subject: Best Dog Obedience Training Book [print this page] Dogs understand things very differently from us humans. This means that frequently, when you are training (or even when you think you are NOT training) your dog, you are actually making their attitude and the related problems even worse!
I rescued two German Shepherds and I did not know anything about dog obedience. One of my dogs was quite aggressive with other dogs, and crazy about chasing cats and squirrels. It is imperative to get a good book that will give a true insight into what the dog is thinking, why they behave the way they do, and tips on what to do to correct the problem.
After reading the Author's book, my dogs are now following my commands and I am able to control them. If you have a disobedient dog that causes you stress or embarrassment - then you've come to the absolute best place for finding out how to communicate with and train your dog. With these techniques, your dog will become so well behaved, that it will make other people envious. The main points to be aware of are:
Giving your dog both your patience and a consistent discipline are the main elements for anyone trying to train their pet. Dogs are all different characters and have different learning abilities, so some of them learn much slower than others.
It is great to be positive and encouraging which is a far better approach then being stern with your pet. The most effective tool is rewarding your dog when he does well. Only use a loud noise or a gruff voice if a dog is particularly aggressive, but even then use this tool rarely or it may make your pet worse.
Make all training sessions fun and, once again to maintain discipline, try to make a set time and set length for the training session keep them short to 20 or 30 minutes and only undertake training when your pet is calm, relaxed and receptive.
A dog normally acquires behaviour patterns, so if this is bad behaviour, they should not be ignored, even when you are dealing with a young puppy. Let your dog know where the line is drawn and stick to those rules.
Most breeds (or mixed pedigrees) have character traits which should be used to your advantage when training. Always do what is best for your dog and for you because there are many ways to train a dog successfully.
