When you see a badly behaved dog in the street we are embarassed for the owner and upset if the dog is a nuisance to us. Nobody likes a badly behaved dog.

Having decided that you want to have a well trained dog you can choose to either get somebody to train your dog for you or you can do your own dog training. Working with your dog yourself will create a terrific relationship between you and your dog.

You can also join local dog training classes and some people find this is the best route for them but classes tie you down to a certain time each week and they may not easily fit in with your busy lifestyle.

Always give your dog lots of praise and attention when he performs his instructions well. Dogs love being appreciated so the more praise you give him the harder he will try to do the things that earn that praise and attention.

Dogs want to be loved so the more you show how much you love your dog the more he will want to make you happy. When he is doing well and you give him lots of encouraging praise he will remember that by doing things properly he got a lot of love and attention and next time will try extra hard.

You might like to keep a few little treats in your pocket to give to your dog as an extra reward if he does really well. Only give the treats when the task has been performed reasonably well. You should avoid ever rewarding failure. He needs to learn that he gets goodies when he is good.

There is no reason to hit a dog when you are training him. Shouting and being aggresive towards him will just confuse him and you will end up with a scared and unhappy dog. Praise him but always be in control by being firm and clear with your commands. He will obey because he wants to please you and make you happy.

Develop a regular routine for the training but always avoid overworking your dog. If things are not going well stop the training for that day. You want the training to be productive and a positive experience for your dog.
