If your dog loves running around doing what he pleases, chewing up your
possessions and barking incessantly, it’s time to consider dog obedience
training. A good dog school will change your dog from one that will bark all
night to a dog that will only speak on command; from a dog who will chew on
things as he pleases, to one who will sit quietly in his kennel or by your feet
and from a dog that will run away when you call him to one that will be at your
side in an instant.
The first thing that your dog will need to be taught is his name. This is important when you are calling him “here” or to “come”. If you require your dog to only respond to your voice, he can’t be exposed to other people giving him commands; it will only confuse him. Similarly, if you allow him to play too much and shower him with too many toys, when he is away from these things, he will growl and bark at you.
You must be completely sure that when you are out and about around other people, especially children, that your dog will not attack or bite them. Proper training will help to stop you worrying and restore confidence in your dog. While you are training your beloved pup, always remember to encourage and congratulate him when he comes when he’s called or performs a command correctly. After all, the most important person in his world is you and it will make him happy and more eager to please you in the future. The most basic instructions that you should aim to teach your dog are sit, stay, fetch and come.
Make sure you start your training as early as possible. When he is still a puppy is perfect; the amount of information he will retain and learn will be far higher than an older dog that is already set in his ways.
If you are looking at getting a puppy, make sure before you acquire him, you read and study all the information on training that you can, so you are as prepared as you can be for the arrival of your new pup.
Make sure that the dog obedience training program that you choose is perfectly suited to your breed of dog. Each breed is different and each training program should reflect the special traits of each variety of dogs.
Lastly, always make sure your dog is ready and has enough energy for his training. For instance, do not try to train him after you’ve just been playing or have gone for a walk. Training your pup requires him to focus and be very aware of what are you saying and commanding him to do so always make sure he is well fed and well rested before commencing.
