Dog Training - How to Raise a Happy Dog Through Effective Dog Training Techniques and Tips

Have you ever seen your dog “smile” at you?

I have four loving dogs that are the greatest addition to the family. They are so much part of my family. That’s why I do a lot of research on dog training besides dog food, because I want the best information that benefits my family and me. I am now sharing these few tips to help dog lovers gain a better understanding in raising a happier dog based on the years of training mine! I truly do believe in, "The more you know, the more you grow!"

Dogs are sociable, lovable, excitable and loyal and that's why we love them! But when they start to pick up undesirable traits such as chewing furniture, biting, not coming when called, barking or running away, it can be a real headache for dog owners.

So, it's important to start training your dog from a very early age so that they will become subdued and more comfortable in a variety of social situations. Here are some tips to help you get started:

Tip 1  Play with your dog daily

Dogs were never meant to spend their entire lives alone in the backyard or anywhere else. Like people, they need companionship to thrive. They need to feel they are welcome and useful members of their pack. And they need to play.

When you return home, tired and needing a rest but your dog is jumping all over you, playing may be the last thing you want to do. But try and see the same situation from your dog's point of view. He's been alone all day and his best friend, his hero, his companion through thick and think just came home. His enthusiastic greeting may be the happiest, most thoughtful and genuinely felt expression of acceptance of you in your entire day. My black Labrador always greets me this way every single day. It’s a great welcome and never fails to wipe the stress of work off my face!

Take your dog for a walk, play tug, fetch, rollover, shake a paw, throw a Frisbee. Spend time every day just playing and you will notice it's not just fun for your dog, it's fun for you too!

If you meet your dog’s emotional need for companionship and play, your dog will feel happy and secure. Discipline problems will be fewer and training easier.

Tip 2  “Catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”-  Use Positive Engagement 

Starting a dog training program doesn’t mean you have to adopt a commander stand and start yelling at your dog every time he does something wrong.  Start a positive engagement. Reward him when he does something right. I give my dogs tasty treats and complement with lots of praises and petting every time he behaves well.

Your dog will soon learn that good behavior is rewarded. Just like humans, dogs respond best to praise and encouragement!

Tip 3  Your dog can't understand your words but he can some command and understand your tone.

One of the most common mistakes amongst dog owners is to yell at their pets when they're barking incessantly. Why doesn't this work? When you start yelling at them, it thinks that you're "barking" too, therefore reinforcing the behavior that barking is okay.

Your dog can't understand your words. He can learn a few commands and understand your tone.

To solve an incessant barking problem, try using a spray bottle of water. When your dog begins barking uncontrollably, say the command "quiet" softly and give him a small spray of water. Eventually, they will learn that "quiet" means he should stop barking or he'll get sprayed with water.

Another method involves ignoring your dog completely when he's barking. Sometimes dogs bark because they're bored or want attention, so it's best to ignore this behavior. Once the dog stops, reward him with a treat. Because they may be barking out of boredom, sometimes a simple distraction, like turning on the radio or throwing a toy, will work.

Normally though, dog training is most effective when you use play, rewards and positive engagements to make him feel happy and secure, not scolding or yelling. Remember, they are in many ways like human, and they have feelings too!
