Newly brought home dogs don't understand anything, not knowing how to eat or where to go to the bathroom. So, if you want your dog to integrate faster and better into our life, you must train the dog. However, some owners are not very familiar with dog training. Don't worry, today the Petszone editor will talk about the precautions for dog training. Let's take a look at what they are.

To help dogs understand and remember, training commands are best short and clearly pronounced sentences, and should not be repeated excessively.

In addition, the same command should be delivered with different tones depending on the dog's temperament. For example, for the command "sit," dogs with nervous personalities should be commanded gently or cheerfully, while lively and active dogs should be commanded loudly and firmly. Owners should choose different command methods based on their dog's personality.

When the dog is about to do something wrong, it should be stopped loudly and decisively. If you reprimand it afterward, the dog won't understand why and will continue doing those "wrong" things.

More seriously, if the dog is frequently scolded for no apparent reason, it will gradually lose trust in its owner and stop obeying commands.

If a dog often avoids, barks at, or even destroys something it dislikes, patience is needed first. Never be impatient. Let the dog slowly approach what it dislikes while constantly speaking to it gently to calm it down.

If you hit or scold the dog at this time, it will only cause it to avoid it further. Also, raising a dog by keeping it away from things or places it dislikes only increases the owner's troubles and leaves the problem unsolved.

Using corporal punishment to force dogs to obey is unacceptable. From the dog's perspective, being hit or kicked for no reason only causes the impression of "being abused." If the owner is very powerful, the dog may obey out of fear, but dogs raised in such environments have extreme insecurity and sometimes may attack weaker children or elderly people, even causing biting incidents.

Training should be based on the principle of "teaching through play," frequently praising and stroking the dog to let it understand the owner's happy mood, and complete training through play. But praise should be limited to when the dog's actions are correct. Without principled praise, the dog becomes confused and doesn't know when it will be praised, making key training difficult to proceed.

Dog training requires continuity and should not be limited by time, so we need to constantly review it for them, training can also be conducted during daily life activities such as walks, meals, and meeting guests, which helps to deepen memory better.

The above are the precautions for dog training. Hopefully, this can help everyone. The editor reminds pet owners to be patient during training and never hit or scold the dog.
