When it comes to dog training, simplicity often yields the best results. In a dog pack, the alpha sets the rules, and understanding this dynamic is key to productive obedience training. Here are 8 straightforward tips to help you teach your new puppy or energetic dog that you are the leader.
1. Control Mealtime Habits:
Don’t feed your dog from your plate while you’re eating. Your dog needs to learn that they can only eat once you have finished, reinforcing your position as the alpha.
2. Set Clear Boundaries:
Keep your dog off the sofa and your bed. If your dog blocks your path, gently nudge them aside. Establishing these boundaries teaches your dog to respect your space and authority.
3. Discourage Chewing on Personal Items:
Prohibit chewing on towels, socks, shoes, or clothing. Use products like bitter apple to deter these behaviors effectively.
4. Avoid Physical Punishment:
Never hit your dog for misbehaving. Instead, use your voice tone and a collar or leash to make corrections. Positive reinforcement and calm authority are more effective.
5. Prevent Finger Chewing:
Don’t let your puppy chew on your fingers, as it can lead to difficult habits later. Use bitter apple spray on your hands. This teaches the puppy not to bite without associating negativity with you as their leader.
6. Exercise is Essential:
Don’t leave a hyper dog unexercised. Play ball before and after work to help reduce pent-up energy and ensure a calmer, happier pet.
7. Socialize Properly:
Avoid leaving your dog alone in the yard for extended periods. Without socialization, dogs can become aggressive towards humans and other animals. Ensure your dog has interactions with both other dogs and people to balance behavior.
8. Discourage Jumping:
Prevent your dog from jumping on you or guests. While it may seem cute as a puppy, it becomes troublesome as the dog grows. Practice using a collar and leash, setting up scenarios where someone rings the doorbell. Correct the dog with a firm “sit” command when the guest enters. Reward good behavior promptly. Progress to off-leash training, using a water spray bottle and stern “NO” for jumping. Always praise obedience.
By following these steps, you’ll establish yourself as the alpha, laying the groundwork for effective training. Your dog will learn to respect your authority and respond positively to your commands. This foundation ensures a happy, well-behaved pet and a stronger bond between you and your dog.
