Dog Whisperer Training Tips

Cesar Millan is famously known as the Dog Whisperer because of his ability to train dogs that have a variety of behavioral problems, from aggression issues to canines who have been mistreated and are terrified of humans. Dog whispering is becoming a widespread trend among dog owners who want to achieve a better relationship with their furry friend and is proving to be an effective method for teaching dogs positive behavior.

  1. Assert Positive Energy

    • One of the most important techniques to developing a better relationship with your dog is to radiate positive energy in all your interactions with it. Dogs are very sensitive creatures and can tell if you are tense or angry. It is crucial that you remain relaxed around your dog, but also at the same time, make sure that you are asserting a strong positive energy vibe. Your assertiveness will tell your pet who is in charge, but not in an aggressive way where it will feel threatened.

    Avoid Spoiling Your Dog

    • A common fault that dog owners are often guilty of is pampering their dog to the point that it becomes a problem. Dogs that are spoiled start to get lazy and expect their owners to give into their every whim. Fortunately, it is possible to regain the control that you have lost by retraining your dog and with a little patience and determination, its behavior can change for the better. A common example of this is giving in to dogs that beg for food at the dinner table. The best way to train dogs to stop begging is to ignore their sad eyes and long faces and not feed them. Eventually your dog will get the message and stop begging.

    Instill Good Habits Early On

    • It is important that you teach your puppy good habits as soon as possible, since these are the habits that will stick with them throughout their life. Although it is possible to teach a dog new tricks, it is much harder than teaching a puppy. Some effective methods on teaching dogs are using a leash to show who is in control and also using your voice and rewarding good behavior with a treat and a pat on the head.
