Having a well behaved, well mannered dog is a great joy and pleasure. While some dogs seem to "naturally" behave themselves and have a good disposition. Others need help. They need behavior dog training.
Allow me to share four time-tested strategies for behavior dog training. I recall these with the acronym "FARR".
1. Flexible
As stated below, as you must assume the function of the "alpha" dog in every case, you must recognize that every dog have their own character and each dog breed features its own qualities. A particular technique that works with one may not help a different dog. Also, whatever causes one dog to misbehave might not be a similar grounds for another dog to misbehave. You should be flexible and prepared to try different ways of behavior dog training to achieve the behavior you want.
2. "Alpha" Dog
Dogs are communal animals. They possess a pack intuition. They look towards the "alpha" dog for supervision. You might have seen that when a handful of dogs are together, the first is the head? After the other dog(s) figure out how to take measures that the "alpha" dog doesn't like, the "alpha" dog may growl and display his/her disapproval. For flourishing dog training in general and behavior dog training in specific, you should be the head. You must handle the role of the "alpha" dog. As an example, say "NO" in an exceedingly hard voice.
3. Reward
Rewarding your dog will give you better and more effective results than punishing your dog. Notice that the stern "NO" mentioned above is not punishment. Punishment is hitting or beating a dog and is not acceptable. Dogs want to please their owners. So when your dog does something right, petting your dog, and giving your dog a treat will encourage more of the same good behavior.
4. Repetition
Dogs learn by repetition - doing the same thing over and over. When your dog does something good, reward your dog. Be consistent. If you reward your dog one time, but not the next, your dog may become confused. Your dog may not understand what you want him/her to do. Was it good behavior the first time? Your dog may not know.
