Training Tips
Dogs love and respond well to structure and naturally follow rules.
You must clearly teach them what the rules are.
- Your dog must see you as the leader.
- Be consistent, calm and patient. To control your dog you must control yourself.
- Rewards must be valuable to the dog and under your control.
- Set up rules and boundaries in your home and stick to them. Integrate training into daily routine.
- Walk dog daily & properly.
- Never call your dog to you and then punish.
- Don't allow your dog to ignore a command.
- Don't nag or confuse your dog.
- Wrestling and Tug of War play with a dog may establish unwanted dominant behaviors.
- New dog or puppy? - set goals BEFORE you bring dog home and enforce immediately.
- Training sessions should be planned, short and fun! Know what you want to achieve and quit while you're ahead.
ALL DOGS - ALL AGES - ALL THE TIME!
