1. As I suggested at the start, most people fail because they are not committed. I guess this is nothing new as lack of commitment in anything you decide to do will lead to poor results. Remaining committed is a constant process of refocusing on what initially motivated you and then remaining disciplined. Renew in your head why you began to train your pet. Imagine the satisfaction that you will get from having a stronger relationship with your dog than merely playing fetch with him from time to time. Consider the peace of mind that you will get knowing that your dog will be well behaved in the wider community. Committed also includes having the energy to learn. Find out more about your breed of dog. Investigate new training methods and determine what works well for your dog. Never stop learning about your pet or the breed of your dog. This will improve your relationship with him and give you inspiration when it comes to training. 2.Not being consistent. This will happen when you bore with teaching the same thing repeatedly and want to move onto something new. You have to go at your dogs pace, not yours. You have to consistently repeat the command until your pet has it down to a tee. Keep it simple and straightforward to begin. Importantly, you should never move onto another command until you know that the dog understands the one you are teaching. Your dog will also get bored at times so don't make your session too long. 3.Being negative rather than positive in your training methods. Don't punish a dog for not doing a command correctly or failing to understand what you asked of it. This is cruel to the dog but also confusing. Ultimately, pain will have a negative affect on the animal and lead to psychological problems. Results have shown that positive reinforcement, through encouragement and even a reward, is far more effective. Quickly your pet will want to please you and this will make training easier for both of you. 4.Being closed to new ideas. Don't stick to one idea because it was recommended by so and so who is a professional dog trainer or a best selling dog training book. All tips and techniques are not gospel and are open to modification or amendment based on your real experiences. You see, dogs are just the same as humans in that they learn at different paces and pick up things differently. As you continue to work with your pet you will get a better idea of the best and most effective methods. 5. Strive to get a balance between keeping the training interesting but stay consistent. Avoid making the training too predictable and dull. Think of things that can spice it up from time to time. This will always depend on how your dog responds to new environments but why not try moving to different locations for the training. Maybe try a touch of playing before the lesson begins and then keep the lesson short. Mix the peripheral things up but try to keep the core one command per lesson consistent.
