Dog Obedience 101, What You Can't Afford To Ignore
from:What every dog owner wants is an obedient dog. However, dog
obedience is also a major frustration to many because their dog
can't seem to differentiate "sit" from its paws. Before teaching
any other trick to your dog, it is of primary importance that
you teach your dog obedience. Without this characteristic, there
is very little likelihood of your dog obeying your other
commands.
According to many dog trainers, the most fundamental step to dog
obedience is the "Sit" command. One this has been learned by
your dog, the rest of the tricks and other commands will be easy
to follow. Thinking about it, I believe there is some logic to
it. You see, dogs are very restless animals, and teaching it to
stay where it is by sitting surely will make the dog agitated
because letting it sit means it will be stationary wherever it
is. Therefore, if a dog obeys this command, it will also find it
easier to obey other rules.
So many things have been written on training dogs how to sit.
This is really very basic but will require lots of patience from
you. Your dog or puppy may not be interested in this obedience
training, so hard work is something that you should expect. Let
me show you how to train your puppy to sit.
What you will need is only one item: dog treats. Once you have
this, you need to put yourself and your dog in a place where you
cannot be disturbed by other people like spectators.
Put the treat on one hand and let the dog smell it or see it.
Raise your hand with threat over the dog's head moving to the
back. The dog is expected to sit as it follows the treat with
its eyes. Once the dog's rear hits the floor, say "Sit" and give
him the treat. You may also follow this up with praises
vocalized in exciting tone. Repeat this process three to five
times then let the dog go.
Training can be very taxing, stressful, and really boring for
dogs. So the ideal training methodology is to keep it short but
repeated several times. You may train your dog three or five
times a day.
Others use what we call clicker dog training. Clicker training
is a methodology in which you use a clicker, the sound if which
is what the dog associates with the treat. In effect, you do not
say "Sit" during clicker training. Although the methodology of
the treat and putting your hand over its head is the same, you
press the clicker and once the sound is produced, you give the
dog your treat. Once the dog almost understands the idea that if
its rear reaches the floor and he gets a treat, say 80% of the
time during clicker training, you may then replace the clicker
sound with the word "sit".
Training your dog to be obedient is not something that you
should expect to happen in days. This can take weeks and even
months. Whenever you train animals, always think that it will
benefit you, not them. So you have to think long term. Either
you practice patience now and teach your dog obedience or you'll
feel sorry later on.
