Dog Training - How To Train Your Dog For A Better
Life
3
Training your dog is a long and rewarding
process. By teaching your dog to obey you, you're
increasing the quality of life for both dog and
master. As with every healthy relationship, both
parties need to develop an understanding of who
is the boss, what their expectations are, and so
on.

Imagine being able to take your dog out for a
walk without being jerked around on a leash.
Telling your dog to 'stay' and knowing that you
won't have to keep your leash handy. Imagine
letting your dog play with the kids and knowing
that no one will need a band aid or disinfectant
later.

When it comes to dog training, psychology
is simple. Good behavior needs to be
rewarded, and bad behavior needs to be corrected.
By rewarding good behavior, your dog will learn
to enjoy obeying you, and to associate good
feelings with good behavior. Similarly, your dog
will learn to avoid bad behavior, and all the
headaches that could cause you, and, indirectly,
your dog.

That's all there is to it. Rewards are pretty
easy -either by heaping praise on the dog, giving
a thorough petting, Giving a treat, or
what-have-you. Care should be taken not to overdo
it. Rewards are rewards, not bribes, and if you
resort to using rewards as bribes, your dog may
learn to never do your bidding, unless you have
tasty treats or a tennis ball on hand.

If you find that you don't like the idea of
over-feeding your dog, you can use a technique
called 'clicker training'. You'll need a child's
toy that produces a loud clicking sound. The idea
behind clicker training is that you should feed
your dog some treats, and every time he gets a
treat, give a loud 'click'. Your dog should
eventually start associating the sound of the
click with getting a treat, and from
there, associate a click with good feelings.
