Diverse Dog Training Methods

Training a dog requires specific techniques,
according to their specific breeds. Different
dog breeds have different temperaments and
personalities. Whilst basic commands may be
common for training dogs, the response of a dog
will vary from breed to breed, and dog to dog.

The most common dog training methods are
positive training (or clicker training).
Corrective training methods exist, but are not
recommended.

Here are the different dog training techniques
so you would know what to apply to your dog
according to its breeds:

Dog Whispering: The basis of dog whispering is
your bond with your dog. You need to be able to
read your dog's body language then use your own
body language to train it. To a degree, it
involves correction that are applicable to the
dog. An example of 'appropriate correction'
could be mimicking what a mother dog would do if
the puppy is being aggressive. Care should be
exercised and lots of research into the behavior
of dogs is required. Dog Whispering can be an
opportunity to tighten your bond between you and
your dog.

Clicker Training: This is a positive training
technique where a clicker indicates to a dog
that it has done the right thing. This method is
quite popular because it is gentle to the dog and
the owner, and uses the dogs natural behaviours.
The Clicker Training method can be used from
basic commands to house training to behavioral
problems such as excessive barking, dog nipping
and growling.

Reward Training: This is also a positive
reinforcement technique which dogs really love.
This is simply giving treats like their favorite
toy, chewy toy or favorite food. Reward training
actually forms part of the Clicker Training
method. Your dog will be encouraged to do more
good and to behave well when you give the
reward. To make the treats more enjoyable
include praising your dog with a high pitched
encouraging voice.

Corrective Dog Training: The training requires
physical corrections to the dog like telling
your dog to sit, give a gentle jerk on the
collar or choke chain while pushing down it's
rump. Once he obey sitting then reward him with
praise like saying "Good Dog!". This type of
training is not recommended as it is not al that
successful and can cause behavioural problems
with the dog. If you are asked to use this type
of training, find another trainer.

To help you understand how your dog thinks to
make training easier, you might want to consult
a professional dog trainer. Remember to enjoy
your moments with your dog while employing the
appropriate dog training techniques.
