Many people feel that dog training is a challenge. They try to prepare for the many obstacles they feel lay ahead. The good news is, dog training can be an easy, fun, and positive experience. Just follow these 7 effective dog training tips, and you will see.

1. When training your dog, give him praise when he does it right. When you show your dog that you are happy with his efforts, he will be more inclined to want to please you. As you progress and reach harder milestones, you may want to wait a little longer to give the praise. In the beginning, however, it is good to do it right away.

2. Use treats. After he has worked hard, has done a few tricks, to sit or to lay on command, or has been a good sport, it is fair to reward your dog with a treat. Like people, dogs need incentive to work.

3. Do not yes or hit your dog. This is extremely ineffective and will not produce the results you want. Like people, dogs respond negatively to such abuse, and it will more than likely increase the chances that your dog will rebel. This will only make for a frustrated owner and an angry dog.

4. Be firm but gentle. Give the commands firmly while gently moving your dog into the position that you want him. The firm but gentle tactic shows your dog that you are the boss: but, it also shows that he is loved.

5. Train your dog for a couple of minutes each day: but, do not go for too long as it will overwork the dog and cause him to feel stressed. Like people, dogs need repetition in order to grasp a new concept and can become stressed when overworked. Not to mention, if you work with your dog a couple of minutes a day, this will strengthen your friendship.

6. Help your dog to associate action with command. The way this can be done is as soon as you see your dog sit, say the word sit. Do the same thing if he is lying down. This will help him to know that these certain words are associated with these actions. Do this until he gets the hang of it.

7. Do not pay attention to your dog if he is misbehaving. If you give him attention only when he is running with toilet paper in his mouth, getting in the trash, or causing any other mischief, then this is letting him know that he can get your attention when he is doing something bad.

When you train your dog, this allows your dog to feel safe and secure. Also, when your dog knows you are his leader, this can prove to be a happy environment for both you and your dog!

Help answer the question about Dog Trainning

Help! I have never had a dog before and my husband and I just got a mutt. I need help trainning her…?
We are trying to potty train her. But I hate leaving her in a kennel all day. I feel so bad, also she takes forever to go to the bathroom outside. What is the BEST way to potty train a dog and how to I teach her to go outside and do her thing before she plays. Some mornings Its cold I just want to see her do her thing and then I can go back inside and let her play outside. I was thinking maybe take her out for 5 min's and then bring her back in for 30 mins….sooner or later she will know that outside time is not long so she better go if she has to go. Do you think thats a good idea? What are some really good websites to look at. Also, How do I teach her not to jump on people and not to bark at everyone she sees.

This is her and my husband playing with her ball: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPOIPT4uRvM
I said potty train..I mean house brake (remember I said I've never had a dog)
Thanks LoveMyLab….I know this is the best way to go. I just hate hearing her cry and bark! She loves to play. I just hate leaving her in there all day.
Sorry Dove, I live in Okinawa Japan, no petsmart here.
