Many pet owners may feel disappointment once they have finished picking out their new puppy or shelter dog to take home. Usually, this is because of behavior problems that they can't seem to control and they have no idea where to start.
There are several common characteristics that do work, not only is repetition training required, but positive reinforcement together with consistency in communication with the pet is crucial. Once they have started learning and understand, they are going to rewarded for good behavior, they will want to please you by meeting your expectations.
In the Kingdom of Pets, there's an "Alpha" leader in pack animals, including dogs, coyotes, or wolves. This Alpha leader controls what the rest of the pack does, and a dog's instinct makes them strive for this position. By being a consistent owner who exercises control over the dog, the pet will soon view you as the "Alpha" of the pack. You must first gain the animal's respect and obedience.
The first key is communicating with the dog in a consistent manner. For example, if you don't want him getting on the couch, don't ever let him remain on the couch. If you happen to give in and allow the dog to sit on the couch, even once, the pet will constantly test to check out if you will let them do it again, and you will have unknowingly reinforced bad behavior by giving in. In a household where there are many family members, it is important that everyone enforces the pet's rules.
The next key is positive reinforcement. By using a reward if the dog has performed like you commanded, he will come to want to get the reward or treat, whether it's just telling him, "good boy" or perhaps a doggie snack. Daily training sessions of 15 minutes is usually the effective way to train, as a dog may get bored owing to the sessions of longer duration.
The third key is never use punishment to train the dog as it's ineffective, unless it is at the exact moment the animal is performing the undesired behavior, not after. For example, by the time a dog has urinated on your floor, and you rub his nose inside it, his mind has already moved to something else, and he does not understand what you are attempting to tell him, don't do it in this spot? Smell it when done? What does he really mean?
By using positive actions to correct bad behavior, he will associate that with what he is supposed to do to get a treat. So instead of punishment, after he urinates on the floor, tell him no, after that take him outside until he goes again, take him in, praise him and also give him a treat. He will get to where he may want to go outside and many times not urinate, so you need to be sure to only give him a good treat when he does.
In summary, it is easy to train your dog, once you did establish yourself as his "Alpha", and learned to communicate by utilizing positive reinforcement and not punishment. It is easy to be able to have your dog to behave and be a fun addition to your home.
