Training Techniques for Dog Obedience Lessons

Have you been getting frustrated over your dog jumping up and down on people whenever you have visitors over? Can’t understand why your little angel runs away from you at the park while everyone else’s pets always come back to them? The answer to such questions lies in dog obedience training. You must also have the right patience and attitude.   

The basics include teaching your doggie to stay, sit, and come.  These basic commands will be very beneficial to you later on your doggie’s life.  Whenever you take your dog out, you don’t want him to run all over the neighbourhood uncontrolled---you want to show him off for being the perfect doggie that he is! 

There are some great dog and puppy obedience classes available, so if you can’t get your canine properly trained by yourself, you should consider taking him to a class.  There he will learn socialization skills, along with how to behave properly.  He’ll also learn obedience commands.  Dogs are a lot like children in some aspects, except for all the fur.  They need to be taught the difference between right and wrong. 

Treats are always great for dog training and obediencetechniques.   You award your doggies with special treats whenever they’ve done something right.  If they don’t respond or do so incorrectly, they don’t get a treat.  There’s no point in shouting or being mean to your doggie, as he’ll only become scared.  You obviously don’t want that to happen.  You should want to form a happy relationship with your canine! 

Whenever you teach your doggie obedience, try to teach him to stay away from distractions.  Don’t allow him to become distracted from his toys during his dog obedience lessons.  Instead, take him to a field or park where there aren’t many distractions or people.  Tell him firmly, but kindly, that you want him to sit.  Place your hand on his back and gently guide him down, bottom first.  When he’s down, tell him he’s a “good boy” and then give him his treat! 

Repeat this over and over again until your dog realizes that when you say “sit”, he must sit.  Eventually, treats won’t be necessary.  Getting him to “stay” is another matter entirely, and you’ll probably need help for that. First, get him to sit, then get someone to hold him while you walk away.  Tell him to “stay” as you’re walking, and hold your hand up for him to see.  Give him a few seconds and then have your friend release him.   

When he comes to you, have him sit and shower him with praise and give him his treat for successfully doing a new dog training technique.  While using such techniques, you should always teach him how to “come” to you.  Always use the word instead of his/her name. 

When puppies are tiny babies they are a lot like soft clay; they need to be shaped, and you can do as such with obedience training.  At an early age, you can teach your dog plenty of tricks.  The younger you start, the easier it is, although old dogs can learn new tricks too!
