Book Description
Are you ready to start training your dog or puppy? Proper training and socialization are among your dog's basic needs. It's important to start training your dog as soon as possible.At first, dog training can seem pretty overwhelming, especially if this is your first dog. The truth is that training your dog is a very big project. If you take it step by step, you will find the task to be far less daunting. Here is some information to help get you started: There are responsibilities to having a dog as a family member. You need to ensure that he gets proper health care. You need to make sure that you feed him quality nutrition. You also need to help him understand how to live with humans and, specifically, how to live with your family as a good companion. As much of an affinity as most dogs have for humans, they are not born knowing how to live with us. Dogs are a different species than humans, and they come with their own species-specific behaviors. These behaviors can often clash with our human expectations of proper behavior.As you were growing up, you were taught life skills by adults. Some of those adults may have been better teachers than others, but you grew up learning how to behave in the home and out in public. What was acceptable in your environment may have differed slightly from what was acceptable in your neighbor's environment, but, in general, you learned basic good-citizen skills. Now, you need to teach similar skills to your dog.Your dog doesn't inherently know that he's not supposed to pee on your carpet or jump on you and knock you over. He doesn't have a manual explaining that he can't chew on your favorite shoes or the bed skirt. He has no clue what an "indoor voice" is. He also doesn't realize that he can't just run up and get in another dog's face or dig in your neighbor's prized rose garden. You need to teach him all of these things, and you can! Part of being a responsible pet parent is teaching your dog good family manners, cleaning up after him when you're out in public, and ensuring he that isn't a public nuisance. By training your dog using reward-based, positive methods, you are fulfilling these responsibilities.Here is a preview of what you will learn...Understanding dog behavior & SocializationBasic rules for successful dog trainingHouse train your dog in daysTeach Your Puppy 8 New CommandsUsing a Cage in Dog TrainingUsing a Clicker in dog trainingusing crate in dog trainingCommon mistakes in dog TrainingBehavior Problemsand much, much more....So, to change your dog from a rowdy, uncontrollable mutt into an outstanding member of your family without days of struggle then you need a guide.If you can say sit you can teach your dog to sit!If you want to raise your dog to be a loving, well-behaved companion, then click "Add to Cart" now!
