When we purchase or adopt a dog, we all want to be able to train them up to be the best pet they can be. Mainly their excellent listening skills to be able to complete tasks asked of them. But training them can be difficult and extremely stressful. When you being training your new pet, you should be aware that it will take time. Training does not happen overnight, it takes a lot of patience. With training our dog, you should remember that positive encouragement works more effectively than shouting when they are wrong. Some ways in which you can positively encourage your pet is, using a high pitched voice, offering them treats as well as cuddles. This will all help them to understand what they are doing ends in a reward. It is also important that you start with simple commands, for example, sit, or returning to the call of their name. This will help them understand you are in control.
