Dog Obedience Training Tips
from:Obedience training is probably the best thing you can ever do
for yourself and your dog. It should be noted that dog obedience
training will not resolve all dog behavior problems. However,
it's a very useful foundation for resolving most of the dog
behavior problems you'll encounter.
Dog obedience training comes in several flavors. The most
popular type is basic obedience, where you teach your dog how to
sit, stay, fetch and lay down. There is also a more advanced
training that can be used for purebred dog on how to behave
during a dog show. The basic type of training also has several
different methods that are currently popular. Many owners use
rewards to get their dogs to behave or listen to commands.
Others prefer the clicker method in order to condition their
dogs to obey.
Most dog behavior problems can be addressed with proper home
training. Obedience training is a commitment by the owner and
the dog. You'll need a lot of patience if you want to be
successful at home obedience training. Most dogs behavior
problems show-up because the owner fails to set and enforce the
rules. Dog obedience training serves to make you the pack leader
and teaches your dog to follow your instructions. Once this
relationship is established, you and your dog will both enjoy a
fruitful partnership.
It's important to start basic obedience training when your dog
is still a puppy. If you don't train your puppy, you will have a
much harder time once all the bad habits have set in. Basic dog
obedience is the responsibility of the owner and should probably
start with potty training as the first objective. Once that
objective is accomplished, you'll be well on your way to having
a happy obedient dog.
Does your dog have a problem with excessive barking, biting and
whining? Is your dog overly aggressive? While it's always best
to start training them as a puppy, the good news is it's never
too late to train your dog. If your dog is uncontrollable, then
this is going to continue to get even worse. Obedience training
can fix your dog's behavior problems and teach your dog to
substitute acceptable behaviors for unacceptable behaviors. Dogs
are extremely intelligent and they can learn very quickly.
Once you understand how your dog learns, you can train him to
follow basic obedience commands. The primary reason some
training sessions fail is because the owner expects his dog to
think like a human. These owners try screaming at their dog and
doing all kinds of weird behaviors just hoping the dog will
eventually listen. Obedience training will allow you to
communicate to your dog exactly what your want them to do.
Many dog owners today get so frustrated that they end up hiring
a dog trainer. But that's only partially effective. There are
some things your dog just can't learn from a trainer. That's
because most obedience training actually takes place at home in
your day to day dealings with your pet. However, with the proper
tools, anyone can have a happy well-behaved pet.
