Who doesn't enjoy the joy and company a dog can provide? It can be tough work when you bring home a puppy. This new puppy has to be trained! Use the tricks written here and you will surely be able to train your dog easily.

To ensure you succeed in training your dog, you should make sure they are active in life. Dogs are not sedentary animals by nature. Running, playing and constructive exercise are all essential components of their health and happiness. Register for agility classes, run with your dog, and teach him or her to play Frisbee to increase activity levels. Do not allow your dog to be bored. Make sure he or she stays as active as possible.

If you use a leash to train your pet, you must ensure that it remains loose rather than taut. This gives your dog the option to explore and walk around freely. Your dog might pull on their leash. Informed owners avoid this behavior by leaving a bit of slack when walking.

Every person in your family should know the same commands you use when training your dog. If you dog barks loudly and you tell him to "be quiet" but your kids say "stop barking" your dog will be confused. If the family can be consistent about commands, training will go easier.

Generous rewards are a key part of training. If you give your dog some treats at the proper time, they will respond to training. If you don't do it at the correct time, the dog may become confused about the reward.

Make sure your training environment is set up to motivate and reward your dog. Reward your dog often when it obeys your training commands. Punishment will get the point across, but only when it is needed and the dog can understand what he or she is being punished for. If they don't understand, it may be interpreted as abuse, rather than discipline.

To keep your dog compliant with his training, be sure to continue the process well after he has performed the way that you have hoped. One of the most common mistakes pet owners make is assuming that once training has been completed, no maintenance is required thereafter. However, pets and humans share similar habit systems. Therefore it is very important to maintain a good set of rules for your dog.

To teach a young dog to behave while walking on a leash, start by initiating some good-natured playing. As you play, you can then place the collar on his neck. Your puppy should feel comfortable in it for walks but also for identification.

You can teach your dog to ring a bell when he wants to go outside. Hang a bell from your door and jingle it every time you bring them out, and eventually they will learn to do it on their own. Dogs are quite smart, so they will realize the connection before long and start ringing the bell themselves.

By this point, you should be beyond excited at the prospect of working more closely with your beloved pet. Remain patient and reward your pet when he behaves properly. It takes time, but the reward of an obedient pet is well worth the wait.
