Dog Training Tips From Russia

All over the world, dogs are the same, from their annoying behaviors to their delightful natures. What do dog trainers in Russia have to teach dog owners in Singapore? They offer a surprising number of helpful tips that pet owners in any country can find useful.

Be Objective When Choosing a Dog

Many people make their initial mistake when they first obtain their pet. They choose a breed that isn’t right for their living situation, the size of their home and yard, or the people in their family. Some breeds do better with a single master than a family with children. Others are working dogs by nature and need plenty of space to run and plenty of activities to keep them busy. Still other animals are very personable and require company; they become anxious if left alone all day while members of the family are at work and at school.

If you want a healthy relationship with your pet and a successful result from your dog training, do your homework before the dog joins your family. Find a breed that suits your home, your outdoor space, and most importantly, the people within your household.

Start Dog Training at a Young Age

Begin the dog training when your puppy is very young. Keep in mind that early nips with the pup’s teeth, though harmless, are the first steps towards aggression, the evidence of the dog’s need to protect its territory. When those initial snaps begin to occur, take action immediately, reprimanding the dog until it understands that using its teeth against people is forbidden.

Become the Alpha of the House

In every canine pack, there is a leader, or alpha, that dominates the other members of the group. In your human-dog relationship, you need to establish which one of you is the alpha. Using a deep, firm voice, exuding confidence, and maintaining a dominant stance when rebuking your dog is essential.

Use the Power of Attention

By nature, your dog craves your attention and affection. Ignoring your dog is a powerful tool of rebuke and punishment, as Russian dog training habits prove. However, remember the flip side of the coin— your attention is just as powerful as a reward. Show your dog love and engage in a game or two when you want to praise your pet for good behavior.

Make No Size Distinctions

Small dogs look extremely cute, even when they are behaving aggressively or being disobedient. However, don’t let their adorable looks affect your dog training goals. Small dogs need just as much diligence and consistency as large dogs in order for them to learn obedience and socially acceptable behavior.

Be Persistent and Consistent

Training a dog, like teaching a child, can be a lengthy process, full of setbacks. You’ll need patience and persistence to get through it. As long as you stick with plan, keep in your goals in mind, and never give up on your pet, you and your dog will get through the difficult early phase and enjoy the pleasant relationship that comes with trust and proper training
