Dog Training Tricks And Techniques To Get Your Puppy Started

When a new dog or puppy makes its way into your life the journey has just begun

. As real children need to be taught life lessons so do puppies and these dog training tricks will help you along the way. We as the pet owner have to not only show our pets love and respect but we also have to teach them as we do children what is the right thing and the wrong things in life.

You will want to start your dog out with one of the easiest to learn commands, it is the sit command. This will also be needed to learn the two other tricks within this article as well. Dogs who sit on command are easier to control in crowds, in parks or at home. They no longer jump up in peoples laps and jump on furniture when they are not suppose too.

You will need your pups favorite doggie treats to begin with. Pick one up and place it over their head out of reach from them jumping up to get it. Keep holding there until as you say sit he puts his rear end down onto the floor or other surface area. Then say sit again and give him words of praise and the treat. They will quickly associate doing the right thing with the positive reinforcement of the treat and the praise and will be sitting when you say it in just a week or so.

The next command you should teach your pet is the one to lie down. This is something especially important if they will be traveling by care with you or other members of your family for long or even short distances. This command will keep them from moving around inside the car itself which could be hazardous to you as well as other drivers on the road.

Still using the treat method of training tell him to sit and then take the treat pulling it away from him across the ground or surface he is sitting on until he is in the lying down position. Then tell him the lie down command, give him the treat and give him praise for a job well done.

The last of these three tricks is also one that may take them the longest to get right as it is one called stay. Most dogs and puppies especially do not want to be still but where you or other family members are playing and more. Do not forget about training them with this command though because it is a very important one. Stay will keep them from running out doors, running away from you at parks and more. Again you will tell your dog the command of sit. Once they are in the proper place then with treat in hand and in front of them keep saying stay, stay, stay. If they move at any time you must start all over from the beginning again until they actually do stay. Once they stay then give them their treat as a reward and keep working with them until you no longer have to use the treat only praises and petting.

Training sessions should not be very long. Dogs especially puppies can become bored very easily and not as focused as they can be in shorter sessions. Routines on a daily basis are another thing that dogs rank on their list of importance as well. Make your daily sessions around the same time every day in the morning before work or in the evenings after supper. The training of your dog gives you and him quality time together so you should each have fun with it and have some much needed play time after a good days lessons.

Many pet stores have different types of books for training tips and techniques they even have some specified for certain breeds and their behaviors. You will also be able to find training videos as well which will give you some insight on new tricks to teach your dog and some answers regarding some behavior issues you have concerns about.

Certain behavioral issues which are relatively easy to get under control include biting playfully or nibbling and chewing items they should not be chewing, jumping on people or furniture and barking uncontrollably. This is why dog training tricks is such an important part of any responsible pet owners life. Be patient with your furry friend and he will learn these and more tricks to showcase his great manners and more o family, friends and strangers alike.
