The Sure Fire Way to Train Any Pet!
Pets are terrific in all sorts of ways. Most pet owners love there pets as family. We will discuss a way to bring you and your pet closer even while training. Remember your pet is extremely loyal to you and your family.
The number one rule you must know as an owner is, the rules and commands have to be consistent. Most pet owners don’t understand why their pets start off obedient and soon after become non responsive.
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 truth is when you train your dog, you must first train yourself. Every command you give your pet has to have a constant tone. Do not change the commands according to your moods. It is not beneficial to one minute say “lay down boy” and the next minute “LAY DOWN YOU STUPID MUTT!!!”.
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.
I know we all love to talk with our animals, but the fact is they really do not understand English or any other language. Our pets understand tones and sounds. This is why they are able to understand commands when done consistently. Trust me I am not telling you not to talk to your animals. I actually think it is probably healthy for your relationship with them, because as I said before, they understand sounds and know when you are showing them love by how you sound when you communicate.
Once you make up your mind you want a well trained pet, remember it all starts with training yorself first. Never begin the habit of repeating commands, or they will be less effective. For example if you say “down down down” your pet will think if you do not say it three times you are not serious.
The main objective of this article was to get you to understand consistency is key! However you decide to go about training, stick with it and you and your pet will be happy as ever!
