Highly not discharge from minden nervously 'dieoff' areas of anatolian her to do, concentrate on teaching your dog what you do want her to do. When your dog does something you like, convince her to do it again by rewarding her with something she loves. You'll get the job done without damaging the relationship between you and your best friend. If You Don't Like the Behavior, Take Rewards Away The most important part of training your dog is teaching her that it pays to do things you like. But your dog also needs to learn that it doesn't pay to do things you 't like. Fortunately, discouraging unwanted behavior doesn't have to involve pain or intimidation. You just need to make sure that behavior you dislike doesn't get rewarded. Most of the time, dog motivations aren't mysterious. They simply do what works! Dogs jump up on people, for example, because people pay attention to them as a result. They can learn not to jump up if we ignore them when they jump up instead. It can be as simple as turning away or staring at the sky when your dog jumps up to greet or play with you. As soon as she sits, you can give her the attention she craves. If you stick to this plan, your dog learn two things at once. Doing something you like reliably works to earn what she wants and doing things you 't like always results the loss of what she wants. Control Consequences Effectively As you teach your dog what you do and 't want her to do, keep the following guidelines mind: Consequences must be immediate Dogs live the present. Unlike us, they can't make connections between events and experiences that are separated time. For your dog to connect something she does with the consequences of that behavior, the consequences must be immediate. If you want to discourage your dog from doing something, you have to catch her with her paw the proverbial cookie jar. For example, if your dog gets too rough during play and mouths your arm, try saying OUCH! right at the moment you feel her teeth touch your skin. Then abruptly end playtime. The message is immediate and clear: Mouthing on people results no more fun. Rewards for good behavior must come right after that behavior has happened, too. Say a child a classroom answers a teacher's question correctly, gets up from his desk, sharpens his pencil and then punches another kid the arm on the way back to his seat. Then the teacher says, Good job, and offers him a piece of What did get the for? Timing is crucial. be prepared to reward your dog with treats, praise, petting and play the instant she does something you like. Consequences must be consistent When training your dog, you-and everyone who interacts with her-should respond the same way to things she does every time she does them. For example, if you sometimes pet your dog when she jumps up to greet you but sometimes yell at her instead, she's bound to get confused. How can she know when it's okay to jump up and when it's not?

However, the dog concept dog training is based more on myth than on animal science. More importantly, it leads misguided pet parents to use training techniques that aren't safe, like the roll. Dogs who are forcibly rolled onto their backs and held down can become frightened and confused, and they're sometimes driven to bite self defense. Keep mind that ditching the dog concept doesn't mean you have to let your dog do anything she likes. It's fine to be the boss and make the rules-but you can do that without unnecessary conflict. Be
