Training Your Dog In A Proper Way Is Necessary

Date Added : August 8, 2010 | Views : 551

A dog, as they say, is a man’s best friend. And so like most humans, a dog also needs training to be obedient and well behaved. A proper training helps the dog to understand what the owner has to say and it discovers its own way to respond back. Most dog owners would agree to this. Therefore, it becomes necessary to train your dog in a way that is helpful to both.



Most dog owners want their dogs to behave in ways that are not embarrassing for the owners. All dogs need to be taught how to be obedient. Some of the common obedience training terms include ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘down’, ‘come’ and ‘heel’. Loose leash walking also requires training for the dog.



The benefits of training increase when a dog is trained professionally. Professional dog training involves teaching the dog’s owner to train his/her dog. It requires that the owner and the dog attend the classes together. This helps in creating an understanding between them and also learning to work under the guidance of a trainer.



Training a dog in such a way helps the dog to socialize with other people and their pets. Professional dog training takes care of the minute details of dog training that might be ignored if the dog is being trained at home.



Communication is one of the most important aspects of dog training. The trainer communicates to the dog what kind of behaviours are appropriate or correct in certain situations and what behaviour is undesired in certain situations. The trainer should also be able to understand the communication from the dog. It is important to understand a dog’s emotional state in order to train it in an effective way.



To use rewards is a powerful technique in successful professional dog training. Such training helps to develop good behaviour in dogs. Treating them to speciality foods, giving a chance to play with some toy, giving extra attention, interacting with other dogs can be rewards of good behaviour.



Many of the professional trainers teach the dog owner tricks that they can teach their dogs. Teaching tricks to the dog results in better understanding between the dog and the owner. It also provides entertainment to the dog and saves it from boredom by engaging the dog’s mind.



It should be kept in mind that, just like different humans learn things at their own pace; similarly different dogs will also learn at their own pace. Each dog has its own way of learning. Using physical force and punishment to teach them might end up resulting in submissive behaviour by the dog. Professional dog trainers, however, teach the owners the appropriate physical force that can be used to teach them.



Thus, we have seen the importance of proper training of a dog. No dog comes fully trained into this world. It has to be taught how to inculcate correct mannerisms and behaviour. Giving a proper professional dog training not only has a positive effect on the dog but also teaches the owner to adopt the right way of training a dog.
