Introduction

You want your dog to be well-behaved and obedient, but training him can be a challenge. To help out, we’ve compiled the best tips for dog obedience training:

The best time for training your dog is when you’re both relaxed.

The best times to train your dog are when he is relaxed. If your dog is excited, try to calm him down by petting him or feeding him favorite treats. If your dog is anxious, try to get him excited by playing a game of fetch or tug with a toy that he likes and wants to keep. If the dog seems sleepy, wake him up by clapping and saying his name loudly in an excited tone of voice.

Say “no” with a quiet, firm voice and walk away.

When it’s time to say “no,” you want to be firm, but not angry. You also don’t want to show fear or excitement. If you do, your dog will think it’s okay for him or herself to get excited or scared while being told no.

You should never hit your dog. Even if it seems like the only way at the moment, when you’re frustrated and trying to get through this training session without losing your temper with a puppy (or adult dog), striking out at them isn’t going to help anybody. It may seem helpful in the moment, but later when this is all over and done with, it will only cause more problems between you and your pooch!

Don’t try to get your dog’s attention with verbal commands.

You’re at it again. You want your dog to look at you, and you want it now. So what do you do? Shout their name? Shake the leash? Yank on it?

Unfortunately, all of these methods will only serve to make your dog more afraid of you or confused as to why he is being punished for not paying attention in class!

Instead of trying to get your dog’s attention using words or physical force, try using a treat bag. This way when he does look at you, he gets rewarded with something good (the treat). It will encourage him to pay attention next time too!

Have an area where you keep treats so you can give them out quickly.

One of the best things you can do for your dog is to keep treats easily accessible. Treats are a great way to reward your dog for good behavior and training. When you are working on training exercises, it’s important that you use treats as a reward. The goal here is to make sure that your dog knows what he or she did right and then give them a treat when they do so.

You should have an area where you keep all of the treats in one place so that they are always easily accessible when needed. The location should be somewhere away from children or other pets who might try to eat them and also out of reach of people who could accidentally knock them over while walking by (or even if they’re just trying not to step on something). You don’t want any kids eating these either because some kinds may be toxic for humans!

A good rule of thumb with any kind of food item—not just treats—is not too hold onto it longer than three months at most (for example: cookies) because after this point goes stale taste much less delicious than before!

Make sure that everyone who is around your dog while you’re training knows that they are supposed to follow the rules too.

It’s important that everyone who is around your dog while you’re training knows that they are supposed to follow the rules as well. When you are training a new command, it can be tempting to just let people do whatever they want, but this will only confuse your dog. Make sure that everyone understands that they need to follow your commands and that there will be consequences if they don’t.

If someone breaks the rules, don’t make a big deal out of it—just make sure you correct them gently with a reminder of what good behavior looks like. For example: “Hey John! You know we aren’t supposed to give our pets treats unless we ask for permission first.” Don’t ignore rule breakers or scold them harshly!

If you are trying to teach your dog not to beg, make sure that he gets his own food and water every day.

If you are trying to teach your dog not to beg, make sure that he gets his own food and water every day.

• Dogs will often beg for food if they are hungry.
• Dogs will also often beg for food if they are bored or lonely.
• Additionally, when a dog is excited about something or feels happy, he may try to get attention by begging for food and/or attention from other people in the room (or even just on TV).

If your dog is getting too excited when being trained, try to calm him down by using a treat or a toy.

If your dog is getting too excited when being trained, try to calm him down by using a treat or a toy. If you have to stop training because it’s too hard for both of you, then maybe it would be better to try again later when your dog has calmed down.

You may need to move the training session to an area that is less stimulating for your dog (like outside in the backyard) if he’s overly excited during indoor training sessions.

Remember, positive reinforcement is key when it comes to training your dog.

Positive reinforcement is the key when it comes to training your dog. When you see your dog doing something good, such as sitting when told or fetching a ball upon command, reward him with praise or a treat. You can also play games with him that involve his favorite toys or offer treats (if he’s food-motivated).

Another way to help ensure success is through consistency in words used during training sessions. For example, if you say “sit” one time and then another time say “down,” it will be confusing for your dog because he may not understand which instruction you want him to follow at any given moment in time—so make sure all commands are consistent throughout every session and don’t change them up unless absolutely necessary (such as if an emergency situation occurred).

Be consistent in the words you use when training your dog so that he understands what you want from him.

Consistency is key in dog training. Dogs are creatures of habit, and if you are not consistent in the words you use when giving commands to your dog, he might not learn what is expected of him.

For example, if your dog doesn’t know what “sit” means but will respond to “stay” or “down,” how do you expect him to know what he should be doing? If he doesn’t understand the command, it will be impossible for him to perform reliably on command.

These tips will help make it easier for you to train your dog.

The tips above are a great starting point, but you should always keep in mind that these tips should be used in conjunction with your own judgment, the dog’s personality, and any other advice you find online or from friends.

I hope this article has provided you with some helpful tips on how to train your dog. Training a dog can be tough, but it also has its rewards. When you see your dog doing what he’s supposed to do and understanding what you’re saying, it makes all the hard work worth it! Remember that consistency is key when training a dog so don’t give up if your first attempt doesn’t work out perfectly; just keep practicing until he gets it right eventually
