Perfect Puppy: Attention (part3)

Before you can teach the puppy to anything else, you need to attract his attention. In most cases it is necessary that the puppy was aware of your presence and quickly switched to you when you ask it. When the puppy is older, you can develop a more sustained, focused attention.

The easiest way to get the necessary attention - is to demand it every time before you give your puppy what he wants. If he wants to walk, wait until he looks at you, and only then open the door. If he wants to withdraw from the cell, wait until between you is established eye contact, and only then release it. If he wants to play, first, wait until he is concentrating on you. Include this requirement in any of your work together very easily. Gradually increase the time during which the dog must look at you before you get what she wants. Always encourage the puppy's attention one way or another. Use a clicker and a treat, the verbal marker, and the game, or let the dog do what it wants. For example, imagine that your puppy terribly anxious to shake hands with one of his friends. Just wait and Achieve that he drew the attention on you, even just glanced, and then let him talk. For your puppy's attention will be the key to all the nice things.
