Basics Dog Training - Commands
Training Your Dog to "give"
Basics dog training your dog to release whatever he has in
his mouth on your command helps to stop him becoming an
aggressive and possessive dog. Nature dictates that
whatever he finds is his.This is just normal dog behavior.
This is where you use obedience dog training. Whether it
be his favourite toy or a juicy bone he has to be taught
to drop it when told, with out growling or bearing his
teeth.
To do this is quite simple using your basics dog training
method.
First you need to put his lead on so he can't run off. Then using
a new toy play with him. When he has the toy in his mouth,
in a stern voice say "give" or "drop it" whilst also offering
him his favourite treat. He should drop the toy and take the treat.
When he does praise him again and again.
If during the basics dog training he growls when you try
to take the toy from him just jerk the lead and repeat
the command "give" or "drop it". He will then
realise that a growl means a jerk and dropping it gives
him a treat and plenty of praise.
Carry on playing with the toy and repeat the process
a number of times over the next few days.
After a few sessions the dog will start to drop it without
hesitation knowing that he will receive his treat.
Each time you practice this basics dog training method
replace the toy with something more desirable to your dog.
Always using loads and loads of praise when he drops it.
Eventually you will be able to give him a really juicy
bone and he will drop it on your command similar to the
professional dog training you see on the television.
You need to practice dog care at all times. When you give
him a bone make sure it is a knuckle bone as this will not
splinter as he tries to knaw it. Be wary of smaller bones
always try to use premium dog food. Never feed him chicken
bones as he will easily choke on them. Dogs love to chew,
encourage this by giving them premium dog food chews.You
can get in various different shapes sizes and flavours.
Using easy basics dog training one step at a time your
dog will soon become your fully trained faithful best
friend. Remember your dog wants you to be his leader.
You can achieve this by giving him clear instructions
a different command word for each situation and heaps
and heaps of praise when he does right.
