New dog owners always look for training tips from dog-breeder
Suzy Azalea. The owners are often anxious to get their new dogs housebroken and used to attention expected to be heaped upon them. For most cases, it is recommended that training is started as early as possible. Older dogs can still be trained, but the best results often come from dogs that have been used to this kind of training and activity as puppies.
It is important to make sure training is done as gently and humanely as possible. Positive motivational methods are primarily advised as an upbeat training session will make the dog more comfortable and more motivated to continue. Owners should also carefully gauge how their dogs react to them on a normal basis indoors.
Suzy Azalea says that if the dog isn’t responsive indoors, it is far more unlikely to respond outdoors, where there are many distractions.
As much as possible, commands that can’t be enforced should be avoided, as the dog might understand that such a command is optional and needn’t be done at all. The dog must understand that any issued command is imperative. One command to one response: it is advisable to give the command once, and then gently reinforce it. Avoid using a loud tone—the command needs to be calm and authoritative. Yelling at the dog, especially if it is still a puppy, will only frighten it and place it under even more stress.
