Basics of dog training

It is important that good relations are established between you and very early. Good training enhances your relationship with your dog.

Puppy training:
The best way to train your puppy is for you to do it yourself by buying software and books that give you guidance. I can recommend this site where you can get quality e-books i.e. dog-training. It helps owners train their puppies in a relatively short period of time. However, in case you can’t do that, then puppy classes are the best for you. It will help you teach your dog how to obey simple commands and establish control. Let your vet help you. Choose a trainer who has a cleaner premises and uses positive techniques.

Basic discipline:
These are some techniques to keep in mind.
Remember that dogs have a short memory so be patient when training them.
Correct your puppy when it displays bad behaviour, praise when it’s right.
Be consistent in what you say and do.
Never resort to physical punishment.
