Dog Training Tip ARTICLES

- Dog Training Tip : Training Your Dog The “Down” Command For A Dog Show - Training your dog for a dog show means many hours of detailed training instructions. One of the most basic of commands that the judges look for is the simple “Down” command. When you give the Down signal, your right hand and arm should be raised quickly. Show your dog the palm of your right hand with your arm just about shoulder high. Many handlers give their dogs poor signals and wonder why their dogs fail to respond. Don't bend your wrist backward over your shoulder, as the dog will ignore this type of signal. Get your hand in plain view where your dog can see it.
- Dog Training Tip : Training The “Down” Command To An Overly-Submissive Dog
- The “Down” command is so important that there is no room for any error. There are three types of dogs that will overreact to down training and will have to be handled carefully: 1) Dogs that are over-submissive; 2) The nervous dogs, &; 3) Dogs that are dominant and aggressive.
- Dog Training Tip Training the “Down” Command To A Dominant Dog - A dominant dog is one who becomes unsure when made to change his mood. Since his response to resistance is straightforward, he is compelled to assert himself. He'll push back when he feels the left hand on his shoulder blade and will probably growl. Since he's stressed, he won't show any interest in the food, so any type of ingestion other than a snap at your hand or the lead isn't possible.
- Dog Training Tip : The Relationship Between Stress And Training Your Dog - When you train your dog, you cannot prevent him from experiencing some stress, but you can keep it in a level where he can still learn. All learning is stressful. You must recognize the signs of stress and when you should end the training. When your pet reaches the point where he is no longer able to learn, all of his actions will be the result of random, redirected, or displacement behaviors and will not be committed to memory. Even though he may respond to a command, his feeling of anxiety will be such that he will not retain what you are trying to teach him.
- Dog Training Tip : The Perfect Location To Train Your Dog - In the beginning, you will want to train your dog in an environment that has few distractions. You want to be the most interesting game in the room in order for your dog to pay attention to you. Indoors is definitely better than outdoors, because you can't control the outdoor environment. Joggers, kids playing, cars, and other dogs are just a few of your dog's favorite things that may outrank you in competition for his attention.
- Dog Training Tip : The Canine Good Citizen: 5 Dog-Distraction Tests - One of the main goals of the Canine Good Citizen test is to demonstrate that the handler is in control of the dog under conditions likely to be encountered on an almost daily basis, such as people and dogs engaged in a variety of activities. You will have to demonstrate that your pet responds to the basic commands of Sit and Heel in real-life settings. These conditions are distractions, and five of the ten tests for the Canine Good Citizen involve the dog's reaction to a distraction.
- Dog Training Tip : Taking A Joyride With Your Dog, But Without The Mess! - Not many dogs suffer from true motion sickness (ranging from excessive drooling to vomiting.) In most cases, a dog who gets carsick has developed a negative association with riding in the car. It is likely that the dog who gets carsick doesn't go for many rides other than going to the vet. We might compare his reaction to that of a child who, every time he gets in the car, goes to the doctor for a shot. It wouldn't take long before that child, or your dog, associates the car with an unpleasant experience.
