How’s your new dog, John? He’s great! I’ve wanted a dog for so long. It feels so good to finally have one! How’s the training going? Well, to be honest, I’m struggling with
it a little. It’s much harder than I imagined it would
be. Do you have any advice? To start with, you ought to set clear house
rules, such as whether the dog is allowed on the furniture, or in certain rooms. By doing this, both you and your dog will
understand the rules clearly. As a result, it will be easier for the dog
to u
nderstand what kind of behavior is permitted and what isn’t. OK, that makes sense. My dog is still very young, and it seems like
he’s having trouble relaxing. What can I do to help him relax? In this kind of situation, experts recommend
that you give your dog a warm hot water bottle in his sleeping area and place a ticking clock
nearby. By doing this, you imitate the warmth and
heartbeat of his littermates. Consequently, your dog will feel more comfortable
in his sleeping area and will relax. Wo
w, I never would have thought of that. It’s also really important to reward good
behavior so that your dog learns what he should or shouldn’t do. I’ve heard about that. How would I do it? How about using treats or lots of praise and
attention when he does something good? By doing this repeatedly, your dog will learn
to associate the good behavior with positive things. As a result, he’ll be more likely to do
what you want him to do in the future. Wow, thanks Julie. I’ll follow your advice. No pro
blem! Hopefully I can meet your dog soon. Let’s meet at the park on Saturday – we
can take him for a walk together!
