  1. Key secrets to remember in Dog Training
    While training your dog please remember:·Do not punish the dog. Punishment is not a training aid. It does little to foster willingness to learn and achieve.

Refrain from hitting or physically abusing the dog. ·Display extreme levels of patience and persistence – never give up; if you do, you are relinquishing your status as the dominant one. The dog is bound by nature and genetics to test how far he can p…

  17. The Basics of Dog Obedience Training for Your New Pet By Kevin Simmons
