Leading your Pet Dog Training to Excellence
2

• A real Aussie way of taking control of your pet
  is through channelizing the things that are
  significant to your dog. You can utilize his
  inherent personality traits while imparting the
  training.
• There are four distinct things that need to be
  considered while imparting training to your pet
• The pet should not get out of control, Passion
  does not turn into obsession while training,
  loyalty is one thing and possessiveness is
  another (be careful about it while training your
  pet) and the most significant one is transforming
  hyperactivity of your pet into positive energy.
• All these things when combined lead to quality
  pet training that leads to excellence.

Understand the body language of the dog

• If your pet shows discomfort in front of other
  animals or a person do not make them say hello.
  There must be a significant reason for the pet to
  behave in this manner.
• Try to understand that and respect the reason. If
  you force the issue, it will turn into bigger
  problems.

4
Always display your affection to the dog

• Dogs will learn to respect your command if you
  show affection to them. Many times pet-parents
  show their annoyance on the pets but do not
  shower their affection and love when they adore
  their pets.
• This needs to be rectified instantly. It is
  sometimes ok to be over the top in showering your
  affection with a little praise and attention.

5
Give clear-cut instructions to the dog

• It is very important for you as a pet-parent to
  tell your pet what needs to be done rather than
  negating him from doing a particular thing.
• You cannot have a yardstick to measure the
  behaviour of your pet hence, when you ask your
  pet to greet another pet or a person through a
  jump he may jump higher.
• If you tell him no, he will take it as a no to
  the jumping, whereas what you wanted to depict
  was not to jump too high or jump on the left side
  rather than the right side. The best solution to
  this problem is to make him sit and understand
  what you want him to do so that there is no
  confusion latter.

6
Be consistent while training the dog

• Whenever you are training the pet it is important
  that all the family members in the house are on
  the same page.
• So when you ask your dog to pull off from the
  couch when he steps on it other family members
  should not give contradictory instruction of
  sitting on the couch.
• This will confuse the dog and he will never
  understand what you are trying to say to him.
  Hence, consistency is the key while training the
  dog.

7
Be patient. Changes will happen in due course of
time

• It is very difficult to change a habit as a human
  being, so how can you expect your dog to unlearn
  and learn things again very quickly.
• If you have trained your dog to greet people by
  jumping at them since early childhood and now you
  do not want your pet to do that thing you need to
  give some time to the dog to unlearn that habit
  and relearn a new behavior like sitting besides
  the foot of the people and greeting them.
• It will take time for them to learn this new
  behavior gives him some time and he will come out
  with flying colors.

8
Give rewards for positive behavior to the dog

• Some people would think that treats are like
  bribes that you give to the pet in order to make
  them do something. But try and understand the
  fact that it is one of the easiest ways to train
  your dog.
• You can use treats as positive reinforcement and
  interact with your dog. But please do not use
  food very often except during active training
  sessions. Remember that positive behavior of the
  pet should induce the treat rather than the treat
  inducing the behavior.

• The tips given above will not only assist you and
  your pet to lead a healthy life, but it will also
  make it much easier for you to give them a
  fulfilled purpose.
• No doubt it will take lots of hard work and
  dedication, but the end result is worth it.
• Do not stop interacting with your dog as each and
  every day you can impart a new learning session
  to the pet. Remember the learning should not
  cease and also try to make the training sessions
  fun for the dog.
