BASIC BEHAVIOR TIPS

I wanted to give you a bit of free advice, and just some things that I have learned throughout the years. On this page there is series of things to remember as you go to train your dog. I would definitely bookmark this page, and feel free to come back to it anytime.

• Keep the training sessions short (2 to 4 minutes)
• Have a goal of what you want to accomplish before the training session, and when you achieve the goal, end the training session. End the session on a positive note.
• Make sure you understand why the animal did the behavior incorrectly. It normally is for one two reasons. Either the animal is confused or the animal is testing you.
• After the training session it is a great idea to do something fun with your dog. Play with your dog with a ball or a toy or anything he likes.
• Remember that all dogs are different and are going to be trained and will learn at different speeds. Take your time and be patient.
• Make sure you are consistent, and make sure that eveyone is giving the animal the same cue.
• Most importantly, make training fun for both you and your dog.
