One of the most important part of dog training is communication. Be clear and consistent while working with your canine. You have to be conscious of your body language and your verbal cues when training, and remember to always give rewards. Be well aware that your dog is telling you something too. Your dog can let you know how he's feeling, like if he's having a bad day or is worn out.



 Creating good behavior in your dog can be achieved by consistent treatment from all the people who interact with him on a daily basis. Consistency is key when it comes to training your dog. If multiple people are training a dog with different methods, the dog becomes confused.

 Use your dog's name whenever you are offering it a treat. If you want to have control of your dog, you have to teach him to respond to you. Get your dog's attention this way ten times every day. Also, on no occasion punish your dog if he comes running to you whenever you say his name.

 You should always walk your dog before leaving your house for long periods of time. Wearing him out may minimize his anxiety at being separated from you.

 Appropriate training can help ease your dog's separation anxiety the times you are away from home. If your dog makes it a habit to bark a lot or tear up the home while you are away, it more than likely is suffering from separation anxiety. Proper training can teach your dog appropriate ways to entertain himself while you are not home. Make sure as well that you give your dog lots of love to ease the anxiety.

 In most cases, dogs bite out of fear. The dog will feel fear if it is startled, trapped or feels threatened. Don't forcefully train your dog. If you do this, you can form bad relations with your animal, and you can even be bitten. He will forever be your loyal companion, and best friend.

 Be sure to feed your dog healthy foods and treats. A dog with an unhealthy diet may manifest several symptoms, including sluggishness and poor behavior.

 It may look like a harness is more comfortable for a dog, but it can actually prove to give you less control than even cinching type collars would. When you use both a collar and a harness, and only tug the collar when you need to, the dog will learn that he or she must behave while they are in the harness, too.

 Training can be a big help for a dog suffering from separation anxiety. Dogs that won't stop barking and destroy everything in the house when you leave are probably suffering from separation anxiety. You can fix this problem by giving your dog some kind of activity to occupy his time while you're gone. Always make sure you shower your dog with an abundance of love and affection to comfort his anxious feelings.

 Scold your puppy for chewing your belongings right away. Eventually, the puppy will come to understand which items he is allowed to chew. In addition, he will learn not to chew unacceptable items even if he's left unattended.

 The first thing that you must do is to command control over your dog. If the dog does not understand that you have control he will ignore your commands and act with outright disobedience. Don't let your dog control the direction or pace of your walks.

 Use a phrase on your puppy to house train him. When you take your dog out, repeat this command. This will help him form an association between being taken outside and doing his business.

 If you have to keep your dogs outside, never tie them up too close to one another. If there chains become entangled with one another it could lead to an injury. This is especially dangerous if one dog is larger than the other, as it could use its superior size to maneuver the other dog into a dangerous position.
