Teaching your dog or puppy basic obedience commands can be a tricky feat, but the reward of a happy, healthy pet makes it well worth the time and effort it takes to train a dog. Learning how to stay, sit, and heel are important for both you and your dogs happiness and safety. There are many variations and theories on how to train a dog, but most professional dog trainers will tell you to reward good behavior and negatively reinforce bad behavior. Of course this can be more difficult than it sounds. Many people may end up unknowingly enforcing the bad behavior instead of the good, but with a little effort and knowledge of how a dog learns, even you can teach your dog basic obedience commands.
When giving commands to a dog, it's important to be strong, abrupt, and in control. This is definitely the case when teaching dogs the leave it command. With this command, you can stop a dog from eating toxic food, chewing something that shouldn't be in their mouth, or from digging where they shouldn't be digging. In this free video series, a dog obedience trainer will teach you how to get your dog to leave something alone. You'll learn how and when to use the command, how to associate visuals with the command, how to bait the dog, and how to vocalize the command correctly. With these training tips and techniques, you'll be able to keep your dog from going through the trash, eating off the counter, or digging up your garden!
