Dog Obedience Tips For The Busy Dog Owner

By:


Training your dog to be obedient is absolutely essential if you want to have a happy relationship with your pet. Unfortunately, with the best intentions in the world the majority of us struggle to find the time to master basic dog obedience tips. A lack of time and commitment is the number one reason why your dog doesn't comply with your training methods.

Of course there are many other factors that result in your dog not knowing what you want from him. It is actually very common for your dog to obey a command from you a number of times and then, just because you have varied the command slightly, will totally ignore you. This is because a command has to be exactly the same each time you deliver it. For instance, if you use hand signals as well as a vocal command, your dog may not recognise one without the other.

There is also a common scenario where your dog will follow all your commands such as 'sit' 'heel' or 'stay' perfectly well in your front room or garden but as soon as you take him to the park he totally ignores you. Changing your surroundings can thoroughly confuse a dog. For this reason it is a good idea to practice dog obedience tips in a wide variety of surroundings, always with plenty of rewards and praise.

Sometimes your dog may not respond to you for other reasons such as being tired or is in pain or discomfort. Care has to be taken to ensure you only work on your dog obedience tips for short periods of time to avoid any discomfort. Training should always be associated with fun and pleasure. If you ever find yourself becoming frustrated, as we all do at times, take a break and resume the next day.

Dog obedience tips are always easier to deliver if you know exactly how to perform the basic commands. When reading a book it can be difficult to know how to position your body and what tone of voice to use. Watching an instructional DVD or film can be a better option until you are confident that you are performing the commands correctly.

Whatever medium you use to teach your dog the basic commands to become an obedient, well behaved friend ensure you always remain calm and constant to avoid frightening or confusing your pet. By teaching your pet basic dog obedience tips you are ensuring both your dogs and your safety and ensuring some pleasant, relaxing walks with a friend who is always pleasant to be with.
