Dogs love to please. Puppies need to begin their training as soon as possible. It is easier to learn a behavior than to unlearn.
Where you begin training is important. Having too many toys and too much noise can make training difficult. Dogs do get affected by their enviorment.
A person should be chosen for their ability to bound with the dog. If you want more than one person training the dog. Introduce each person slowly. Who ever is going to work with the dog must use the training methods as the other people that are training.
A strong and firm voice should be used during training. Show of affection can go a long way to gaining trust and cooperation. Screaming can show a lack of control. It not only causes a fear response but may be detremental to all the work done.
Be patient. Each dog is an individual and will learn at their own pace.
Consider the breed of dog that your are working with. Some maybe more high strung than others. As an example the border collie is good at agility. Each breed has their own strong points. Use those to your advantage.
Using the correct training method is paramont. There are many methods out there. Each trainer has methods they use more than others. One method is using treats. The way you can decide what method is best for your dog is to try them and see which works best.
Trying to develop a training schedule that works for your dog is important. Do not try to teach too many things at once. The key to success is focusing your effort on one behavior at a time.
Keep in mind the information I have given you. This information can help in encouraging your dog to listen and behave. Do not forget the most important part of the training. The part where you love and enjoy your dog.
