Giving Praise
Dogs need constant encouragement when they being trained. Food snacks, toys, and physical contact and verbal praise from their owners are all strong rewards. Every time your dog obeys a command, praise it to let it know that you are pleased. Your dog will soon understand simple praise like “good dog”.
The Important of Toys
Puppies chew objects in order to learn about their environment: By providing a dog with toys you can insure that, even in your absence, your dog can stimulates its mind and senses without resorting to destructive behavior.
Rewarding Toys
The best toys have their own unique smells and are unlikely any other thing that the dog might find. Balls and Frisbees are excellent for chasing, catching, and retrieving, bones are more satisfying to chew.
Too Many Toys
Encourage your dogs to chew its own specific toys to prevent it damaging household goods. If a dog is given too many toys, it may think that it can chew anything. Allow a maximum of three toys that are not like any other household item. Don’t give your dog old clothes or shoes to play with. If your dog is allowed to chew these items, it will assume to chew any other articles of clothing. Dog cannot distinguish between old items and new ones.
Choosing Treats
Find out which snacks your dog likes best and give these special treats as rewards for good behavior. However, don’t over stimulate your dog by using too many food treats, and never give your dog sweets.
Unplanned Rewards
Scavenging for tit bits can become a habit if rewarded, albeit unintentionally, with success. Stop this problem from developing by securing all rubbish and keeping tempting item out of reach. In this quest for food items, your dog may swallow damaging, inedible objects.
Correct Discipline
Newer use physical punishment to discipline your dog. Instead, give it an unpleasant surprise as soon as you see it misbehaving. A small squirt from a water pistol or spray gun will do the trick, or a blast from a high-pitched alarm.
Good Timing
Reprimand your dog only when you actually observe it being disobedient. Displaying anger after the event will just confuse the dog, because it will not understand why you are angry. In appropriate and undermine your correct disciplinary tactics. You can learn to anticipate your dogs’ behavior by observing its body language.
Reducing Rewards
Initially, it will be most effective to combine food rewards with verbal praise. After a while, however, gradually reduce the amount of food rewards while continuing to give either physical or verbal praise. The dog will soon learn to respond to verbal praise alone. Note that small breeds are often more selective eaters than large ones, so they may not respond well to food rewards at any stage.
