It can be an overwhelming experience the first time, you bring home a dog. Your new best friend will need a lot of attention and care. But you will make your life (and your dogs) much easier, if you learn to behave. And here is the right training crucial.
Professional dog trainers make it look so simple to train dogs. But if you think it is, you are wrong. The first time you try yourself, you will probably experience that even the simplest methods are not working. But all dogs try to please their owners, so spend a lot of time with your dog. Then it will love you; and thereby try to obey you.
When the dog is between the age of 3 and 16 weeks, it is a good time to start training it. The bond between you and the dog will take hold. And the training will be easier in the future, if you earn its respect there.
The first thing you need to learn your dog is to obey commands. And again it looks easy when the experienced dog trainer does it. But when you are trying the same, the dog might just look stupid at you and ignore your wishes.
The secret is in the tone of the voice. Professional dog trainers do not posses special animal talking skills; they are just experienced in dog behavior and know how voice can get the dog to do, what they want. And you can learn the same by practicing.
Your command tone must be firm; but also non-threatening. You must show who is the dominating part in the relationship between you and the dog. If you not do so, you will not be able to make your dog obey. And you cannot do it by threatening or yelling at your dog. It will only make it fear you.
The best way to train a dog is by praising it, when it has done something right. Even though it can distinguish between right and wrong, you have to learn it the difference. And you do that by giving it proper feedback when training.
So by using the tone of your voice to show it, when it has done something right or wrong, you can learn it to distinguish between what is good behavior; and what is not. Again remember that the dog will try to please the owner, the dog will learn to everything it can to follow your instructions.
When you master the tone of the voice, you can start to search for more complicated training methods to take the training even further.
And a final advice; all dogs have different temperament and intelligence. So what might work on one dog, is not always working on other dogs. So find the methods that work with your dog.
