February 6, 2010 - 9:23 pm
There are 5 basic rules to go by when you are dog training.
1. Keep your dog training sessions short. 10 to 15 minutes is a good time for a session.
2. Decide what reward you are going to give your dog. If the reward is food, make it something that they especially like. A small piece of hot dog for example. Also if food is the reward, do your dog training before their meal, not after.
3. Keep your commands short and don’t repeat them. Dogs can focus for about 2 minutes.
4. The odds of success go down as the dog’s motivation goes down. Make sure they are motivated by the reward.
5. End your dog training session with a command you know you dog can do. This way you end the session with positive dog training.
