Many dog owners find that their efforts toward training their pet are greatly aided by the use of a training collar. There are many types of collars available and each employs a different way to guide your pet, restrain him or discourage bad or disobedient behavior.

Some training collars can harm a dog if they are not used appropriately or are the wrong size; so, you should research training collars thoroughly before choosing one.

Some common dog training collars are: the prong collar, the Halti, the Gentle Leader, the choke collar and the electronic collar.

Prong Collar

This collar is made up of metal prongs that have been linked together. When you apply a pulling pressure to the collar (via the leash), it gives the dog a little pinch that is meant to duplicate the effect of a mother dog's teeth when she grabs here pup by the scruff of the neck.

The prong collar is a safe and effective training tool as long as the fit is correct and the collar is used appropriately. The prong collar should not be used if your dog is one to consistently yank at his leash.

The prong collar should fit snugly against the dog's neck. A properly fitted collar should leave approximately ½ of a finger space in between your dog's neck and the prong tip. A collar that is any looser than that won't do its job and will needlessly chafe the dog's skin.

Halti and Gentle Leader

Both the Halti and Gentle Leader head halter devices look a lot like the harnesses that are used to control horses. While the prong collar is designed to condition behavior and movement, the head halter is designed to restrict or restrain your dog's movements. The thought behind the halter's design is that if you can control the head, the body will follow its movement.

When you pull on the attached leash the device closes the dog's mouth and restrains his head. These types of collars are great for dogs that lunge, bite or display other aggressive behaviors.

There are drawbacks, however, to using a head halter device. Most dogs will not take very easily to any device that positions a strap over its nose. You may have to struggle with your dog many, many times before he will submit to wearing it.

Another drawback is that pulling at your dog's head makes it a lot more likely that you'll inadvertently injure the dog's neck or back. To avoid injury, you should always make sure you're restraining your dog in the correct manner.

Choke Collar

The choke collar is one of those dog training devices that is often surrounded by controversy. Proponents of the choke collar point to its humane effectiveness, while critics say that the collar is more torture device than training tool. The truth is that what the collar becomes is largely dependent upon who is using it.

A properly fitted choke collar works by tightening around the dog's throat when the trainer pulls on the leash and then releasing pressure when the trainer does. If the collar is not put on correctly, however, the pressure will remain and the dog could truly choke to death. These collars are not meant for dogs that consistently pull at their leash or for inexperienced trainers. As is the case with head halters, the choke collar has the potential to cause injury to the dog's neck.

Electronic Collar

Just mention the option of an electronic dog collar and many dog owners (even some people with no pets at all) will look at you as if you have suggested training your dog with a stun gun.

The reality is that electronic collars can be a very humane way to train a dog. As with any other training device, however, whether or not it is used for purposes of cruelty is totally dependent upon the intentions and experience of the trainer.

The electronic collar works by allowing the trainer to give the dog small, electric shocks (via remote control) in order to modify its behavior. The intensity of the shock is left to the trainer. In general, the setting should be strong enough to make the dog's ears twitch. If the dog howls or yelps when the shock is delivered, then the setting is too high. Again, the electronic collar should only be used by experienced trainers.

Dog training courses can mean the difference between having a happy dog and happy life - or not. Dogs are happier, healthier and safer when they have loving boundaries set for them and that's what dog training courses help you learn to set for your dog.

First let's take a look at the overall methods that dog training courses use. If you find a method that suits you best, you will know the type of course that will best for you and your dog.

Types of Dog Training Courses

Reward Training: Emphasizes positive reinforcement -- instead of punishing or yelling at your dog for what you don't want him to do, you reward your dog for doing what you want him to do. Rewards consist of praise and petting as well as treats. Treats are especially used in the early learning stages of a new behavior.

Dog Whispering: Dog Whispering is more of a general philosophy than a method. This is a more advanced method that should taken on by dog lovers who feel very confident in their connection with their dogs and are interested in learning about canine behaviors, motivation and body language.

Choke or Check Collar Training: Choke collars are collars that slip over a dogs head onto it neck and tighten down on the dogs neck when it pulls too hard on its leash. Choke collars were designed for professional trainers and for limited use - there is a health risk to your dog's neck and trachea when using them. In general, dog training courses that emphasize choke or check collar training are not recommended.

Prong Collar Training: Don't even think about this method. A prong collar has metal ends that stick into a dog's flesh and digs into its neck when it pulls on its leash. Inhumane period!

Head Collar Training: Very humane collar that gently redirects a dog's attention or the way you want him to go instead of punishing or hurting him as the two methods directly above do. Very effective especially when used with Reward Training.

Clicker Training: This method takes a hand-held clicker which, oddly enough, makes a "clicking" noise when squeezed. During clicker training, a dog is reinforced in behaviors with doggie treats paired with the clicking noise. At some point, the treats will be eliminated and the dog will know it has done something right simply by hearing the clicking noise. Very effective.

Electric Collar Training: As the name implies, this type of training involves your dog wearing a collar in which you are able to administer an electric shock to discourage certain behaviors. this method should only be used by professional trainers in the most extreme circumstances.

Ultrasonic Whistle Training: You know of the dog whistles that you can't hear but a dog can - right? This method uses these whistles to get your dog's attention as well as to train him. You will need to be trained in this method first.

Here are five top hints on how to train your hound successfully:

1. To avoid your dog getting confused, and so that they can learn to recognize commands easily, only one person should be responsible for training the dog initially. For example, if your spouse uses different hand signals and words than you, your poor puppy will be trying to learn two sets of commands. This is not fair to your dog and will delay the learning process.

2. You should use positive reinforcements. If the dog does something good, you should reward this behavior so that he will know that what he did was right. If the dog cannot understand or follow your commands, never push him. Dogs are not fluent in English and do not understand your commands, and sometimes make mistakes. What you need understand is that your puppy won't easily understand your commands in just one session of dog training. It takes repetition to train a dog successfully.

Do not yell at your dog as they might develop fear which will get in the way his/her learning and willingness to be trained. You can use a combination of toys and treats in order to encourage your dogs, although don't overdue it. Some people also like to use clickers which will work very well on the right dog - but not all.

3. Successful dog training entails teaching one command at a time Try to teach Fido or Fiffi one command after the other. If he or she cannot absorb it, try to stay on that command only because adding additional commands will just confuse the dog. Begin with the fundamentals and build upon them as if building a house. A simple way to begin teaching "down" is to repeat the the word every time your puppy lays down, and follow with affection and praise.

4. For executing orders, you should keep your voice cheerful so that the puppy will happily follow your commands. Dogs will respond to a low and coaxing voice. If you scream loud, your hound may become upset and may shut down. Remember that your canine wants to please you and be with you. If your puppy is not learning a command take a break and come back to it later. Also training sessions should be short - 15 minutes or less.

5. Train your dog in several places. If you keep your dogs in a certain place like your home, he or she will not be able to adjust with the various environments and new people. Take your hound to the park or through the neighborhood. Take your puppy everywhere you can - let your dog get comfortable with meeting strangers (especially children). This will help your puppy associate with other dogs and people. In addition, dogs will associate certain behaviors with their commands. For example, many dogs will sit and stay at a group obedience class, but will suddenly lose their manners when a visitor rings the doorbell. Introducing your canine to an assortment of locations will guarantee good manners at all times.

Training your dog can be tough, but it will be worth it. Just remember to be patient, persistent and positive! In the end, you will be the one to benefit when your dog is trained. Imagine how proud you will be when you have the most obedient dog in the neighborhood! Your friends and relatives will be happy to visit since you have such a well mannered pooch. And if you want to continue training, you can take these 5 tips and use them in Agility or another dog sport.

Have you recently brought your gorgeous little puppy home but are having sleepless nights as he doesn't feel safe and comfortable at night? Do you worry that your puppy is roaming around your house whilst you're in bed and could hurt himself? The answer to these problems is crate training. I've put together the best advice I used for crate training your puppy.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IN CRATE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY?

Some people get the wrong idea about using a crate for your puppy but that is because they don't understand how to use the crate. They are not for punishing your puppy, they are to give him his own space.

If you can get your puppy crate trained, it will make life so much easier for you when you need to take him to the vets as crates are great for transporting your dog around. If you need to make a long journey with your dog, such as a family holiday, then the crate will prove to be a comfortable carrier for your dog that he is happy to be in and enjoy the journey!

MY TOP TIPS FOR CRATE TRAINING YOUR PUPPY:

#1 - Make the crate nice and cosy for your puppy by ensuring that you have a comfortable base bed/blanket in there. Attach a water bottle to the side of the crate. This works better than having a water bowl inside as there's a good chance your puppy would knock it over and spill water all over the crate!

#2 - Give your puppy something to do! Leave a couple of his favourite toys in there and some tasty chews.

#3 - Get the right crate for the breed of dog you have. Unless you have an endless supply of cash, you won't want to be having to replace the crate when your puppy grows up!

#4 - When your puppy leaves the litter he will be confused by his new environment. Many breeders will give new owners a blanket or toy that has his mothers scent on it. This will be a great comfort to your puppy when he is getting used to his new surroundings.

#5 - You must never use the crate as a punishment. If you do it will confuse your puppy.

I discovered a great training method for crate training your puppy.

There is such a wide range of dog training books, picking the right one for you and your dog can be confusing. Some aspects of these books need to be considered before you make the decision to buy an expensive training book. Keep these things in mind when you go shopping for your training book.

The first question you should ask yourself is exactly what you are hoping to accomplish with the dog training. The greatest dog training books out there are the ones that work on creating a meaningful connection between you and your pet. Your highest ambition should be to create such a connection, and not be simply concentrating on training your dog.

It's really important that you be aware of what "method" that each of the various dog training books use before you decide to purchase it. Some methods work better than others, and some don't work at all. When considering the methods and choosing one, there are several things you should keep in mind. A few things you need to think about when deciding upon which technique you will employ are:

• Has this method been successful for anyone?

• Is this particular method easy to understand or too complicated?

• Do you feel comfortable with these techniques and will you be able to use them?

• How will your own dog react to these techniques?

• What incentives do they require you to offer to your pet?

• Do they continually use treats and praise incentives, or do they include affirmative reinforcement techniques?

• Is there additional training equipment such as clickers or collars that you will need to purchase and how expensive will that equipment be?

The experience level should also be taken into consideration when choosing the right book for dog training. For a puppies and untrained dogs, look specifically for books that are written for these beginners. But you can also find advanced books for dogs that already have basic training. Remember, we're not talking about just your dog's level of experience you will be taking into consideration, but your own level, too. For those who are somewhat new at training dogs, some of the more complicated methods and advanced techniques for learning tricks might end up confusing both of you.

Be sure to take your dog's breed into consideration when you are choosing a dog training book. Purebred dogs will sometimes have certain quirks that are specific to each of the breeds. These quirks are acknowledged and discussed in a lot of the more breed specific books. However, you'll notice that purebreds are not the only dogs that have specialized books about them. There are dog training books geared to specific mixed breed dogs as well. It's important to know that mixed breeds, or those with questionable parentage, are not shut out of the loop.

When you're considering purchasing any book, checking out customer reviews is always a good idea. Customers who have already purchased and tried the methods offered in the book are a good source of information. They can give you invaluable information on what works or not, and how worthwhile the advice on dog training really was. These comments are completely based upon the user's personal experience, so you can figure out which techniques are better than others simply by reading quite a few reviews.

The last suggestion is to talk to people you know. Go talk to people who already have dogs, and see what they would recommend as good dog training books for you. If nothing else, this information may give you either a starting point for choosing a training book for your dog, or may help you narrow down a list that is too extensive. In addition, you will learn what techniques were effective and which ones were not. Just remember the most important part is that you and your dog find a type of training that fits both of you well.

Advanced Dog Training is a post from: Grassroots Dog Training Advice

Like most of us who are trained from the very early phase of our lives first by our parents, then by our teachers and mentors on how to lead a disciplined life, how to socialize, how to behave, etc. etc. Even the best friend of man .i.e. our dog or the puppy or by whatsoever lovely name we call your pooch, requires some sought of training in order to understand his master's command very easily and thus do not harass their master's with their behavioral problems.

One thing that will amuse most of the dog owners is that no longer they need to run to places to get their dog trained by a good dog trainer. There are several online dog training courses available that you can purchase to train your pooch at your home. These online dog training courses not only provide some vital tips on how to train your dog at home but they also help in saving a lot of your money from going to the hands of the professional dog trainers, who ask for a hefty sum to train your dog at your place. And even if you don't have time to train your dog at home, any of your family members can do this task just by following the tips offered by these online dog training courses.

Now the first thing that comes in the mind of most of the dog owners is how to select a good online course to train their dogs at home. Amongst the several online dog training courses that are available, choose from the one that is run by a professional dog trainer. This is because; a professional dog trainer will more likely reveal the actual dog training methods that will work. So just look out for the course run by the experts in this field and beware of some crafty websites that lure you with great offers.

The next very important thing to look out for when selecting a good online training course for your dog is the course which focuses first on the master's training. This is very important because in order to train your dog, you first need to be well acquainted with the procedure of dog training. The other important thing to take into consideration while selecting a good online dog training course is, the course which lay emphasis on the behavior pattern of dogs. Just like men, the dog too has a behavior pattern of its own and is very unlike the behavior pattern of human beings. So a course, which teaches the master on how to tackle with the behavior and thinking pattern of his dog, is always considered to be a very good one.

The last but the most important thing concerned with the good training course is the price that it comes for. It is not always that a course that comes for a higher price will have something extra to offer, some really good dog training courses are available for very less price. In this regard, all you need to is to look out for various websites run by the professional dog trainers, compare their courses and then choose from the one that offers the best training at a minimum price.

Even you can train your dog just like any other professional dog trainer by purchasing a good online dog training course.

Dog Training Methods article

Dog Training Methods is a post from: Grassroots Dog Training Advice

There are definite matters which should be observed when training one's dog. In that respect there are various methods of dog training.

A few of these methods are rather effective, although some others can deliver negative consequences. It's consequently quite instinctive to become confused with so numerous positions of dog training, as it's hard to differentiate which one works the best.

The most common mix-up, which folks incline to experience, is when to reward and when to reprimand the dog. If you're such a baffled one, the following points will assist you.

Your dog-training instructor will in all likelihood assure you that you should always maintain a positive atmosphere when dog training. But really you'd want to be stern in certain positions.

Nevertheless, you must not scold your dog too often, because dogs always generate a more effective reaction if they get a positive behavior from their trainer. Therefore it's first all important for you to recognise when to praise your dog.

Your dog should acquire a reward every time he obeys you during the coaching technique. You should reward him if he sits, stays, fetches, goes to toilet in the right place, or executes anything he his told.

His rewards can be anything - praises or gentle words, goodies, a rub on his stomach, or a pat on his head!

Positive dog training makes the learning procedure faster. What your dog really desires is to please you, and that has why it will respond best with this kind of instructing. Just make certain that you don't go on rewarding him even when he disobeys you.

OK, you've just picked up a brand new puppy from the pet store, breeder, or shelter, and everyone in the family is super excited by the addition of the new fuzzy member. Now what do you do to ensure the smoothest successful transition together for everyone?

Unfortunately, all too frequently, this initial excitement turns into frustration because the initial essential training steps are not taken. I promise, however, if you adhere to my 2-simple steps below, you are 98.9% certain to be very happy together.

The first step is to potty and create train your dog. I have found that these two straightforward items go hand and hand. With today's busy schedules, these inexpensive tools provide security and boundary for your pet. Dog creates are well worth their investment, providing a calming sanctuary for your pet and relief for you. The dog training pads (also called pet pee pads) protect your floors and furniture, while discouraging scent marking by your dog. It's a very good idea to start using these pads quickly as to avoid urine damage and the setting of bad habits for your dog. Here are a few techniques to keep in mind with regards to potty training your new guest with dog training pads:

• Always leave the pads in the same location so your dog will establish a routine. Most owners utilize the kitchen or bathroom.
• Be aware when your dog is showing signs of restlessness...this is usually a sigh that they need to relieve themselves. Upon noticing such signs, take them to the training pads and encourage them to go potty. When they go, praise them. It is very important not to scold your dog...be patient with them.
• It is also a good idea to take them to the training pad after meals and be for your crate them for the night. This also helps establish routine for them.
• Expect that your new dog will have some accidents at first but by focusing you dog's positive actions they will eventually figure out what is expected of them.

Secondly, initiate some form of structured obedience training by week 10. Depending on what you are expecting from your dog, this training does not have to be difficult for either of you. In fact, this step can become more of a game that is enjoyed by everyone. In time, this exercise will become a positive foundation for you and your dog. Regardless where you chose to train your dog, at home or in a training school, there are a couple principles which you should follow:.

• Keep your training interaction fun and rewarding for your dog. Your dog truly wants to please you, be patient and help them understand what you want them to do. While dogs are naturally somewhat intuitive, but they don't speak or understand our language, and they don't read minds. Yelling or corporal punishment is not necessary and will cause fear and timid behavior, nor does it foster obedience or love.
• Consistency is very important in helping your dog learn. Don't confuse your dog with different commands for the same tasks. In reality, the more consistent your training, the faster they learn.

Admittedly, these steps are very simple... so obvious in fact that many new dog owners fail to implement them thoroughly. Most dogs and their new families only have a limited time together to adjust with each other. By following these initial dog training essentials, the initial excite of the new family member will surely turn into a long term loving and happy relationship for all.

Going through dog training is something every dog owner should do. Anyone can appreciate a well behaved dog. But did you know that there a several different kinds of training and not all are right for your dog?

Most people aren't even aware of the different types of training. The different types of training are based for dogs at different stages.

Some dogs have had training before, while others have had none. Because of this, it is best that you know which kind of training to put your dog in.

The first type of training is "basic dog training". This type of training can be for puppies or for adult dogs that have never received any type of instruction. This course teaches dogs to sit, stay, and come.

Basic training also emphasizes socialization skills(especially for puppies). Good socialization skills teach your dog to get along with other dogs and people.

If your dog has never had any form of lessons, then it needs to start with the basics.

The next type is intermediate lessons. This is not for puppies. Intermediate courses are for any adult dogs who have either been through basic dog training or for dogs that have been trained the basics well enough by their owner.

Intermediate courses teach dogs to heel, walk proper on a leash, fetch and return, and it also goes over the basics of training in more detail (sit, stay, come, etc.).

Advanced dog training is the last kind available. Advanced lessons areonly allowed for adult dogs who have taken at least 1 course before and they must have passed it as well.

All of the basic and intermediate aspects are gone over in great detail in the beginning. Then the course goes to teaching your dog to follow these commands with hand signals (come, stay, sit, heel, lie down, etc.)

Once the dog learns hand signals, the advance course then moves to teaching your dog to walk beside you without a leash and for the dog to stay beside you at all times. It also teaches your dog to pay attention to you and to avoid distractions.

This course is only for very well behaved dogs.

All of these courses should utilize positive reinforcement (praise and rewards). They should not use any negative training techniques (hitting or yelling). Be sure that you pick a dog training course that only uses positive reinforcement.

Also be sure that you select the course that is right for your dog. With the right course, your dog can be well behaved, well adjusted, and truly a joy to have!

You have come here for help on crate training for your puppy. You are especially interested in crate training for your puppy because you do not want a crying, barking puppy to disturb your sleeping family. You can stop reading right now and hope that somehow your puppy will teach itself how to behave while crated day or night. If you realize this is not likely to happen and would like four very good tips on crate training puppies, then keep reading.

1. Shorter training sessions works best with puppies because they have short attention span and are easily distracted. It takes most puppies about 12 months for their bodies and mental functioning to develop to maturity. Some dog breeds need more than a year to reach full maturity.

2. Introduce your puppy to his crate with the door open. Allow the puppy to explore the crate without restriction. Offer any needed reassurance. Talk to your puppy in a light and happy tone. This teaches the puppy that his crate is a good thing.

3. Position treats around the inside of the crate to attract the puppy inside. When the puppy is in the crate for longer periods on its own, begin closing the door for a few minutes at a time. Always speak in a light tone voice with your puppy to convey to them that the crate is a good thing. Gradually increase the time that the puppy is in the crate with the door closed, and your distance away from the crate. Training a puppy to behave in a crate can take only a few days to several weeks depending on your puppy's personality.

4. Provide your puppy with a comfortable mat to lie on in the crate. Place a few toys in the crate as well to keep your puppy occupied. This helps make the puppy feel good and safe while in the crate and prevent the pup from crying or barking while in the crate, which is especially helpful at night when the family wants to sleep.

If you're sick and tired of your canine's annoying problems and behaviors visit http://www.petdogtraining.info to learn how you can cut your dog obedience training time in half by using the techniques that will give you immediate results.

Pet Dog Training offers six days Secrets to Dog Training Course for FREE where you can finally put an end to the stress and annoyance of your dog's behavior problems.

Anyone that owns a puppy or hard-to-train dog must take action immediately to ensure that their puppy is getting the best training available so he/she will grow up to be a healthy, happy, and lovable dog that you've always wanted.

Chances are that you have at least once stumbled upon a website or advertisement proclaiming that your pet's commercial dog food is wholly inadequate, or worse, killing your dog. These internet smear campaigns started shortly after the dog food recall scare in 2005 due to Aflotoxins in a variety of pet foods. Aflotoxins are produced by a fungus, and in this case the fungus was growing on a bad batch of corn, which unfortunately was used in a shipment of pet food.

The company, which shall remain nameless, failed to comply with standard internal quality control and testing procedures, which resulted in the illness and death of over 100 dogs, and 1 cat. The company as since cleaned up its act, and other companies followed suit by strengthening their quality control measures.

As a result, our pet's food supply is safer, and healthier than it has ever been. Dogs are living much longer than they had just a decade ago, and much of this longevity can be attributed to the great strides made in animal nutrition. One of the lesser known reasons for the overcrowding of animal shelters is that people's pets are living much longer than they used to, and as a result, they adopt new dogs less frequently.

Critics will argue that if the food is so nutritious, then why do they have to spray it after processing to give it more nutritional value?

The answer is simply that micro-nutrients, such as vitamin-a for example, must be added evenly to the food and in precise and minute quantities. They are added in such a manner to ensure that every morsel is as nutritionally balanced as the next.

The only caveat to the commercialization of dog food is that there are loopholes in the regulation of dog food brands that are only sold instate. If the manufacturer does not ship his pet food product across state lines, then his product is not has heavily regulated as some of the larger, nationwide brands.

Companies will not profit from killing their clients pets. They want nothing more than for your pets to live for decades, so that you continue to purchase their product on a regular basis. As terrible as that may sound, it is the truth. It is the motivation behind the rapid advances in animal nutrition in recent years. There is no "dog food conspiracy".

Dog training for obedience is a continuous process. Dog obedience training for obedience is basically a program that requires active involvement of both the owner and the dog. The whole dog training teaches them how to communicate with each other effectively. In case you do not know, dog training for obedience is vital to building a strong and close relationship with your dog. To achieve that, house training your dog is the most effective and quickest way to accelerate the dog training for obedience of your dog.

Proper dog training for obedience is built on the principle of proper and strict reinforcement of discipline. Dogs are naturally social creatures and are able to live in packs. As such, they are not loners and they are inclined to conform to social hierarchy or authority within the pack of dogs. Likewise, because of this, they are ready to listen and obey your commands. But dog obedience training is effective and easier for you if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, a lot of times, your dog training efforts become futile and counter-productive.

One common goal in dog training for obedience is to train your dog to respond to your command willingly and quickly every time you issue it. Dog obedience training is basically communication between you and your dog so that your dog understands how you want it to respond to you. At times, you will realize that training your dog is more about training yourself the owner. This is because your attitude, patience and effort towards dog training for obedience are so critical to the training success. One more tip for you is that dog training for obedience is an ongoing process.

The ideal dog obedience training method is using a consistent reward and punishment system as dogs respond well towards this especially when they are young puppies. Dog obedience training starts first with sit and come training. Make sure that it pays attention to your commands and not get distracted. Your dog needs to know that you are serious about the training and command. Do not merely threaten to punish it. Carry it out consistently so that he/she senses you are serious about the dog training session. The same goes for rewarding your dog for executing each command. Other basic dog obedience training techniques include training your dog to stay and keep down.

Dog training for obedience of course includes other more advanced commands such as off leash training. You will find a fair bit of information online. On top of these, you can find a good dog obedience training school for your pet. But be sure to use only Certified Pet Dog Trainers as they are professionally trained to handle most dogs.

Dog training for obedience is something you should begin from the very day your pet dog arrives at your doorstep. It is not something you can procrastinate or delay as your dog would quickly form its habits. It can become difficult down the road to change and correct any dog behavior problems like excessive barking, chewing etc as they stay longer at your home. Remember that dog obedience training is an excellent way of communicating and building friendship with your best friend. It also ensures he/she is under control and safe for the whole family.

Dog training for obedience need not be tedious and challenging. Find out more useful tips through the recommended websites at my dog obedience training website.

It has been a few weeks now since you took your puppy home but up to this time, he eliminates inside your house. You take him out for a walk but he still pees in your house that it starts to smell like his comfort room. Yes, puppy house training is frustrating.

Experts advice you to take your dog for a walk before sleeping and you do that but you still find a wet floor every time you wake up in the morning. They suggest that you lay down papers around but the dog seems to really like the floor and choose places where you simply did not put paper. You are disappointed now that you cannot teach the dog or that the dog is too slow. Both of your efforts may seem to be vain but do not give up yet. Think and evaluate how you are doing with the puppy house training.

Keep evaluating your performance as I tell you the secret of successful puppy house training. It is simple and actually the general rule of instilling discipline. The magic word is consistency.

You have to teach your dog that the inside of the house is not his peeing area. If you are awarding "cookies" as positive reinforcement, give it only if he performed the command right. No buts and excuses. The key to successful puppy house training is a combination of consistency, patience and discipline of pet and owners alike. Consistency does not mean you be cruel if he cannot absorb what you are teaching. It actually goes hand in hand with the patience to keep on repeating something until eventually it will get through your dog.

Sometimes, it is hard to be consistent or to be firm with your order; but, if you will contradict it, the dog will just get confused. Just stick with the secret of puppy house training - Consistency.

It is fun having a dog at home because you get to play with it. This will be especially beneficial if you live alone. The home environment would not be as lonely because your pet could serve as a wonderful distraction. If you own a guard dog, you also would not have to worry much about your security. These dogs will bark at the sight of strangers so you would be alerted.

However, there are a couple of problems pet owners encounter. Most of the time, dogs could be ill mannered and would refuse to follow your orders. This is not true for all dog breeds but for most, you would really need proper training for your dog.

This does not mean that you should run to a training school immediately and pay those high fees. There are dog training DVD that you could get online. With these, you would not have to hire expensive trainers for you could do the training yourself. With the help of an actual dog expert, you would be able to teach your dog basic tricks such as "sit" and "stay". There are also dog training DVD that focus on behavior modification. If your dog has been behaving badly, you will get to learn conditioning from these dog training DVD.

One benefit that you would get from these other than the obvious fact that these cost a lot cheaper is you would get to personalize the training. This would be a great activity for you and your pet, helping in building a stronger bond between pet and master.
