Dog Training Tips

Here's some free dog training tips courtesy your friends at Dog Training A to Z!

1. The ideal time to start training your dog is between 6 and 8 weeks of age.

2. Use a friendly voice when giving commands such as "heel"

3. Patience. Patience is probably the most important part of training any dog. It's easy to become frustrated or give up when your dog doesn't learn as fast as you would like.

4. Always play with your dog after you are done training. This will help him to associate training time with fun time and he'll look forward to training with you again.

5. Training works best when you train your dog with no distractions (such as other pets.)

6. Always be positive! We are firm believers in positive dog training. Positive reinforcements are a necessary part of properly training your dog. You should give your dog much praise when he or she completes a task properly! Doggy treats are great too but don't overdo it with those or your dog will over eat which is obviously not good for him!
