For many people training their dog is not something that comes naturally. We don't all instantly understand what it takes to teach a dog to obey us. But it is important as dog owners that we do develop that skill – because an untrained dog can be a real problem. An untrained dog will naturally try to challenge for leadership of 'the pack, they can rebel and cause problems, such dogs can not be trusted around children and people visiting the home. There is no real option, dogs need to be trained. Which is why we put together these dog training tips for you. Dog Training Tips • Reward. Dogs work best with positive reinforcement – so always praise and reward your dog when he or she does something right. • It takes a dog time to learn what a command means – so always try to be consistent in your command giving. • Consistency. Consistency is key to training dogs. Not just consistency of commands but be consistent in the behaviour you reward and punish or otherwise the dog will get confused over what he or she is meant to do. • The person you want the dog to see as the master should always be the one doing the obedience training. • Test and train the new commands in different environments. A dog might grasp it in the garden with just the two of you but they need to do it when it is contrary to what they want to do too. • Dogs don't manage to understand what they did before, so never punish them for something you didn't catch them doing red handed. Obviously there are many more dog training tips than that, but these should give you a good grounding in what it takes to train a dog.
