House Training Dog – Dog Training and Puppy Training

People admire a dog as pet as well as a faithful companion but without any kind of training what so ever, a dog will behave just like an animal unless he is taught by someone, his owner. All the dog owners must house train their dogs as no one would appreciate his or her pet doing business inside their house. Proper housekeeping training is to be given to a dog with which he understands when and where he has to eliminate. Dogs must be taught the rules of the house if the owner wants to make his life easier and less worried with his dog. Besides that a house trained dog is less likely to create any trouble for the owner and other people in the surroundings.
Many animals including dogs do not usually eliminate at places where they sleep unless they are confined to that place for longer periods. Dog owner should make the best use of this natural habit of his pet and utilize in order to benefit from it. If the dog is under 12 weeks old, it is best to house train him by starting crate training. A crate is similar to a cage with a front door made of bars. These are made not to punish or confine a pet for long but they are utilized for making the dog understand what a house is like. A crate might be considered as a bedroom for the dog with just enough space inside so that the dog can stand turn around and even play with his toys. Remember not to confine your dog in a crate for more than an hour or two.
Dogs love to follow people specially their owners and if you will not train him which way is the way out, he might follow you in your bathroom as he has no idea what you want from him. For example you are getting late to go outside to take your dog for a walk and you want to get dressed but your dog keeps following you instead going outside and waiting for you there.
The solution to this problem is to always use the same door to take your dog outside. Make sure you never allow him to use other doors for exiting. This is a very basic yet very important dog house training technique that always works as dogs love to follow rules as they are pack animals in which each member is assigned a role to perform. This is something that they have by birth, you just need to work on it a little more according to your house rules and settings.
During house training, many dog owners do not praise or reward their dogs whenever they obey and follow commands. Although it is not necessary to do this all the time. But it helps a lot during the training periods as the dog knows what he is doing correctly for getting all the love and affection and some treat as well. This technique is very essential and you will notice a considerable improvement in your dog behavior once you continue to reward him for his obedience.
People ask when is the best time to train a dog for your house. The best time to train a dog of any age is NOW. Many dog owners are lazy when it comes to house train a dog as this neglected behavior will soon be causing more problems for both the owners and he dog.

Tips on How to Stop Your Puppy From Barking

To stop a dog from barking it is best to start with your puppy and to stop the puppy barking before it becomes a real problem and harder to solve. Many things cause a puppy barking as we have addressed elsewhere. You should decide just how much barking you do want and at what. Mold your puppy’s behavior toward this goal.
For instance, perhaps you wish your puppy to announce visitors. First decide what words you will use to acknowledge your puppy barking at visitors or more precisely, to announce your visitors. Perhaps it could be a simple “Who’s there?” or “Who is it? phrase. Whatever you choose, as with all things in puppy training, remain consistent and train your family to use the exact same phrase as well.
Your visitor approaches the house and your puppy begins barking. Allow your puppy to bark a few times. You say, “Who’s there?” and acknowledge your visitor. Now you must distract your puppy if he continues to bark. As soon as he stops barking, you should praise him so he knows that now is the right time to stop barking. That’s the key – to be able to stop your puppy barking when you want him to stop.
What distraction should you use? This will depend upon you but one suggestion is a treat, especially for an eight-week-old puppy. Wave it quietly under his nose until he quiets down. You may find you yourself must become very quiet and still as well.
Praise him after he is quiet a few seconds and reward him. You may use something else such as a chew toy for the distraction. Whatever you use to distract him, be aware like all things during puppy training, you will repeat and repeat this scenario. Toddlers are not able to do things exactly right the first time you show them and neither will a puppy be able to do it absolutely correct from the first instance.
If your puppy continues barking, he may need a stronger distraction. Some trainers swear by a set of keys jangling together. Another noisy distraction can be some pennies in an empty soda can with the hole taped shut. Shake it so as to startle the puppy barking.
To stop a puppy barking, you simply must add this training to your other puppy training and be prepared to continue for some duration. It may seem like a hassle to go through all this training, but think how wonderful it will be for you and your neighbors to have a puppy, and then a dog, that you control and make into an excellent companion for all his remaining years.
