Fun free dog training video

There's a free online dog training video that teaches you how to train your dog to do tricks.

This excellent training video shows you how to train your dog in a positive way so your dog gets to learn a couple of tricks (and how to perform them properly) in a way that's fun for the dog.

You can watch the video free at Puppy Training and Dog Training Online

Personally, I found the positivity and enthusiasm of the trainer very refreshing. Unfortunately, I've seen dog training videos by other trainers that where the trainer was bullying the dog.

However, this trainer, Dove Cresswell, has developed a training approach that we can all use with our dogs and, as a professional dog trainer, she knows a lot of really clever tips about how to get the dog to do what she wants.

I took a couple of the tricks and tried them with one of my dogs and it was amazing how effective they were.

Check out the video and you'll see for yourself:

Mutual understanding in dog behavior training

How you carry out your dog behavior training will go a long way to determining how good a relationship you will have with your dog.

To have a great relationship, you need to train your dog. Training your dog’s behavior will not only help your dog understand what you want, the dog training will also help you understand what he wants.

By working closely with your dog during his training, you’ll learn to understand his responses and how he views you, your family and your home.

Dog’s are animals, they find it easy and natural to communicate with other dogs and other animals. However, dogs don’t have the sophistication to understand human-to-human communication.

This means, you need to create a middle ground where your behavior is something he can understand and to get yourself sufficiently in tune with his behavior that you can understand him.

This “mutual understanding” approach to dog training is almost always more effective than the “man against dog” adversarial approach to dog behavior training.
Too often people training their dog’s are reminiscent of those English speakers abroad who’s solution to the language gap is merely to speak … English … very … slowly and VERY LOUDLY!

Instead, they’d probably find it far easier to communicate if they were to meet in the middle with the common language of pointing and demonstrating.

Similarly, with your dog’s behavior training, it’s important to be flexible in your own behavior and meet your dog on common ground.

The most obvious common ground in dog behavior training is reward and punishment.
If you reward your dog every time he performs the desired behavior, he’ll get the message. A treat or a loving pat will be easy for your dog to understand. He’ll know that it’s a positive response and, if the reward consistently follows that particular behavior, he’s going to want to behave that way over and over.

Similarly, if he’s punished – and, by punished, I’m talking about a gentle punishment, just enough for him to understand that you disapprove of the behavior – for bad behaviors in ways that he understands, you give him the chance to learn.

One final note: when it comes to dog behavior training that’s designed to stop aggressive behavior from your dog, you need to start by seeing things from the dog’s perspective.

While dogs can be naturally aggressive, this natural aggression tends to be in answer to a threat.

If your dog is showing aggressive behavior, you need to ask yourself if there is something in the environment that is causing your dog to be uneasy.

If you don’t look for an environmental cause, but still try to change the dog’s behavior, you’re likely to find that your dog doesn’t respond to the behavior training.

I hope this article has helped you understand more about dog behavior training.

Dog Behavior training tip - the importance of consistency

Tip #1: The Importance Of Consistency

If you want to create fast results when training your dog's behavior, you need to commit to using consistency.

Your dog will learn a new behavior when that behavior is consistently rewarded and will stop behaviors that are consistently punished.

However, if you are inconsistent while you are training your dog - if you only sometimes reward your dog for good behavior while training a new behavior, the dog is unlikely to associate the reward with the behavior and the behavior is unlikely to stick.

Similarly, if you only sometimes punish a bad behavior from time to time, you will probably just confuse and upset your dog. He won't really understand why he's being punished and he won't understand that he should stop that behavior.

So, you need to help your dog by being consistent in your dog behavior training.

So, the first dog behavior training tip basics is to help your dog learn good behavior by making sure that the dog training is consistent.
