Factors That Could Affect Dog Training

Dog training is the most important thing that you
should consider if you have a pup or plans to
have one. To get you started, here are some
information to help you understand about canine
behavior.

• According to research, dogs hail from
wolves. Because of domestication, it eliminated
some of their aggressive traits but there are
some that still remains. Since they are pack
animals, they are used to routines and they are
sociable, which makes it easy for trainers to
teach them.

They do not have a hard time interacting with
other canines and humans for them are just like
them but with different look. This is why they
thrive to be noticed by humans and if they are
rejected, they will feel bad or get agitated.
This kind behavior can be useful during training.
You can either reward or punish them. The reward
is by interacting with them through patting or by
talking to them you can also give them food as a
treat. On the other hand, you can punish them by
ignoring them. This can be done by turning your
back on them or by talking to them in a stern
manner. This is a better method than hitting or
spanking them.

Training them by following a routine makes it
easy for them to do things your way. Through
routine, they get to be relaxed and be
comfortable for they already know what to expect.

• Make yourself known to them from the
beginning that you are the alpha male. Assert
your role as the boss through body and vocal
language. If they do not consider you as the
alpha male, they will not follow any of your
instructions.

• The dog's memory is short just like with a
goldfish. If you don't know this fact, you will
be irritated if the next day your pup does not
remember anything that you have taught them the
day before. But the good thing about them is
their good associate memory. This means that they
know how to associate certain things with what
you have told them.

• Humans and animals, specifically the
canines, do not speak the same language. When it
comes to training, you have to carefully choose
the words that you will use on them. Do away with
common words for this will confuse them. Also, it
is essential that you are consistent with the
command and words that you use.

• Puppies are like babies, they do not know
how they are supposed to act or behave in this
world. They need to be guided so that they will
learn what is right from wrong. They are happy
creatures and full of energy. They love to
explore but since they don't have good eyes or
sensitive hands, they use their nose to smell and
mouth to chew. These qualities need a lot of
patience and understanding that they are
different from you.
