Bringing a new dog into your home is very rewarding
. Your new dog is the latest addition to your family and it will become your best friend. The foundation of this relationship starts with good basic dog training.
Dog Training-Your First Step
You and your pet will not become best friends until he is house broken. My method was to start using pet pee pads placed beside the front door. After he learned to use the pads, I moved it outside and he learned to go to the door when he needed to take care of business. Now I keep one inside for late night emergencies or while I'm at work.
But don't stop there like so many people do. You must show your dog who is in charge so that you earn their respect Additional dog obedience training is needed, as well. Teaching your dog right from wrong from the start, will help you develop a bond with your new best friend.
Teaching Dog Obedience
Have you ever listened to a dog bark all night? What about the pretty flower garden all dug up? With proper dog training, you can become the master . You don't have to just "put up with it."
You don't want to have the house that no one wants to come visit because of an unruly
dog. Proper obedience of your dog will make you and your friends enjoy a more comfortable life. But start early and be consistent. Your dog will amaze you at how much he wants to please the new owner. Your can be taught to not do things like:
Aggression
Barking
Chewing
Digging
Growling
Whining
These are not things that you have to accept as a new dog comes into your home. You have got to stay on top of it every day to make this an enjoyable lifetime together. It will take much hard work, but by doing proper dog training from the beginning and sticking with it will be very rewarding down the road.
In Conclusion
Bringing a new dog into your life can be a very rewarding experience, or it can be a nightmare. Teaching your dog obedience from the beginning will build a bond that is very rewarding for both you and your dog. How much time you spend and the amount of patience you have with your dog, will determine how it will act in the future. Love and respect your new best friend.
