HOW TO 

Tags: dog, training, tips, how to, easy, quick, help, puppy

Some quick tips on how to train your new puppy:

1.	Be Consistent. Dogs learn from repetition, the more often they are exposed to something the quicker they will learn it.
2.	Never make a dog come to you for discipline. No dog is perfect, and they will all do things we don't like. NEVER use the command come if you need to discipline your dog. ALWAYS go to them.
3.	NEVER hit your dog. They will learn to fear you, not respect you as the pack leader.
4.	Always reward a positive outcome. If they do something right reward them for doing it right. Not always with a treat. Sometimes a "good dog" is just as effective.
5.	Get the whole family involved. Everyone should be so the dog understands their position in the pack.
6.	Do not dismiss dominant behavior. Dogs are pack animals. If they feel they have dominance over another member of the household they will exploit it, and you will develop more severe Dog Behavior Problems.
7.	Be patient. Training takes time.
8.	Be basic. Don't start off with fancy tricks and advanced commands. Remember to start with the basics.
9.	Be careful. Of gimmicks and untested so called "free dog training packages". Good or bad, learning to train you dog correctly may cost you some money for a book or program.
10.	Remember you can do it yourself.
