Labrador Training: Make It Fun Both For You And Your Canine Companion

By Kate Truman


Inviting a dog into your life can be one of the most amazing and gratifying things you do with your life. You'll help a dog by providing him the love and attention that he needs while providing you with an awesome companion to share your life with. To create a happy life with your new buddy, you must ensure that he is properly-trained and knows the best way to react to commands given to him. While it is necessary, training does not need to be boring. These Labrador training guidelines were written to help you enjoy your new friend while learning.

Understand that training your canine friend to do tricks should not only be fun for you but fun for your pet too. Do not pressure him to learn tricks if he's not having fun learning them. It is possible to tell if he is enjoying them by gauging his pleasure from your praise after he effectively completes a trick.

It's entertaining teaching your dog how to perform tricks. To teach your furry friend the "paw" command, choose a time when he's fed, relaxed and calm. First, stretch your hand to your dog's paw. You may need to pick up his paw up when you first begin. Regardless of how he acts, give him a treat. Pretty soon he'll know that if he extends his paw, he will get a treat. In no time, he'll simply give you his paw on his own.

In Labrador training, keep your targets and expectations for your furry pet reasonable. Much like when you attempt to learn something new, your canine isn't going to learn new tricks for the first time you teach him. Different breeds and even different dogs within the same breed may have different levels of receptivity towards training. Setting high goals is only going to cause you to pressure your four-legged friend to learn more quickly and everybody knows that forcing a dog to learn may yield unwanted outcome.

Keep training sessions short to prevent boredom. A training session that lasts more than 15 minutes may not be as effective as you wished it to be. A 10-minute session is preferred and make sure to end the session on a positive note.

Having read this post, you must utilize some of the advice to your Labrador training techniques. In the mean time, there's no need to use every tip you read, you can still come up with your own inspirations and ideas using other people's suggestions.
