Help Me Train My Dog

Have you ever asked anyone Help me train my dog? This article will allow you to understand your dog and put a stop to your frustration.

 I know what its like to fall in love with these tiny fluffy babies, they just steal your heart and at that time, the last thing you think of is what a responsibility they turn out to be.



Now the hard work begins. The responsible dog owner will always train his or her dog.
Consistent Training helps to build mutual respect and obedience from the dog to his owner. I will answer your plea---Help me train my dog! 

Here are 10 very useful tips to get you started.

1: The first rule for any dog owner is never, never to hit or hurt your dog.


2: Training can be done at home and is not expensive. Anyone can learn to have a good mannered and obedient dog.


3: You must always use the same command with the dog and make sure that the whole family uses the same commands as you, otherwise your poor dog just gets really confused.  


4: You will be much more successful with your dog training if you ignore bad behaviour and reward good behaviour.


5:  You will need some rewards to help train your dog, it's a good idea to use praise and treats (something your dog loves but only ever gets at training time) Little pieces of cooked chicken or small bought treats are great for this.


6: To start off you will have your dog on a short leash when training. You will let him get away from you a bit then call " Come". When he comes to you always give him excited praise in a high voice or a treat or both.


7: You want to make the dogs training session enjoyable for both of you, this way he will be really looking forward to his training lessons and will want to please you.


8: Never make the training sessions too long as the dog will get tired and bored. You want to leave him wanting more so that next time he will be excited about the session.


9: Enjoy this one on one time with your dog. Once a day for a short time is best if you can manage it.

10:  Don't give up. Soon you will have an obedient dog that you can be proud of.

 I hope you have enjoyed this article-- Help me train my Dog.
