Dog Obedience Training - How to go about starting your dogs training
Obedience training of a dog takes a primary role in the future of your dog and your relationship with your dog. It is what molds a character and personality of your dog ,and it depends on how you train your dog.
There are many advantages as to how dog obedience training can lead to a healthy relationship with you and your dog. For one thing dogs form a bond of trust and loyalty in your. They also will not indulge in any improper behavior like unwanted barking, chewing, etc. A clear communication can be formed with your furry friend through this training.
Note: Please note that puppies are relatively easier to train than mature dogs as they don't know anything other than what we tell them. Whereas older dogs already would have already formed a set of rules on their own based on where they lived previously and so it would be a little more time consuming to instill what you want them to do in their mind.
Dog obedience training benefits not only the dog but also you, its owner. By doing the training with your dog it not only make your dog happy and confident but also gives you a sense of accomplishment to see your dog happy. A trained dog will be well behaved in front of your family and friends with a little supervision.
A well trained dog is liked by all. On the other hand if you did not give your dog any obedience training , then it will most lead to a rift formed from the dog and your family. The dog will tend to be alone and be antisocial. Further more it your dog would become unsafe for you and also others (neighbors, other animals etc.) Also a untrained dog is the major reason as to which many dogs tend to be left at animal shelters.
So now let us discuss as to how do we start our dog obedience training:
1. Start with something simple at first like "sit" and as you start feeling more confident start training in more complex commands.
2. Allot a specific time of a day to train your dog and never deviate from the time set.
3. Your sessions have to be short, but also make it such that you make it fun for the dog by interacting with the dog.
4. Repeat the commands as often as you can , so that your dog becomes used to it.
5. Never correct your dog if the dog does not follow the commands correctly for which he has been not properly taught. Everything is new to the dog, so you cant expect the dog to know exactly what you want at the first time. Teach the dog patiently and give some time till they are used to it.
6. Never use punishment as part of your dogs obedience training to correct the dog. Punishing the dog usually confuses them and makes them feel insecure and afraid of you. It usually has a negative effect than what you expect and make the dog antisocial.
7. Praise and Presents or treats works wonders on your dogs training. Be sure to praise your dog if he does what you asked from him. Also correct him appropriately if he did some mistake.
8. Make sure that you are the person who does the training with your dog and not some other family member. You need to show the dog that you are his master so that a bond of trust and loyalty can be formed.
9. Dogs tend to usually please the ones they consider to be their master. So all you have to do is spend as much time as you can with your dog till it accepts you as his master.
10. All dogs are motivated by something, be it treats, a walk, fetching, etc. Find out what motivates your dog and use it as a tool to train your dog .
