You can train your dog much more successfully by not using treats and not giving him commands that he has heard before. Some unusual commands can be highly effective. A dog will often respond much better to a new command than to an old one, or even to a treat.
I have used the following methods with enormous success: To get my dog to come home I use the word “please” instead of “come”, and I add some body language like a slight nod of my head for example. I have also added some verbal cues such as when we go out for walks, I say, “we’re going now” and give him a slight tug on his collar. He knows it is time to go when I say those words.
I have found that when training a dog, it is important not to talk in familiar tones.
I will be talking about ways to train your dog that are not based on treats. I will also mention a couple of “treat tricks” that can make training easier when you are just starting out.
I found this amazing complimentary on the internet workshop on dog training from the K9 Training Institute that you enroll in today.
This is the first workshop of its kind. It was developed to help “regular” dogs like yours have the exact same level of obedience.
The workshop was a full revelation for me and helped me understand why so many owners have so much trouble training their dogs..
Offering Your Dog, a Task to Do
One of many points I gained from the workshop, is the largest mistake that most pet dog owners make with their dogs, is that they do not offer their canines work to do.
The factor service dogs are so mannerly is that they constantly have work to do.
Now, by “task” or “job”, I don’t say that a service pet is always doing something physical in nature.
” My owner has currently offered me the work of relaxing. So, I will stay resting below in this exact spot till my proprietor informs me to do something else, since the work that my owner desires me to do for her now is to lie down.”
So, unlike most “normal” pet dogs who think about DOWN as a trick that they need to do for a couple of secs after which they can do whatever they seem like, solution canines consider DOWN as a major job that they concern dedication, commitment, and purpose till they get their following job from their owner.
As you can picture, it’s a various state of mind!
And this state of mind is the reason service pet dogs are so well-behaved, and so many “typical” dogs (even if they understand cues like DOWN or SIT) are not.
How to Train Your Pet to Have the Exact same Frame of mind as a Solution Dog
Fortunately, is that you can educate your pet to have the very same mindset as a service dog also.
That’s where K9 Training Institute’s free on-line workshop comes in.
It’s being conducted by Dr. Alexa Diaz (among the leading service dog instructors in the U.S.), and Eric Presnall (host of the hit Animal World television program “That Let the Dogs Out”).
Frankly, the strategies described in the workshop are revolutionary – I haven’t seen anyone else talk of these strategies.
This is because it’s the first time ever before (at least that I understand of) that anyone has disclosed the secret strategies used by the solution canine training market to educate solution pets.
The pointers shared in this complimentary workshop work with ALL pet dog types – from tiny types like Pomeranians and Chihuahuas to huge breeds like English Mastiffs and Great Danes.
Likewise, young puppies as young as 6 weeks old, and untrained grown-up canines as old as 13 years, have been trained making use of these methods.
It’s not a live workshop – instead, it’s a pre-recorded workshop, which implies that you can view it at your benefit.
But, while the workshop is cost-free, I am not sure whether it’s going to be on the internet for as well long, so please check it out as soon as you can.
Training a dog is certainly the hardest part of owning a dog
Training a dog is certainly the hardest part of owning a dog. It can be very frustrating having a dog that is not housebroken, or barks excessively, or keeps pulling on the leash during your walks, or doesn’t respond whenever it’s called, or jumps up on people, etc.
You’ll be fed up, because it’s pretty exhausting to keep trying to make them listen. You’ll wonder how professional dog trainers help dogs behave exactly the way they (the trainers) want them to.
But hiring a trainer can be quite expensive, and to be honest, you don’t really need to.
I’ll explain how in a minute. First, let me talk about WHY your dog seems to be so hard to train…
The reason you are having so much difficulty training your dog is that you’ve been doing dog training the outdated way.
It’s not your fault though. The fault really lies with all the bad dog training information that’s out there on the Internet and elsewhere.
Most people start training their dogs using verbal cues
Most people start training their dogs using verbal cues or commands like SIT, STAY, etc. Because that’s what they have been taught to do by numerous books on dog training and by all the videos they’ve seen on the Internet.
Here’s the problem – that’s exactly how NOT to train a dog!
Why?
Because the science of animal behavior says that starting your training using verbal cues sets your dog up for failure.
Dogs that are trained only using verbal cues never get trained properly. Or at least, the training doesn’t last long.
So, what’s the best way to train a dog?
The science is very clear on this – dogs are best trained by using body language. Now, this doesn’t mean that you should never use verbal cues. What it means is that you should always START your dog’s training using body language. Later on, you can bring in a verbal cue to reinforce your dog’s training.
The workshop is designed to help “normal” dogs like yours have the same level of calmness, obedience and impulse control as service dogs.
It’s being conducted by Dr. Alexa Diaz (one of the top service dog trainers in the U.S.) and Eric Presnall (host of the hit Animal Planet TV show “Who Let the Dogs Out”).
Frankly, the techniques described in the workshop are fairly groundbreaking – I haven’t seen anyone else talk of these techniques.
This is because it’s the first time ever (at least that I know of) that anyone has revealed the secret techniques used by the service dog training industry to train service dogs.
How to train your dog using body language, rather than verbal cues
The 3 key techniques that service dog trainers use to train dogs, and how you can use them too
The most important step that “normal” dog owners have been missing (this is very important to get your dog’s attention, and it works 100% of the time)
How to stop bad behaviors like excessive barking, pulling on the leash, jumping, etc.
Why a lot of dog owners are unable to establish the amazing bond that service dog trainers have with their dogs
etc.
The tips shared in this free workshop work on ALL dog breeds – from small breeds like Pomeranians and Chihuahuas to large breeds like English Mastiffs and Great Danes.
Also, puppies as young as 6 weeks old, and previously untrained adult dogs as old as 13 years, have been successfully trained using these techniques.
It’s not a live workshop – rather, it’s a pre-recorded workshop, which means that you can watch it at your convenience.
However, while the workshop is free, I am not sure whether it’s going to be online for too long, so please check it out as soon as you can.
