Last time before obedience classes were popular, nearly every dog owner relied on home dog training to get their dog to perform tricks and obey.
Dog owners really had no choice but to spend time teaching Fido at home if they wanted a well behaved dog. They had to have the patience, willpower, and desire to do so. Many people learned how to train their dogs from their parents who had owned dogs. Some read dog training books to learn how to do it.
You can either train your dog through dog obedience classes or conduct home dog training just as your ancestors did. If you are low in budget, conducting home training is a better choice.
To train a dog, you can use a mixture of consistency, praise, and treats as dogs are quite a simple creature. Give them enough of those, and they’ll be doing whatever you want in no time. You can teach them to obey you and to amuse your friends by performing some cute tricks.
One of the best method to train your dog is to model the behavior you want from him. For example, if you want him to sit on command, then gently place him in a sitting position while saying ‘sit’ in a firm tone.Remember to look into your dog’s eyes too while conducting this training.
Continue to do it for many times and eventually your dog will be able to sit upon your command. When your dog does correctly, remember to give him a treat and praise him. If he still cannot do it properly, continue to do the training and your dog will one day able to obey your command.
Some dogs can learn the tricks quite fast while some take a bit more time. But the good things is they will get it one day.
Be sure to keep praising and giving treats for the first several times your dog does the right thing on command. This is important. After a while, you can forego the treats but continue to praise your dog. Your dog need to know whether are you happy with him.
