At-home dog training is the art of creating a language based on mutual trust. In this guide, we will explain how you can be successful in the comfort of your home under the guidance of Paviento, without hiring a professional trainer. Why At-Home Training? Your dog's home is where they spend the most time. Learning rules in their own environment increases retention. Additionally, at-home training incredibly strengthens the bond with their owner (that is, you). 3 Golden Rules for Success: Patience: Your dog doesn't speak English; you are teaching them a new language. Consistency: If the "no couch" rule is valid today, it must also be valid tomorrow. Timing: Rewards or feedback should be given the moment the behavior occurs (within the first 2-3 seconds). In What Order Should You Progress? Start training with basic needs: Potty training, responding to their name, and the "Come" command. Then move on to obedience commands like "Sit" and "Stay". Personalized training plans within the Paviento app automatically adjust this sequence for you based on your dog's breed and age. Training is not a destination, but a journey. You are not alone on this journey; Paviento’s AI assistant is by your side 24/7 whenever you get stuck.
