Dog Obedience Training ARTICLES
|
- Dog Obedience Training : Teaching Your Dog The “Enough” Command - “Enough” is one of the most unusual yet necessary commands you will ever teach your pet. It is a command that will stop an activity when it is time to do so, which is after it was “Ok” and before it gets to be too much.
- Dog Obedience Training : Teaching Your Dog The “Down” Command From A Distance - To get your dog to lie down when he is not near you will take some work on your part, but it is not as difficult as it looks. It is the prerequisite for a good emergency down and it is therefore an important part of insuring your dog's safety when he is off leash. If you see danger coming and can keep your dog safe with one word, it will be less risky to work him off leash.n
- Dog Obedience Training : Showing Your Dog Who's The Boss - Before you begin training your dog, settle who is in charge of your "pack." Address that issue with leadership exercises so that the actual training can truly be as much fun as it is supposed to be. You may do a simple four-week leadership program that consists of the thirty-minute “Down” and the ten-minute “Sit,” each done three times a week, on alternate days. Both can be practiced at any time of the day, so long as you keep an eye on your pet.
- Dog Obedience Training : Quick Dog Discipline - When you catch your dog behaving badly, you have to discipline him immediately. Below are tips on how to properly do it.
1. Don't react to the evidence. Control yourself. Don't say anything. If the dog is in the room and you enter, avert your glance from the evidence as soon as you notice it. Even if the dog is already running away , don't say anything.
- Dog Obedience Training : Psychology Of Dog Training: Why Do We Correct Our Dogs? - What are we trying to accomplish when we correct a dog? Do we want to make the dog submissive to us? Are we trying to show the dog that we're displeased with his behavior? Do we want the dog to feel guilty or ashamed over what he has done or how he is behaving? I think not. When we strip away all of the emotional considerations involved in any incident where we feel the dog deserves a correction, whether it be anger, disappointment, a sense of betrayal, or embarrassment, we want him to stop doing something that isn't appropriate. The owner wants the dog to settle down.
- Dog Obedience Training : Let Your Dog Recognize His Boundaries - Unless you have a fenced yard, never leave your dog outdoors alone when you're not at home. But if you are home, it's reasonable to expect your trained dog to stay near the house no matter how temptingly a distraction may appeal to him from the outside. Begin by letting him know what his boundaries are. Take a mason's twine made from cotton so that over a period of time it will rot away and he will have that duration to generalize the lesson to the area defined. Allow a zone around the house of about 100 to 200 feet. Lay the twine out around the house at nose height, about six inches off the ground
- Dog Obedience Training : How To Train Your Dog To “Retrieve” - The “Retrieve” must be learned step by step. First, you should teach your dog to take a very light dumbbell and hold it. Even though a handler has never tried this with his dog he should be able to accomplish it in one lesson. If you are training a dog who refused to retrieve when some other method was used, and he has become stubborn or frightened, it might take two or three lessons. The length of time it takes will depend upon your skill in using your voice as you tighten his collar.
