You may encounter a number of major challenges during dog training. Knowing what they are allows you to avoid them and make better progress. The number one danger new dog trainers face, is expecting too much from their dogs too soon.
Dogs are intelligent animals and it's easy to expect too much of them from day one. Don't expect your dog to behave as well as the others in the park if you haven't taken the time it takes to train it properly. Results like this just won't happen. This expectation sets you and your dog up for failure.
The second big mistake dog owners make is losing their temper. Yelling at your dog doesn't achieve anything except confuse it and hitting your dog is always wrong. To make sure you never fall into the trap of losing your cool with your dog, make a conscious decision to never yell or raise your voice with your dog under any circumstances.
The third big mistake dog owners make is to let their dogs become the Alpha Dog. When dogs think that they are the leader of your family, they become a danger to themselves and to others. Make sure you take the leadership role from day 1.
The 4th major mistake made that many dog owners make is to give up. When things aren't working out, giving up is a very easy option to take. Just remember that dogs love to learn, they are very intelligent and able to learn many things, and that learning (or mentally challenging your dog) is very important to your dogs health.
The last major mistake dog owners make is not being consistent. Consistency is one of the absolute fundamentals of successful dog training. Always use the same commands and be repetitive. It is the best way to teach your dog.
Hopefully now that you know the top 5 dog training mistakes, you will be able to avoid them.
