How to Train a Dog to be Well Mannered

How to train a dog to be the well mannered dog you have always wanted. To get
your dog to work for you first you need to find what
motivates them. It could be as
easy as a tasty treat or something your dog wants.

Then your dog needs to understand what you want him to do. You can lure your dog
with food through a behavior you want. As soon as your dog does what you want you
need to
reinforce the behavior with their motivator. Your dog will quickly learn what
you want and the behavior will increase.

This is the basic foundation of how to train a dog and how a dog learns.
Behaviors
that are
reinforced increase. Use this to your advantage when training. Remember if
you
reinforce an unwanted behavior it will also increase.

Your dog will learn if I do
THIS than THAT will happen. Which means if your dog sits
he gets a treat or if the dog sits at the door he gets to go outside.

How does this dog training help to have a well mannered dog? Your dog learns that
he has to
work for everything and if he does he will be rewarded. It is amazing how
easy this principal is and how well mannered your dog will become.

Let me give you some
real life examples of how this works. Your dog sits for dinner
he gets the food. Dog sits for the leash he goes for a walk. Dog waits at the door the
door opens. Dog brings a toy to you for play you ask for sit then play with the dog.
Dog jumps you ignore until dog stop jumping then greet.

As you can see this is not that hard to do but it is important to be
consistent and that
everyone in the family must follow the same training rules.

This is a very easy way to train your dog and it can work with your everyday life. Start
training your dog as soon as possible and you will be on your way to having the well
mannered dog you deserve.
