Train Your Dog with Confidence
Positive reinforcement techniques that actually work — from basic commands to advanced behavioral training.
4 Golden Rules of Dog Training
Start with 'Sit'
The foundation of all obedience training. Use a treat to lure your dog into position, say 'sit', and reward immediately.
Keep sessions short
5–10 minutes per session is ideal. Dogs learn better with frequent short sessions than long exhausting ones.
Always end positively
End every training session on a success, even if it means going back to a command your dog already knows well.
Consistency is everything
Use the same words, hand signals, and rules every time. Inconsistency is the #1 cause of slow progress.
