How To Train A Dog - September 3, 2008 -

Dog must be trained as young as possible, with the earliest being around 6 weeks of age. However, due to the many age ranges of dogs when they are adopted into a new family, this is not always possible. Therefore, please keep in mind a dog can learn to be trained, but it may take more time is all. With that being said, there are many tricks that can be used in order to get your dog to behave and become trained. While some tricks may work with others, that doesnt necessarily mean that that same trick will work with yours. It all underlies in the way in which the dogs are being trained. Some owners do not have the patience to train their dogs and just expect that if the owner says sit to the dog once or twice, then the dog should catch on. This is absolutely no way to train a dog.

The first thing in which an owner must do is get their dogs attention. If the dog has no idea that you are trying to command something to them, then they will definitely not listen. Get their attention by calling their name.

The second thing in which an owner must do is understand what commands they want to teach their dog. Once these commands are identified, and then the owner can start getting their dogs attention and making commands. However, only train the dog one command at a time, having too many commands will confuse the dog.

The third thing in which an owner must do is to constantly stay consistent. You cant teach your dog a new trick if you do not be consistent with your training of commands.

If you follow all of these three tips, you will for sure be on the right track to training your dog to behave! Then, once your dog behaves, you will have more time to focus on other things in your life that dont require much commanding and time.
