A New Dog In The House? Take The Time To Train It
from:There is a lot of literature and resources widely available in
this area that give plenty of theoretical advice but it can be
easier to learn through observation and practice. A professional
trainer who runs obedience and training classes for dogs
recognizes the various subtleties that cannot be taught by a
book and passes this information on to those who attend their
class in the hope of fully training their dog. Experienced
instructors will advise their students on where they are going
wrong and how to adequately respond to various behaviors. These
classes are easier if the dogs are puppies but even older dog,s
bad behavior can be conformed with some patience and a bit of
effort. An instructor will guide the new dog owners with the
timings of their rewards and how to effectively communicate with
the dog as well as how facial expressions and body gestures can
affect the process.
The first things that are often taught are basic obedience
lessons; they should concentrate on encouraging the dog to obey
its owner's commands instantaneously. Topics can include house
training, socialization, correct behavior on walks and respect
of property such as furniture. These experiences are applied in
real life circumstances and the dog owners are encouraged to
repeat the lessons that they have learned in class as dogs often
perform in a classroom atmosphere but change dramatically in
public. The skills can only be mastered if practice is
continually available and eventually the dog will become
perfectly obedient to its owner's instructions.
Concentrating on using obedience classes to train a dog may seem
like a lot of time and effort has been consumed but in the long
run it saves time and effort as an obedient, well trained dog is
much easier to handle and live with. Walks become simple
experiences and do not involve the dog straining at the leash or
the owner becoming frustrated. The dog will have learned to
respect the property of the household and knows its place in the
family. They will not willfully disobey their owner and can
behave acceptably in front of new company.
Some dogs can be trained further according to their temperament.
They may be suitable as a working dog, rescue dog or even a
therapy dog and this requires additional training although basic
obedience training is at the core of this process. Whether a dog
is simply kept as a pet or has some other valuable use, the
importance of good training is paramount. Only a reliable dog
can be depended upon in certain situations and a well trained
dog is one that can be trusted with strangers, children, other
animals and property. Some breeds of dog are thought to be quick
learners but any dog can be trained. Although it is not just the
dog that is being trained in an obedience class; both the dog
and its owner are learning as a team to work together.
