To maximize her learning potential and make sure you both enjoy the training experience, keep the following basic tips mind: When teaching new skills, keep training sessions short and sweet Like kids, dogs 't have attention spans. There's no hard-and-fast rule, but ideal average training session should last 15 minutes or less. Within that session, you can work on one skill or switch between a few different skills. To keep things interesting, try doing 5 to 15 repetitions of one behavior and then doing 5 to 15 repetitions of another behavior. You can also practice new skills and keep old ones polished by doing single repetitions at convenient times throughout the day. For example, before giving your dog a tasty new chew bone, ask her to sit or lie down to earn it. For dogs, English is a second language Dogs aren't born understanding English. They can learn the significance of specific words, like sit and walk and treat, but when humans bury those familiar words complex sentences, dogs sometimes have difficulty understanding. They can also get confused when people use different words for the same thing. For example, some people confuse their dogs by saying, Fluffy, down! one day and Sit down, Fluffy! another day. Then they wonder why Fluffy doesn't respond the same way every time. When teaching your dog a cue or command, decide on just one word or phrase, and make sure you and your family use it clearly and consistently. Take baby steps Dogs, just like people, learn best when new tasks are broken down into small steps. For example, you can't go out and line dance unless you learn all of the individual steps first! When teaching your dog a new skill, begin with easy first step and increase difficulty gradually. If you're training your dog to stay, start by asking her to stay for just 3 seconds. After some practice, try increasing the duration of her stay to 8 seconds. When your dog has mastered 8-second stay, make things a little harder by increasing the time to 15 seconds. Over the next week or two, continue to gradually increase the duration of the stay from 15 seconds to 30 seconds to a minute to a few minutes, etc. By training systematically and increasing difficulty slowly, you'll help your dog learn faster the run. Work on only one part of a skill at a time of the skills we want our dogs to learn are complex. For instance, if you want to train a solid sit-stay, you'll need to work on teaching your dog that she should stay a sitting position until you release her she should stay while you move
