Training Tips For Small Dogs
How A Small Dog Behaves
Small dogs are endearing little creatures that capture the heart and bring out our protective nature. Unfortunately this can result in behavioral problems. When it comes to training a small dog scores of owners look at their small bundles of fur and just can't quite get themselves to discipline unacceptable behavior.
This lack of resolve is our main mistake for even though they are little in stature, the devastation they can create is considerable! In a worst case scenario, your small dog might hurt himself. A small dog may not seem like they are capable of much, but you will promptly find out this is not the case!
A Small Dog Will Never Act His Size
If size were not relative, the Chihuahua would be the most dangerous canine to walk the land; and an astonishing number of other small dogs have a reputation for being belligerent as well. Being little, even bad behavior can appear adorable and lead to a lack of discipline on your part. If you need verification of this fact, pop on over to the neighborhood dog park and observe the Miniature Pinscher challenging the Doberman to a death match.
To be successful at training your small dog, you will want to keep a stiff upper lip and not yield to those big wet eyes promising to be the best behaved dog ever if you'll just give in. Even if you just commit to training the three fundamental commands of "sit - stay - come", the safety of your canine buddy is significantly increased.
Building A Solid Foundation
Getting started with your small breed dog training program is easier than you imagine if you start off with the fundamentals; this means building sound responses to the commands of "sit - stay - come". Without these building blocks in place, you will experience a great deal more trouble moving on to the more challenging commands.
Obedience for a small dog is a lifestyle, not something you do for a brief period of time; I advise that you commence sharing the rules and boundaries you expect your dog to comply with from the very start. Some new owners believe that puppies are easier to train because everything is fresh, there are no bad habits that have to be redirected. Older dogs can be a mixed bag, they have more maturity and longer attention spans than a puppy but may also have learned some bad behaviors along the way; if you find yourself struggling, a consultation with a professional trainer can help get you back on firm ground.
Nipping Problems In The Bud
Recognizing a specific behavior as troublesome before it becomes deep-seated in your small dogs routine is important. For instance, responding with attention every time your small dog barks demandingly in your direction tells them that you are the lacky and they the lord.
A primary reason dog owners will select a small breed is that they are easier to snuggle with on the sofa or in a chair; so long as you show ownership of the piece of furniture you are inviting you dog onto, you should be okay.
Encouraging your small dog to jump on your legs, demanding notice ought to be a red flag. While it may be adorable to see your small dog standing up against your legs begging for notice, the reality is this is a distinct behavior that places your dog in a position of dominance over you.
Bolting is another very bad behavior you need to nip in the bud; not only is your dog in peril, so are others around them. Small dogs are difficult to see and if they dart into traffic they could get run over by a passing vehicle. You not only risk losing your small dog, you could also be held responsible for restitution.
Tips For Dog Training
- All dogs regardless of size gain value from training
- Obedience training of small dogs is not cruel
- If you want your small companion to be secure, start training today
- A dogs society consists of one leader and the rest are followers - in your dogs mind there will be a leader - best make sure it's you!
- Dogs are animals, they do not rationalize – they react instinctively to their surroundings
- Small dogs live in the moment, they do not "remember" that you neglected to feed them the night before, they only know that they are hungry
- Avoid negative or frustrated emotions in your training sessions, your dog will pick up on them and know your displeasure
- Consistency is essential to your training success
- Just like you, a dog learns with repetition
- Burning off physical energy through walking, retrieving or other similar activities before starting the obedience training will assist your dog to stay focused
- Do not be too severe in your training sessions, if your small dog is not having fun, they will not look forward to the next lesson
- In nature, dogs have to work for their food - by taking a structured walk with training breaks prior to feeding, you strengthen your standing as leader
In Closing
If it is your aim to raise a healthy, Happy Dog for many years to come, visit Train A Small Dog to better understand why it is essential to institute a sound training program for your small dog. When you have successfully earned the trust and acceptance as pack leader, life together will go much smoother; and as leader, you are making the statement that no matter what, they will be safe with you.
