In training your dog, you can easily avoid stressful situations by following a few rules.

When you visit the park with your untrained dog, do not expect it to know all the tricks and the games like the other dogs. Your dog can learn the very same antics but the new lessons will take some time.  Secondly, try not to lose your temper and avoid hitting your dog, for it will only cause harm to your relationship and will not solve the problem or make the dog obey your orders. Thirdly, never let your dog become the master in your relationship, for it cannot control its behavior and might become a danger to itself and others. You have to take the leadership role from the very beginning. Fourthly, never give up on your dog; dogs love to learn especially when rewarded and they are intelligent creatures. Just give your dog time and it will respond to your training. Lastly, you have to be consistent with your orders until they are carried out. Try to use the same commanding words to enforce the same action. Rewarding your dog with play time or verbal praise also helps during repetitive lessons.

If you follow those 5 simple rules, you will be saved from many frustrations encountered when training a dog and you will enjoy a healthier, happier relationship.
