Important Puppy Dog Training Guidelines

By Lori W Wood

Whether you prefer to train your dog yourself or enlist the aid of a professional, you want to make sure that the energy and patience that is required is there. You also want your dog to be trained with love so that your dog achieves the greatest outcomes.

When you appoint a pro trainer you should make sure that the trainer you decide on has philosophies that you agree with and whose training methods make sense to you. Some dog trainers are imposing and the insist respect and compliance, while others may be more loving and permissive with a bigger focus upon the emotional connection between trainer and dog. Both approaches can be successful so you need to choose which one feels right to you.

Several items to keep in mind when training your dog:

1. Pick up your pet's favorite food. The treat is to reward her when she does what you say in the right way.

2. How can she know what to do? By voice and hand commands.

3. Choose one form of training daily.

Even though there are a variety of unique training approaches and you can select the one that you feel will work for you, there are one or two consistent principles when it comes to dog training. Consistency, patience and persistence and the firm need for the human to be in the "alpha dog" role are consistent in each good program.

So as to circumvent boredom, it is recommended that you have a habit for either walks and exercise or a play session. This can help your dog avoid the boredom that can lead to destructive behavior.

Your timetable is critical when it comes to training programs for your dog. Some meet just one time per week, while others may even convene on a daily basis. Some plans at kennels expect that you leave your dog at the facility all through the training phase. As a loving dog owner, you will probably be happiest and have the most success if you and the relationship with your own dog is a important component of the program.

You'll find "boot-camp" type training plans where your dog remains at a special kennel for a few weeks through the most thorough training. At the end, the owner comes in and participates in order to make sure that they can deal with the dog as easily as the trainer.

Most good dog training programs are well worth the money you pay. Your dog will be disciplined, well mannered and willing to please you. This makes owning your pet a good experience devoid of disorder. A dutiful dog is much happier and more content because they know what is expected of them and where they stand in the pack order.

During training you will need to repeat things over and over again, however, after your dog is trained he will hardly ever require further instructions. He will be well behaved and obedient and stress-free to take in public, which is what any responsible pet owner really wants.
