Basic Training Tips

Posted by Timbernee on Thu 10th June 2010 6.20AM

1. Be patient and never ever hit a dog. 2. Keep it simple! Dogs see things in black and white (for every action, there is either a consequence or praise). 3. Keep vocal commands/corrections to a minimum of words (ex.: a simple stern NO, or GOOD SIT/DOWN/STAY/HEEL, etc.) 4. Keep praise & corrections balanced (don't overpraise or overcorrect). 5. ALWAYS start training with a leash and collar. That will be your foundation for eventual off-leash). 6. Don't put your dog in a situation where you're not in a position to correct for a bad behavior Crate Training A Puppy within 3 seconds. 7. Always end on a positive note.

Hi Timbernee.. grin.. Thanks for suggesting these some nice tips for dog training. Dog training enrich your relationship and make it more enjoyable. But I would also add that training your dog should be a fun and rewarding activity for you and your dog. Praising and rewarding good behavior are the most important aspects of successful dog training. Dog Insurance
