Mistakes in training a dog can lead to the pet not obeying its owner.

An improperly trained animal is unlikely to follow human commands.

And, most likely, your four-legged friend will develop a habit of tearing things and making a mess in the apartment.

Of course, in such a situation, any owner would want to make their pet obedient.

Is it possible to correct mistakes made during training? Absolutely! The main thing is not to punish the dog or beat it.

It is better to pay attention to the tricks listed below.

Remove whatever provokes your pet

Is your four-legged friend constantly chewing on your shoes? Just hide your shoes in the locker.

In this case, the pet will not be tempted to spoil the thing. And this helps improve the dog's behavior.

Distract the dog

Has your pet started to misbehave again? Distract your pet's attention.

Sometimes just one clap of the hands is enough for the dog to pay attention to the owner and understand that he is being asked to stop.

Reward your pet for good behavior

"Carrot instead of stick." This is the strategy that the owner of a disobedient dog should follow.

Sometimes the right praise is enough to stop your pet from being naughty.

If a four-legged friend comes to the conclusion that he is given tasty food for a certain behavior, but after some mischief he is left without additional treats, then the pet's behavior is corrected.
