Most Typical Mistakes During Siberian Husky Training

By Melissa Sanders


Dog training is a great way to spend time with your canine pet, connect with him and get a well behaved dog out of the deal too. Your Siberian Husky must know who the alpha is in the house and Siberian Husky training can do that. This article can help you decide and deal with dog training mistakes you may run into along the way.

One common mistake canine owners make is utilizing numerous command phrases or terms for one behavior. Keep in mind that when training your pet for particular commands, do not combine pleasantries and other extra phrases. Say the command word sharply and alone. Your furry pet does not understand words such as "please" and will not be upset at your lack of manners. Keeping the commands alone and clear makes it less difficult for your pet to understand and obey. Consistency is not limited to command terms alone. You also need to make sure that everybody in the house knows the same commands you've taught your four-legged companion. All physical commands should be given the same way among members of the family. Quite simply, your "sit" command should look the same whether your sister or your mother requests your four-legged pet to do it.

Many training errors have something to do with rewards and punishment. Dogs must not be punished for coming when called. A good recall command is necessary, not only for obedience, but for your dog's safety as well. It may seem obvious that calling your four-legged pet to you for punishment is bad, however, when you're mad at your furry companion who has darted out of the yard or refuses to come for a bath, it is easy to forget. By keeping their "come" command associated with positive encounters, you can be assured that next time he gets away from you, he will reliably return when called.

During Siberian Husky training, you should be aware not to make the mistake of rewarding your dog's bad behavior. If your canine pet is rewarded, he will think he has done something good which will cause him to continuously repeat the undesirable behavior. Thus, if your pet dog misbehaves, never give him a treat, a belly rub or some other type of reward. When rewarding good behavior, do so from time to time. Rewards such as treats and too much praise can be useful tools when training your four-legged pet. Just be careful that you don't condition him to expect this each time he does what he's told. Reward him for following instruction, but do so at random.

After reading this article you have to be a bit more ready to tackle the task of training your dog. Consider the tips and tricks you have learned from this article and apply them to a basic routine that is the same every time you work with your canine friend.
