What was your dream when you were a child? Do you want to become an astronaut, never watch TV news (only cartoons), to have a dog... Probably, all of us dreamed to have a dog in their childhood. And if you don't do it within that happy period of life, it is just the moment to fulfill your dream!
So, you have already bought such a wonderful present! But now you don't know what to do with her. Well, of course, you should train her all the necessary commands in order to make your life easier. The other question is how to do this. You have no time, because of your work, family, sweetheart, studying... In this case, you have no time to live. So, do you want to have some time for yourself and the things which you really adore?
Just follow the Sleeping Dog advice and become a real friend to your pet! Agility training is the best choice for those who like to play with their dogs. Just remember two basic rules. Consistency and persistence. These are two main principles for any upbringing. But sometimes we forget about them and start to suppose that our dog is just stupid. Or on the contrary, she is too clever and just make a fool of us. Every dog is eager to please her owner. So, she does everything in order to achieve it. And if you are not satisfied with her behavior, just change some of your techniques.
For example, your dog is eating something from the ground. You should command her to stop just at this moment. And it should be noted that your dog ought to pay attention to you at this time. If you start to punish her even several seconds after the action, the dog will not associate it with the above mentioned doing. So, it is really important to say commands just the time your dog does something wrong. The other thing is that some members of your family may allow the dog to do the forbidden things. In this case, your lovely pet just can't understand what is going on and what is the matter that you are shouting at her when she just sitting on the sofa. So, give notice to the members of your family about such things. |
