Why would you want to train your dog at home? Well, some dog owners find themselves so busy with work, their kids, the every day to day things they have to do, that they never find the time to take their dogs to a training school or to take training classes. Not only taking your dog to obedience school takes time, but it also costs money. You have to pay for the classes and for the gas of your vehicle. If you want to take your dog to obedience school that is great, but if you decide to train your dog at home, read below.
Are you well aware that prior to you enroll your dog in a dog training obedience classes it is essential that you first of all train your dog at the comforts of your own household? Yes, you might not be informed of how significant dog training in your home is, just it's extremely critical because it will function as the basis of their training. There are in reality three types of house training categories and those include basic house training where you instruct your pet of how to properly make use of the toilet area. Next is the submissive wetting, where urination happens when the dog is too excited. The last type is marking which should be done upon reaching puberty. There are those male dogs that will mark their territory.
House training your dog should only be done for two weeks as they're solely destined to establish a routine. But for those dogs that had already developed bad attitude, retraining can last for a longer period of time, you would be looking for about 6 weeks training. To train a dog, you must learn to be committed on the project and consistent enough in the command you're giving them. You have to become prepared enough once the training begins and that include determining the area where the training will take place. As soon as you get the pup, visit a veterinarian right ahead for a complete check-up in order to make sure that your puppy is well fit and he is not suffering from any known medical complication which could hind the success of dog training in your home. Problems as intestinal parasites, abdominal problems, and urinary tract infections can make house training harder or even not possible the least bit.
Dog training in your home should start out with toilet training. Choose an empty piece of land around your house or a specific corner of the backyard. You are required to have a specified area where the dog will be trained to avoid confusion. You would want to schedule the training to and whenever you can't adhere to the schedule and so you must not expect the dog to stick to any of your command. Try to feed him food which wouldn't disturb their GI tract. Ward off free feed as much as possible until the training is completed. To establish discipline in his behavior, schedule the bed time and wakening time.
Take into consideration that young puppies will require frequent nap times, make certain that your schedule can accommodate their need. And if during training in your home, the dog starts to make errors, determinedly but gently say "No" and take the dog straight to his toilet area. Don't scream in horror at the dog nor even go after him. Always keep in mind that your attitude is among the most meaningful elements in house training your dog. Be patient, your dog doesn't know what is wrong so it's you that must dictate what should and what should not be done.
If your pet makes an error tell him "no" but do not punish your dog. Remember positive reinforcement works a lot more effectively when training your dog, than the old dog training school of using negative reinforcement. Punishing your dog or hitting your dog is part of negative reinforcement training and should be avoided at all times. Giving your dog a treat or talking sweet and kindly to your dog is part of positive reinforcement and it's the type of training you should use with your dog.
