The title of man's best friend seems almost laughable to the owner of an undisciplined, aggressive or destructive dog. Dogs of any age can be prone to behaviors like hyperactivity, aggression, chewing and scratching. These dog training techniques are designed to help you work with your dog and achieve positive changes.

Make sure to let your pet know a crate is their home initially. When meal time comes, place the food bowl in the crate and keep the door open while the dog eats. This will help them associate good food to the crate.

 

Walking your dog means leading your dog. Your role in this situation is to lead the pack, therefore your pet should be expected to walk a half step behind. You will instill confidence in your pet when they know you are leading the pack and making the decisions. They will be less likely to attempt running or being distracted while you walk.

 

Your home is your domain. Your dog must see the environment they live in as your territory. Stepping around a lying dog or not moving the animal from a place you intend to use gives him the right of way. This should not be allowed. Dominance in the pack means exercising your power in a non-confrontational way but with firm resolve that this is your territory.

 

Dogs are creatures of habit. If you customarily take them out for their walk at the same time every night, they will grow to expect that walk, even to depend on it. Missing the scheduled date by even just a few minutes can result in an accident for the younger dog and even for the older one.

 

A very important command that any dog should know is 'stay'. Not only can this command stop him from doing something dangerous like running into the street, it can calm him down in a strange place. Firstly, tell him to 'sit'. Hold him in the sitting position, repeating the word 'stay'. Praise him with a treat, all the time ensuring that he stays seated.

 

Dog training sessions should occur at the same time each day, if possible. Dogs, much like children, can thrive on a set schedule. This pattern will promote a learning environment in which your dog is eager to learn at the given time. Sporadic training causes confusion within your pet and can prolong the training.

 

Young dogs can easily be trained to retreat to their crate when they are tired. When crate training your dog, always keep the crate in the vicinity of where you and the dog are interacting. When he tires from play he will naturally gravitate towards the crate because to do so doesn't isolate him from you.

 

Rather than waiting another minute for your dog to soil the carpet, chew up your furniture and shoes or make a fool of itself at the local dog park, get started with a training program by using any of these simple, effective and proven tips and tricks, for teaching your dog.
