Possibly there is nothing as simple as training a dog, you just have to know how to do it correctly.

Before continuing, we would like to make it very clear that it is not necessary to do it during the training, because if we commit the mistake of mistraining our mascot, it will cost us double or triple to re-train it correctly. Let's see what mistakes we should never commit:

Never shout, scold or hit your dog. Physical or psychological punishment is not effective, it is more than proven and it is cruelty. He'd never do it to you.
Never despair, patience is the mother of all sciences and the training of a dog takes time, you must have a lot of patience.

Don't use choke or torture collars, it's an unnecessary cruelty. There are a thousand effective ways to train a dog and none of them are done by punishment or torture.
Never use different ways to address him, always call him by name and then give him the order.

We must begin the sessions after having made a long walk with our dog, it is founded that has been vented, that has run, played and done their necessities before starting any training session, especially if it is of an active race how the Raza Dobermans or Pitbull. A dog that has not Desfogado will never learn correctly, because it simply will not concentrate.

To perform the training sessions we must choose a quiet place, where no other dog distracts us, or there are intense noises or constant passage of people. We need some intimacy so that our pet learns as much as possible and concentrates.

We must bring prizes to reward our dog when doing well the exercises, biscuits for dogs, pieces of sausages or bread, can be a perfect prizes. Pampering and cuddling are also good prizes to complement with the prizes in the form of food.


Prizes to educate a dog

When our dog does a good exercise, we will congratulate him with enthusiasm. Well done! Way to go! All right, Tobby! Etc... We will give you a cookie or a piece of sausage as a prize and caress you. He must know that we are happy because he has done well, it is fundamental.

When our dog does the exercise wrong, we will simply return to the initial posture and begin the exercise again. When you get to the part where you make the mistake, we'll just say it in a firm voice. There is no need to shout or punish him, nor will we give him any prize.

The training sessions should not last more than half an hour, if we exceed half an hour, we must play for a while not less than fifteen minutes before re-starting the training session. Never exceed the daily time of training, we do not want nor should we stress them.

In this article we will not teach how to use our dog for self defense, it is an unnecessary risk that people without experience teach such dangerous exercises to dogs. If you want to teach your dog personal defense exercises, you should go to a professional trainer, yes or yes. There's no excuse for you not to, if you wrongly teach your dog defense exercises, it will be a catastrophe.

During the training sessions we must exercise a single order until we learn it correctly, we can not teach you a thousand things, not even two things in a session, we must go step by step, day by day.

We must always use the same order for each exercise, if one day we teach you to sit with the order of "sit", we can not change it the next day or the following week for "sit", we must always keep the same orders.


How to teach our dog to sit in a simple way?

Once you follow all the previously commented guidelines and located in a quiet place where to start the training session, we will see how to teach our dog to sit down.

We will not place in front of our dog, with the left hand we hold it by the collar gently, with the only intention that it does not leave and remain by our side. With the right hand we will press on his back, at the height of the ass, so that the fold his hind legs and feels. As we make pressure with the right hand and sit, we will give you a firm voice once the order you want for that exercise, for example "sit" or "sit".

When you sit down, we will release and congratulate you, give you a prize (cookie or piece of sausage) and caress a little. We must repeat this exercise in a constant way until our dog feels with just listening to the order, when we say "sit" or "sit" he should do it alone, without having to press him on the back with the right hand.

It's not a simple job, we may need a few days to get it done effectively. It is important that the days that there is no training, repeat this order at home for example, before giving you dinner or petting. It is a positive and indirect way of reminding you of what we have done in the training session.

With the passing of days, he will do only the exercise, it is then time to take the next step: to stay seated until we give you the order to get up.

We will do the sitting exercise with the order of "sit" or "sit" and when the dog has sat down, we will move slowly away from him, without turning his back. When he gets up to go to us, he chistaremos with the "No!" Order and we will tell him he feels again.

We must repeat this step until he sits down and we can get away from him a couple of meters, without him getting up. We'll do it progressively, we will ask you to feel and we will walk away half a meter, ask you to come with the order "come" or "here" to approach us and we will reward, congratulate and cherish. When you learn to do this right, we will repeat away a little more, like a meter. When you do it right, we'll walk away a foot and a half and so on until you learn to sit still, even if you're five or ten feet away.

The correct realization of this exercise can take several weeks, especially in races a little stubborn like Pitbull dogs, you have to be patient and persevering. Do the exercises calmly and if our dog does not learn to do well, it is not his fault, but because surely we are not giving the instructions correctly.

Before repeating the exercise we must ask you to get up completely and start from the beginning, give you the order to sit and repeat the process.

How to teach our dog to walk on our side?

We will need to tie our dog with a short leash, no more than a metre long. We will begin to walk in the area intended for training with care that our dog never tries to go ahead of us. When you try, we will give a turn of 180 º so that we take a new course, this disorients a little by making it attentive to us.

We will give trips to medium-strong rhythm, giving turns of 90 º or 180 º unexpectedly. If our dog tries to go ahead of us, we will give a turn of course so that it has to vary and to loosen the belt to follow. You can see all the techniques recommended in our publication how to teach to walk your dog.

This type of training is possibly one of the most complicated, many dogs have a hard time to take a walk correctly, but when they get it, it is a real pleasure to walk with them.

There are also special "anti-pull" harnesses, which will facilitate this training task if our dog is excessively euphoric.


How to teach our dog to go to our call?

This technique is one of the simplest, is to deceive our beloved pets with prizes, is really simple. When our dog is a little away from us, we will take out a prize and hold it with his hand so that he sees it, while we call him and give him the order to come.

It is not enough to call him by name, but we must give him the order to come, for example if called "Tobby", we must show him the prize and say aloud to hear "Tobby ven!" or "Tobby here!". When you see the prize will come running, when this next to us give the prize and congratulate you enthusiastically. If our dog sees us and does not come, is that he does not like the prize you are giving.... try a small piece of sausage, they usually like a lot.

We must practice this technique for several weeks, after this time, we will give you prize only in an interleaved way, so that when we call you sometimes have a prize and sometimes not. Although always, we should always congratulate you when you come to our side to fulfill the order. In time we will be able to completely withdraw the prizes in this exercise but we should always congratulate you.


How to train a puppy?

Puppies don't need to be trained, because they just think about playing and having fun. It is only from five or six months, when we can start to train them little by little and in a very smooth and playful. We must never force them or stress them. The ideal age to start training a dog is from one year of age, in a gentle and progressive way.

Puppies only need to play and run, interact and socialize with other dogs and little else... let them be happy, there will be time to learn. However, when you see them doing something wrong like biting people (they will obviously play it), you can chistarles with the "No!" order to start learning little by little.
