8 Dog Training Tips For Dog Lovers



Recommended Answer:
How well does he follow commands like "sit", "stay", "down", or "drop"? You can't expect your dog to learn fancy tricks unless you've established a good relationship with him and know that he'll obey you on the basics. There's also not a "really easy" way. Any behavior conditioning takes time and patience. People who are successful at teaching their dogs new things quickly usually accomplish this because they know their dogs really well. They understand what motivates the dog and what rewards are most valuable to him. Sorry, but books, videos, and/or trainers are the way to go. If you can't even take the time to watch a 2 minute youtube video, how do you expect to successfully train a dog?

It'll probably take a couple of days for him to truly grasp the specific behavior you want from him and to associate it with a visual or verbal cue. You need to be consistent and most of all patient. Training sessions shouldn't last any more then 10-12 minutes, and you need to make sure each session ends on a positive note. So if he just doesn't get it, you have to hide your frustration and have him do something easy that he can be rewarded on. This is keep training fun and exciting for him and prevent it from becoming a punishment.

  • I will try to explain how we were taught to teach our Golden to roll over....it's easier to say than to type...lol.

    When he is in a Down position , face him and have a treat in your hand. Have the treat in front of his nose , and move it over towards his shoulder. His head will follow your hand with the treat. Keep moving your hand over his back , so that his head follows the treat and he rolls over. While you are doing this, say " Roll Over " . When he does it, praise him and give him the treat. Continue until he has caught on.

    I haven't taught Beg, but I think if you had him in a sit position, take a treat and raise it above his head so he has to stand on his hind legs to reach it. Tell him the command you want ( " Beg " , I guess ) and reward him when he does it :)

  • If ur dog is young, then try this (this is wat I did!)
    get a treat, show he/she the treat, then tell it to lie down if it knows that trick,
    and then GENTLY roll he/she over and say "roll over" and give him/her the treat!
    Repeat this a few times and he/she should catch on! :) Xxo

  • Beg: get a treat and and put it above your dogs head to where he sits but keep going back until he tries to beg. keep doing this. it took me 2 weeks to train my golden retriever:)
    Roll over: have him learn lay down. then push him to where he rolls on his side. have a treat and tempt him to get it while you help him rotate. he will soon get the hang of it and you dont have to help him turn. GoOd lUcK:)

  • Put your dog in those positions saying the command. Once they are in position, give him/her heavy praise and sometimes a treat.

    MOST IMPORTANT Give him/her short two minutes lesson five or six times a day.
