DOG TRAINING TIPS from Mr. Bob

  • Enclose an outside area for your dog to relieve himself. 

If it is possible, create an area outside where your dog can relieve himself.  Once your dog is conditioned to go to this designated area, clean up will be easier, and in bad weather your dog won’t waste any time looking for the perfect spot . . . ‘cause he’ll already know where to go.

  • Don’t over-stimulate your dog in your home.

Most pet owners allow their young dogs too much freedom before they earn the privilege.  All dogs should go through a step-by-step process on how to properly behave in your home before they are allowed the freedom that you want them to eventually have.

  • Learn how to use different dog training tools.

There are many wonderful training tools in the pet industry to help each family be as consistent with their training as possible.  The advantages of finding an experienced professional who is well-versed in utilizing different tools to help teach you the benefits, when used properly, will aid in the consistency of your total training program.  Unfortunately, it’s the misuse of training aids that discourage the consumer from using these devices.

  • Keep your dog’s training cage totally covered.

Keep a cover over your dog’s cage when you are busy around the house, asleep, or at work, so your dog will remain relaxed and quiet.

  • Dogs do not have a sense of time.

All dogs learn through the associations of daily patterns in their lives.  A dog cannot discern the difference between an hour and three hours.  You need not feel guilty if you find yourself away for a longer than normal period of time.

It’s never too late to change your dog’s behavior.
