As what some human resource training experts say, Training is never about you; it is always about the program and the trainee.
This holds true in dog training.
Your concern should not be about your schedule, not about your mood, and definitely not about your style of learning.
How can you do this? First, you take your focus off yourself.
After you have set clear objectives as to why you need to train your dog, and after deciding to follow some expert's training tips, shift your focus on your dog- his nature, character, needs and condition.
Be ready to accept changes and adjustment needed for your dog's training that includes finding the right space for him and adjusting your schedule to fit in his body clock.
Second, promote a good relationship.
Believe that dogs learn faster when he's happy and willing to obey.
You have to strive hard to be a good leader and compassionate master to him all at the same time.
As a good leader, you guide him and train him to trust and follow your command to keep him out of trouble.
As a compassionate master, you show him that you have the power to control his access to his needs but that power can be turned to his advantage if he behaves well.
Third, make the training program fun and interesting.
Teaching new tricks and skill is always exciting, and learning them is fun and interesting for your dog.
Make the training full of laughter, play, treats and hugs.
Lastly, the secret to an effective training is good communication.
Your dog needs to understand the way you'd like him to behave and why this is important for his wellbeing.
Come to think of it, good communication doesn't need any expertise to hone it.
You only need to look into the basic need universal to all living things -that is lots of love and understanding.
