?How does your dog sit when you tell him to and mine doesn?t?? ?How can your dog heel to you like that?? ?Wow! He comes when you tell him to? Sound familiar? If it does you need to invest some time into a little bit of basic dog training. Starting to train your dog from a young age is crucial as the first few months of his life is when you will have the greatest influence on him; this is where he is shaped into the dog he is going to be when he is all grown up.

The most basic of dog training is to get your dog to sit and come. Teaching him those commands are essential for him to learn. These commands are used for various different reasons, if you are in competition, if your dog jumps making him sit will immediately get him off and come is the all important one. If you take your dog for a walk you let him of the leash and you expect him to come back to you, not run around the park with you chasing after him shouting at him to ?get here right this instance? that would be just down right embarrassing!

To teach your dog how to come requires only the most basic of techniques but a lot of repetition. The simplest way to get him to come is have a toy in one hand and a treat in the other, when you are in the house simply walk away from him hold out the toy and excitingly call him to you, when he comes over give him a treat, always use the command for come that you are going to use in the future.

Getting him to sit could be a slight bit harder but again only requires basic dog training. When you have mastered the come command call him to you, place your hand on the end of his back and say sit while gently pushing down on his backside, when he sits his bottom down give him a treat and a lot of praise. If you want him to sit longer just delay giving him the treat and the praise, get him to sit but take your time bending down to him and feeding him his titbit.

Basic dog training is simple and very effective. It should also be fun for you and your dog, it doesn?t have to be hours and hours each day just maybe 5 minutes or so, don?t forget to reward your dog and yourself for all the ?hard? work though!!

Bad behaviour in dogs can consist of many problems. Does he bark all night long keep you from sleeping? Are you afraid he is going to keep biting? Does he chew everything except his toys? If the answer to any of these questions are yes you need to invest some time into a little bit of dog behaviour training. A little training will go a long way.
#break#
Dogs that bark can be extremely irritating but the main thing is not to loose your cool, if you shout at him he will try to shout louder than you. Try and find out the cause of his barking. Is he barking because he is afraid? Is he happy? Is there someone out there? If you can?t find the reason for the barking then he is doing it because he doesn?t know it is wrong to bark all the time.

A biting dog is maybe one of the more serious behaviour problems, especially now that the laws are tightened and any dog that bites someone is more than likely to get put down. Teaching your dog not to bite is one of the most important teachings you can give him. This is where you have to be firm and stick to your guns. When playing with a young dog they will automatically nip and gnaw at your hand this is because when dogs play together they play with their mouths.
#break#
When teaching your dog not to bite stroke him with one hand while offering something which is acceptable to be bitten with the other hand, something like a chew toy or a raw hide treat. Your dog will soon realise that hands aren?t there for biting. This process has to be done repeatedly for it to take effect.

Dog behaviour training is simple enough for the experienced dog lover but when it comes to beginners all the help available is needed. Accept help from friends and family and maybe even enrol in a dog behaviour training class, this will help you to meet other people, having the same problems with their dogs that you are with yours. You are not alone when it comes to having trouble with dog behaviour problems every dog will get them its just a matter of how you fix them.

When scolding your dog for doing the toilet on the carpet remember that we were once young and did not use the proper toilet either. Your dog needs to be house trained, and this can be done in a few easy steps, but over a long period of time.

Dog house training may be one of the hardest training techniques as it is the one that requires the most attentiveness and work. You have to be able to read your dog?s body signals as he can?t tell you when he needs the toilet. Many people make the mistake of assuming that their dog will bark when he needs the loo, sometimes they are lucky to find a dog that will but believe me there are many out there who don?t and accidents are found all over the house!
#break#
Dog house training requires a few simple steps as I said but they are time consuming ones. Firstly I would recommend putting newspaper in front of the door, that way if you see him doing an accident in the house you can quickly life him there and he will realise that if he needs to go and your not there to let him he has to do it on paper.
#break#
The next thing you need to know when dog house training is most dogs when they need the toilet will start to get restless and stat sniffing around, this is when you pick them up and take them outside, when they are really young you should take him outside at least once every hour.
#break#
There are hundreds of books available on dog house training all of which use different techniques and routines. No dog is going to know straight away that outside is the place to do the toilet, they have to learn and you have to teach them (unless you don?t mind accidents all over the place) Oh and don?t forget to scoop!!

Getting frustrated that your dog jumps up on people when your visiting friends? Can?t understand why your dog runs away from you at the park while everyone else?s happily comes back? The simple answer is have you tried dog obedience training. It is simple, effective and very fun to do if you have the right attitude and patience.
#break#
The basics of dog obedience training and teaching your dog to sit, stay and come. These basic training commands will be extremely beneficial to you later on in your dog?s life. When you take your dog out you don?t want him to be running muck in the street, you want to show him off for the perfect dog that he is! Dog obedience training can be achieved in a matter of weeks with the right attention, dedication and patience.
#break#
There are a lot of obedience classes available so if you cant teach your dog by yourself there is plenty support at the class, there are also other dogs there to so not only are you training your do you are socialising him to which of course is the next step after sit, stay and come. Dogs are kind of like children to an extent, except with a lot of fur, they need to be taught right and wrong.
#break#
I always find that treats are a great method of dog obedience training; you award them with a special treat when they have done something you have asked them to. If they don?t respond they don?t get a treat. There is no point shouting at your dog as he will only become scared of you and you don?t want that, you want to form a happy relationship with him. Dog?s are a man?s best friend!
#break#
When teaching you dog obedience try and teach him away from distractions like his toys, take him to an empty field or park where there aren?t any people, only you and him. Tell him firmly but nicely that you want him to sit, then take your hand and place it on his back and gently guide his bottom down, when it is down say sit and tell him he?s a good boy then award him with a treat.
#break#
Repeating this over and over again will make him realise that when you say sit you mean for him to sit and he gets rewarded, soon enough he will just now to sit when you tell him to and the treats are no longer necessary.
#break#
Getting him to stay in another matter, you?ll probably need another person for that. Get him to sit (once he has learned how) and get a friend to hold him. Walk away from him telling him to stay, using your hand hold it up firmly (doing this will make him realise that when you hold your hand up in the future you want him to stay as well, not just when you tell him to) then give it a few seconds and let your friend release him, when he comes to you make him sit and tell him how clever he is!

When dogs are born they are like soft clay, they need to be moulded and shaped. You can teach your dog from any age and the younger you start the easier it is. Like they say you cant teach an old dog new tricks!!!
