Fundamentals of Dog Training
Dog training requires patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Taking the right steps from the first days ensures long-term success.
First Days
Give your dog time when you first bring them home. Be patient as they adapt to their new environment and create a safe space.
Basic Commands
Start with basic commands like "sit", "stay", "come". Use a reward system when teaching each command and be consistent.
Potty Training
Create a regular schedule for potty training. Take your dog outside at the same times and reward their successes.
Positive Reinforcement
Reinforce correct behaviors with rewards, toys, and loving words. Use redirection instead of punishment.
