10 Rules for Training Dogs eazydogtraining.com
Eazy Dog Training 1. Be consistent
Use the same cue for the same command each time.
If you use “come” one week, “come here” the next, and “come here, girl” the following, you’ll confuse your dog.
Use a simple COME. Every time.
Don’t repeat the command either. It’s easy to do, but it teaches your dog that she doesn’t need to respond to the first command.
2. Right timing
We need to mark the moment the dog is doing the right thing!
The praise (short marker word ‘yes’) and reward needs to happen immediately when the dog is doing what you want in order for them to make the connection between the word and the action.
“Hey, if I sit when she/he says ‘sit,’ I get a treat!”
