It takes effort to train an animal. You need to give the animal a dynamic, enjoyable environment while continually keeping an eye out for both good and unpleasant actions and responding to each appropriately.

Additionally, you must train yourself to be patient. A lot of the time, the procedure might appear to be circular. Two steps ahead and one step backward...

Or it might take place without you even realizing it. Namely, we are inadvertently training our dogs all day long. We instruct them every time we engage with them.

The 'operant conditioning' theory explains why this accidental training occurs: conduct results in a reward, which prompts repetition of the activity. Rewards can be different - the more they want treats or pets or attention or a certain toy, the easier they are to train.

And that's all nice and clear. But how can we know how dogs see some of our actions? How do they interpret our tone, body language, and the words we are saying?

Well, that's where the problem lies. For instance, your dog is barking and it's annoying you and the neighbors. You tell it to stop in a high authoritative voice.

Well, the chances are that the dog will wrongly interpret your whole behavior. It may think that you are condoning the barking and joining it.

How can you teach the dog to tell the difference? People on Quora are sharing some tips on dog training, and we are sharing the most interesting ones. Take a look:

Simple words

German shepherd owner says:

I have a german shepherd. It’s been 5 years with him and he is a well-behaved dog now.

No dog is already well-behaved, my German Shepherd was also like this too. I slowly started to train him. And some things that I kept in mind and used.

1. CHOOSE A NAME

Use a name for your dog. This is not an important tip we all love to name our pet first. My dog's name is rocky.

2. Teach her recall

A recall is one of the most crucial tools in a dog owner's inventory, especially if you walk your pet off-leash. Having your pet come when you call her is useful not only for when you need her to come to you when you're inside, but it may also assist in keeping her secure and prevent her from becoming lost. By teaching recall, they will know you as a Guardian.

3. CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRAINING STRATEGY

In terms of understanding yourself and training your dog, the "correct" technique is the one that makes you feel most at ease.

There are lots of ways to train your dog, just as there are various parenting strategies.

Even if you've decided on a broad strategy (reward training is my personal favorite), there are other sub-methods to explore.

( i used a course)

I believe that a lot of dog training issues stem from our forgetting that dogs don't speak "human" unless we teach them to.

4. KEEP IT SIMPLE IN YOUR LANGUAGE

To put it another way, your dog won't be able to "sit," "stay," or "come" until you completely educate them on the meanings of those words.

When you're just learning, stick to just saying the command. "If you want a cookie, you must sit," not "If you want a cookie, you must sit."

Your dog may eventually learn to select the command from a series of "blah blah blahs," but for now, keep it simple.

Praise the dog for coming back

Be careful what you do and when

Don't punish the dog

Choose the name wisely

Toilet training

Dog Deference Plan

Teach basic commands early:

Sit, stay, come, leave it...

Here is a list of things to do

And things you shouldn't do:

The key to a good dog is a well-trained dog. When you train together, an unspoken language builds between you through words, hand signals, whistles, and other methods.

Proper training and socialization are among your dog's basic needs. It's important to start training your dog as soon as possible to sit, stay, come, go to their crate, and go potty outside.
