-
Can you get someone to train your dog for you?Yes, you can hire someone to train your pup. Programs such as board and train mean the pet can spend a period of time with a trainer to learn skills or personal training is one-on-one coaching over several sessions in which the trainer comes to your home. Both ways help with behavior, then you step in and improve things, but you still need to be actively involved in keeping the coaching at home.
-
What is the first thing you should teach your dog?The initial thing for a dog to learn is basic obedience; and name recognition. Begin with teaching your pup to respond to his or her name, and then build up to basic commands such as “sit,” come,” and “stay.” These fundamentals create trust, sharpen focus and provide a solid backdrop for more advanced coaching in the future. Whenever training your pup, always appreciate him positive reinforcement to keep him motivated.
-
Can I send my dog to be house trained?Yes, you can board and train your dog for house training. In these programs, your dog will stay with a professional trainer whose specialty is potty training, crate routines, and indoor manners. If you’re short on time or have trouble sticking to a consistent exercise routine, it’s a great choice. But for any training to stick, you’ll need to apply the same rules at home when your pup is back. It takes practice to be consistent.
