Precious Paws

1. Take small steps : First you need to have a clear idea about the type of behaviour that you want from your dog and then start teaching him/her. Generally dogs enjoy their training sessions and love them when they recieve a reward for that. For example, you can give treats to your dog as a reward after a succesfull training. Also, if your dog is not getting what you are asking of him/her, then start giving him/her rewards for small steps.

2. Try to be consistent : Detailed training are generally good for dogs. For example, "Sit down", "Stand up", "Lay down", these are all different cues for your dog. So, it will be better if you use exactly the same command for a particular behaviour. This will help your dog to understand what you are asking.

3. Show positivity towards them : Whenever they will do something that you asked for succesfully, give them cuddles and pet them, give them treats. This will make them happy and they will try to obey your words next time to get those rewards again.

4. Do seek help from professionals if needed : Dogs may sometimes show some complex behaviours which can only be solved by a professional. At those times, do take them to some expert or else it may get worse.

1. DO NOT give them toxic foods : Whenever you are getting a dog, make sure that you know all kinds of foods you will be providing to your dog. Do not give them anything toxic or which are not good for dogs. Do not give them extra food, they should be served with a proper amount of food everyday.

2. DO NOT treat them in a violent way : If your dog is not getting what you are asking then DO NOT beat them or yell at them. Try to make him/her understand. If needed, try another day, but DO NOT scold them. This can either make them ferocious or can shut them down completely.

3. DO NOT have a long training session : Most of the dogs can do best till 10 to 15 minutes. So, DO NOT have your training sessions go longer than 20 minutes. Even five minutes of training can be very effective, especially if you are able to do it multiple times per day.
