How to Tame Your Dog

Animal, if not tamed and dealt with properly, turns out to be wild and unruly. However, this does not mean that they will forever stay this way. There are things that an owner can do to tame his pet especially dogs. Training your pet isn’t such a difficult thing to do. Learn helpful tips on how to do it through this article.

Early Training
Just like humans, your pet dog can be better trained when it is still a puppy. You will already find difficulties training when it is already an adult. Puppies are easier to train and they can learn the things you taught them until they become full-blown adults. So, if you have puppy, might as well try training it now. The earlier it is, the better the outcomes are.

Knowing Your Pet
It is a must that an owner is really keen towards its pet’s behavior and attitude. You will not know the right approach that you can use in training your pet unless you thoroughly know its characteristics. Pets need constant guidance. They possess qualities that might be very improper and it’s up to its owner to stop it by way of proper training. Once you get to know your pet a whole lot better then it would be very easy for you to point out the things that you need to correct.

Pacify Your Dog
It is innate for dogs to have an aggressive behavior but it’s up for the owner on how he can pacify it. Learning how to tame your dog is somewhat a difficult pursuit. This requires enough time in order to see any improvements. You can only pacify your dog if you get to earn its trust otherwise all your efforts would be useless. The owner should also take time to bond with its pet. Through this, the owner strengthens his bond with the dog. Thus, it would now be very easy to manipulate the behavior of your dog.



Break Bad Habits
It is very crucial that a pet’s unhealthy behavior is stopped before it becomes too severe. If you just tolerate it, for sure, it’s not the dog’s fault but yours. Dogs and other pets should be taught what behaviors are acceptable and what are not. If for example the dog keeps on biting a piece of furniture and the owner doesn’t seem to care, it would think that it’s okay to do that. Just like humans, dogs would keep repeating a certain behavior if not reprimanded.

Good Command
Dog training can only be effective through an excellent command and communication. The owner himself should be clear enough in giving his instructions and should be very specific on what he’d like the dog to do.

Pamper Itself
Dogs want to feel pampered just like the other pets do. They would like to experience comfort, too. Just as you provide these felines a cat bed and a cat scratching post, dogs would like to share a soft and crisp bed, too. They would also like to be groomed. Pamper your dog by giving it a regular bath. You can also shampoo it and make it smell so clean. 

Tip :

Along for the Car Ride
If you have a dog who is wary of car rides, there's hope. Get your pooch used to going for car rides in ou canine small steps. Start by just sitting with yin the car. It also helps if you bring along his favorite toy, blanket and a few treats. When he's comfortable, try going down just to end of the street. Lengthen each trip and in no time your canine friend will be used to car rides.
