3 Tips For Daily Training |
|
|
|
For most people, life is incredibly busy, and the time you have to spare for your beloved dog is limited. You want to spend that time playing with him, not training basic obedience. But without proper training, your dog isn't happy, and his inevitable bad behavior means you aren't either. So how do you squeeze that essential training into your busy lifestyle? Here are three quick tips to help you take advantage of every opportunity to make training easy and fun.

|
Step 1: Keep Your Training Sessions Short |
|
|
|
Although training classes are often one hour long, that's not the goal for at-home sessions. For most dogs, short bursts of training are far more suitable. And if you think you must schedule hour-long intervals, you will never find the time. Five minutes per session is more than enough. Anything longer, and you risk having your dog become bored or frustrated. If you keep things fun and stop before your dog loses interest, it will help build enthusiasm for future training sessions.

Step 2: Spread Training Throughout The Day |
|
|
|
Short training sessions are far easier to fit in during the day. Every time you interact with your dog, you have an opportunity to train, even if it's as simple as practicing "sit" before you let him or her outside to go to the bathroom. Before you know it, a few minutes here and there will add up to far more time than that hoped-for hour-long session.

Step 3: Take Advantage of Mealtimes |
|
|
|
A bowl of food is a huge reward. Why waste it by simply placing it on the floor? Mealtimes are a perfect way to schedule daily training sessions. At the very least, have your dog perform a desired behavior before you give him his bowl. Better still, divide the food up and get as many repetitions as you can. This is easiest with little handfuls of the meal.
Another popular option is to cover your Restore M3® in peanut butter and use this as a treat which will positively reinforce the behaviors you are wishing to obtain with your pup during meal time.
