Most people love their furry companions. However, not every moment is enjoyable when your dog isn't trained to behave in specific ways or avoid unwanted behaviors.
There are many techniques passed on from unknown sources that tell you the best ways to get your dog not to do something. But what is the best method, and how do you use these techniques?
Learn the most common methods for how to train your dog, as well as what techniques not to use.
There are two common methods of training a dog.
The first is the aversive-based method. The second is the reward-based method. Aversive-based (discipline) training is when you use positive punishment and negative reinforcement techniques with your dog. Reward-based methods use rewards only for the behaviors that you want your dog to follow.
Aversive-based training uses techniques like loud, unpleasant noises, physical corrections, and harsh scoldings to get your dog to act the way you want. On the other hand, reward-based training uses rewards whenever your dog does something you want it to do. Treats, belly rubs, or other dog-pleasing actions are used to reinforce that a behavior was good.

Super Special Stella the Sausage Dog has malformed eyes. She can see some and never lets her limited vision slow her down. She’s so brave. A little too brave at times. She’s always so dang cute. #doxie #doxiesofinstagram #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #specialneedspup #toocute #readingridingrandomness #puppylove #puppytraining #puppyofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ChcjMMCrlvE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Teaching your dog basic obedience is also a necessity. While an obedient dog is a pleasure to be around, the opposite is also true – a disobedient dog can be a real pain!
You can take your dog’s training to a much higher level if you choose to, of course. But at the very minimum, your dog should learn to respond to the following basic commands:
Sit. This basic command helps you to keep control of your dog no matter the situation, and is a good command to teach first.
Drop. This teaches your dog to instantly drop whatever is in its mouth. (Could save your dog from harm if it ever picks up something dangerous or toxic.)
Stay. Teaches your dog to remain still, calm, and in one place.
Heel. Teaches your dog to stay close to you as you walk, with or without a lead.
Come. Teaches your dog to immediately come to you upon your command. You should begin to teach this command to your puppy as soon as it recognizes its name. This command could potentially help you protect your puppy from harm.
There are a number of dog-training methods available for teaching your dog these commands, but we recommend positive reinforcement as the best method.
Positive reinforcement rewards wanted behavior rather than punishing unwanted behavior. This method of training makes learning more enjoyable for your dog, and will help to strengthen the bond between you and your pet.
