Below you will see some of the main rules for getting your dog to obey and understand your commands within the quickest time period.
Rule 1. When your dog does as you ask, you should praise and reward them for doing so. However, if they do not, then you need to correct them immediately as this will help them to understand where they have gone wrong. Unfortunately a dogs concentration span is not that long and if you fail to correct any problems immediately then they will simply carry on.
Rule 2. The concentration level on a dog is very much limited, they take time to put up new commands. The best thing to do when teach obedience training is repeat your commands over and over.
Rule 3. Make sure you provide feedback whatever the outcome when teaching your dog new commands, this will let the dog no whats acceptable and what is not.
Rule 4. Be realistic when teaching new obedience skills not all dogs are the same, some are going to take longer to pick up the commands. What you should never do is punish your dog if they are wrong in the initial stages.

Rule 6. Start off slow when teaching you dog new commands, because this is all new to them it will take time. Teach your dog new trick and techniques one at a time, this will save confusion and able the dog to learn faster.
Rule 7. Do not just train your dog at training sessions its a good idea to teach them in their everyday tasks. One example of this would be to give them their food on command, hold back and make them sit before they eat.
Rule 8. You should never attempt to correct your dog if they are not in the wrong. It is important that if your dog does wrong then correct them by grabbing their attention.
