Training your dog is not just about commands - it is about building trust and communication. Whether you have a playful pup or a senior rescue, these tips will help improve behaviour and strengthen your bond.
-
Start Early, But It Is Never Too Late
Puppies learn fast, but older dogs can learn too. Be patient and consistent, regardless of age. -
Positive Reinforcement Works Best
Reward good behaviour with treats, toys, or praise. This encourages your dog to repeat actions that earn rewards. -
Keep Sessions Short and Fun
Limit training to 10-15 minutes to keep your dog engaged. End on a positive note to keep things enjoyable. -
Be Consistent
Use the same commands and rules. Consistency from everyone in the household prevents confusion. -
Simple Commands Work Best
Use one-word commands like “sit” or “stay,” paired with hand signals for quicker learning. -
Socialise Early
Expose your dog to different environments and people to reduce anxiety and prevent behavioural issues.
