Introduction

So you’ve got a new pup, and you’re ready to get started on training. Congratulations! Training your dog is one of the most rewarding things about having a pet. However, it can also be frustrating at times. If you want to make sure that your dog will listen to what you say and obey when asked, consider these tips:

Preparation is important.

Preparation is important. Before you begin training, you need to make sure that your dog is properly prepared for the lessons. For example, if it’s an especially hot day and your dog has been out in the sun all day running around or playing in their favorite spot, they may be a bit tired from all the activity and not as focused on learning new tricks. In this case, it’s better to wait until tomorrow when they’re feeling more rejuvenated before starting with their training sessions again.

Prepare yourself and your dog for training by making sure you have everything you need: treats (such as food or toys), leashes or harnesses, collars/harnesses (if applicable), water bowls (if applicable), towels (if applicable), etc…

Use pieces of furniture so your dog knows where they can and cannot go.

The most important thing to do when training your dog is to use furniture in the house so that your pet knows where they can and cannot go.

• Use a gate: This will block off rooms of the house, and it’s a great way for them to learn their boundaries. For example, if you have kids running around, you can put up a gate so that they don’t get into trouble with the dog while playing. You can also place a dog bed or crate in the room as well.
• Use Baby Gates: You can use baby gates as well if there is only one doorway that needs blocking off. This will help keep him from going into other rooms without permission from you (or someone else).
• Put Blankets Over Furniture: If possible, cover up couches and beds with blankets so that he doesn’t want to be on them too much because it means something different than just using furniture alone–you could even try putting his own special blanket over these places so he associates it more with himself rather than just being something else which shouldn’t belong there like anyone else who wants access; this helps establish ownership later on when there aren’t any barriers left between people or animals sharing space together because everyone knows who belongs where!

Hand-feeding helps with obedience training.

Hand-feeding is a great way to train your dog to come when called. It’s important that you teach your dog to come when called, so that you can have control over their behavior and prevent them from running away or escaping while they’re out in public. Hand-feeding is one of the best ways to accomplish this goal!

When you hand-feed your dog, he’ll become accustomed to seeing food coming towards him in your hand. When it’s time for him to sit or lie down on command, if he sees the food moving towards his mouth then he’ll automatically associate this movement with something good coming his way (because it definitely will be!). Eventually, just the movement of an object in front of him will trigger his “sit” response even before any verbal commands have been issued by his owner​

Send your dog to his spot when company comes over so he’s not jumping on guests or begging for food at the table.

If your dog is jumping on guests when they come over, you can train him to go to his spot. When company arrives, say a word like “go to your spot” or “time out.” If he doesn’t go to his area, then pick him up and put him in the corner of the room where there is no activity going on. He should stay in this area until he is released by you saying a command such as “get down” or “stay.”

You can also use a word like “go lay down” if your dog likes to jump up on people when they come over. If dogs are allowed at the table while eating dinner with family members and friends, then they need rules as well. It isn’t fair for them not eat treats but still be allowed at the table while everyone eats their food without any consequences from jumping up onto chairs or begging for food off plates that are being eaten by another guest.

Learn how to communicate with your dog using body language and by reading their body language.

Dogs have different body language than people, so it’s important to learn how to communicate with your pup by reading their body language. Dogs use many different ways of communicating with humans, whether it be through physical contact or eye contact. For example, if your dog is barking at you and has his tail tucked under him while doing so (usually a sign that he is upset), this means that he needs something from you or wants some attention. Your dog may also be trying to get your attention by sitting down next to you and staring at you until he gets what he wants!

You can also train them using hand signals so they will understand what commands mean without having any verbal communication skills themselves such as “sit”, “stop”, or even “come here”. This way there won’t be any confusion between what each one means when given out loud versus silently through gestures like pointing at something specific like food which could lead into confusion if someone else were trying something else too close together during training sessions because then both would mean different things depending upon whether they were spoken aloud versus acted upon silently instead.”

Establish a routine for everything you do with your dog, like eating, playing and going for walks.

Establishing a routine for all of your dog’s activities is important, especially when it comes to training. If your dog has a set schedule, he will be able to anticipate what is coming next and be more likely to respond appropriately. This helps with not only obedience but also with keeping him calm and relaxed throughout the day.

This can be as simple as establishing regular feeding times and walks, or even going out at the same time each night so that he knows what time you are going to bed each evening.

Don’t give up trying to train your dog if it doesn’t work right away.

Don’t give up trying to train your dog if it doesn’t work right away. Many people get frustrated and quit when they think that their dog just isn’t getting the point of what they are trying to teach them. While this can be frustrating, most dogs aren’t born knowing how to obey commands or act around other animals or people. Training is something that takes time and patience, but it will be well worth it in the end when you have a well-behaved pet that listens when asked!

When training your dog, there will inevitably be times where they don’t understand what you’re asking them to do right away. This can make anyone feel like giving up on training altogether because it seems like nothing is working! But remember: All dogs learn differently so don’t give up just yet! Just keep practicing until he gets it!

With time and patience, you can train your dog to be obedient and well-behaved.

It’s important to keep in mind that your dog is smart, and can be trained to do a lot of things. However, training takes time and patience—so don’t give up if it doesn’t work right away! Also, don’t expect your dog to be perfect after one training session; this process takes many sessions over many days or weeks.
