As you improve your skills as the teacher, it will in turn improve your dog’s ability to more quickly understand and generalize new behaviors.

In this article, I’m going to break down 5 daily hacks to speed up your dog’s learning process and ultimately help you raise a well-mannered pup. Because who doesn’t want that?!

Here’s a quick overview of the 5 daily hacks for training a dog faster:

1- Use mealtime for training

2- Try mini training sessions, every day

3- Routine-based training behaviors

4- Incorporate training into playtime

5- Use strong reinforcers & avoid mixed signals

Training a dog takes time, patience, and consistency. And while your dog’s training progress might feel slow, it’s probably going better than you think!

And while we didn’t dive deep into specific techniques in this article, I’d recommend signing up for 30 Day Perfect Pup if you’re needing specific training techniques and advice.
