Breaking your dog is a tedious process, but worth it in the end! I have personally trained and trained several dogs in the past and given advice to family and friends to correct inappropriate behavior.  Communicate with your pet. Show authority.  Your pet needs to know that you are the “alpha” of the house. Alpha is like the leader of the pack. A dog should always listen to its owners. Correct inappropriate behaviors as soon as possible so that your puppy does not become dominant. Be wary of behaviors such as fighting, biting and growling. Allowing such behavior will make your puppy aggressive and dominant. Teach your dog basic commands. o Sit, stay and come are great basic commands for a new puppy to start with. This will essentially make the break-in process easier, faster and more efficient. o Many dogs can easily become overexcited and act on their own instincts. Basic commands can help you stop inappropriate behaviors such as running away from the house and staying away from certain people or objects. o Forgetting to teach basic commands was one of my biggest mistakes. For example, my dog ​​had somehow escaped the house and started running around my neighborhood because he hadn't learned the commands "sit" and "stay." Read your dog's behaviors. o Wagging the tail is a sure sign of happiness! o A scared or sad dog will have its head down and its tail between its legs. Watch for these signs at all times, as it may mean your dog is injured and needs emergency care. These signals can also mean that another human or dog has terrorized your pet, which should be corrected immediately. o Check for signs to go to the toilet. Dogs will walk around sniffing different furniture and the floor for a good p...... middle of paper......, reward your dog as much as possible each time he enters the crate. This will teach your dog that being inside the crate is a reward, not a punishment. o It is not necessary to close or lock the crate until it is time to leave the dog unattended. The door should be left open for your dog to enter and exit. When it is time to leave your dog unattended, reward him quickly and leave immediately. Locking the register is a sign that it is time for you to leave and that you will come back later. Crate training is like a personal den. o Crate trained dogs will feel like their den is a personal sanctuary. It's like a human having their own room. Dogs should feel comfortable and safe. It is a place to run to when they are scared, sick and tired. Dogs should not soil their own cage. Crates should be seen as a reward, not a punishment.
