Dogs can be man’s best friend, but a poorly behaved dog can be a nuisance, and even a danger. Learn the proper techniques to train a dog.
狗是人們的好朋友，但是一條表現差勁的狗很令人討厭，甚至給別人帶來危險。學些合適的技巧來訓練你的小狗吧。

Step 1: Be the leader
Establish yourself as the leader of the pack. This can be as simple as walking your dog on a leash. Dogs have a pack mentality and once your leadership is clear, you will have an easier time getting the responses you want.
第一步：當領導者
把你自己當做領導者。這可以簡單到牽著去遛狗。狗有著思想上的控制，一旦你的領導地位明確了，負起責任來就會容易很多。

Step 2: Don't be too strict
Avoid being too strict too early in your training, which can have a negative effect on your dog. Observe your dog and learn about its behavior to better communicate with it.
第二步：不要太嚴格
在早期訓練階段不要太嚴格，太嚴格會對狗產生消極的影響。仔細觀察你的狗，掌握些它的行為以便更好地和它交流。

Step 3: Reward good behavior
Reward your dog’s good behavior. When it obeys a command, such as “come,” "sit, " “fetch,” “stay,” or “stop barking,” praise your dog verbally, pet it, or give it a treat.
第三步：狗有好的表現要給予獎勵
狗有好的表現要給予相應獎勵。當它遵守命令，比如“來”，“做下”“取東西”“呆在原地”活著“不要叫”，要口頭獎勵你的狗，輕撫它，或者給它些好吃的。

Step 4: Ignore bad behavior
Ignore bad behavior. Don’t make the mistake of petting your dog if it jumps on you when you walk in the door. Instead, simply ignore it. This will break an association with barking or jumping and getting attention.
第四步：忽略不好的行為
忽略不好的行為。如果你一進屋，狗就撲到你身上來，不要輕拍它。應該忽略這種行為，這樣就會使狗不會去叫或是跳起來引起注意。
Tip:Yelling may be interpreted as good attention by a dog. Many dogs interpret any attention as good attention.
小貼士：狗可能把你的訓斥當做你正在關注它。許多狗都會把注意當做好事。

Step 5: Develop a routine
Maintain a training routine. It could be five or 10 minutes at a time, several times a week. Keeping a routine will help your dog develop good habits.
第五步：定期訓練
定期訓練。一周要訓練幾次，每次訓練5到10分鐘，定期訓練會幫助狗形成好的習慣。

Step 6: Never ignore aggression
Never ignore signs of aggression in your dog. If it is prone to bite, growl, or curl its lip, the aggressive behavior must be addressed right away. Give a firm “NO” when the behavior is exhibited in a puppy. It’s never too early to start training your dog.
第六步：不要忽略狗的侵犯行為。
不要忽略狗的侵犯行為。如果它要咬，狂吠或是呲牙，這種侵犯行為必須馬上制止。如果狗有這樣的行為，要堅決的對它說“不”。盡早訓練狗是應該的。
