Dog Training And Health Care Essentials 2012
The most important aspect of dog training is your ability to project a calm and self assured energy
. Your body and mind should be free of tension.
Dogs follow confident and well balanced leaders as a survival mechanism. If they do not receive this leadership they will endeavour to become pack leader.
A dog learns commands via instant association, this could be verbal, visual or a combination of the two.
Instant association means that whatever your dog is doing at the time you give the command, that is the action he or she will associate with the command. For example wait until your puppy is walking to you before saying here.
Walking your dog is vitally important, if he or she is to remain both physically and mentally healthy. A treadmill can be used to drain energy however, being restricted to a small space such as a garden or house goes against millions of years of evolution.
Your dog will develop cabin fever and become anxious if unable to roam.
When giving corrections it is extremely important to remain calm. Challenge your dog head on with a calm and assured energy until he/she submits.
A well timed verbal correction or non-aggressive touch can be used to redirect your dogs focus however, a silent stare down will create a longer lasting effect.
Love, praise and stroking are all rewards, so ask yourself what are you rewarding. Attention can be a reward which is worth thinking about whilst correcting your dog.
Often a high energy reward can undo the good work a reward was actually given for. Often the greatest reward is providing your dog with a positive, calm atmosphere.
It is important to have as few setbacks as possible. Crates are brilliant for puppies, providing structure, rest time, security and most importantly teaching them to hold their toilets.
After sleeping, feeding, exercise and play place your puppy in the area you wish to be used as their toilet.
