Feeding Time Should Be Training Time For Your Dog
Share: Using Food Daily to Promote Good Obedience
Any guesses as to why feeding time is extremely important? In simple words feeding time is when the dog is hungry and therefore will do anything you say for eating the food. The owner has the power to either feed him or starve him and the pets look at you as his supplier of food. This means that the owner plays an important role in the lives of the pets. One should thus learn to use it to their advantage.
Your Advantage
As the pet owner since you possess this role it is time to use it for your benefit. Feeding time should be looked at with the element of training involved in it. This means that as you feed your dog he is expected to do something in return for it. Never feed your dog without expecting anything in return from it. But, here we want our dogs to do something pleasant and not barking and jumping. This is especially important while dealing with extremely energetic dog breeds.
Share: TIP: Consistent Feeding
The feeding time should always be the same every day and it is important to maintain consistency. It is indeed worse to keep the dog guessing as to when he would get his next meal. Ideal feeding time would be morning before your work and evening after your work. It is also important that the same person feed the dog every day. It is especially important for the puppies to know from an early age as to who the leader is.
Feeding Time
When feeding the dog it is good to use the terms like food so that the dogs know what to expect. As the food bowl is being filled up it is necessary to notice the behavior of the dog. In case he is barking and jumping then give him a strict No and wait. If this sort of behavior persists then ignore him till he stops. This will make the dog realize that his behavior is only making his wait for the food prolonged.
Before placing the bowl in front of him, he should be told to sit down and not feed him till he is quite.
Be Persistent!
The owner of the dog need not be discouraged if the dogs behavior as long as the attempts to make the dog learn good habits, he will definitely learn. Soon, the dog will understand that the best way to get food quickly is by keeping quite.
It Doesn't Stop At Feeding Time
Apart from feeding the other times should also be used to teach him manners. For example, before going for a walk it should be made sure that the dog is waiting patiently rather that jumping around. If he is not behaving then dont leave. Dogs are very intelligent animals and they learn from experience. If sitting patiently gets them what they want then they would happily comply. But, the owner should never forget to give him praise for being good and rewarding him as this encourages bonding and good behavior as well.
