Dog Training With Dog Training Aids

Posted by Geraldine Dimarco 28 November, 2009

Using your voice to persuade your dog to learn something new is a great dog training aid. Use your dog’s name before you state any command, and use a persuasive tone of voice. What is a persuasive tone? It’s best to use a low, but pleasant, firm tone when dog training.

When dog training, you should talk to your dog throughout the dog training session. Try teaching your dog to retrieve and fetch with dog training aids such as a light dumbbell. Dog training aids don’t need to be something from a pet store. Items such as dumbbells are great dog training aids.

Never become angry with your dog when dog training. Becoming angry will not help, and is likely to make your dog anxious. To make matters worse, your dog won’t understand why you’re angry with him.

Your dog always wants to please you. Keep this firmly in mind when dog training. If your dog does not understand what you want him to do straight away, come back to the art of persuasion. And exercise patience with your dog.

Once your dog understands what it is you’re attempting to train him to do, he will be more than happy to repeat the action – probably over and over again. One thing you can be almost certain of is that you will get bored before your dog does!

If your dog does not understand that you want him to take the dumbbell (or whichever other dog training aids you’re using), it may be necessary to gently place the dumbbell in his mouth and then gently hold his jaws closed by placing both your hands around his muzzle. Be careful not to bang your dog’s teeth on the dumbbell.

Dog training times are a wonderful opportunity for you to spend one on one time with your dog. Dogs love this. They love training with you, but you will need to be patient at times. Your dog will not always understand what you want him to do, but as soon as he does, he will be happy to comply.

Once your dog has become used to taking the dumbbell from your hand, he will probably want to perform this “trick” over and over, because he knows he is pleasing you.

Once your dog is taking the dumbbell from your hand, encourage him to pick it up off the ground just in front of him. Then move the dumbbell gradually further and further away from him, and give him the command of “Fetch”.

What are the some of the most important aspects of dog training? Discover what they are, and find out how dog training aids can assist when training your dog to retrieve, to fetch, and much more.
