Some useful tips on Dog training

Here Are Some Tips on Dog Training


Dog training doesnt mean you have to take your dog to some expensive dog training school. Dog training can be done by you in your own house and backyard. Dog training isnt difficult if you follow some basic guidelines.


Your dog wants to make you happy. That is how most dogs are, especially puppies. This means that the most important part of dog training is that you have to praise them when they do something right. Dog training is all about rewards and praise. It is not about getting angry at the dog or yelling. Dogs do not learn from negative reinforcement.

Dont go to fast and try to introduce to many things into your dog training to fast. Only do one new command a week, but work on it daily. With dog training the dog isnt going to master it immediately. It takes repetition and patience. Even after they get the command, keep working on it even after you start a new one. Dont let them forget what they have alread learned. Again, dont start a new one until the old one is mastered.



Here are some of the basics of dog training so you can get an idea of where to start your dog training. The first thing most people want to teach in dog training is sit. Start by saying sit in a slightly louder and more authoritative manner than normal while pushing the dog into the sit position. As soon as the dog sits give it a treat and praise. Dont forget, dog training is about praise and rewards. That is how the dog will know it is doing what you want it to do.

That is the basics of what they will teach you at dog training school, but charge you lots of money. Dog training is easiest with a very young puppy who doesnt have any bad habits. When you are doing it with an older dog then the dog training becomes much more difficult, so start early.

Cool new stuff and some updates

Check out the awesome new bed I picked up at the Loyal Biscuit for Jenny.

It is actually a Molly Mutt dog duvet. You buy the cover and stuff it with whatever you have lying around, old clothes ripped blankets, whatever works for you. Then zip it up and Ta Da! A new bed.

I love it.

On another note Jennys skin is in a holding pattern. We are using some homeopathic remedies to keep the itching at bay. (Topically: colloidal oatmeal rinses, and a lavender and olive oil rub) We are still working on the right blend of her other remedy. I started a blog of her skin photos to make it easier for me to remember what we are doing each day and to keep more accurate track of her progress. My memory isnt always the best so this works well. It is also helpful for her homeopathic vet to be able to see what is happening with her. Anyone interested can check it out here, Jennys Skin Blog.

Ive also started the trainers discussion group on facebook I mentioned before. It is called The Positive K9 Network. It is open for all dog trainers who are interested in learning more about positive training methods, even those who are currently using traditional training methods. I felt there was a gap for people looking to crossover into positive training and I wanted to do something to fill that gap. Yes it is a group to promote positive methods, but it is also a group to help educate trainers without judgement. We all started somewhere and we always have more to learn. The groups motto is "Evolution through Education". It is open to professional trainers and dog owners who compete in dog sports/obedience. If you are an average owner with questions about basic training or behavior this isnt the group for you. (but keep looking because there are groups for that out there) To join simply look us up and put in a request. My goal is for the group to be a resource for all trainers looking to improve their training skills (myself included!) and to help interested traditional trainers cross over out of force training methods. So far we have a great group of people in the team. Fingers crossed for our continued success.

One is geared more towards female humans, and the other - for anyone, pets too (you can get a fun charm for your dog or cat to wear on their collar). After all, it is really all about our pets, isn’t it?
