Basic Dog Obedience Training Steps

BASIC DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING STEPS
If you are a dog owner or in the process of
considering becoming one then to fully enjoy the
experience of owning and caring for your dog I
would strongly recommend that you learn the very
basic training commands that your dog must learn
to obey. There are a few simple reasons for why
you need to teach your dog simple and clear
commands.

It will make the whole experience one of pleasure
for you and your family by not allowing your dog
to dictate the terms. It will more importantly
keep your dog safe from being knocked down on a
busy road. It will also prevent any instances of
potential mauling and you will never have a
terrified postman! Here is a list of the basic
commands Sit Stay Stop Stand No (To
discourage wrong behaviour) Fetch Heel (Used
when walking your dog) Leave It (To avoid
conflict with other dogs)

These are hopefully self explanatory for the most
part but there is a training method that goes
along with them. First of all it is to only use
these words when you are training your dog. Dont
use combinations and add other words on. Lets
use an example of teaching your dog to sit. In a
firm and commanding voice say the word Sit.
Then firmly press down on the dogs haunches and
push back on the chest at the same time, until
the dog is in the same position.

When this happens give the dog a small reward and
praise it. Continue this until it instantly obeys
this one word command. Here is what not to do and
many make this mistake. They will say things like
Sit boy or Sit Girl or Sit Down Now or
Come on, Sit. Dont ever do that as it just
causes confusion with so many words/sounds that
the dog cant absorb and remember when they are
just learning the new commands. It is the same
process then for all the commands. Master one of
them and then move on to the next. Never try to
do them all at the one time as this just confuses
the dog and interrupts their training.

You can of course join a dog club where this is
demonstrated but it really is just as easy to do
at home. Remember, keep to the single word
command followed by a small reward and praise,
thats all there is to it on a consistent
basis. Once these basic commands have been
learned and regularly responded to and be
relentless about that then it is a great idea
to move to the more advanced training. This is
called agility training where you can train your
dog to do tricks, or go through obstacles. This
is great for stimulating their minds and also a
fun thing to do. Read More...

I always recommend listening to the experts when
you wish to learn something and if you have ever
watched episodes of the The Dog Whisperer you
will see he uses consistent and basic commands at
all times. There are many great instructional
books and DVDs available online and its a great
idea to get yourself a small library of those to
learn the basics and then build up to the
more advanced training techniques. However, do
take the steps to learn the steps in basic dog
obedience training first and then the whole
process will be a fun experience for you both.
