1. Name before every command (i.e- Brutus, SIT)
2. NO name in corrections.
(You want their name to only be associated with good things, not punishment..so no "Brutus, NO!" or "Brutus, BAD DOG!)
3. Praise after EVERY correction.
(You tell the dog, "NO" and then he stops the bad behaviour, and so should receive praise for obeying)
4. DO NOT repeat your commands!
(If you repeat your commands they will learn they can listen sometimes and other times just do it when they want. Your objective is for the dog to obey on the first time the command is given without hesitation, reguardless of what the dog is doing or what distractions may be about. For instance you say "Brutus, SIT" and he doesn't. You promptly put the dog into a sit and then praise him for sitting "Good SIT Brutus") Never be forceful or harsh. Pressure points can be used to painlessly (and effortlesssly) put your dog on a sit or a down.
5. Do not use training aids or special collars unless absolutely nessesary!! Meaning no halters, choker chains ect. ect.
This isn't because some people think they are harsh, it's because you don't want to use them as a crutch. Brutus (he is a 140lb Great Dane puppy) can be walked anywhere on a plain buckle collar and lead...and that is your objective. |
