Super Quick Dog Training Tips

You thought you were bringing home the dog of your dreams but quickly you find yourself wondering if you're the new owner of the hound of the Baskervilles. Never fear, we've got some super quick dog training tips to set you on your way to the perfect pooch!

When you first bring your puppy home, those first few days are the most important. You should be patient, consistent, and persistent form day one with your new puppy. Be sure not to let your puppy get away with behaviours you are not going to allow and positively reinforce the behaviours you are wanting to see.

To reduce the barking of your dog, try getting them used to what causes the barking in the first place. It can be a sound, or being face to face with other people or other animals. Your dog will understand that there is no need to bark in these situations.

Correct bad behaviour immediately. The common mistake many people make in the care for their dog is allowing bad behaviour to go unchecked until it becomes a problem. Proper training of a dog involves recognizing bad behaviour right away and correcting it. It is harder to correct a problem once it has grown out of proportion.

When training a dog to a leash it is important to keep the leash loose. Dogs are often eager to explore new territory when they get the opportunity to go for a walk. Because of their eagerness they will tend to strain on the limits of leash. The savvy owner will discourage this behaviour, instead encouraging his or her pet to walk with some slack in the leash.

Most owners are amazed at how easy it is to incorporate basic dog training into their life, and how quickly they start to notice results. So if your relationship with your pooch is feeling a bit strained, try out some of these tips. We think you'll be impressed with the results!
