We all know people who are great at training their dogs and sometimes even their cats, but good advice is sometimes hard to
come by.
I have put this together to show you that training a dog is fun and quite simple as well. Take your time and don't think
because this is simple advice it is not relevant because it is.
Don't be too hard on your dog tho as he is your best friend too.
1. Set some rules immediately and stick to them.
2. Keep out of situations that promote inappropriate behavior.
3. Always observe your dog and provide what it needs to be cared for and attended to.
4. Supervise your dog diligently through undivided individual attention and training, and restrict them to a limited area of the house until training is complete.
5. Encourage good behavior with praise and attention always.
6. Correct bad behaviors instantly by providing positive alternatives. (A toy for a slipper, scratching post for the sofa.)
7. Never physically punish or force compliance to commands. This is always bad and may lead to fear biting or aggression.
8. Don't play rough or encourage aggression or play at biting.
9. Expose your dog to many people, animals, and environments where you want them to live.
10. See your veterinarian if a serious or unresolved behavior problems persist.
These rules will help you get the most from your dog as quickly as possible.
Above all love your dog and he/she will love you back. Bad behavior can sometimes be stopped just as it begins but you need
to be hard but fair. Dog training classes may be the answer if your dog is getting out of hand.
Ask people who have trained dogs before for their help and advice. It might be a good idea to go to dog forums on the
internet as well. Lots of dog articles and advice can be had there too.
Whatever you decide good luck in training your dog or dogs.
Training a dog should be an enjoyable and easy task both for you and your dog, but things can be different in Basset Hound training. It is because Basset Hounds, just like any other hounds, are extremely hard to train. They tend not to obey commands given to them because as scent hounds they prefer to follow what their noses tell them. Low desire to please its owner is another reason why a basset hound is hard to train.
When it comes to dog training, especially obedience training, a Basset hound is less likely to be chosen by most dog owners and trainers because of its characteristics towards training. However, it is not impossible to train a Basset hound if you really want to. Some have been successful in training their Basset hounds but only a few of them. Patience, together with your great love for your Basset hound is essential in order to have a well behaved dog.
Training tips are just few clicks away when searching a web and you can also learn through seminars from dog experts. But the best method in Basset Hound training is to know and listen to your dog. Discover what exercise or activity your dog enjoys and start your way from there. Let him understand that training is fun! Be artistic and create fun and exciting training methods and as much as possible, vary it from time to time so as not to bore them. Limit the training session to only 10-20 minutes. Slowing down and showing resistance to work is an indication that he has become bored or he doesn't like your training method.
Using training tools such as crate and rewards are ideal partner in every training session. Most Basset hounds obey command when offered reward, but will forget the training when reward is being offered. To do away with this, hide the reward from the dog before giving a command. Show him the reward only until he has complied with the command so as to come up with a Basset hound who follows command with or without the presence of a reward. The point here is to give him the idea that you may have a reward for him even if he can not see it.
It is also important to know the right time to start training. Making mistakes in the beginning of the training may delay the process and may not guarantee better results. Begin the training with something he enjoys so that he will be convinced to do it. Avoid being harsh and force your dog to do something which you think he doesn't like. Consistency and determination is much more helpful.
With these tips, you will surely be able to come up with nicely trained dog. You can now aim higher levels of training such as obedience and agility training, and prove others that it is not impossible to train these stubborn four legged friends.
