There is so many ways that our pets are wonderful. Anyone fortunate enough to own a pet has love for it. You can train your pet without hurting the relationship in any way. Pets are usually more loyal than anyone we have ever or ever will meet.
The number one rule you must know as an owner is, the rules and commands have to be consistent. Most pet owners don't understand why their pets start off obedient and soon after become unresponsive.
Whatever route you decide to take in training your pet, do it yourself or hire a trainer, you must be consistent. Once the pet has a clear understanding of what the rules are they will happily follow them.
Anytime you train a pet, you must train yourself first. Don't change commands along with your particular moods. Each and every command should be given in a constant tone. It's not fair to your dog to say "stay boy" one minute and then the next "STAY HERE YOU IDIOT!!!".
Your dog is clueless to why you are yelling at them in this situation.
Although they carry this great love and respect for you, they are now becoming frustrated and uneasy.Even with the many many conversations we have with our pets, they really don't know what we are talking about. They only know tones and sounds, which is why our commands have to be consistent. Please do not stop talking your pet though. The animal always knows when we are being loving and compassionate to them by the sound of our voice.
When you are ready to have a well trained dog examine yourself first. Do not get into the habit of repeating commands to your dog, or they will never take you seriously.
The main objective of this article was to get you to understand consistency is key! However you decide to go about training, stick with it and you and your pet will be happy as ever!
