subject: Emphasize On Dog Training Obedience To Groom Your Pet Dog [print this page] For many people, caring for their pet dog at home may be all about healthy feeding, exercising him and looking after his personal hygiene and grooming. However, above all, the most essential part is training your dog to show obedience toward you and others. You need to train your pet dog to appear calm and obedient in your presence always, as well as in the company of other people.
Through obedience training, you can inculcate positive behavioral habits in your pet dog. You need to train your pet dog to adapt to indoor and outdoor situations. Allow him to integrate in your family life and familiarize him with other members in your family. Likewise, in obedience training, teach your dog when and when not to woof. Teach him to sit, stand, and have him obey your orders.
Studies note that due to improper obedience training, many dog attacks are common in almost every country. Any dog that does not receive proper training on obeying the commands of his master becomes a threat and nuisance to society, soon ending up as a social outcast. An untrained dog is dangerous when left alone in the company of children and other dogs.
Let your pet dog know that you are his leader. Love him and shower him with affection. However, do not forget that you are his master and that he has to obey your commands at all times. Make your dog fully aware of your status so that even when you are away from him for a couple of days, he behaves well and in exactly the same way as he does in your presence.
Dogs always like to stay within clearly defined boundaries. You need to appear dominant before your pet dog and make him realize his place and position in the house. This does not mean you shout at him and mistreat him during your dog training. It means that whenever you spot your dog doing anything that would harm you or your neighbors and people around, you order him to stop immediately and he obeys your orders.
