Looking After Your Dog, Part Twelve - Training
Basics
3
Dogs have inherent wild characteristics,
often being aggressive and barking
unnecessarily. Some dog owners are frustrated
with the situation and frequently smack their dog
or banish it to the backyard. However, treating
pets in such a way conjures an image of terror in
their minds, and they start fearing their owner.
All this can be avoided in the first place
through proper dog training.
4
Dog training refers to training your dog to be
obedient, adhering to all your commands in a
jovial manner. A dog is a mans faithful
companion that saying can only be true with
proper dog training.
5
Dog training can be accomplished at your
residence, in dog training classes, or with the
aid of a private trainer. Its a slow and steady
process and expecting instant results is akin to
being unrealistic. Dog training requires a
collar, leash, an awful lot of patience, and a
tender attitude towards your dog. Training needs
to be a fun-filled, exhilarating experience for
your dog. You should mingle training exercises
with intermittent treats and praises when your
dog behaves in the desired way. This way you
could easily train your dog for the common
commands, such as sit, stay and come.
6
A crucial aspect of dog training is to instill
good eating habits. Fix up a few time slots in
the day when you would feed your dog. This way it
wont have to beg at t he dining table or meander
around for leftovers. Your dog should be trained
not to pull the leash while on a casual
stroll. A simple yank of the leash
followed by a proper voice command is enough
to accomplish the same. The dog should also be
trained to stand still, since this allows an
easy examination by a veterinarian and a
trouble-free grooming session with a dog groomer.
7
You might face a few problems while
training your dog. The ease of dog
training depends largely on the nature of the
dog, which varies from one of docility to one of
obstinacy. While some dogs respond to tenderness
and coaxing, others may not even heed to a
firm command. Some are quick learners while
others grasp things quite slowly. If you are
faced with a hapless situation training your dog,
you may consult a professional dog trainer.
However, it is recommended that you carry out a
preliminary research prior to choosing a
particular trainer for your dog.
