Words to Be Avoided When Disciplining, Correcting and Training Your Dog!

Most dog owners will misunderstand the principle root of dog training. During dog training there are some words that you will need to avoid. Most of the dog owners do not realize that and making the mistake over and over again start to complain that the training, discipline and correcting their dog's bad habit methods do not help!

The common mistake made by all the dog owners will be using the recall word for the dog during dog training, discipline and correcting process. What are the recall words? Recall words will be words that use to call your dog to do something or finish a task. Example of the recall words will be "come", "go"," take".

Why can't you use the recall word? Your dog can't communicate with you through word, so they will interpret the words. They will analyze the words based on the consequences they will experience after responding to the particular words? Do not understand? Read on.

The common examples are when your dog is barking outside the gate or digging a hole in the garden; you will be shouting "Grey grey 'COME' here!" He does not respond to your. You will yell at him 'Grey grey I said 'COME' here!" He still barking or digging at outside. Then you will go outside and grab him in and told him, "I told you to "COME" here grey grey!" and smash him.

Now, grey grey will understand that "COME here" means you are doing something wrong and will be punished!

So, next time whenever you want him to "COME" over to you, he will respond by running away from you. Because he understands the word "COME" as he is doing something wrong and he will be punished so he quickly stays away from you.

When you are calling him for his treat or dinner, "Grey grey "COME" here", he will not respond to you while continue with his playing at outside. You will go grab him in the house and tell him "Grey grey why are you so naughty whenever I ask you to "COME" here you will not listen to me." Then grey grey will double confirm that the word "COME" meaning that you are in big trouble and you will getting scold or beat. So do not go over when their owners say the word "COME."

Now the training process become as mess, as he misinterprets the words!

So, from the expert advice that whenever you dog doing something bad you need to catch him in the act and correct it immediately. But please do not use the recall words whenever you dog did something wrong or when you want to discipline him.

You can correct them by giving a SIT command first before correcting them. Example will be when they are digging /barking outside the garden, do not shout at them "Grey grey "COME" here!" Instead tell them: "Grey grey, "SIT"!" Then you can go over and get him in. After get him in, punished him. Let him know that you don't like him to do so. Then only they will understand that you don't like them to do and they will be in big trouble if they digging/playing outside the garden.
