Be patient with you dog
Early training can often be done by the owner with the help of a training manual. It requires much patience, however, coupled with a good understanding of the dog’s temperament, capabilities, and reactions. Listen to dog training tips. A dear friend told me that commands should be given firmly but never with shouts. Now I can add to that. Be prepared for hard work. Training a dog is not done overnight. You have to be committed to training the dog so that he will know what is off limits to him. Each dog is different, but remember, you are the owner and you will have to stay in control.
