Following are few dog obedience tips meant to guide a new owner of dog. First, don’t hit the dog, as it will not help at all. On the contrary, it can make the dog bark at you, in order to defend himself. Moreover keep your cool, if the dog requires some time to be acquainted with the rules of your home. Don’t forget, he is not familiar with living in a house, so in all likelihood, it will take him some time before he is acquainted with your home. Also begin with elementary commands initially such as sit and heel, prior to teaching him more advanced commands. Also buy a dog crate, since it is a wonderful training tool.
