It\u2019s not about showing your dog who\u2019s boss \u2013 it\u2019s about having fun together and deepening your bond. Being able to guide your dog\u2019s behaviour also helps you keep them, and others, safe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[tails-cta-by-id id=&#8221;4216&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2><b>When should I start training my dog?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The rules you set for a puppy will be the rules they\u2019ll follow into adulthood, so it\u2019s best to start as you mean to go on. But it\u2019s never too late \u2013 despite what they say, you <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">can<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> teach an old dog new tricks. Training can be more of a challenge if your dog wasn\u2019t socialised as a puppy. But with lots of repetition and patience you can still make great progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related blog: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/08\/how-to-socialise-a-new-puppy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How to socialise a new puppy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>How often should I train my dog?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Little and often is best, as this keeps training fast and fun. Grab a few moments when you can throughout the day and run through two or three tricks together. Before meals is ideal \u2013 your dog will be more inclined to work hard for their treats when they\u2019re hungry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4348 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basic-commands-1024x443.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basic-commands-1024x443.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basic-commands-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basic-commands-768x332.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/basic-commands.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><b>Top tips for training<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Positivity, consistency and repetition are the secrets to success when it comes to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">puppy training<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Start simple<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your dog doesn\u2019t understand long sentences, so stick to commands that are just one or two syllables long. \u2018No\u2019 and \u2018sit\u2019 are good starting points. Over time, you can combine these commands to master more complex tricks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Be consistent<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chopping and changing commands will confuse your dog, so settle on a word or phrase for each action and stick with it. Make sure everyone who looks after your dog uses the same commands, otherwise all your hard work could go unrewarded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Praise, don\u2019t punish<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Forget the old-school advice about reprimanding your dog when they do something \u2018wrong\u2019 \u2013 this just teaches them to be fearful. Instead, ignore behaviour you don\u2019t want to see and reward your dog when they get something right. This creates positive experiences that strengthen your bond <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> teach good manners. Win-win.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>React at the right moment<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let your dog know exactly what they did well by rewarding them the instant they do it. At first this can mean always having a treat ready. In time, you can switch to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">clicker training<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> instead \u2013 where you train your dog to recognise a \u2018click\u2019 as a reward so you\u2019re not so reliant on treats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Repeat<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dogs learn by repetition, so practice really does make perfect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Know when to stop<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If your dog seems reluctant, leave their training until later. They\u2019re unlikely to make progress if they\u2019re distracted and that can lead to frustration \u2013 something that\u2019s not fun for either of you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Some basic <\/b><b>dog commands<\/b><b> to try<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These commands are all useful in everyday life, so they make a great starting point in your puppy\u2019s training journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018No\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Important in your puppy\u2019s early days to help cut out bad habits like nibbling or biting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Related blog:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/02\/training-your-puppy-part-1-basic-rules-biting-play\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basic rules and biting play<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Sit\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Useful for getting your dog\u2019s attention and a good distraction if they\u2019re jumping up \u2013 or doing something else you\u2019d rather they didn\u2019t. Resist the urge to push their bottom down, it\u2019s better if they find the right position on their own. You can help by holding a treat in front of them, then slowly moving this towards their face and over their head. As they watch the treat, they\u2019ll naturally move into a sitting pose. As soon as their bottom touches the floor, they\u2019ve earned the treat. Good dog!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Down\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once your dog\u2019s mastered sitting, you can build up to lying down \u2013 another command that\u2019s great for getting their attention and imparting a sense of calm. Again you can help by holding a treat in front of them, then slowly moving this towards the floor. As they watch the treat, they\u2019ll naturally lie down. As soon as they do they\u2019ve earned the treat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Stay\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Comfortable with \u2018sit\u2019 and \u2018down\u2019? Next is <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">how to teach your dog to stay<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> while you gradually move away. Set your dog up for success by building the distance a couple of paces at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Come\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Combine with \u2018stay\u2019 to create a fun game \u2013 while also teaching your dog a skill that\u2019s important for staying safe off the lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Leave it\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This command is useful to stop your dog eating or playing with something they shouldn\u2019t. It\u2019s also great for building trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Bed\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t use this command as a punishment, but rather to signal to your dog that it\u2019s time to have some \u2018dog time\u2019 in their own space. Great for quieter moments, or when you\u2019ve got visitors who are nervous of dogs.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4350 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top-training-tips-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top-training-tips-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top-training-tips-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top-training-tips-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tails.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/top-training-tips.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>How long does it take to train a dog?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With enough practice and patience, mastering a new trick can take as little as a couple of weeks.
