Points to note when training your dog

Dogs will be able to manage their behavior better in various and new situations through dog training.

An important point to take note of when training your dog is the dog's understanding that its owner, that is you, is its leader and not the other way around. Dogs naturally lived in the wild in packs and obey those who fulfill their needs and who show dominance.So, to make your dog understand that you are its leader, you provide its food and keep control of it say by giving your dog its food twice a day.

Training your dog requires time, commitment and patience. Repetition is key to training your dog. You must give commands with confidence to ensure your dog understands and obeys. A dog can detect if you are uncertain. Dogs see things in black and white while humans see things in shades of gray. So a command like "Sit" and "Sit down" would not mean the same thing to a dog.

Positive reinforcement is a good method in training your dog. It is done by rewarding the dog with treats, praise or even both when the dog fulfills a command properly. The dog will begin to associate its positive behavior with positive treatment.
