When we talk about canine
training at home we think about doing it all by ourselves, training our puppies
the way our parents did, or what worked before with our other dogs. Most people
believe they know how to train dogs and do not want or need help doing it. They
may think the pooch training at home starts with potty training and proceeds
with complex commands.
Many pet owners turn to books or
films to show them pooch training at home. There are ordinarily two sorts of
methodologies to canine training at home, food reward or repetition. Food
reward is using treats as bribes to reward a puppy’s behaviour. Repetition
training is repeating commands or requests to a dog does it. Some people try
these methods together, but both can develop bad habits. You don’t want or need
to use food to get a dog to do what it should. Repeating commands teach a dog
that it does not have to listen to you the first time you tell it. Repetition
training is more asking than commanding and should be used for trick training
not obedience or manners training.
When you begin dog training at
home always start with positive. Praising your puppy or new dog while it is
doing the right things, the things you want it to do. A loving bond between
master and canine is always the best foundation for respect and developing that
respect to be able to show any dog what pleases and displeases you as pack
leader.
