Latest Tips on Dog Training

Reward your dog for letting go of the initial object, then give them something more desirable than what they presently have, and then give it back. This fosters confidence that letting go of something doesn't imply losing it permanently.

Dogs can learn to respond calmly to previously overpowering stimuli by gradually exposing themselves to trigger-specific barking. To begin, place the trigger far enough away for your dog to detect but not loudly react. Give praise and treats right away for calm behavior.

Choose moderately fermentable fibre such as beet pulp and some brans. This helps gut bacteria without causing gas.

Timing is absolutely crucial in positive reinforcement training. The reward must happen within seconds of the desired behaviour, or your puppy may not make the connection between their action and the reward.
