How to ‘Target Train’ your dog so he/she keeps their attention on you.
Brain Training For Dogs is the newest, funkiest most tail-waggingest dog training course around! These 21 fun and simple games are designed to transform your dog from brainless to brilliant!
First up is 'Wooing', where you will move a treat across the floor in front of your dog. Every time you dog moves its head in the same direction, you will give them a treat. If they don't move its head in the same direction, you'll have to go back a step and try again. Keep doing this 'game' for as long as you want to get your dog to move its head in the correct direction. Once they've moved their head in the correct direction for 5 or more times, you win!
Next is 'Tug', where you'll use a rope that is attached to a collar on your dog's neck. You want to have the rope about waist high, so you'll need to pull the rope with all your might while your dog looks in your direction with the rope taut. When they let go of the rope, give them a treat and lots of praise. Try tugging the rope towards you with your body, instead of pulling with your arms to see what gets your dog to let go of the rope.
Now we have 'Obedience', where you want to put your hand on your dog's chest. You want to say 'come' and when they move their head towards you, you want to say 'good', give them a treat and lots of praise. Try saying 'come' every time you give them a treat for coming in the correct place.
Now we have 'Good Doggie', where you want to tell your dog to sit. You want to stand over your dog while saying 'sit' and when they move, you want to say 'good', give them a treat and lots of praise. Try saying 'sit' instead of 'sit now', when they are already sitting, to see what gets your dog to sit. You have now just started the obedience training for your dog.
Once you're done with the obedience training for your dog, you want to try the agility training for your dog. You want to put the agility training equipment on your dog and you want to throw the ball towards the goal and when the ball goes towards the goal, you want to say 'Good Doggie', when they do sit and when the ball is in the air, you want to say 'Good Obedient Dog'. You should try to get your dog to do the agility training at least once a week with plenty of treats and lots of praise.
Training for your dog should always be fun and easy. The important thing is you dog knows it is to obey, not to be bossed around, and that you are the leader, not him.
Your dog's obedience training should also be fun and easy. If it isn't, you need to work on your dog's obedience training to make it more fun and easy.
The end result of obedience training for your dog should be a dog that obeys and is obedient regardless of any stimulus that the dog may be exposed to or the challenge that the training presents. If you're successful, your dog should be able to carry out what you tell it to do and should be able to sit when you tell it to sit, and when you say sit and when you say sit.
Your dog should be able to go back to its home when you tell it to, your dog should know when you tell it to go and when you tell it to come, your dog should know the sit command when you tell it to sit and when you tell it to sit and stay, and your dog should know the heel, sit, and stay when you tell it to sit, heel, sit, and stay, and when you tell your dog to sit and when you tell your dog to sit and stay.
These are some of the essential commands that you may be wanting your dog to know. But there are other useful commands you may also be wanting your dog to know. It depends on what your dog is like. There are dogs that don't really need to know about loyalty, being the boss, being the dog in the house, and some other useful commands, but then there are other dogs that really need to know these ones.
And when you have decided which commands are most important to teach your dog and when you will do each of the training, it's time to start the training.
How many training sessions to you choose to do? This is a personal choice. There is no one-size-fits-all rule. Some people prefer to do longer training sessions. Others prefer to get through their training quicker, but this is up to you.
One of the most important things is to be consistent with your commands. This is so that your dog will know that you are enforcing a command, and when you issue a command, your dog obeys. You can use hand signals or verbal commands, but if you are not consistent with your commands, your dog may get it wrong and end up doing what you don't want them to do.
There is no point in issuing a command if you don't intend to follow through with it. So make sure that you say it in the same way every time. It may sound obvious, but if you issue a command and do not mean to follow through with it, then you are not being consistent with your commands.
You need to be prepared to be consistent with your commands. You need to issue a command, and if you don't intend to follow through with it, then you are just creating confusion for your dog.
If you have decided you will do several training sessions, you should now determine how many sessions you will do. This is up to you. You may decide to go for a short session and work on a single command, or you may decide to go for a longer session and work on a series of commands, and work your way up to longer sessions.
In a long training session, you are training your dog to do more than one thing at once, so you must be prepared to do multiple things at once. If you only do one thing at a time, then you will create confusion for your dog and it will not know what to do. The best way to ensure that you issue the same command every time is to make sure that you use the same hand signals or verbal commands. If you issue the command with different tones, you may create a misunderstanding between you and your dog. The dog will not understand this as it understands the tone and commands, so you will have an unhappy dog who does not understand what is going on. If you do this in a long training session, your dog will get confused and not know what to do as it hears different tones. If you issue the command with a different tone every time, you will be sure to train your dog to issue a command with the same tone every time.
You may also wish to go for training sessions which last for a long time, and train your dog to do different tricks for a long time. You must make sure your dog does the commands in a way that it is also familiar with. That is to say, you must also make sure that your dog understands the trick, because you will also want to make sure your dog knows how to perform the trick after you have accomplished the command.
If you are training your dog to do a trick for a long time, you must make sure your dog gets better at the tricks as the training continues, but you must also keep training sessions short. You must also make sure your dog can perform the trick again the next day, since you do not want your dog to get bored with the trick and start to resent the training sessions as well.
If you are in the habit of training your dog, then you do not need to worry about your dog not understanding commands. You can be sure that your dog will get trained for a long time so that it understands commands. Remember that, if you train your dog intelligently, you can get away from the dog not understanding commands. This is a good thing, because this is something you would not want your dog to experience.
