One Guaranteed Way to Train Your Pet!
Your pet is wonderful in so many ways. I feel like anyone who has a pet probably has some sort of special feeling for it. I want to tell you how you can effectively train your pet without bringing a wedge in the relationship. Your pet is the most loyal living being that you will probably ever encounter.
One of the most important things for you to understand is, the commands and rules must be constant. We tend to get upset with our animals because they stop being obedient after a certain period of time.
If you decide to buy some sort of pet training DVD or hire a professional dog trainer, the key is being consistent. When your dog understands what the rules are he or she will gladly follow them.
The true key in training your animal, specifically your dog, is training yourself. When you give certain commmands to your dog, keep your tone constant. For example, when you are telling Spot to sit while you are in a good mood, don’t change it from when you are in a bad mood. Do not let it go from “O sit baby” to “SIT YOU STUPID DOG!!!
Your dog is clueless to why you are yelling at them in this situation. Although they carry this great love and respect for you, they are now becoming frustrated and uneasy.
As much as we hold conversations with our pet, they really can’t understand our dialouge. The only thing they really understand is tones and sounds. This is why being consistent with the tone of your commands is important. I think it is a good idea to talk to your pet, they know when you are loving on them.
Be sure that when you are deciding to be serious about having a well trained pet that it all starts with you. If you get into the habit of saying “sit sit sit” don’t expect your pet to sit on that first one, you are training them that if you do not say it three times, you really don’t mean it.
Be sure to understand that you must train yourself to be consistent! No matter what route you want to take in training your dog if you stay consistent they will continue to be that great extended part of your family!
