How Do You Succeed In Dog Behavior Training?
A dog makes a great companion or family pet. The key to keeping a dog happy and healthy and ensuring that the dog will be well-behaved and obedient is dog behavior training. Dog behavior training is rewarding for both the dog and the owner. Establish specific words and commands to give the dog when training him. Use only these commands when you work with the dog. Changing your words or varying commands will confuse him, making it harder for him to understand what you want him to do. Mark the behavior once you have given a command and the dog has responded so she knows it’s correct. You can use a handheld device like a clicker or a positively reinforcing word like “yes” to mark the behavior. Reward the behavior once you’ve marked it as correct. Most trainers use small treats as rewards after a dog gives a proper response to a command. To make sure the dog doesn’t get distracted, keep treats in a pocket or a bag out of sight when you give commands and mark behavior. Only bring treats out
