Dog Training - Find Out How You Can Do It Yourself

They say a dog's temperament and behaviour is a reflection of their owner

. If you have a dog that is uncontrollable, badly behaved with an angry temper then, this certainly does not reflect well on you. If your dog is showing any of these behavioural problems you should get it properly trained as this will make life so much easier for you and your dog.

A properly trained dog offers so many benefits to its owner. For example, a dog trained in the basic skills will be far more controllable and easier to live with. A well trained dog will provide you with less stress because it will obey your commands. A trained dog will not put you in embarrassing situations for example, barking or fighting with other dogs and chasing after cars.

If you decide to train your dog you must read as much information as possible to bring yourself up to date with the latest and most effective methods. As a parent to a child you must develop a lot of patience and understanding towards your dog to ensure it develops as much as possible.

To find information on dog training I would suggest you visit your local library as this should have a good selection of books on the subject. If you do not have accesses to a library then try on-line where there is a wealth of information available. You can either buy a book from Amazon or from one of the many dog training websites. You can pick up plenty of good information absolutely free from dog training websites although, you may have to spend some time piecing the information together.

Although, many of the dog training sites will have a different take on the best methods and techniques to train your dog you will find there is one thing they will all agree on. The common advice given is your dog must be in a relaxed and happy state of mind. In this way the dog will be much more receptive to your commands and obey them more readily. Ensuring your dog gets into this state will depend a lot on you therefore, it is important that you are patient and that you do not lose your temper when your dog does not obey your commands. This will take time however, if you are supportive your dogs progress will be much faster.

The place where you train your dog is very important. When starting out pick a location where there are not many dogs or distractions. This will give both of you time to get use to the new training setup. For example, find a quiet spot in your local park to train your dog. As most dogs are territorial, it is wise to bring a long a lead to prevent your untrained dog from running off and attacking other dogs.
