Training your dog to be disciplined and obedient will go a long way in creating harmony in the household. Here are some tips to help you train your dog to be a well-behaved member of the pack.

• Puppies should start socialization as soon as possible. This is a great way to prepare your pet to deal with his environment including possible interactions with other animals and people.

• Puppies should undergo basic obedience training and pass the program with flying colors. You can choose to train your pet to respond positively to basic commands such as “sit”, “stay”, or “heel”, or you can enroll him in a basic obedience class.

• By nature, canines love to please their owners thus they are eager to learn something new provided that you are quick to show positive reinforcement.   Showing your appreciation may involve giving your dog his favorite treat or lots of belly rubbing and head patting. Never allow a positive response, no matter how small, to pass. This is your way of showing your pet that you are happy and well-pleased with his behavior and will push him to perform well in his training.

Success in dog training is not achieved over night. It is a gradual process, entailing time, effort, and lots of patience.
