Quick Training Tip: Hand Touch
Even though many of us choose to keep our pets elsewhere during house parties, I think a friendly pup adds a special something to any bash. It's very important to have a well-trained pup in these settings . .
Quick Training Tip: Bring It in Public
You've made great strides in pooch's training, so let's test his knowledge in the great outdoors. After all, as well as he may listen to you inside the house all alone, how will he fare with birds, grass, and other people around? Once your pup has mastered the words and you've varied the amount of treats and commands, begin seeing how quickly he'll sit without you saying anything or if he can hold his sit for a couple of seconds before a reward.
Quick Training Tip: Switch It Up
Next up, hold your pup's attention with regular, short sessions! Make training part of your daily routine – even just 10 minutes before breakfast or dinner can go a long way. Once your pup has mastered several commands (at least 85 percent of the time), gradually decrease the treats.
Quick Training Tip: Choose Those Words Carefully
Hooray! You've stocked up on the small snacks, and you're ready to train away! Decide beforehand what command words you want to use.
