How to Make Your Dog More Obedient
Introduction
Training your dog is an important part of having a well-behaved pet, but it's also a lot of work. You have to be consistent and clear with the training process, reward positive behavior, and make sure that your dog is having fun while he does what he needs to do. Here are some tips for making obedience training easier for both you and Fido:
Be consistent.
Consistency is the key to training. If you want your dog to listen and obey, then he needs to be able to see that you mean what you say. This can be tricky because sometimes dogs don't know what they're doing or thinking when they're acting out of character—but if we treat our dogs like children, then they'll act like children too!
First off: Be consistent with your tone of voice. Your voice should always remain calm even when disciplining a dog for misbehavior (unless it's an emergency situation). The same goes for body language; if there is any sign that your dog thinks he's in trouble, immediately stop whatever action was being taken until he understands this isn't okay anymore! It also helps if you never forget to reward good behavior as well as bad behavior; rewarding dogs who listen by offering treats or playtime afterward shows them that their actions were correct ones after all.”

Be calm and clear.
When you're training your dog, there are some things that you should remember. First, be calm and clear when giving a command. Don't get angry or frustrated if your dog doesn't listen; instead, try again later with less intensity. If the same thing happens again and again, then it's time for an adjustment in how you teach the command itself—maybe even changing its name altogether (for example: “Sit” could become “Down”).
When someone asks me what my advice would be for people who want their dogs trained well but don't know where to start (or who have been unsuccessful), I say: take it one day at a time!
Use a mind map to help you stay organized.
If you're like me, and have a lot of ideas in your head but they're all over the place, then mind maps can help.
A mind map is an organized way to organize your thoughts. You can use them for any topic—not just school! They are especially helpful for studying for an exam. The idea behind a mind map is that by placing different items on top of each other (like words), it makes them easier for you to see how related they are and where those connections are going.
If you're looking for a puppy, the best thing to do is talk to your veterinarian. They can help you find reputable breeders who are able to provide information on how they raise their puppies in addition to their health records and lineageIt's easy to get overwhelmed in the beginning, especially if you're not sure what your dog is capable of or what you should be teaching him. If this is the case, then it can help to take a step back and look at what your dog knows at this moment—and then build on that knowledge Mind maps can be used for many different types of topics. I use them for studying and learning new things, but you can also use them for brainstorming ideas, making plans or lists of things to do...
Use treats to reward positive behavior, not just obedience.
There are many ways to reward a dog, and treats are one of the best. They can be used to reward good behavior, not just obedience. Treats should only be given when the dog is calm and relaxed, so try not to use them as a bribe or treat for every little thing your pup does right!
Treats should also not be given if there's any chance that they'll end up getting chewed on by your pet (or worse). On the other hand, some dogs love getting one of their favorite toys out of their toy box when they've stopped being naughty!
Be patient with progression steps.
The first and most important lesson to learn is that your dog is not a human. He does not have the same brainpower as you or me, so you shouldn't expect him to understand everything at once. It will take time for them to learn new things, but it's important not to get frustrated if they don't understand something immediately.
It can be helpful also if you put yourself in their shoes when trying out new commands; remember how hard it was for humans when they first started learning things?
Be consistent with verbal commands, treats, and boundaries.
One of the most important things you can do for your dog is be consistent with verbal commands, treats and boundaries.
Consistency means that you don’t give them one thing one day, then something different the next day. If you are inconsistent, your dog will be confused and not learn as easily. It also takes longer to train them because they have to figure out what they did wrong or right in order to get rewarded or punished appropriately.
You can also give your pet some praise and affection when they've done something good. Be sure to use positive reinforcement, though! Dogs learn by association and repetition, so if you're only ever giving treats as a reward, they might not learn any other way to behaveIf you are having trouble with the commands, try breaking them down into smaller pieces. This will make it easier for your dog to understand what is expected of himIn order to be consistent, you need to be able to read your dog’s body language. If they don’t understand what you are saying or doing, then they will not know how to react… You can also get advice from an expert, which can be invaluable.
Make it fun for your dog by letting him choose what he does with the commands and treats – if it's something that he's interested in, he'll work harder at it!

- Use a fun toy or treat to reward your dog when they do what you ask of them. If they don't like the toy or treat, then use another one until they do. This will ensure that your dog is getting enough positive reinforcement for their behavior to improve over time
- Be patient with your dog
- Take it slow and be consistent
- Don't expect too much too soon!
- Don't get frustrated if you don't see results immediately
