Train Your Dog At Home
January 26, 2010Before obedience classes were popular, or even available, nearly every dog owner in the past relied on home dog training to get their dog to obey and perform tricks.
Dog owners really had no choice but to spend time teaching Fido at home if they wanted a well behaved dog. They had to have the patience, willpower, and desire to do so. Many people learned how to train their dogs from their parents who had owned dogs. Some read dog training books to learn how to do it.
While there is a ready availability of dog obedience classes today, you can still accomplish home dog training just as your ancestors did. This is an especially useful option if you just don’t have the available funds to go to obedience classes with your dog.
Dogs are easy to train. You just need to use a mixture of consistency, praise, and treats. Give them enough of those, and they’ll be doing whatever you want in no time. They will obey you and perform nice tricks to impress your friends.
The most successful way to train your dog at home is to model the behavior you want from him. For example, if you want him to sit on command, then gently place him in a sitting position and say “sit” very firmly, while looking him in the eyes.
Continue to do it for many times and eventually your dog will be able to sit upon your command. When your dog does correctly, remember to give him a treat and praise him. If he still cannot do it properly, continue to do the training and your dog will one day able to obey your command.
Some dogs can learn the tricks quite fast while some take a bit more time. But the good things is they will get it one day.
With home dog training, just be sure to keep praising and giving treats for the first several times your dog does the right thing on command. After a while, you can forego the treats, but be sure to always praise, at least a little. Your dog wants to know he is making you happy.
Who else wants their dog to be well behaved around people and other dogs? AND have them obey all of your house rules even when you’re not around! .
