The socialization period is the most suitable time for bonding between you and your dog. During a puppy's socialization stage, it learns by experience and can easily learn to foster relationships with both humans and its fellow dogs. A puppy learns new behaviors during the socialization stage that helps it learn its master's needs.
Don't make the mistake of waiting till your dog grows up a bit before you start training them because grown up dogs are usually hard to train. Puppies that aren't trained before they get to a particular age may not be pliable to training. You need to make sure that you start training your puppy at the right time to prevent frustrations.
Some dog lovers will be outraged to find out that you were hitting your dog. Sometimes, hitting your dog may make it become even more rebellious. Physically abusing your dog in the name of correcting can make it slink away in fear anytime it sees you.
You need to understand that the mind of a dog is linear if you want to train it successfully. A dog can understand a string of commands in one setting but may have to be reeducated with the same string of commands in another setting. A dog that obeys a sit command at home may be confused when you order it to sit in a park because of the change of location.
The note with which you end a training session with your dog counts. If you end a training session with your dog as an unhappy or vexed note, it will be less than enthusiastic for the next day's training. When the training session finishes up on a good note, your dog is bound to look forward to the next day.
Your hands should be an integral part of training your dog. Dogs are skilled at reading body language and can easily understand any signal you send to them using your body. Non-verbal gestures are excellent dog training communication modes.
Some dog owners may be concerned about teaching dogs tricks to entertain people. Other dog owners may be more concerned with teaching a dog how to lead blind people. The reason a dog owner trains a dog varies from person to person.
Training your dog not to bark at the wrong time is also part of a dog's training. A dog that barks at the wrong time can be a source of embarrassment to the family. Dog training is a process that helps you as much as it helps your dog.
