Why train my dog?

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you realize it or not you are always training your dog. They learn through your interaction with them and by watching you. I suggest that you use this to create the behaviors you want and allow your dog the freedom to enjoy your company. Enjoying an evening walk, hike in the park, or just hanging out with you each day is the goal of most owners and their dogs too! A well-behaved dog is a welcome companion and guest.

How do I crate train my dog?

IONX ? Cell Lyte FORMULA
Answer Crate training is a great way to help your dog feel comfortable and secure while you are away and will protect your house from damage caused by anxious pups. When you are gone dogs can either sleep or get in trouble. If you limit their options by providing a site where all they can do is sleep, you will save your house and protect your pet from harm. Get a crate of adequate size (large enough to allow your dog to stand and move comfortably) to accommodate your dog.

Professional Dog Training.
Many owners believe that dog training is only for those who wish to compete in obedience trials and competitions. How wrong they are... Unlike "training" our children, we are unable to sit down and explain to our dog why we wish for them to act in a certain way and what the consequences are of their inappropriate behavior. It is necessary to learn how to communicate with your dog and understand how and why they respond.

There are two methods of training. One is to train your dog by showing it how to sit and lay down and then quitting. The other lasts forever. Real training is life long training that starts when the puppy arrives at your home and ends with death.

PETdirect.com.au | Frequently Asked Dog Questions
A well-behaved companion animal is a joy. But left untrained, your dog can cause nothing but trouble. Teaching your dog the basics-"sit," "stay," "come," "down," "heel," "off" and "leave it"-will improve your relationship with both your dog and your neighbours. Start teaching puppies basic sit and stay commands. Use little bits of food as a lure and reward. Puppies can be enrolled in obedience courses when your veterinarian believes they are adequately vaccinated.

Do I have to train my dog to use the door?

Frequently Asked Questions about PetSafe Ultimate Pet Door
When you install the pet door a certain amount of training may be necessary. If you are having a problem getting your dog to use the door, put the dog on one side of the door and yourself on the other side. Then use a snack to lure your dog through the door. It should only take a few times to get your dog use to using the door. If you are still experiencing problems, try propping open the door so your dog can easily access the outside without the flap.

When should I start to train my dog?

Great Companions, Frequently asked questions about our train...
The best answer I can give you is, as soon as possible!! If you are planning on getting a puppy, you should look for and enroll in a puppy class as soon as possible! I normally want to have a puppy have two sets of vaccines (mostly we are concerned with Distemper and Parvovirus) but for some breeds, I’d rather have the puppy in a class, observing, even if they don’t play for the first week or two.

Great Companions, Frequently asked questions about our train...
Forever!! Any time you and your dog are together, one of you is training the other! More seriously, plan on taking your puppy to classes fairly regularly until he’s at least one year of age. For my classes, this might be Puppy Manners, then Foundations, then Beyond the Basics or CGC (Canine Good Citizen).

What equipment do I need to train my dog?

Dog Tricks - Dog Training, Obedience Training, Puppy Trainin...
We recommend a six (6) foot leash, either nylon or leather. We don't recommend flexi or retractable leashes to be used in training. You'll also need a good collar that's fitted properly; we don't want the dog slipping the collar, treats or a toy, and water. Make sure you have an extra dose of patience and a positive attitude. Your dog can sense how tense or relaxed you are and will respond accordingly.

Is it better to train my dog when he's hungry?

Dog Tricks - Dog Training, Obedience Training, Puppy Trainin...
In our opinion, yes. Especially if you're using food treats as reinforcement. When you get into tracking you want the dogs to get their meals on the track. You will also find your dog to be more agile and willing to please in this state.
