It can be a wonderful thing having a dog in the family. Just remember it is not a family to a dog it's a pack and you are the boss the Alpha. Your dog will follow your lead so be clear in your commands and caring in your demeanor.

1. Avoid confusing your dog as to who is its trainer. Remember different people use different methods when training dogs, even the slightest difference in tone of command or temperament can mean different things to a dog.

2. You should reward. Good responses deserve reward, but do not be surprised if that response is slow coming, as dogs are not as humans, words are not a dogs chosen language, it takes time and patience and repetition.

3. Try to teach one command at a time; do not move on until your dog understands what is wanted of it. This will also strengthen your dogs understanding of you and it will respond more favourably with each new command. Remember, reward good response.

4. When training your dog using voice commands be cheerful in yourself, your dog can feel your temperament. Dogs respond better to a low firm coaxing voice. If you are loud, aggressive or sharp your dog will be startled and not respond as you intended.

5. When training your dog try not to train in the same place every time, change your training location, go to the park or the garden. You do not want a situation where your dog only responds to your commands when you are in the house.

6. We all like to socialise with your friends, so it is with dogs they too can form friendships with other dogs. But be firm if your dog starts to get too excited and play up and not respond to you. Be firm but not aggressive. Above all be patient, persistent, caring and firm. You are the leader.
