Training a dog can be a rewarding journey, but consistency and patience are key! One of the first steps in helping your dog understand good behavior is by keeping a set routine. Dogs thrive with structure, so try to keep meal times, potty breaks, and playtime consistent. When they know what to expect, they’re more likely to feel secure and learn faster.
Another helpful tip is using positive reinforcement to encourage the behaviors you want to see more often. Rewarding your pup with treats, praise, or a favorite toy when they do something right helps them connect actions to positive outcomes. Keep training sessions short and sweet—dogs can get tired quickly, especially puppies or energetic breeds.
