7 Keys to Dog Training Common Behavior Problems
Tip #1. NEVER PUNISH YOUR DOG FOR COMING WHEN
CALLED: NEVER chastise your dog for running away when he
returns. He does not understand that he’s being punished
for having run away - he thinks he’s being punished for
having returned!
Tip #2. NEVER GIVE ATTENTION TO BAD BEHAVIOR: When
your dog misbehaves do not reward the behavior by giving
attention to him. Ignore him when he begs. If your dog pulls you in
one direction - simply turn around and walk in the opposite
direction. Most importantly, find your pup doing correct behaviors
and immediately lavish him with praise and reward.
Tip #3. NEVER YELL AT YOUR DOG TO STOP BARKING:
When you yell at your dog when he is barking “Stop that! What’s
the matter with you?” etc. – he thinks you are joining in his
‘barking game’. What should you do? Turn him in a different
direction – tell him “No.” - then reward him when he stops.
Tip #4. ALWAYS END DOG TRAINING SESSIONS WITH
SUCCESS: If you are having a difficult dog training session do
not end the session with anything but success. Have your dog
perform something he is already good at doing - and that he
enjoys doing - – then reward his success! It’s important that your
dog view his dog training sessions as fun and as a way he will
succeed at pleasing you.
Tip #5. DO NOT USE PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT AS A TRAINING
METHOD: Reward works better than punishment. Period. Set
your dog up for success - then *immediately* reward and praise!
Remember that positive reinforcement has a snowballing effect:
the more you reward good behavior, the more it occurs, the more
opportunity you have to reward it ...
Tip #6. NEVER COMBINE “NO!” WITH “COME” OR HIS
NAME: Never combine the correction “NO!” with your dog’s name
or with the come command. This will completely confuse your
pup. And never use the 'come' command unless you CAN enforce
it. (In other words until you dog has 100% recall - do NOT use the
come command off leash!)
Tip #7. REMEMBER: “PATIENCE, PERSISTENCE, AND
CONSISTENCE” ARE THE SECRET KEYS TO DOG TRAINING:
Because these truly are the components of *all* successful dog
training programs.
