If you want to be happy with your dog and you want it to be happy, training is essential.

How do you move forward? Training your pet will help him to be a much happier dog. The suggestions here should be all you need to properly train your pet.

You will have to buy a big bed if you have a big dog. You can find an extra large bed for large dogs at any pet store. An interesting alternative could be a crib mattress. You can buy several crib sheets, and change the cover of the mattress as often as you would like. And as an added bonus, crib mattresses are water-resistant!

Something as simple as improving their diet can sometimes have a huge impact on how receptive they are to training.

Consider using a crate when house training your dog. Crate training will work if you let your dog go out on a regular basis and maintain a schedule that stays consistent. A dog trained in a create will have less accidents with time.

When you bring that new dog or puppy home, you want to get the entire family involved in the training. Having everyone participate in your dog's training will make sure he obeys the house rules.

A variety of rewards, such as treats, praise and toys keep your dog interested in pleasing you. These treats cannot be confused with every day treats at first, because you need to create a sense of specialness which will encourage the dog to obey your commands, since they know that the treats they will be receiving are out of the ordinary.

With the proper training, both you and your dog can be happy. With the information here, you are on your way to successfully training your dog.
