Dog Training Tips
Jack Russell
Considered "man's best friend," dog training professionals have
been disseminating more knowledge on how to make this animal
live up to that title.
Here are tips that one should keep in mind in training his dog
more easily.
Digging Behavior
Dogs, as social beings, consider digging as their outlet when
they are lonely. Nutrient deficiency may also cause this
digging. Also known as pica, they sometimes eat the dirt they
dig to supplement their health. Spending more time with your dog
and giving him a health check will keep his digging behavior at
bay.
Potty Training
For dog potty training, a reward-based method will prove to be a
very rewarding endeavor. Giving it a bit of dog food when it
performs a good potty behavior will make it easier for it to
remember the good thing that it did.
Repeat and Repeat
Considerable repetitions will give your dog ample time to grasp
the command. Consistency is the name of the game. After doing
enough repetitions, not helping him with the routine will test
if the dog really got it. Three successful attempts in a row is
a fine gauge in defining if it's just a fluke or if the dog has
actually understood the drill.
Direct and Correct
Communicate to the dog how the drill should be. Be clear on what
you want the dog to do. Just commanding the dog without
correcting him if he did it wrongly is not advisable.
Timing is Gold
Timing means that you should consider the age of the dog when
considering how to deal with him. It is best to train dogs while
they are still puppies. Always remember that "old dogs can't
learn new tricks" saying.
