Training dogs takes patience and consistency. If you are considering adding a dog to your family, having a training plan is important. Not all of us can be professional dog trainers, so these three dog trainers shared their number one tip for anyone training their dog. - Reward the behavior you want. Positive reinforcement includes plenty of training treats, and you'll be handing out treats whenever your dog does something you want them to do. This method is proven to work better than negative reinforcement.
- Consistency. Create a predictable routine for your dog. It's like a behavior road map, and your dog will learn what to do at certain times. Don't allow them to break the rules for a special occasion because they cannot tell the difference.
- Remember your dog's Grade School Level (GSL). This is about meeting your dog where they are. Their level will indicate what they can do reliably and consistently. You may need to reduce distractions and physical distance between you and try again.
If you are struggling with training or feeling overwhelmed, contact a professional and work with them to create a training plan for your dog. | | | Image courtesy of PureWow | | The Importance Of Health For You And Your Pup
