A Professionals Secrets Of Potty Train Puppies

Before you start any dog or puppy training program, concentrate on the end result you’re after, rather than what you don’t want. When you begin each training session, create a picture in your minds eye of the goal you’re aiming for, and picture it having already happened. Steer your thoughts away from the actions and behavior that you want to avoid.

If you don’t know where you’re going, how can you get there? This applies to pretty much everything we do every day of our lives, and it applies to basic dog house training too

It’s a natural emotion to concentrate on the things we don’t want in our lives. And it seems to be a wide spread phenomenon with dog training too. We sure don’t want the dog to urinate on the furniture, or to chew the sofa, or ignore us when we tell him what to do, or howl like a wolf when our sweet old aunt comes to visit.

Contemplate this for a minute. Lets imagine you’re about to pick up a new puppy. Would you actually relish the thought of relinquishing the next ten to sixteen years chasing your dog telling him off for things you didn’t want him to do? Isn’t it easier and more satisfying to teach your dog correct behavior from the beginning?

So rather than worrying about, “I don’t want my dog to chew the corners of my carpet,” try, “I will encourage him to play with his toys.” Instead of, “I hate it when the dog harasses and jumps up on people who visit the house,” how about, “My dog should greet and welcome my guests controlled and quietly.”

By focusing on the positive aspects of your training goals, it’ll be much easier to attain your desired training goals. What better way to start your training program.

Is Rewarding Your Dog Good Practice?

Probably the best thing that has happened in house breaking puppy in the past few years is the shift from emphasizing correction, or punishment, to emphasizing rewards.

Rewarding a dog is a very effective training technique especially for potty training tricks. Perhaps the most important reason is that when you punish your dog, for whatever reason, the consequences could be very demoralizing for both of you. Punishment can make a dog feel threatened when she might respond with aggression to being overly punished. Other dogs shut down. They lose their sparkle. Some may simply curl up and shy away all the time.

Using rewards training methods also makes you feel good. It’s nice to be a source of praise and treats, instead of a constant disciplinarian.

But the best news is that this approach to dog obedience training works extremely well. It’s due to the fact that this approach to behavior training builds confidence and reassurance. As soon as she discovers that rewards come for a particular action of behavior, your dog will associate one with the other and learn to repeat the behavior when called upon. When you learn how to apply that simple rule, you will be able to use this method for pretty much any training goal you want to achieve.
