Dogs are remarkable animals capable of learning a variety of complex behaviors if owners commit a little time each and train in small steps using patience and understanding. In this article, we have listed 15 dog training tips which will help you to achieve this goal.

1. Don't be cruel to your dog. If you strike your dog out of frustration, it will only learn to fear you. Give it love, nourishment, and a healthy diet and exercise. This will ensure that your dog is at its peak, both mentally and physically.

2. In the beginning stages, be sure you don't use the dog's name to get him to look at you, say his name after he looks at you. After a day or two, you should start to see the dog get whiplash looking at you when you say his name.

3. Spending quality time with your dog, either playing, grooming or exercising, alls you to keep a close eye on their health

4. If the dog does something great, reinforce within a half second. If the dog does something less than desirable, wait for a full five to ten seconds after he stops doing the unwanted behavior, redirect to a better behavior, and then reinforce.

5. There are four magic words to use instead of "No" - "Come", "Sit", "Stay" and "Give" Once your dog has learned what these behaviors mean, use them instead.
