Dog Training Essentials Guide
How to Start Training your Dog Today!
Welcome to your dog training journey with Cut The Sit! We're thrilled to be your partners in helping you and your furry friend build a stronger bond and achieve your training goals. In this guide, we'll share some valuable tips and strategies you can start doing today that will enhance your dog’s training.
Training Space: Begin training in a low-distraction environment and gradually increase distractions as your dog's skills improve. Having a plan in place for managing distractions from people or other pets can help set you and your dog up for success. The more distractions there are, the more difficult training will be for you and your dog.
Motivation: In dog training, establishing motivation is key. We recommend using dry kibble, toys, and praise to motivate your dog. Unlike wet options, dry kibble offers cleanliness and convenience. Seek guidance from your vet on suitable food brands. Avoid people food or high-value treats, except for specific training needs like potty or crate training. Incorporate toys into training sessions to boost motivation and fun!
Feeding: Hand feeding is an interactive training experience that increases the focus and the bond between you and your dog. If hand-feeding isn't feasible, make crate time a positive experience by feeding meals, treats, bones, or other high-value items only in the crate. If your dog doesn't eat their food within 15 minutes or won’t eat the food from your hand, take it away and try again later.
Energy Outlets: Indoor activities can be a great addition to your dog’s routine. We utilize food dispensing toys our dogs love to keep them entertained while getting their steps in. Consider scattering your dog’s food on the floor for meals or tossing pieces of food down a hallway. These activities are great for bad weather, dogs with anxiety, or dogs who are difficult to walk.
We're genuinely excited to join forces with you and your furry companion as you embark on this transformative adventure. Throughout this guide, we've shared invaluable insights and practical strategies to elevate your dog's training experience. From creating the ideal training space to establishing motivation and incorporating interactive feeding techniques, you now have the tools to make each training session a rewarding and enjoyable experience for both you and your dog.
With Cut The Sit by your side, you're not just investing in your dog's training – you're investing in a lifetime of joyful companionship and mutual understanding. We can't wait to witness the incredible strides you'll make together. Here's to many more happy training sessions and unforgettable moments with your beloved canine companion.
