indoors is Crate training.
This allows your
Almost everyone will tell you they want
their canine helper to be an obedient one,
and shortly after that they’ll sigh and say
that it is no easy task.
It is believed that wolves and dogs share a
common ancestor. It was only after
generations upon generations of selective
breeding that this mighty beast was
transformed into man’s subservient little
helper. So, the next time you see a wolf
think of it as a dog’s closest cousin. (But
that doesn’t mean they are even remotely
approachable as they are wild carnivore
predators)
In the beginning, it can be seriously
overwhelming. Especially so if you’re
training your first dog. But breaking it
down can make your task far less
daunting. The average dog will take
around six weeks to be a trained dog,
ready to take on the world with you.
To answer this question, there are
multiple stages to train your dog. Start
small by setting a basic foundation onto
which the trainer and the dog can enjoy
before getting onto the actual training.
This is called a “Dog Obedience Program”
Another crucial stage that can be
especially useful if you keep your dog
dog to use a crate to eliminate his bodily
wastes instead of littering them on your
most-prized antique sofa or hardwood
floors.
Moreover, every dog needs to learn how
to wear and savour their leash. In addition
to leash laws in some jurisdictions, dogs
will absolutely need to wear it for their
own safety. To ensure your dog enjoys
wearing his leash you should always keep
it loose so that he doesn’t correlate a leash
being put on his neck with gasping for air
and pain. Over time, your little friend will
know exactly how fast it needs to walk
and may even be perfectly walkable while
you ride your bike, side by side.
Offer your dog a treat every time he
behaves well. Dogs are very intelligent
and will start to correlate between reward
and behaviour. (Positive reinforcement)
You can combine the abovementioned
strategy with punishment for the dog’s
wrongdoings. To punish a dog, simply
change your tone and body language to
show concern or dismay.
For example, if he breaks a vase after a
short burst of hyperactivity, you exclaim:
“Bad dog!” pointing at his face. Over time,
your dog will also correlate this with
behaviour and will adjust accordingly.
(Negative reinforcement)
Unlike parrots, most dogs will not want to
do an action if it upsets you just to get a
negative reaction from you. What a relief!
