Giving Commands

Think about and agree upon the commands that you will use for any given situation. Give clear and consistent commands. Try not to chop and change or deviate from the chosen command, as doing so will create confusion and prolong the learning process.

The dog will learn from your body language, your tone of voice and the repetition of the command in a given situation. Learning will be accelerated by giving rewards and praise for the correct behaviour.

When giving praise be exuberant and enthusiastic with good eye contact. When showing displeasure, change your voice to a lower more stern tone and give a short sharp command as appropriate to the situation such as NO! or DOWN! give little eye contact and ignore the dog immediately after the incident.

Corrections to behaviour should be given at the time or within 20 to 30 seconds of the incident as dogs have short memories and will think that your pleasure/displeasure applies to the immediate situation upon which it is focused. Dogs live in the moment.

First Steps in Dog Training

As a responsible dog owner you will want to have a well mannered dog. In order to achieve this you have to teach your dog how to behave. You need to understand a little about the dogs instinctive behaviours and also how your own behaviour affects your dog.

On the whole, dogs are eager to please. The behaviour that they display is usually the behaviour we have taught them or allowed them to develop, sometimes inadvertantly. Good behaviour takes time, repetition and therefore patience to develop. Good behaviour should be rewarded with praise and treats such as a small sliver of cheese or a healthy dog treat.

Never shout at or hit your dog out of anger when it misbehaves. The only result will be to make your dog afraid of you. You need to gain your dogs trust so you should remain calm and try to be understanding. It will get better.

Wagging fingers or pointing at a dog whilst chastising will be interpreted as an invitation to play and not the meaning you intend. Rather than chastising your dog, be proactive and re-direct your dog by giving a command such as "heel" or "sit" as appropriate. You can then reward the correct action reinforcing good behaviour.

It is important that you get off to a good start with your training from the beginning. This is true for your puppy dog or an older dog. Obtaining good guidance from the start will be well worthwhile.
