Train Your Dog

BASIC TIPS

How your dog does behave? Does he need some obedience training? Well if your dog is starting to be your headache then it is time to think about training him of basic obedience such as coming when called, sitting, where to poop and not chewing rubbers. These trainings require more patience. You can’t teach a dog two things in one day. You let the dog get used to your instruction and practice it day by day until it registered already in its memory. First of all socialize him and bring him to places where he can see people around. A good way of training a dog is once it did something good or obeyed what you asked, then reward it like giving him food. Like humans, dogs are also longing for companionship and affection. While on training, you must still show affection and patience to him and never let him feel scared. There are many techniques in training dogs; one is the leash and collar training which I will explain later on. This is the main type of training and considered as traditional. First you should understand basic tips in starting to train your dog. Here are few tips for you;

• Show that you are the leader in your human-dog relationship.
• Let the dog understand or know those unacceptable behaviors like chewing your slippers.
• Enforce a command and don’t let him ignore it.
• Don’t be too hard or strict in enforcing the command while on training.
• Reward him for every good behavior or every time he obeyed you to make it clear to him those acceptable behaviors.

LEASH and COLLAR TRAINING

Start training your dog when he is still a puppy. First, you should pick a non-choking type of collar and leash. At first, you put the leash on your dog for just few minutes and let him wander with freedom (loose leash). Do it like 3 times in a day so he’ll get used to it. Then, start restricting your dog from wandering around and let him follow your direction. Later on the dog will learn how to be a “walkies”, which means that he walks with you without pulling the leash or trying to run away. When he’s done with that training, you can now start teaching him how to sit. Take all of the leash in your right hand then place your left hand on your dog's rear. Jerk up on the collar and leash with your right hand; push down on the dog's rear with your left hand while giving the command "sit". Give praise after your dog sits. Repeat each time you stop walking. Then teach him how to stay or remain in his place. Position him into a sit place then stand up facing your dog for just a short distance. Now be ready when he starts to move away without your signal. If he tries to do so catch him and say “No! Bad Dog.”, then reposition him then leave him for 10 counts and give a signal using your left hand facing down and say “stay”. Then do it over and over again every day. With this technique your dog is starting to know how to wait for your command and signal and you can already teach him more. Use just single or two words for command so that he would easily recognize and memorize it. I hope this helps you in dealing with your dog’s behavior.

The most common pet in the world is puppy. Everyone would love to hug a cute and hairy puppy. They are not just animals but puppies are also intelligent and easy to train. Some researchers measured the intelligence of puppies. They said that the nerve cells in pups' brains are not fully developed until 4 weeks of age and visual centers are not up to speed until 7-8 weeks of age. Some senses are not fully developed until some time between 4 and 8 weeks and adult coordination may not be attained until the juvenile period is reached. One thing also that pet lovers should consider is every kind or breed of puppies has different intelligence level. It was studied that the right period to measure puppy’s IQ level is between 7 to 12 weeks old. There are many ways to measure their intelligence that we can research over the net. One example is you can buy Pooch IQ kit in pets store or order it online and it will determine how smart your puppy is. You’ll be surprised by the result, it’s amazing.

Now to train your puppy you need to start from the basic like basic obedience command. One thing that is very effective is to start socializing your puppy in its first to four months age, bring it to places where there are different things to see around and different sounds like the sidewalk, the beach or parade. Then start training it with the basics like simple obedience. Teach your puppy not to chew electric wires or rubber stuff like your thongs, give it reward for its obedience and treat it with gentleness. Don’t force it into the crate, use positive reinforcement and communicate to the puppy in the manner that they will understand. It is also good to have a regular veterinarian for your puppy and have it checked regularly.

It is very important to understand how to treat your pets and how to take care of them. Animals don’t have like human IQ level that they will pick up what you teach them fast. Patience is very important in having pets like puppy. Pets are our companion and friend; they give us happiness and comfort and teach us how to express our emotions. If you have a pet and you treat it nice, then it is as good as having a true friend.
