This video is to show you how to avoid making the same common mistakes that everyone else
does, so that you can start to focus on how to do things RIGHT.
It's not your fault. Many dog owners make mistakes without knowing it -- maybe they
got bad advice, grew up doing it one way with a family dog, or read something somewhere
that wasn't quite right.
So let's get started!
Dog Training Michigan - How To Train A Puppy -- Mistake #1:
Calling your dog over to you and then doing something he doesn't like.
Your dog is having lots of fun in the yard, playing around and having a good time.
You call him in and immediately begin to clean his ears or put him in the bath.
Or, he's running around at the puppy park, you call him over, and put a leash on him
because it's time to go home.
Even worse, your dog is being naughty in the lounge room so you call him to you, and yell
at him for his bad behavior.
Is it a surprise that your dog doesn't come to you any more when called? In his mind,
coming to you results in something not very pleasant!
Never call your dog to you and punish him. This will kill any enthusiasm he has for coming
to you when you ask him to. Besides, to effectively punish a dog for a behavior, you need to catch
him in the act. Any later is too late.
To help resolve the other two scenarios, call your dog over sometimes while he's in the
middle of playing. Give him a snack, pet him, cuddle him .... and then tell him to go play
again. This will teach him that coming to you doesn't mean it's the end of the game.
Dog Training Michigan - How To Train A Puppy -- Mistake #2:
Not Staying Consistent.
Dogs learn best by repetition. They learn by doing something and experiencing the same
outcome over and over again.

If you let your dog jump up on you when you're in your weekend shorts and tee shirt, don't
get upset if he does it when you're in a suit. He can't tell the difference.
If you are inconsistent and do things haphazardly, or only hold the dog accountable sometimes,
your dog isn't going to learn anything. He'll be more confused than anything else.
Dog Training Michigan - How To Train A Puppy -- Mistake #3:
Expecting Too Much.
Dogs learn at different rates. This is affected by their breed, their age and their individual
temperament. If you put expectations on your dog, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
You may also get frustrated at your dog for not performing, and he'll recognize this.
Take it easy, and enjoy the training process. Most dogs get there in the end. It's not a
race, and if your dog takes a little longer, that's not a problem.
Dog Training Michigan - How To Train A Puppy -- Mistake #4:
Not Enough Positive Reinforcement
When your dog is learning, he needs regular rewards to teach him that he's on the right
track. Too few rewards and he won't quite understand when he's right. In the early stages
of training, it's better to give him too many rewards than too few.
Dog Training Michigan - How To Train A Puppy -- Mistake #5:
Too Much Negative Reinforcement
Punishment isn't the best way to train your dog. For it to be effective, it has to be
delivered at the exact time your dog is doing the wrong thing, otherwise he won't connect
the punishment with the behavior. This isn't easy. Too much negative reinforcement can
also have an adverse effect on your relationship with him.
Dog Training Michigan - How To Train A Puppy -- Mistake #6:
Sticking your dog's nose into his messes to correct his "mistakes".
This is not appropriate under any circumstance. It is downright cruel.
It can have several effects:
- Your dog will be terrified of you, - Your dog will think that he needs to hide
when he has to eliminate, and - Your dog may even think that having to eliminate
is bad.
None of these are desirable.

Remember what we said about punishment in mistake #5? If you punish your dog for doing
this after the fact, he won't have a clue what he is in trouble for.
Nothing more needs to be said. Just don't do it.
