Dog Training Secrets Revealed

Use one command for one action and pronounce the command with the same tone of voice. You should gain your dogs attention by saying his name before starting a command.

It is important to realise that you dog will not understand every thing you say and may misunderstand the meaning of what you say. For example if you have trained you dog with the “down” command he may well if he is sitting on the furniture not respond to the command “get down” as he has only recognised the word down.

Punishment and Correction

It is important that the dog sees you as the pack leader. In the wild if a dog steps out of line the”alpha”dog will punish or chastise it immediately.

For general disobedience use the “Alarm No Command” method. This method has three steps that you take when your dog does not respond as you wish.

Use something to alarm your dog, such as a squirt from a water pistol or shaking a pebble filled can. Make sure that you do this while he is in the act of misbehaving.

At the same time say aloud No or Bad. Use a stern voice so that your dog recognises the difference in tone from your normal voice .It is important that your voice correction is sincere and that the delivery is consistent so that the dog associates the harsh words or words with stopping the behaviour.

Then redirect your dog with a command. Sit and stay is a very good choice.

A check collar offers an easier yet more physical ways to give a correction.

A third option would be to exile your dog from the pack. In the wild the alpha dog would growl and chase the offending dog away from the pack. The ostracised dog would not be allowed back into he pack until the alpha dog lets him. You could do this by growling at your dog and chasing him away from the family area say out side to the garden.
