The conventional method of dog training tips and guide would be to list a series of things that you should “Do” and you might even know the A-Z of dog training! But sometimes what should be done can be said best by telling what should not be done. Hope you agree with me!
This article seeks to list 18 “Don’t” when you train your dog. The reasons for the donts will become evident as the lessons continue and each one is based upon the distinctive psychology of the dogs mind.
1. DONT punish your dog while you are angry or lack control of yourself.
2. DONT punish your dog with the lead or any instrument of training or anything he should associate with duty or pleasure.
3. DONT sneak up on your dog or grab him from the rear.
4. DONT chase your dog to catch him; he must come to you or run after you.
5. DONT coax your dog to you and then turn upon him with the whip. You will regret the deception.
6. DONT trick or fool or taunt your dog. It is cruel and inconsistent to tease your dog to come to you when he can not.
7. DONT punish a dog by stepping on his paws needlessly. They are exceedingly sensitive. Dont twist his ears playfully or otherwise. Never strike him on the backbone, in the face or on the ears.
8. DONT grab your dog or reach for him quickly. He should never fear his master, should not be made nervous by his master, and should feel that punishment given is deserved.
9. DONT nag your dog; dont be giving orders to him constantly; dont pester him with your shoutings.
10. DONT praise a dog for doing a certain act, then at a later time, scold him for doing the same act. If you permit him to bite your toes today and think it fun, do not strike him for doing it tomorrow, when you are not in good humor. Consistency is a chief virtue in dog training.
11. DONT train your dog immediately or soon after he has eaten.
12. DONT lose patience with a puppy younger than six months. Never throw or kick a puppy nor lift him by the head or leg or skin of the neck.
13. DONT train him in feats requiring much strength or endurance until he is at least six months old.
14. DONT work your dog without some short rest or play periods during training. A five-minute rest for every fifteen minutes of training is desirable.
15. DONT permit everyone to give commands to your dog. While you are training him, he must be a one-man dog, depending on you alone to feed him and care for him.
16. DONT consider tricks the chief end or the chief part of training. Usefulness is the object sought in all instruction of the dog. Acts that spring naturally from the dogs instincts are to be fostered.
17. DONT expect your dog to be a wonderful dog after a few weeks of training; four months to a year may be necessary in order to make the master proud of him, but the work is worth the effort. Training never ends.
18. DONT jump to the conclusion that your dog is dumb. He may differ with you believing that the trainer should know more than the dog.
To end, try to remember these 18 Don’ts rules, enjoy training your dog and most importantly have lots of fun along the way!
