74. Wear the right clothes and footwear.
You have to consider that when you are training your dog, you would be engaging into certain physical activities with him. Thus, you need to wear the right clothes and footwear for the training session for you and your dog’s safety. Use comfortable footwear that has good traction, so that you won’t end up falling down on your dog.
75. Choose the right time to train your dog.
Some people train their dogs early morning, while others train theirs in the afternoon. In any case though, you can select any time of the day, as long as it is not the time when your dog has just eaten his meal. It is not a good idea to train a dog with a full stomach, since it would lack the energy to perform the activities. Train him an hour or two after his meal time, to maximize the benefits of the sessions.
76. Making sure that your dog is comfortable in going through training.
You need to make sure that your dog is comfortable prior to training him, so that he would respond well. To achieve that, you can let him go out first, to relieve himself, before starting your training session. Aside from that, you can also let him drink a few sips of water, so that he won’t feel thirsty.
77. Avoid games that encourage undesirable behavior.
There are certain games that you and your dog may enjoy, which can promote undesirable behavior. One of which is by playing tug of war with him, since it can encourage him to pull his leash, bite at clothes, and so on. Think about the game that you are about to play with your dog, so that you can ensure that it only encourages good behavior.
78. Effective crate training.
Crate training your dog should be done as soon as you bring him to your house as a puppy. To do it effectively, you need to consider the place where you want to situate the crate, its size, the things that you want to place inside of it, and its bedding. Make sure to place the crate near to you, so that he would be encouraged in going inside. Make the crate as comfortable as possible for your dog, so that he would see it as his own personal place soon.
79. Taking note of important elements in training your dog.
There are important elements that you need to take note of in training your dog. These elements are your body language, your tone inflection, your touch, as well as your scent. Incorporate all of these things in training your dog, so that you would become more effective in it.
80. When to start training at a different place.
It is always best to train your dog only at your own place, especially at the starting point of the program. However, once your dog has become proficient in following certain basic commands, it is time to take him to a different place to continue with the training. By doing this, it would become more fun and exciting to your dog, which can make him respond more.
