The American Kennel Club says that the best way to train dogs commands is through using positive reinforcement practices.
, and with a little training they can pick up a series of commands and orders—but owners need to train their dogs in the correct way.
According to the American Kennel Club , the foundation of a dog's training should be based on positive reinforcement. "Positive reinforcement is the process of giving a dog a reward to encourage the behavior you want, like getting a paycheck for going to work. The idea is not to bribe with the behavior but to train it using something your dog values," the pet registry says.
This reward can look like a new toy, your dog's favorite treat or even just some praise and attention. "Avoid using punishment such as leash corrections or yelling. Punishment can cause a dog to become confused and unsure about what is being asked of them. It is important to remember that we can't expect dogs to know what they don't yet know. Patience will go a long way in helping your new puppy learn how to behave," the AKC adds.Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to life@newsweek.
