Dogs are considered very lovely, loyal, and cute pets and so they are.

Which are the must to do steps to train a dog efficiently?

Let us learn some quick tricks for that.



  • Selection of the pet name


Everyone deserves to have a name that represents his personality. A  name and its pronunciation determine the impact it over the dog.

Psychologically a pet should be provided a small and common name that is soothing to his ears too.


  • Making things crystal clear


Just before having a pet, decide with your family what are the dos and don'ts for him. Like at which places it is allowed to visit and which do not.

This would make things clear for you both and there would be no confusion.


  • Providing a proper shelter


Likewise, we are most comfortable in our home, dogs also like to be more comfortable at theirs.

As soon as you bring a puppy, provide it a proper shelter of his own, that belongs only to him.

It would relax him and provide his privacy that everyone must respect.



  • The reward for his nice behavior


To teach the difference between right and wrong; you have to reward him for his good deeds and punish him for his bad.

They would enable him to distinguish between right and wrong.

It would also encourage him to follow your instructions and do the correct.



  • Prohibit jumping-off behavior


Dogs have a habit of jumping off in excitement.

They greet each other from nose to nose and hence want to repeat the same with humans too, so they jump off.

This could be dangerous and may result in severe injuries.

So when they try to do so, just avoid them and do not reward anything.



  • Teach them to obey instructions



There are few basic commands like to sit, stay, lie down, stop, drop, etc.

Explaining these commands and training to follow them is quite easy.

Be calm, positive, and patient while giving instructions; you have to match his capability of learning.

Always reward on the point, so that he learns the worth of the right habits.


  • Consistent and punctual training


Just select a particular time of training according to the dog’s comfort zone. 

Be consistent with it, so the dog may adapt the training in the same manner as you convey.

Having a fixed training ti
I and duration would allow the dog to already be mentally prepared.
