Dog Training for Beginners
It can be an overwhelming experience the first time, you bring home a dog. Your new best friend will need a lot of attention and care. But you will make your life (and your dogs) much easier, if you learn to behave. And here is the right training crucial.
It looks so simple, when experienced dog trainers trains dogs. But you will probably find even the simplest methods to be difficult in practice. But before you give up, you must remember that a dog try to please its owner. So spend a lot of time with your dog. Then it will both love and obey you.
When the dog is between the age of 3 and 16 weeks, it is a good time to start training it. The bond between you and the dog will take hold. And the training will be easier in the future, if you earn its respect there.
Commands are the first to learn in dog training. But it is not as simple as the experienced dog trainer can make it look. Your dog will probably not obey your commands, when you are trrying the same.
The success lies in the tone of the voice. It may seem like the experienced dog trainers know a secret dog language. But actually they do just know how the tone of the voice can make the dog obey. And if you practice a lot, you can learn the same.
The right command tone is firm but non-threatening. To make the dog obey you, you much establish a relationship between you and the dog, where you are the master. If you miss that, you will not be able to train your dog. And threatening or yelling will not help you. It will just make your dog fear you.
Praising you dog is the best way to train it. Tell it when it has done something right. It is possible for a dog to distinguish between right and wrong. But you have to learn it the right behavior with good feedback.
So by using the tone of your voice to show it, when it has done something right or wrong, you can learn it to distinguish between what is good behavior; and what is not. Again remember that the dog will try to please the owner, the dog will learn to everything it can to follow your instructions.
The tone of the voice is the first thing you have to focus at as a dog training beginner. When you have learned that, you can start to use more complicated training methods.
And a final issue; the temperament and intelligence are different for all dogs. So when a method might work on one dog, it might not on another. So learn which methods that works with your dog; and stick to them.
