With many years of experience with dogs, you might observe that your pets listen to your command. With few daily exercises, you will notice more improvement. But once in a while, your dog goes back to its old habits and does not listen to you. These times could be very frustrating. There will come a point that you will think that you had just got lucky in making your pet follow. There is a reason not to feel bad because there is a science on how to train your dogs. All you need is determination and a little patience.
Apply the Science
First, you have to posses the right attitude in training dogs. As mentioned before, training requires patience. You will not accomplish anything if you keep on complaining. The dog will sense this and act oddly in the process.
With your mind set on the training, bring some of your favorite dog treats. These treats are the tools you will use in getting the attention of your dog. It is better if the treats are in little pieces. Large pieces are hard to chew and will make your pet more aggressive.
Closely place one treat near the dog’s nose. Make sure to have a firm grip on the treat while saying with a clear tone, “Sit.” You will not expect the dog to get it at the first try. You have to illustrate the proper “sit” position. You do not do the “sit” position yourself expecting your pet to mirror you. They are not that smart to understand that. Instead, give your pet’s rear end a little push downwards while keeping a firm grip on the leash.
Once the dog listens to your command, reward it immediately with a treat. Praise it as needed. Repeat the command and allow it to do the same trick. Do the same steps until the dog masters it. Stop giving treats once you feel that the dog is comfortable with the trick. Now, that is how to train your dog to sit.
It’s about Communication
You should remember that they are also sensitive to loud sounds such as when nagging and shouting. These dogs also get scared. If you are frustrated with your dog, you rest and try again later or some other time. To punish the pet, a simple “No!” is enough. (Learn more by clicking here.)
On the other hand, do not spoil your dogs with many treats. This practice is not healthy for your pet and could be costly on your part.
The training could be exhausting for you and your pet, rest once in a while. Once both your body and your dog adapts with the routine, you can teach you pet new voice commands. Other fun-to-do commands are “stay”, “down”, and “stand.” Schedule your trainings in intervals to discourage fatigue.
At all times, it is important for you to be gentle with your pet. When pushing its leg behind, apply only enough pressure to the legs, use of powerful force will injure it.
