It is often said by elders that dogs are the smartest animals. From ancient times to the present, dogs have lived with humans for a long time. Dogs are not only pets but also the most loyal companions of humans, having a special bond with people. Humans have been training dogs for a long time, and there are many training methods. So, what are the dog training methods? Let's discuss it together!

First, dog training must begin when the dog is still a puppy. One dog year equals seven human years, so the puppy stage is only a few months old. Compared with adult dogs, young dogs are easier to train. Therefore, some relatively simple training commands can be introduced during puppyhood. Additionally, starting training early helps prevent the development of bad habits. If unwanted habits appear, you must strictly and promptly require the dog to correct them.

Training must progress from easy to difficult. You cannot suddenly ask a dog to do very difficult actions, as dogs will not accept it and it may have the opposite effect. Also, dog training should not be complicated. When giving training commands, each command must be given clearly one by one, without issuing many commands in succession. Otherwise, the dog will be confused and not understand what you want it to do, resulting in the dog learning nothing. Also, the same commands should be practiced daily. When the dog completes a command, be sure to hug and reward the dog so that it leaves a deep impression.

Before training your dog, you must give it a name that belongs to it. Only then will the dog know you are calling it when you give commands, and it will complete instructions well. Dogs are very sensitive to their own names.

When training, use simple and easy-to-remember commands. Always use the same gestures and never use different commands. Dogs are simple animals and only recognize one thing clearly.

When the dog makes mistakes, you must strictly punish it. Do not let it think that being wrong is acceptable. Corrections must be strict, but when punishing, let the dog feel that you care and love it. Don’t let it feel that you dislike it. Finally, I hope every dog can become especially smart.
