90 Tips and tricks to help train your dog

Basic Dog Training

1. Concentrate on what your dog is doing right. Professional dog trainers everywhere
tell their students to reward their dogs when they do something right. This “positive
training” method is in contrast to training that centers on punishment. Trainers
recommend that owners praise and reward their dogs with treats and affection for
good behavior instead of just scolding them for bad behavior.

2. Be proactive and keep your dog from behaving badly in the first place. One of the
most important tips that a professional dog trainer will tell his or her students is that
good behavior is not just the responsibility of the dog. The owner must make every
effort to avoid giving the dog the ability to engage in bad behavior while they are still
learning the ropes. For example, if you notice that your dog likes to chew, it’s
important to make sure that everyone in the home puts their shoes behind closed
closet doors to remove temptation.

3. Stop saying NO! One of the biggest mistakes that people make when training their
dogs are saying NO without giving the dog an explanation of some type. Dogs, much
like children, will become confused with a simple command of NO! Here’s what you
should do instead. If your dog is stealing the cat’s food, tell him NO and then gently
guide him to his own food dish. Or, if your dog is chewing on a table leg tell him NO
and give him rawhide or another toy on which he can chew. Once your dog begins to
actually use the new behavior, reward him with treats, toys, and praise.

Most people love animals and it is the preference of the person which type of pet is ideal for his or her own home. This could be a fish that is in an aquarium that has to be fed and the tank cleaned at least once a week. Cats are one of the cleanest animals around since by nature, they have the ability to clean themselves without any assistance. Even if that is the case, it does not prevent these pets from soiling the apartment or the house so the cat has to be trained through the use of a litter box. Choosing the right litter box for the cat will really depend on the size of the cat that is inside one’s home.
