How To Get Your Dog To Listen To You
by: Zane Madisson
So what is the problem you are having with pooch? Is your dog not behaving
like the angel you thought it would? There could be any number of reasons as to
why the animal is not properly behaving, but one of the most important reasons
is the reason of listening. Do you actually listen to what your dog is trying to
tell you?
If your dog is not ready to do anything and is lazy, it is not going to obey
your commands. It is just as simple as that. Now on the other hand, if you can
get your dog excited to start listening, you will have one of the most obedient
dogs on the planet. You must make the dog excited to want to learn and want to
please you. Only then will you have the full attention of the animal.
So what is one to do? Well, without getting into too much detail, you just have
to keep things simple and to the point. Animals do not have to learn by
repetition, although I would strongly suggest you do this. How do you practice
getting your dog motivated? Come up with a routine that you can do on a daily
basis for about a week or so, that will not make your dog distracted.
For example, go to a quiet room and with a dog treat, begin your training. When
you can get the dog to focus its attention on you and on the treat, you are
winning the battle here. You must always make the dog want to please you and
never forget to reward it for the awesome behavior it displays, the good
behavior that is. Teaching your dog to sit and then giving it a treat, will let
the dog know that you are happy with what it has just accomplished.
Taking these simple things into consideration, you will go a long way in helping
your dog understand that when it comes time to pay attention, it better do so.
Why would it want to disobey you anyways? It really wants that treat. So with
treat, practice, and patience, you will see an amazing change in the way your
dog behaves.
You have to keep in mind that a treat is a reward with your dog. Dogs love
rewards just like we do. So be generous and be kind when handing out the reward
for good behavior. Stay positive in your teaching and never be negative about
it. Negativity will only hurt the process. Stay sharp and good luck.
