Dog Training - How to Train Your Dog in 15 Minutes - Is it Possible?



Recommended Answer:
Dogs respond to your voice, petting and encouragement if not more than treats. Take your time with them who knows what they have been thru if they were put in a shelter to begin with. Puppy classes, education books, DVDs etc will help as well. I love Cesar Milan he is a wealth of information.

Dog Training - The First Steps in Training a Dog


  • You can train your dog in a place where there are no distractions and noises so your dog can focus his attention to you. since the dog is still young, its attention span may not be long enough so it is good to keep the training in intervals. I strongly suggest that you watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIY88BQIZ… as it can help you in how to train your dog properly and at the most effective way possible. hope my advice helps!

  • Find some one to help you. You can't go wrong by enrolling is a good obedience class. You can work to find another motivator besides food. Some dogs enjoy playing with a toy, praise, a fun release etc. Use your imagination. You should not need an e-collar with proper training. If there isn't a class in your area, you can go to your local library and check out some training books, dvds or videos.

  • Sign up for obedience school; it's great fun and you can profit from the experience of the trainers as well as your classmates.

    Also, every public library has a couple of books on how to train dogs; start studying.

  • Some dogs aren't food motivated, they can be toy motivated or praise motivated. It's really a matter of getting to know your new puppy. I would suggest looking for an obedience school to sign up for. :)

  • Look it up, good for you not getting a shock collar, they are cruel.
