Italian Greyhound Training At Home

By Angela Wade


As a new dog owner, you may be overwhelmed with the measure of work it requires to make sure your canine friend is both healthy and well-behaved. This short article goes into detail concerning suggestions specific to your situation, a new pet owner and ways that you can achieve successful Italian Greyhound training.

When training your Italian Greyhound, you must establish a schedule and provide some consistency. It's essential to have a routine and to reinforce the actions you would like the dog to know. By practicing the actions over and over, and providing reinforcement, your dog will begin to learn what he is expected to do.

Your own mood has a great deal to do with your accomplishment in training your furry companion. You must control your feelings so that your four-legged pet gets the right idea from your training. In spite of your dog's overall performance, be free and unreserved with praise when your furry friend does what you want. Conflicted emotions on your part will have an adverse impact on your dog's overall training regimen. Also, you need to be practical about what you expect from your pooch. Be aware that you aren't going to be able to train him overnight. It's going to take a lot of time and hard work to get him to perform the way that you would like him to. It takes longer time to resolve behavior problems like barking but it will happen if you dedicate the time to Italian Greyhound training.

Never compensate undesirable behavior. Many canine owners have difficulty training their pet. When a long training session has ended and there has been no development, they might find themselves appealed to reward their dog anyway. Even if you love your furry friend dearly, never reward his bad or undesirable behavior. When using treats as reward, you may have to try different kinds to find what works for your pup. There are many of different dog treats available on the market but your furry friend has his own tastes and preferences just like others. If a specific treat doesn't seem to get your furry companion encouraged, try something else.

Keeping your dog training sessions shorter is equally important. Note that it's best to have three ten-minute sessions than one thirty minute training session. Your canine companion is not human and he will tend to lose interest immediately and by making sessions shorter, you will make more progress in your training attempts.

If you want to get started with Italian Greyhound training by yourself, you must begin with a great deal of information so you can best understand your dog's responses. All dogs are different and all can be a bit difficult to train if you are not using the right suggestions like these found in this article.
