How to Train a Dog

Are you thinking of adding a new dog to your life? Would you like your current dog to be better behaved? These tips are a good start to train your dog.

The Dog and Your Lifestyle

While there’s probably a dog to suit every lifestyle, not all dogs will fit your specific needs. For example, if you like to relax, you should not get a Jack Russell Terrier. They have high energy.

Naming the Dog

He needs to be able to learn his name easily, so you can hold his attention during training. The name should also have clear, hard sounds the dog can recognize. Names such as “Buddy” or “Rover” or “Bee Bee” are easy for dogs to learn.

Training and Rewards

You must spend enough time to teach your dog new things. Dogs learn fast. You must praise or reward your dog within two seconds. Your dog must be hungry before the training so it will be interested in eating the tasty reward and learn what you are trying to teach.
