Getting Your Dog to Behave
from:Your dog may be your best friend, but just like your human
friends he or she can embarrass you in public - you can actually
train your dog to behave, you might not be so lucky with your
human friends. A well trained dog usually means a happy owner
and a contented animal.
Does your dog refuse to sit or stay at your command and does it
bother other people by jumping up and barking? This may be your
dog's natural exuberance getting the better of him but when you
are out in public, not only is it embarrassing for you, it can
be frightening for people who are unsure of themselves around
dogs. If you want to avoid these situations then you need to
start getting your dog to change his behavior now.
In some respects dogs are like children and this means that they
have to be taught how to be social beings without indulging in
anti-social habits. If you are trying to get your dog to respond
to your commands and behave in an acceptable manner, then you
need to instigate regular training sessions. Training a dog to
display acceptable behaviour is not easy if you are a first time
owner. Some people take their dog to professional trainers once
or twice a week but if your budget won't run to that then you
have to fall back on your own resources.
Not quite, there are training books and manuals out there; some
of which come as a complete package, that will take you through
the training sessions one step at a time. Always remember with
dogs that the way to instill the behaviour that you want is by
repetition and reward - losing your temper is counterproductive.
If you get the right package and apply the right amounts of
praise, patience and time you will soon have a well behaved and
probably happier dog.
