How to Better Train Your Dog

By Stacadam Joamoz


For most pet owners, training dogs is hard work. Some however, find it a very enjoyable activity; they see it as a way to reach a higher understanding with their pet through patience and steady effort.

Canines are very excitable mammals, so long as they think something is fun - they're more inclined to jump in. If the owner manages to make training their dog fun rather than hard and rigorous, the better the results are at teaching the dog something new. Having it run around to catch a stick or chase around a ball is not only fun for both of you, but it's also training!

Dogs have a follower-leader mindset. This means that you need to establish that you are its owner before it learns to respect you. You must earn that respect by being strict when the need arises. If you want to effectively train your dog, be sure that it understands your superiority over it.

It is also a bad idea to spoil your pet or cuddle it too much at it feels pampered. You are giving it the impression that you are its follower and it is your master. Remember, respect is an important part of training - if you let your pet walk all over you, then it may refuse to train or even follow what you say. Be assertive and confident when training your pet.

There is no easy way to instantly train a dog how to act properly or fetch your slippers with a minimum of fuss. It takes a considerable amount of time to master. You and your dog must grow as time will pass, because books can't tell you everything. When it comes down to it, experience is the best shot you have having your pet learn the ropes.
