5 Ways to Train Your Dog at Home

The newly bought dog is disobedient, bites things and urinates everywhere. This should be the most troublesome thing for dog owners. The following methods can easily solve these troubles without spend money to expensive pet training centers - train them at home.

1. Recognition of name

The first step in training a dog is to let the dog identify with its name and let it know its name. The method is as follows: after the pet arrives home, repeatedly call your dog’s name, and when it looks at you, give the dog a reward. The reward can be food and petting. If your pet ignores you or doesn't respond when you call your dog’s name, you can attract it with toys and something that can attract its attention. When it turns its attention to you, give it award at this time.

2. Appropriate compliment

When training a dog, although the dog can't understand your language, the dog can understand your tone. A happy tone can let the dog know that he has done something you like. At this time, it will be very effective to cooperate with the reward. It is worth noting that when giving a dog a reward, it is to give the reward immediately when the dog does the right thing, otherwise the dog will not understand why there is a reward. Some people will encounter times when the dog is not interested in the rewarded food.

3. With gestures and words

When training your dog to do something, be sure to use the same words and gestures. Words and gestures must be simple, concise, and clear. Remember not to use complex gestures and long-sentence words. If you want to train your dog to sit, give the command 'sit' as short as possible while he is sitting. This makes it easier for your dog to form concepts.

4. Proper blame

When you notice your dog is doing something wrong, let its realize right away with a serious tone. If you don't stop it right away, stop blaming it, because the dog won't know what you're mad at. For example, if your dog is rummaging through the litter, you must reprimand it immediately. If you see that it has already rummaged through the litter and then reprimand it later, it will only think that what it is doing now is wrong, and will not think that it is wrong to turn over the garbage.

5. Master the training time

Dog training time should not be too long, too long will cause inattention, so the effect and effectiveness of training will be greatly reduced. You can take small, frequent meals to shorten the training time and increase the number of training sessions. For example, if you train for 30 minutes a day, change it to training twice a day for 15 minutes each time. It will have better effect.
