Regardless of the age of your dog it is never to late to train them.
However, when possible, you should begin training a puppy at 6 to 8
weeks old. In this article we will look at dog training tips that you
can use to train your dog or puppy. First of all positive
reinforcement is the best way to train your dog. Positive training
leads to your dog wanting to please you and it will learn a lot
faster. Dogs are like children in that they want to please you, but
they need to be taught how. As soon as they know how to do this they
will feel a part of your family.
By rewarding your dog with positive praise, and a treat, they will
learn to listen to the command you are trying to teach. Each treat
could be a piece of small chicken, or a tiny treat the size of a dime.
You do not want your dog eating off your table so teach them to lay
down in their bed when it is time to sit down at the table to eat.
Dogs need to only eat their own dog food.
When teaching your dog to stay, go down, and sit, you want to use a
lower firm voice. But for the come and heel command do this in a
friendly voice. Just make sure that all are firm but friendly
commands. By using a different voice they will know you are teaching
them something....
