A dog is man's best friend but if you don't train him properly then he can also become your worst enemy. Dog training is easy when you know how and in this article, i'll share with you a few good tips.

Establish A Regular Routine

It is best to feed your dog at the same times every day rather than mix it up. Plus your dog will go hungry if you "forget" to feed him so never forget the great responsibility of ownership that you have. If you follow this simple tip then your dog will likely go to the toilet after his breakfast every morning and it's much easier to clean up if you know when to expect it.

Establish Yourself As The Leader

A dog isn't as independent as a domestic cat. Dogs are highly social but also need leadership. This comes from the pack mentality that they've had for thousands of years. You have to establish yourself as the dominant leader in the house. Some people don't want to do this because they want their pet to be treated as an equal. don't make this mistake: become a leader to your dog and he or she'll actually like you more for it because they like to be led and gain happiness from pleasing their masters.

Be Consistent In Your Actions

A dog will comprehend pretty quickly when it has done something wrong but make absolutely sure that you're consistent. Let's say that the dog jumps on the sofa and you tell it "no". The dog will comprehend next time not to do it. But if you praise the dog one day after it jumps on the sofa then it will be very confused and not comprehend you.
