Does your puppy or dog ignore you when you order him to do something? Who rules the territory in your home, you or him? Does he fulfill his duties wherever he chooses, or when you sit down to dinner, does he dance around the table saying “I want mine too”? Sounds like you have a disobedient dog that needs some discipline from you. In this article, we are going to look at some basic dog training tips that will come in handy with your dog’s behavior problems.

Training your dog at the beginning is very important, if you don’t want to share your life with a disobedient dog. Most people want to treat their dog or puppy as their “little baby”, but a dog is not a baby, it is a dog and should be treated as such. They have a totally different nature than ours and have to be treated as such. They have to know who’s in control, and you’re the one who has to teach them this. There have to be rules in place, and never go back on them. Set rules for him and be very consistent in enforcing them.

Here are some training tips on how to get your dog to do what he’s told:

– First, they must be taught the fundamental basic steps of obedience: sit, stay and go. By teaching them this, they will understand that you are the dominant party.

– When you first bring your dog home, set rules for him. Let him know where to do his homework, either outside or inside in a notebook. Monitor him constantly and know his habits, look for things that may make him want to go to the bathroom. It can be the smell of food, or a particular activity, be observant and know it.

– Let him know which parts of the house he is not allowed to enter and which furniture is off-limits, and be firm and consistent with your commands.

– Never make the mistake of feeding them from the table at mealtime This is one of the biggest mistakes dog owners can make. Once this habit has been started, it is one of the most difficult to break. This communicates to the dog that this is where he is supposed to eat. Instead, have him wait until you’ve finished your meal and then let him eat his own. This creates a sense of your authority over him and don’t give in when he “whines” because he is being left out. He’s not being left out, he’s just being made to wait until he’s finished.

– Never let him jump, even when playing. Always make them sit and wait for you to give them orders.

– Always use a stern voice when initiating a command, as this will impress on the dogs mind that you are the dominant factor.

– Most importantly, reward them for good behavior. Dogs have logical minds, therefore they think in terms of “good guys and bad guys.” A dog learns by recognizing that a specific action is right or wrong. A reward reinforces this thought pattern. If you give your dog a reward when he does the right thing, he will associate that action with a reward. So every time he is rewarded, you are reinforcing a positive frame of mind. They can be rewarded in a number of different ways, be it praise, food, or toys. I have found foods to be the most effective for my own dogs, but use whatever seems to work best for you.

Training a dog takes a lot of time and hard work. That said, time and consistency are very important factors in the process of training your dog. You must take the time to get to know your dog and his habits and be very consistent in his training procedures.

You may even prefer to use a personal dog trainer, or there are also a number of online courses available to meet your needs.
