The dog that you have just adopted may seem less like Lassie, and more like Cujo. There is hope! You can train aggressive or naughty behaviors out of your dog.
When you are working on crate training with your new dog or puppy, always take steps to let them know it’s their home. You should place the food bowl inside the crate and leave the door of the crate open while they eat their food. This creates a positive association between good food and their new crate.
Buy chew toys so that your puppy can deal with painful teething. Give it one of his toys instead. A frozen washcloth can provide teething relief for your pup.
If you want your dog to follow the rules, keep training it, it needs to be refreshed! Often dog owners will stop enforcing the rules that their dog learned in their training courses. You can encourage your dog to adopt good habits. Dogs, much like kids, do best when they have limits and rules.
Shock collars are not a good idea. They often don’t function as well as advertised and are far more expensive than conventional training methods. Also, shock collars and like devices are just not nice things to use. This kind of approach often ends in disaster.
Understand that getting your dog to respond during the times that you tell him or her ‘no’ is not helpful. Training must be a positive experience for your dog. Telling them “no” does not help them know how to react to you. Every dog and every situation is different. This means that their training must be tailored accordingly.
It is not uncommon for dog owners to express surprise at the simplicity of weaving puppy training efforts into daily life, and how fast they achieve great outcomes. If you feel like you and your dog are having a hard time, try some of this advice.
