| Its Me or The Dog |
1. Keep training. Owners often think that once a dog is trained, there is no need to carry on. But your dog never stops
learning, and training should be reinforced throughout your pet's life. 2. Think dog. Take time to think about how your dog perceives the world, and use this knowledge to make training easier.
3. Exercise your dog. A tired dog is a happy dog. Ensure, however, that the exercise is appropriate for your dog's age
and breed. 4. To feel secure, all dogs need a calm, confident leader. Effective leadership isn't about dominating your dog and making
him submissive toward you. It's about being a teacher and building his confidence. You can achieve that by encouraging and
rewarding good behavior. 5. Look at your dog's diet, and see how you can improve it. You are what you eat, and the same is true for your dog. Many
behavior and medical problems can be attributed to poor diet, so make sure your dog is eating the very best. 6. Sign up for an activity that you both enjoy, such as an agility class, flyball, heel to music, etc. Dogs get bored easily,
so get yours out and moving. 7. Get your dog microchipped, if you haven't already. Also, don't forget his yearly checkup with the veterinarian. 8. Keep playing. One of the best ways to bond with your dog is to play games that you both enjoy. Play is a great stress
reliever for both dog and human. 9. Keep your dog safe. Don't leave your dog alone in a car or tied up outside a shop. Dog theft is on the rise, so be careful. 10. Have fun and enjoy your dog. A dog should never be a burden. If you take the time to train your dog, you'll give him
the tools he needs to live successfully in a human world.Victoria's training tips:
Victoria Stilwell's 4 Tips for Raising a Well-Behaved Dog
1. Consider life from his point of view. "We can't
expect dogs to know that it's not socially acceptable to grab food off the dinner table," says Stilwell. "Yet we still punish
for bad behavior without first teaching them what's right and what's wrong."
2. Don't dominate—cooperate.
It's better to prevent misconduct (using positive reinforcement) than to punish it, says Stilwell. Teach your dog that good
things come from good conduct, and he'll choose to behave.
3. Find out what motivates your dog to learn. It's
a myth that dogs respond only to food—they could also want toys, praise, or attention. Vary the rewards to keep him
engaged.
4. But don't neglect discipline. If your dog misbehaves, ignore him (for example, turn your back when
he's jumping on you), give him a short time-out in another room, or redirect his energy toward something more positive, like
a toy.
