To increase the effectiveness of dog training, you need to achieve the most important thing - mutual understanding.

The dog must understand what the owner wants from it, and the owner must know that it doesn’t take much to achieve this.

Try to choose situations that will be followed by something pleasant for the dog, such as feeding or a walk. These stimuli will be additional reinforcement for the dog, - the head of the Russian Cynological Federation Vladimir Golubev told RIA Novosti.

Training will be more effective and the dog will be more obedient if the owner becomes the dog's leader.

And this leader must not only punish, but also reward good behavior.

For this, command words are used, which should become something ordinary for the dog.

During the training process, you need to communicate with the dog calmly and in a friendly manner.

You can't shout at an animal for refusing to follow commands. The correct thing to do is to repeat the command louder than usual, but not shout.

Your pet should be rewarded for following the command.

Remember that the dog may not understand what you want from it, and then you should prompt it to do the right thing.
