Dog Training: The Basic Pointers

dog training is not difficult

Get to grips: dog training should not be difficult but it needs consistency

Proper dog training techniques are key to transforming an adorable puppy into an obedient, well behaved dog everyone will enjoy. Dogs, like children, need to be taught the rules and respect for authority – of their owners and peers.

Many pet owners fall head-over-heels in love with the cute face they see at the breeders, only to become disillusioned and ultimately frustrated because that lovely bundle of fun and fluff does something like chewing up the furniture or making mess on the carpet.

While every puppy is bound to cause its share of trouble, the dog owner who grasps his or her responsibility will give over the time and patience needed to raise that puppy into a good dog. This snippet aims to provide some dog training pointers to get you started on developing a happy relationship with your new best friend.

Lay Down The Rules

Every journey begins with the first step. The first step here in dog training is establishing the rules!.The sooner this is done, the more successful you will find you are.

If you don’t want a 70lb Golden Retriever hopping onto your bed at night, do not let it do it when it is a 10lb puppy.

The dog owner who grasps his or her responsibility will give over the time and patience needed to raise that puppy into a good dog. TO FIND OUT HOW CLICK HERE!

It’s never too early to start teaching your puppy to keep off the furniture or to avoid jumping up at guests.

Indeed, even before you have brought your puppy home, it’s a good idea to make sure everyone in the family understands and is ready to enforce the rules that your dog will be expected to follow.

Maintaining That Consistency

With the rules set, it’s up to you to remain consistent  when enforcing them. Each time your puppy breaks a rule, he or she should be reprimanded with a sharp “No!”. This applies to every aspect of training your dog, whether it be house breaking or stopping the chewing of shoes.

Like children, dogs learn quickest when they are enforced without fail. However, be prepared because consistency takes time and lots of patience on your part. But, with good, consistent dog training from the outset you will save time, effort – and your valuable shoes!

The Value of Positive Rewards

When your dog follows the rules, it’s important to reward for good behaviour. To be effective dog training employs positive reinforcement much more than punishment.

From the outset of the process, rewards may include edible treats. But as your puppy learns, rewards can progress to simple praise and positive attention.

With positive reinforcement applied consistently, your puppy will soon gather that it’s to his or her benefit to listen and obey.

Dog training is not difficult, but it takes time, patience and consistency to produce the desired results. The prize is that you will discover that the time put in is worth the effort because you will end up with a dog who is obedient and enjoyable to all.

    CDPOM/ Celebrate Pets are a great bunch of people. They have been looking after our cat for just about every period away from home for the last five years, from single days to a couple of weeks. They are really great with him and no extra seems too large for them from watering the plants to putting the bins out. We always get a text from them so that we know visits have started and comprehensive reports on what he's been like when we're away. Cannot recommend highly enough, completely reliable and they love our cat. What more could you want?

    As a customer for over 7 years and a regular traveller, I have been delighted with the service provided in looking after my home and pets. Easy and simple booking and payment process, prompt responses, and never a problem to arrange care for my cats even at very short notice. I have complete confidence in leaving my home and pets in their hands. They keep me updated while I'm away and even put a pint of milk in the fridge if I'm away for more than a few days.

    We are so pleased we found CDPOM as our cat, Lucy, was so distressed in the cattery. We have been using their services for several years now and have always found them extremely reliable and we are always confident that Lucy is in safe hands. From their reports, she seems to enjoy their visits and always looks well and happy when we return home. In addition, they always ensure that the house is left secure and how we left it. We would highly recommend them.

    Louise and all the team at CDPOM have been amazing. I have used them for many years to look after my dog and the team obviously love the animals. They have helped me out at short notice and also kept Molly for longer when I've been delayed. Louise also house sits which give me peace of mind that someone is around when I'm away and less stressful on Molly. Thanks again and cant recommend highly enough.

    So reliable, I would highly recommend Louise and her Cat visiting service. Going away can be quite stressful with cats, as they don't like the disruption of being moved elsewhere, or having strangers in the house. After trying a few things, I realised home visits is really the best way. It was hard to find a reliable service at first, after a few issues in the past, so CDPOM was a godsend. Louise has been looking after my cats for over 10 years, and she has removed the stress out of travelling, as I know my cat will be in good hands with her. Thanks Louise!
