When someone praises us, we immediately accept it and smile. However, the same is not true for our pets. We never know if they acknowledged and appreciated the way we praised them. And to know this, you must experiment with the following:
- What pitch of voice your dog likes? Does he react on a high-pitch voice or low pitch noise? When you are trying to praise your dog, ensure that you are smiling. Dogs are genuine and they can detect authenticity. You can experiment with the verbal praise and write below what kind of verbal praise your dog likes.
- What kind of physical touch your dog appreciates? Does your canine love when you rough up its fur? Or does your dog get happy when you pat him softly? You need to try different touches and write how your dog likes to be physically touched.
- As you have experimented with combining two types of praise, you must record what you have learnt.
- Either your dog will respond to the praise and you will know the right way to praise him. Alternatively, he might not like any of the experiments and in this case, you must teach him to accept praise. While puppy training in NYC shall help your dog appreciate and acknowledge praise, you can take some efforts by yourself.
