Important Dog Training Tips


A good dog-training session can actually establish a good owner-dog relationship that is based on mutual trust and respect. A happy, well-trained dog is a dog that a responsible dog owner is confident of and has control of in any circumstances.

The most important of puppy dog training tips involves training your little new friend to be housebroken. It is essential that you do not use violence or scold a puppy during housebreaking. You should only scold the young dog with a loud, firm "No!" when you catch him about to soil the rug. Warning signs include sniffing and circling a certain area, as well as actually squatting in preparation of the dirty deed. The puppy must be brought to the designated toilet spot and praised each time he uses it correctly. Clean up any toilet accidents so that the puppy isn't drawn to its scent at a subsequent time.

Maybe you're not feeding him enough, or maybe your dog just likes the taste of your furniture. Getting your dog to stop chewing up the sofa isn't mission impossible. There are plenty of dog training tips that can help you. Your dog's chewing habits may be indicative of emotional problems. Teething puppies can also have chewing problems. You can provide specific chew toys to alleviate discomfort or boredom. If you need to leave your dog unattended, confine it to an enclosed but safe space. You can further dog- or puppy-proof items at home by coating objects with a foul-tasting but non-toxic (of course) substance. Aversion therapy is usually successful.

For obedience training, keep training sessions short and simple. Don't issue long or complicated commands because these can only confuse the dog. Remember to use positive reinforcement and repetition to enforce the learning process. Never use force to reprimand a dog.

So, yes, it's possible to get your puppy to stop pooping on your rug. With the right training, you can also stop your dog from destroying your furniture!

At the end of this article, I'd like to share cool websites with more tips on topics like dog training tips and how to train a dog. Visit for more information.

"My name is Sydney. I'm a 5 year old Cocker Spaniel. I love to sleep! Sleeping is my favorite hobby. I have two younger sisters, Bebe (Maltese) and Baby Suki (Maltese). I like to play with them, but only for a short time, then I go lay down on the couch and take a nap. As lazy as I am I can't resist walkies though! I'm a cuddler, I love to lay on your lap and nap. "
