dog training Opinion

Hold off on food treats until you really need them.As a result, it can be frustrating to repeat the same command over and over, only to have the dog apparently ignore you. As important is what he is not doing! In a sit dogs can't chase cats, knock over furniture, run into the street.In really hard cases, kneel nd put the leash loop under one foot and slide it under the knee of the opposite leg, facing at a slight angle to the dog. We can wsh it were so but it's not and never will be! Though the average grown dog has a mental development someplace approximately on the level of a human two year old, there are more deviations than there are similarities. But a nearly equal number will underestimate the time, skill and elbow grease it takes to do it as it needs to be done - Especially if they are a new dog owner and have bought a high energy breed when they should have gone for a lower energy submissive type. Pull the leash loop with your foot, sliding it over your leg. Wait for a movement from standing or sitting to down. Try to be away from other voices.With a treat or toy, face the dog and place it above his head and slightly behind the forehead, but still visible. Never reward until the behavior is complete - Also don't become tense or angry after failure.Lets get one thing carved in stone right away - Dogs are not hairy fluffy kids.If the dog backs up do the technique near the couch or a fence where he has nowhere to go. The latter they do only when they have no choice. Don't be harsh, but don't give up easily either. Praise and reward anyway, even though you had to 'force' the sit. To start take advantage of spontaneous behavior. Just dont EVER do it. There are alternate explanations for their behavior. Dogs can be amazing at understanding spoken communication. Associate a unique hand signal and tone with the command.Patience and commitment is key to training any behavior.Dogs, like humans, much more readily follow those they trust than those they fear.At first the dog will have no idea why it's being praised but it doesn't matter as with repetition the behavior will follow the command.As a last resort, for the stubborn or slow learner, give the command and at the same time push gently on the back near the tail as you lift his chin. The result is often a common catalogue of errors that can be, with more or less effort, headed off before they begin. "Site" the dog then move the treat to the ground just in front of the nose. With repetition comes understanding. Minimize noise and movement distractions during the training session. It's easy to use physical punishment as the first route of correcting a dog's behavior.Fortunately,"Down" is usually easy to train. But they don't reason out or get context the way humans do.It also has practical benefits. You want the dog to associate the position with good feelings - his and yours. Take special care with young hips - don't force a completely uncooperative dog this way. When the behavior is complete, praise lavishly. It also leads to behaviors like 'rollover' and 'crawl'. Every behavior should be associated with a unique hand gesture that you don't otherwise use. Dog Training - How NOT To Train Your DogJust about every dog owner truly wants

Wikipedia on dog training tips

The dog ( Canis lupus familiaris ) is a domesticated subspecies of the wolf, a mammal of the Canidae family of the order Carnivora. The term encompasses both feral and pet varieties and is also sometimes used to describe wild canids of other subspecies or species. The domestic dog has been one of the most widely kept working and companion animals in human history, as well as being a food source in some cultures. There are estimated to be 400 million dogs in the world.

The dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds. Height measured to the withers ranges from a few inches in the Chihuahua to a few feet in the Irish Wolfhound; color varies from white through grays (usually called blue ) to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark ("red" or "chocolate") in a wide variation of patterns; and, coats can be very short to many centimeters long, from coarse hair to something akin to wool, straight or curly, or smooth.
