Pet Training Made Easy with these Tips

Pet training requires pet parents and trainers to be patient and consistent. They need to incorporate positive reinforcement practices to make training effective. Here are a few easy tips to accomplish the same. 

• Start as early as possible and be consistent with the training. Whether it is a pup or an older pet, training must start as soon as they enter the home. Follow the same routine and use same commands every day to avoid confusion. 

• Incorporate positive reinforcement practices such as rewarding the pets with extra playtime, praises and treats for good behavior. Do no punish the pets when they exhibit unwanted behavior. Instead redirect them towards appropriate actions with positive words of encouragement. 

• Start with smaller training sessions but keep them short with multiple training session spread throughout the day. Pets have shorter attention and hence a 10 minute session is most ideal.

• Basis commands must be taught first which includes sit, come, stay, leave, etc. Verbal cues can be best understood with hand gestures. 

• Introduce socializing at an early age but do not impose if the pet is not interested. Controlled interactions are always best to prevent aggression and also make them feel comfortable when they are exposed to strangers. 

• Do not get frustrated as pets catch up to those emotions faster. Be patients, calm and persistent during the training sessions. If the sessions aren’t going well, it is best to take a break and continue after some time. 

• Clicker training always works especially when reinforcing positive behavior. Click immediately as soon the pet performs the right action and reward them. 

• Make training fun by introducing various challenges and toys. Introduce distractions at a later part of training so that pets learn to obey commands even when they are in different environment or social setting.
