The Sure Fire Way to Train Any Pet!

By Tom Clark

Your pet is wonderful in so many ways. I feel like anyone who has a pet probably has some sort of special feeling for it. I want to tell you how you can effectively train your pet without bringing a wedge in the relationship. Your pet is the most loyal living being that you will probably ever encounter.

One of the most important things for you to understand is, the commands and rules must be constant. We tend to get upset with our animals because they stop being obedient after a certain period of time.

Whatever route you decide to take in training your pet, do it yourself or hire a trainer, you must be consistent. Once the pet has a clear understanding of what the rules are they will happily follow them.

The truth is when you train your dog, you must first train yourself. Every command you give your pet has to have a constant tone. Do not change the commands according to your moods. It is not beneficial to one minute say "lay down boy" and the next minute "LAY DOWN YOU STUPID MUTT!!!".

Your dog is clueless to why you are yelling at them in this situation. Although they carry this great love and respect for you, they are now becoming frustrated and uneasy.

I know we all love to talk with our animals, but the fact is they really do not understand English or any other language. Our pets understand tones and sounds. This is why they are able to understand commands when done consistently. Trust me I am not telling you not to talk to your animals. I actually think it is probably healthy for your relationship with them, because as I said before, they understand sounds and know when you are showing them love by how you sound when you communicate.

Be sure that when you are deciding to be serious about having a well trained pet that it all starts with you. If you get into the habit of saying "sit sit sit" don't expect your pet to sit on that first one, you are training them that if you do not say it three times, you really don't mean it.

So remember if you take anything away from this article it should be this, you guessed it "BE CONSISTENT!" whatever your methods are stick to them and you and your wonderful pets relationship should stay in great shape and get even better! - 29895
