When a dog comes to the life of a person it does from puppy, and the tenderness that causes to see it so small and funny, makes us forget that like any living being has physiological needs and also requires affection, patience, hygiene and education, independently of the material aspect. But how to train your pet?

When we do not consider these aspects, it is difficult to take full responsibility for it and, in the face of the first adversities, resorting to ineffective and pitiful measures such as abandonment.

This type of extreme measures such as abandonment or produce physical alterations to limit their nature, are avoidable to the extent that we devote the necessary time to provide training that allows them to adapt to living with humans.

The reality is that it is not necessary to pay an expensive course for a dog to receive an education, from the trust and affection that one feels towards him, it is easier to teach him and get his behavior to be expected.

Andrea Wolf, author of the book Your dog, your mirror of Ediciones Obelisco , suggests some tips that contribute to the training given, to teach you both some thanks and good habits:

1. Before starting, it is necessary to relax, it is recommended to take a nap or have a cup of tea.
2. You have to select the right place, this should be quiet, without people or distractors such as phones, radio, etc.
3. Care must be taken that the pet is calm. If you have just arrived from work or school, you have to wait until your welcome ritual ends, and then start.
4. It is recommended to design a plan of how many exercises are going to be carried out, ideally starting from less to more.
5. It is important to give only one order at a time, so you will have the opportunity to correctly process the task before switching to something else.
6. You have to speak slowly and clearly. The orders must have few words and short ones.
7. Only the necessary thing is spoken with the pet, that is to say, it is necessary to give the order and the corresponding praise, nothing else.
8. During the exercises it is not recommended to caress him or have emotional contact with him.
9. If the dog did not understand the instruction and therefore does not obey, it must be repeated slowly and deliberately.
10. It is recommended to use motivational objects, such as food or toys that are given while praising him. Of course, it is not recommended that one show great enthusiasm with their achievements.

Dedicate a few minutes a day to the pet to teach the correct way to unwind in their new home, is an excellent sample for her and for oneself that the longing to stay together, is permanent and will not end when you stop being a puppy or when his behavior is not the one we had dreamed of.

The friendship with the so-called "best friend of man" must also be built with the same dedication and commitment that is made with a human being. "Self-esteem is the strength of your voice." If you want to know more information write to bojorge@teleton.org.mx
