How to train your dog at home

As living standards improve nowadays, more and more people are keeping pets. However, not every pet is able to listen to its owner, and some even start to bark at them. This situation is particularly annoying. Today I will teach you five ways you can train your dog at home, I hope it will help you.

• 1: Develop a sense of name recognition

The first step in training your dog is to develop his name identity and let him know his name.

• 2: Appropriate praise

When training your dog, although the dog does not understand your language but the dog can understand the tone of your voice. A happy and cheerful tone of voice will let your dog know that he has done something you like, and this will have a very good effect when combined with a reward.

• 3: Matching hand signals and commands

When training your dog to do something, always use the same command and gesture. Keep the commands and hand signals simple, concise and clear. Never use complex hand signals or long phrases. If you want to train your dog to sit, the shorter the command 'sit' while he is sitting, the better. This will make it easier for your dog to develop the concept.

• 4: Be prepared to reprimand appropriately

When you notice your dog doing something wrong, stop it immediately with a loud 'NO' and a stern, serious tone of voice. If you have already done something wrong, don't reprimand, as your dog will be confused as to what you are angry about. 

• 5: Control the timing of training

You should not train your dog for too long. Too much time will lead to a reduction in your dog's attention span, which will make the training much less effective and efficient. You can adopt a small number of meals, shorten the training time and increase the number of training sessions. This will give better results!
