Get your Dog's Undivided Attention: Training a dog requires a whole lot of patience, persistence and perseverance, what it means is that before you can succeed in training your dog effectively you have to keep trying no matter how hard it may seem at the beginning and do not give up on him easily. Also ensure that you have his full and undivided attention by pampering and giving him treats once in a while.

A crate is also a safe way of transporting your dog in the car, as well as a way of taking him where he may not be welcome to run freely. If you properly train your dog to use the crate, he'll think of it as his safe place and will be happy to spend time there when needed.
