Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks

If you say the saying that you can not teach new tricks to an old dog, you just do not know how to do it right. Dogs of all ages can learn tricks and obedience using to an older dog the same standard procedure. Regardless of the age of your dog, a patient and especially a consistent training approach pay off very quickly.

The first step in training a dog is to set up a reward system. The reward system must include a specific treatment as well as a sign of love and affection. Systematically applying the rewards system ultimately recognizes what is right and wrong, and generally achieves faster results.

One of the most effective ways to train your dog for certain behaviors is to teach him commands in one word. Traditional commands in one word, such as "sitting" and "staying," are essential for your dog to be obedient when needed. The first step is to reward behavior, for example sit down whenever the dog feels natural. You will soon notice a recurrence of this type of behavior as you take care of the reward. Then enter the word and reward only the activity that follows the announcement of the word. Be sure to say the word once, reward your dog for his obedience and keep the reward. This in turn should help to establish positive behavior in response to the owner's requirements. Although these techniques are more useful for basic obedience, they can also benefit dogs with behavioral problems and enable effective training for more complicated tasks.

Working with older dogs to learn new tips and techniques keeps you up to date mentally. This means that dogs, like humans, stay alert and spend a lot of time on intellectual stimulation and, of course, time with their owners. Take the time to focus on your dog, no matter how old you are to increase your happiness and maintain your mental capacity longer.

Working with your dogs is an essential part of the relationship between the owner and the pet and also helps to ensure the respect required for good behavior. With some of these simple and proven techniques, you can teach any dog, no matter how old he is, how he behaves in different ways, and even teaches tricks at the same time.

Older dogs are excellent pets. The fact that a dog is not a puppy does not mean that he can not be trained. Dogs are

I love people and they learn all their lives. Sometimes older dogs are as easy to train as

Puppies Here are 3 reasons why:

1. Older dogs are more mature and their attention span is much longer. In general, an older dog is not interested in playing during a training session, so he is more likely to recognize the taught commands.

2. Older dogs are hierarchical and have an owner or a leader. Most adult dogs were owned by someone, so they are used to orders. Even if they were just basic commands like "come here" or "no", they still learn from their owner.

3. Older dogs are more responsive to your orders. In fact, as a dog ages, a dog has an inward need to please its owner so that he receives the praise that most dogs seek. The dogs are very loving. They always try to please their owner. The puppy's stage is certainly the best time to start training. However, under certain circumstances, it is necessary to train an older dog if an adult dog is not sufficiently trained at an earlier time.

Dogs respond well to rewards and praise no matter how old they are. The repetition of your training and the consistency of your efforts are essential for training the dog at any age. If you ever have the opportunity to adopt a dog from a shelter or give a home to a stranger, do not think that "you can not teach new tricks to an old dog!"
