Dog training can be used to help fulfill some of your pets basic needs, such as exercise and constructive social interaction. This will cut the amount of stress felt from living a sedentary life, in an active animal such as canis familiaris

Obedience training will give your pet a job to do and can be useful in redirecting the mental energy of an animal that was meant for work.

Training tips in General

1. Use you pets name to get it's attention. To have good control of your pet you must be able to get a good orientation response from the animal. [ Build attention by using your pets name to call it for food, walks, and play. (Some trainers may have a problem with using reinforcement with this exercise)] Do this randomly 10 times a day. Never punish your pet for coming to you or by calling it.
   
   
2. Always enforce commands that you give your canine friend, and don't constantly repeat commands. Don't let your favorite pet ignore a command. If your not serious about enforcing a command, don't give it.
   
   
3. Use timing as a form of communication with your pet. Timing is one of the key elements of animal training. It does not matter what teaching method you use, work at developing the proper timing for each technique.
   
   
4. Reinforce desirable behavior.
   
   
5. Do not reinforce undesired behavior.
   
   
6. Do not punish desirable behavior. Such as having your puppy eliminate outside and then immediately leaving the puppy. If the puppy wants to be with you, you will have just punished the pup for doing the right behavior.

dog training tips

Every dog possesses an individual personality and temperament along with inherited characteristics. Basic temperament and breed characteristics can't be changed, but through training they can be redirected and channeled into desirable behaviors.

While training, you always want to keep the three P's in mind: Practice, Praise, and Patience. Whenever you are interacting with your dog you are training. More than likely you are doing one of the following. Praise (reinforcement), Ignoring, or Correcting (PIC). Don't ignore or correct good behavior. Do not attend only to bad behavior. Do not praise or reinforce bad behavior.
