Can you have a well trained dog?
from:Is certainly a lot more fun for you to have an obedient and
trained dog. Not only that, but trained dogs, are happier dogs.
They are less likely to get into fights with other dogs and will
tend to socialize better with dogs that they meet in public. It
is particularly important to have a well-trained dog if you have
young members of the family or children in the neighborhood.
Just like having well-behaved children, a well-trained dog makes
for a happier household. The time that you spend training your
puppy initially will impact on the pleasure you can get from
your dog for the many years of its life.
Taking the time to train your dog will strengthen the bond you
have together and this will ensure a long and happy friendship
where both you and your dog benefit. Considering the amount of
time that you will be with your dog the time involved in
training is minimal and well worthwhile.
There are a few basic commands that need to be mastered and they
are all relatively simple. These commands are... Down: this is
where you teach your dog to lay down on command, and is one of
the main aspects of any successful training program. Heel: this
is where you teach your dog walk beside you at the same pace
without pulling on the lead. Learning the 'No' word: this is a
particularly important word for your dog to know and can save
you a lot of trouble. In fact it is probably one of the most
important aspects of training, if you can get your dog to
understand and respond to the word no. It can certainly save you
a lot of trouble in the future. Sit: sit is one of the most
basic of all dog training commands and is one that you'll want
to teach from the outset to maintain control of your dog's
behavior. Stay: and finally 'stay' - this is important to ensure
that no matter where you are, you'll know that your dog will
stay precisely where you want it.
If there is nothing else that you train your dog to do beyond
these basic commands, it will certainly improve the relationship
you have with your dog and the enjoyment and happiness that you
and your dog will have together. It is well worth the time while
still a puppy, as it will improve the quality of life for many
years to come.
Training will also let your dog know that you're the boss and in
doing so eliminate many behavior problems. Dogs that are
untrained can often get depressed, despondent, and unhappy and
display symptoms of anxiety and confusion. You are actually
giving your dog a purpose in life, where they will get pleasure
out of the fact that they are pleasing you.
