Negative reinforcement is an absolute no-no when it comes to teaching your dog not to dig. You must remember it is instinctual for a dog to dig.

Dog Training Tips - What Is There To Learn

by Craig Vic

Do you feel like your dog is the “boss” and you are just there for the sake of being there? I am certain that you are not the only one. Inside your home, it is your dog’s sofa, chair, bed (located in your bedroom), not your own, and if you attempt to get this area back, you may receive a snarl for this.

If your dog makes you feel helpless because of disobeying you then you need some first rate dog training tips and this is the right path to take to make the relationship between you and your dog more rewarding.

Some children take longer to obey and the same goes for dogs. Dogs that are bred for hunting purposes and dogs bred for herding even though very intelligent may be a little harder to train to live inside. Just remember most dogs will get away with what you let them.

If a dog demands control by the way he is acting or he is in charge of a specific area of the home and being dominant, the truth is that we have allowed the dog to be this way. Something that dogs notice immediately, since they are pack animals is their place in their surroundings. Within a pack, someone has to be the boss or “alpha dog”.

If you don’t take this “alpha” position, then your dog will take over this position. Even when you make an attempt to teach your dog it is necessary that you show confidence and body language that definitely lets your dog know that you are the boss, or your dog won’t think of you this way.

Under no means should you become abusive or aggressive with your dog, but you do need to follow a few training tips which will allow you to successfully correct your pets behavior. These tips may seem awkward at first, but they will work if you follow them. Your pet will become an enjoyable companion and not an aggressive beast. Firstly, during training time, you must use a proper tone of voice.

When you start the training process the first thing to remember is to keep a firm (again not angry) tone of voice and keep your voice in the neutral range. Make sure your not yelling and on the other end of the spectrum make sure your not using your “baby” voice either. This lets the dog know that you are the “Alpha” and not vice versa. The dog should follow your lead meaning you do something first and then he follows you.

Coming in the house, going out of the house, or strolling in the middle of two parked cars should always be done by you first and your dog has to walk in back of you all the time. Mealtime should be an activity that you can use to show you are in charge - you are the first one to eat, and after this you dog eats. You should begin playing with your dog first as well as do anything else first. This won’t be easy in the beginning but it will assist you to have a more enjoyable time with your dog in the future.
