Crucial Dog Training Tips And Techniques

Most dogs are friendly and loving creatures that
often become members of the family. As a member
of the family, however, dogs needs to coexist
with the members of the household. To raise a
dog to become a well respected canine citizen
that is well mannered and trustworthy, it is
crucial to practice proper dog training
techniques.

There are many reasons why training a dog is
beneficial to the dog itself as well as his
family. The owner-dog relationship is very
important in building a good level of trust and
cooperation. A properly raised dog is friendly,
well respected, and trusted by other members in
the community. They do not pose a threat to
children, they can be controlled by following
simple commands and rules, and can be trusted in
the presence of other people as well as animals.

It is crucial that dogs are pleasant and
behaved, and do not practice unnecessary
behaviors. Depending on the owner and the
objective of the dog training, there are a few
different categories of canine obedience. All
those who own a dog may require a different
method of teaching for how they want their dog
to behave.

Basic obedience training is the common
discipline for all dogs. With these common
principles the dog is taught general simple
commands such as sit, stay, speak, heel, and
come. They can also be taught to fetch and
retrieve things. This is the most basic and
fundamental type of dog obedience and should be
highly focused on for every dog.

Not so basic teaching, where a dog is taught to
utilize his canine senses, skills, and
abilities, are canine police training or search
and rescue. With these instructional methods
dogs are primed to detect bombs, drugs, track
down criminals, and find missing children or
people with their scent. There is also physical
assistance dog education, where a dog can be
trained to assist physically challenged or
disabled people, such as the blind. Dogs are
extremely smart and can perform extraordinary
tasks if trained properly.

Some methods, instead of teaching a dog to do
things, teach a dog not to do things. Behavior
habits such as excessive barking, growling,
jumping on people, food aggression, digging,
urinating in the house, and chewing items not
specifically intended for the dog need to be
eliminated as early as possible. If these bad
habits are not forbidden while the dog is young,
they will only worsen as the dog gets older, and
make it harder for it to be trained against
those habits.

Whatever type of teaching will be done, every
dog trainer should know a few general rules.
Reward the dog, never punish or hit a dog, be
consistent, teach them tricks and commands one
at a time, test their obedience in different
scenarios, make sure each training session is
short and fun, and most importantly, be patient.
Knowing these basic policies will provide more
effective sessions that will be beneficial for
the dog as well as the owner.

Dog training is crucial because a dog needs to
be a well respected and well mannered canine
citizen who can function properly among other
people and animals. Because dogs are such smart
creatures, no time spent will be wasted if
practicing appropriate disciplining techniques.
