Easy Basic Dog TrainingBy Leonie Blyth

So you have brought a new puppy home with you and trying to train him/her all by yourself. For this you need the knowledge and techniques used by professional or expert dog trainers or you will most likely find it impossible.

The age greatest to start training your puppy is in the 6-8 week period. In this period of time your puppy will have a mind like a sponge, ready to absorb all useful information and details you throw at them.

If your dog is past this age or even along way past this age don't panic, your dog can still absorb this information and details about the same rate or even faster sometimes if you have a calm dog which pays attention to you.

It is a key ingredient to training your dog that the owner understands that training their dogs will assist and help the dog in a positive way. One of the easiest ways an owner can train their dog is to reward them for every positive action they make rather thanpunishing them for every not positive action they make. For example, every time your dog does what it is instructed to do reward it with a biscuit or its favourite treat. This will assist and help them understand that if obey a command they are rewarded, so they will do it again and again. All dogs crave the attention and approval of the owner and it is in the top 3 of their wants and needs list, competing with food and water.The dog owner should never strike the dog violently due to training failure. Instead they should keep their dog calm.

Dog Training - Most Common MistakesBy Peter Ljunggren

Some of the most common mistakes which are made by pet owners are that they pamper their pets too much. Usually most dog owners decide to train their pets themselves and most of them fail to do so. The reason behind this failure is the excess pampering which is bestowed on the puppy. Only a dog or canine owner can understand the sympathetic look on the faces of their dogs and how difficult it is to refuse them another slice of ham. Hence it is suggested that the pet should be trained through a professional or expert rather than yourself.Also while the dog is being trained the pet owner should try and avoid coming near the area of training. Usually the dogs are aware that their masters are watching and seek refuge by running to them.

It is essential for the dog owners to understand that training their dogs would help the dog in a positive way, in place of being overwhelmed by emotions and refusing the trainer to touch your small darling. One of the simplest ways through which owners can train their dogs is to reward them for every positive step rather than punishing them for every mistake they make. For example, every time your dog obeys your command reward it with a biscuit or its favorite food. This will assist and help them to understand their rewards and try and obey their masters more. All dogs crave for their attention and approval of the owner. Hence the owners should use this advantage to train their pets rather than pamper them at time. Once the dog is trained there would be plenty of time for pampering it. Also it should be noted that the dog does not understand your language. It has to be trained so that it starts to associate words with actions. Yelling at the mistake of the dog is like the dog barking at you when there meals are not servedon time.

The simplest way is to train the dog to understand simple words like 'no', 'good', etc. Try not to get upset or wild while training your pet. This will not help the dog to understand its mistakes. Another common mistake made by most dog owners are that they try to get angry at their pets because they are taking time to train or fail to respond to the masters commands. Dogs are not spiteful and make mistakes purposely. Hence if the does not seem to understand your training and continues with its regular mistakes then it is greatest to get a professional or expert trainer.

The dog owner should never hit the dog violently due to training failure. Instead they should try and keep their calm. Love and affection is craved by all dogs. Hence try to spend some time with your dog after the trainer leaves. Reward all obeyed commands as this will encourage the dog to obey more of your commands and show tricks taught by the trainer to please the master. And most importantly love your dog however don't pamper it so much that they fail to obey your commands.

The life as dog owner is so much easier when you have trained your dog properly. Dog Obedience Training is an important step to get a happy and nice dog, which will benefit both you and your dog. Learn more about training your dog!
