Your home is your domain. Your dog must see the environment they live in as your territory. Stepping around a lying dog or not moving the animal from a place you intend to use gives him the right of way. This should not be allowed. Dominance in the pack means exercising your power in a non-confrontational way but with firm resolve that this is your territory.

 

Although a well trained dog can be taught to put up with just about anything, there will be times and situations where they are truly uncomfortable with a person, another animal, or a place. Don't force your dog to suffer through more of this discomfort than is absolutely necessary. There is a reason that they are uncomfortable and you need to determine that reason.

 

Consistency is really the secret to crate training puppies. When letting your dog out of the crate, be sure to immediately allow your dog to relieve himself. The dog will grow his bladder so he can hold it for longer and longer this way.

 

Training sessions for your dog should be fun and stress-free. Your dog will learn better, and you will be able to teach better in a positive environment. Use your training session as a bonding time with your dog and have fun. This will help you and your dog have a life-long relationship.

 

Next time your dog jumps up on you in excitement, tell them "Off" in a firm (but not angry) voice, gently push them off, and turn your back. The verbal command and action of moving them reinforces what the command means, and turning restricts their access to you. This accomplishes two things: a) your dog can't jump on you anymore, b) your dog feels he loses your attention, which is the exact opposite of what he wants. This teaches him quickly not to jump on you.

 

Start your dog's training by doing something it could easily learn. Not only will you achieve gratification due to your success, but your dog will know what acceptable behavior is. This will give you much better results while training.

 

When potty training your dog, be consistent. Establish one, specific place for your dog to do his business. Take him there at the same times daily (e.g. when you first get up in the morning, when you get home from work, and just before bed). Praise your dog when he does his business in the right place at the right time. If he has an accident in the house, tell him "No!" firmly, and take him out to his potty place.

 

These tips should really help you gain training confidence. Use the information you find here in relation to your circumstances. No doubt, you'll be tied up emotionally to a faithful and cute dog. Training is the best way to reach success. Make sure your pet is well trained. Best wishes to you and your furry family member.
