Use Dog
Training Video To Get Instructional Tips On How To Train Your
Dog
Although they could be You Tube, DVD or
videotape, instructional tips of dog training that you can
watch over and over again are usually called dog training
videos. There are many specialty videos or DVDs made for
specific jobs your dog may have, including being a police dog,
show dog or drug-sniffing dog. But the majority of dog training
videos are made for the average dog owner in mind.
Dog Training Video Is
Just Like Recipe Books
Dog training videos are to be used a merely
suggestions and helpful hints and not followed like gospel.
Your dog will often not behave like the dogs in dog training
videos. If you have a toy dog, it will be very hard to find dog
training videos just for toy dogs. So, you have to get videos
of trainers working with large dog breeds and have to
improvise. It's a bit like a cookbook, where following a recipe
to the letter is merely optional, not a requirement for a good
meal.

But there are some basic ingredients that
should be a part of every dog's life to help any advice from
dog training videos to work. Your dog needs to have regular
exercise, eat quality food (and not too much of it), have only
occasional human food as treats, needs regular vet check ups
and really needs to be spayed or neutered. Without the sex
hormones running amuck in a dog's brain, they are more ready to
pay attention to you and to let you be the boss.
Look For
Dog Training Videos That Emphasize On Positive
Reinforcement
Whether you are looking for a video on
housebreaking, general obedience or for dog agility training
videos, you need to pay the most attention to those
which feature positive reinforcement as the main training
method. If you are given dog training videos featuring
punishment or the use of gadgets like prong collars, chuck
them in the trash. All you are learning from those videos is
how to terrorize and abuse your dog. Your dog then becomes
terrified of you and is more prone to bite and disobey.
Methods of positive reinforcement include
clicker training and shaping. This is where undesired behavior
is ignored and positive behavior rewarded with a click (or
other marker noise) and a treat. Eventually, you won’t need to
give a treat every single time you give a command. But in the
beginning, it sure helps. You need to be patient, persistent
and have a big sense of humor.
