Useful Facts For Those Wishing To Become A Dog Trainer

There are a number of facts about the origins,
ancestry and character of dogs that can be very
useful to those who are training dogs. As with
all other species, dogs have developed their
behavior and character through centuries of
adaptation to an ever changing world. However,
there are some innate characteristics that will
forever be a part of the dog regardless of what
adaptations it has taken up.

The first fact to always remember is dogs are
animals and at one point they were wild animals.
As such they cannot be expected to think or know
good and bad. Their lives are governed by
instincts and urges. Caring for dogs and also
training them are what helps these wonderful
creatures ignore some of their instincts and
urges. As long as a dog is well fed and cared
for, it will behave itself and stay out of
trouble. A hungry dog will very easily attack
another animal or even a human being because its
need for food has not been met. To effectively
train a dog requires that it is first well taken
care off so as to achieve success.

Another important fact is that dogs are pack
animals. Their social structure is based on
having a group where each member has a defined
position. Each pack has an alpha male as its
pack leader and every dog aspires to be the
alpha male of the pack. The pack leader provides
leadership, protection and a lot more. Your dog
sees you as its pack leader and expects you to
play that role fully. This is why anytime your
dog feels threatened it will always run behind
you as it expects you to fend of the attacker.

Dogs are creatures of habit and will learn best
through routine and repetition. This is why dog
training and dog care need to follow certain
processes so as to help the dog learn faster and
long term. Feeding times, play times, training
times and the times for all other activities
must be adhered. Constantly changing activity
times will confuse the dog and result in slower
and more difficult training for both you and
your dog.

Hopefully these facts will help you have a
better understanding of your dogs and thus make
it easier for you to take them through their
training. Successful dog training requires not
only understanding the techniques to be applied
but also the subject to be trained.
