DOG OBEDIENCE ADVICE & TIPS

DOG OBEDIENCE ADVICE & TIPS

There are a few dog training do's & don'ts!
here are the top 3 dog obedience tips:

1. Your dog or puppy will always want your attention & basically your dog will do anything to get it. So top tip no 1, give your dog attention when he/she does something right & you should ignore any behaviour that is wrong.

2. Be consistent. Always use the same commands for desired actions. If you keep chopping & changing the commands then how is your poor dog supposed to know what you expect him/her to do?

3. Reward or Punish immediately. Any praise or penalty that is dished should be made immediately. If this is done a few minutes later, it will have absolutely no effect on the dog - your dog will have no idea what it is being praised or punished for.

Three basic tips to help you out - however, I would suggest that you invest in a good dog training guide such as SitStayFetch which is the web's no 1 dog training program or source the services of a professional dog trainer in your area.
