A dog is a mans best friend because he can be trained to obey commands. While all breeds of dogs are easily domesticated, we prefer that the dogs living with us follow some rules and project the right behavior.

Thus, we train them. Everything you do with the pet dog should be fun and training should also be the same. However, any dog owner would say that training is a difficult process. Your dog has to respond to the training positively.

To help us achieve this, many trainers use treats as a form of positive motivation. Some dogs are content with a pat on the head while others need some other incentives. Treating your dog reinforces the good behavior in him. Do this by giving him his favorite things as treats.

The treats can be some food or his favorite toy. This method must be used together with a lot of praising for something the dog has learned and done well.

Treats make the dog look forward to the training and open to learning new things. They become highly responsive when they are having a good time. The key thing to remember while training the animal is to be consistent.

Reward the dog for a good deed immediately. If you reward for something later, he will not remember what it is for. He may think that it is for something he has just done that my have not been a good deed at all! It is better to have only one master training the dog rather than all the members of the family. All members should be made to follow the same set of commands so as to not confuse the dog. Ask them to reward him for good behavior.
