Hi everyone, welcome to PET TIPS and today I'll be giving you:
Tips on how to get your dog to listen to you.
This is indeed a simple but gradual process and you'll definitely succeed if you follow these steps :
#Step one -Name your dog :giving your dog a name and teaching it it's name is an essential part to ensure your dog gets to listen to you.
To begin, start by getting your dog’s attention through positive reinforcement.Say your dog’s name and then give it a treat. This will help your dog associate its name with a positive reward. After some days, you can change to praising your dog once it begins to respond to it's new name. This is to make sure the positive reinforcement is still there.
For example, When your dog is not paying attention and you say its name, it should turn towards you. In these situation, you can say “yes!” with a nod and give your dog a treat or praise
#Step two - Try and eliminate distractions : Most dogs tend to get distracted easily. Distractions can include noise from the surrounding environment . You can therefore eliminate these distractions easily by settling for more quiet place to train your dog .
#Step three - Work on basic commands : Start with basic commands and try to practice perfecting these. Don't yet proceed to 'ambiguous ' commands as it might confuse your dog.Consider starting with the“sit” command. This is typically an easy one for new dogs to learn, and a good one to build on with other commands.
*the sit command : To do this, try pressing firmly but not too hard on your dogs rear and while you do this, say 'sit!'. After a couple of days of doing this, try it with a hand motion. If the dog listens then kudos as you've successfully you've already taught your dog to sit by listening to you. But if it doesn't listen, it doesn't know the word. Try and repeat the process again. Eventually you'll get your dog to sit without hand motions.
#Step four - Try more advanced commands : Follow these steps again with more advanced commands. As your dog masters one task, move on to another one. This will keep your dog learning, listening to you, and looking to you for more commands. Some advanced commands may include : getting your dog to come to you, getting your dog to roll over, getting your dog to jump, etc. (you can get how to go about these commands from other sites online).
#Step five - practice with your dog severally : don't feel bored or too lazy to practice these commands with your dog regularly. Dogs, like humans might forget these commands if not practiced over time.
N:B - when introducing commands ensure you give treats and praises if your dog eventually gets the command(s).
