When training your dog, you should be thinking only of your desired results, instead of the behavior you want to avoid. So when you’re going through your training routines, you need to have clear understanding of exactly what you want to happen, and focus on it throughout the session. Keep your mind away from the actions and behavior that you want to avoid.

If you’re not sure what you want, how are you going to get it? This is the case with everything you do in life, particularly when it comes to dog training tips also

Sometimes we fall into the habit of thinking mostly about what we don’t want. This is also the case with dog training too. We sure don’t want the dog to urinate on the furniture, or chew our shoes, or run away when we call, or bark like maniacs when our sweet old aunt comes to visit.

But consider this for a second. Especially if you’re thinking of getting a new puppy in the home. Do you really want to spend the next ten, twelve, or fifteen years reprimanding your dog for things you didn’t want him to do? Don’t you think it’s a better idea to coach your dog to be obedient and socially acceptable?

So rather than worrying about, “The dog had better not chew my shoes, or furniture,” try, “My dog will chew and play with his own squeezy toys.” Instead of, “I don’t want my dog to jump up on my guests,” try instead, “My dog should greet and welcome my guests controlled and quietly.”

By focusing on the positive aspects of your training goals, you will have a much clearer path to successfully training your dog. That’s a great way to start your training journey.

Reward Good Behavior

A crucially important area that people have finally realized in puppy house training over the last few years is the shift from emphasizing correction, or punishment, to rewarding obedience and favorable actions.

Rewarding your dog when he gets it right if highly effective especially for potty train puppies. Perhaps the most important reason is that when you punish your dog, for whatever reason, the outcome could be very demoralizing for both of you. Punishment can make a dog feel threatened when she could become frightened or even aggressive in response to the punishment. It’s always possible that he will withdraw completely and become very timid. They simply lose their bounce and energy. Some may simply curl up and shy away all the time.

Many people also find that reward-based training feels better. It’s a great feeling to be the bearer of rewards and praise for a well behaved pet.

But the icing on the cake is that rewards based dog behavior training works a treat. It’s due to the fact that this approach to behavior training builds confidence and reassurance. As soon as she discovers that rewards come for a particular action of behavior, your dog is more likely to exhibit that behavior again in the future. With regular practice of how to apply that simple rule, this technique will have your dog behaving like the perfect gentleman (or lady).
