Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

If you have a new dog or puppy, you will be interested in getting some basic puppy training. You can do the dog training yourself or you could use a dog obedience instructor

Training your dog with an obedience instructor can vary in price and it typically takes place in a class. If you will want do the  training your self it will end up being really cheap, if not free and you can do it from your own home. But you do need to get yourself educated about dog training if you choose to do it yourself

There is three basic things your dog should learn through basic dog training. These are: stay,sit down and come here The first step it teaching your dog to sit. To start this dog training, you will first need some dog treats.

Have this happen dog training in a quiet environment so your dog doesn’t get distracted. Tell your dog to sit repeatedly as you hold the dog treat just over their head. This way the dog has to look up and may sit on there own to reach the treat.

If not, gently push there rear down. When they sit, praise them and reward them with a treat. This kind of dog training works because the dog constantly hears “sit” and will learn to associate the command with sitting and receiving praise.

The next part of dog training is to teach your dog to stay. This can often be the difficult part of the dog training process. This kind of dog training is also incorporated with teaching your dog the command “come.” Sit your dog in an area with no directions.

Tell your dog to stay repeatedly as you back away. Start out by keeping eye contact with the dog. If your dog decides to get up , tell him  “no” and start again. It’s important to remember that this training can take a while. You may need someone to sit with the dog to help reinforce the dog to stay the first few times.

Once you have made progress with this dog training, you then start by walking away with your back turned. Dogs will often get up to follow you at this point. Tell your dog “no” and start the dog training again by repeatedly telling your dog to stay as you walk away.

Once your dog has mastered this part, you can teach it to come. After your dog has stayed, tell it to “come.” Have a very happy voice and pat your knee as you say “come.” Your dog should respond to this dog training right away and you may then reward it.

Always use praise rather then punishment with dog training. Dogs respond positive dog training, rather than negative. With all of this in mind, you will be able to teach your dog the 3 basis commands.

Follow this advice and you should soon possess a more obedient dog that is worth everyone’s praise!
