Dog's Best Friend's Daily Training Tip ~ Monday, September 13

Make Training a Part of your Pups' Everyday Life!

For example, have them sit every time they get a meal or treat, when you're just hanging out and they are in another room, practice recall by calling them to you happily, rewarding them with a treat when they get to you,when you are cuddling, pet their paws, tails (gently), ears, praising them while you do it. Letting them know that petting these sensitive areas is a very good thing (treat them too, if you have one near by).

Keep up on their training, and you'll have a happy, well adjusted dog for the rest of their lives!

Dog's Best Friend's Daily Training Tip

Attention Exercise

Have you ever seen how a really well-trained dog looks at his/her
human? It’s like two people in love, staring each other in the eye
like no one else exists.

This is because they have an extremely strong bond. That dog
will do anything to please their human and not because they’re
scared or intimidated, but because they want to!

Building a bond with your dog is the foundation to a well-
adjusted, well-behaved and happy dog. This simple exercise will
help start the process of building a connection with your canine
companion.

1) Hold a yummy treat up to your nose and call your dog’s name.

2) When she looks you in the eye, immediately give her the treat and
a nice soft “good” or “yes.”

Practice 5-10 Minutes two times per day everyday.
