Teach dog boundaries
Teach dog boundaries
In the beginning of any training experience, the dog will learn more rapidly if it can see what it has to learn.
- With visible boundaries, it is easier for the dog to learn.
- You can do this with stakes, ribbons, wire, or flags.
- For instance, we have trained our dog not to go into the living room.
- Mark off the area you wish the dog to stay within.
- Start by walking the dog on a leash towards the area.
- When the dog crosses the marked boundary line, give your dog a verbal "no" and pop them with the leash (a sudden pull and release). When they get back to where they below, give verbal praise.
- It is important to repeat this procedure at different places and at different times along the boundaries.
- It may take weeks for some dogs and months for others to learn these boundaries.
- It is important to be consistent with your training and never allow the dog to cross the boundaries.
If this fails, the following can be used:
- An electric fence
- An electric shock collar
- An invisible fence
- A shock foot pad
