Your pet’s proper training is an essential facet to integrating a healthy and happy pet into your household. Dog training doesn’t need to be complicated! At Mighty Pet, you will find that we’ve broken proper pet training down into some simple tips, so you’ll be on your way to an even more fulfilling relationship with your pup in no time!

Consistency:
Consistency means repetition in small chunks of time. Five minutes of training at mealtime, 15-20 minutes while you’re fixing dinner, or even those few minutes at potty break is what will make the most impact! Remember, consistency is small chunks of time throughout your day! With consistency, even old dogs can learn new tricks!

Routine:
Both WHAT you are training and WHEN you are training your furry friend should be relatively consistent. Dogs have simple minds, and they adhere and respond best to your constant and routine behaviors. Remember Pavlov’s dog? Ringing a bell to get a snack consistently without a routine as to WHEN to ring the bell would most definitely confuse any pooch!

Patience:
Without patient, calm obedience, your dog may turn the tables on you and take over the house. Mental focus trumps physical exercise when needing to calm a dog’s mind and reduce destructive behavior. We want you to ENJOY your relationship with your dog. A well-rounded pup makes for a happier household and more joint activities to enjoy together!
