3 Reasons Why Dog Training Is Necessary
1. An Untrained Dog Is A Big Headache
You invite your boss and his wife to your house for a dinner, then your dog suddenly jumps into the dining table, pulling the cloth and spilling the spaghetti into your boss' white polo shirt. You invite your guests to the living room for a chocolate dessert and to show your new plasma tv, then your dog suddenly came to pee and defecate by the tv rack. Another very unlikely scene right? These kind of behaviors shown by an untrained dog can be such an embarassment that will give you a big headache.
2. An Untrained Dog Is Not Safe To Be Around With
Would you let your kids play with your dog who barks excessively and tries to bite sometimes? An untrained dog may be very aggressive, just barking and jumping on whoever. It's scary to picture them hurting a person or another pet. You will also get the blame since you are the owner, and it's your responsibility to restrain and control your dog. A well-trained and well behaved dog is more pleasant to be around with.
3. An Untrained Dog Can Also Endanger Himself
If your dog doesn't know what things he should not mess with and where are the places he is restrained to go, chances are very high that he will accidentally endanger himself. He might just drink on the open paint can in the garage or take advantage of an open fence that leads to the dangerous streets where there are speeding cars that just might hit him. Training your dog is also caring for his safety.
Quick Tips in Dog Training
Firm and Friendly
When you give commands such as come, you want
to use a happy and friendly voice. While on
the other hand, you'll want a lower firmer
voice for sit, down, and stay commands.
Praise & Reward
Always praise your dog or offer him when he
learned new commands
Be Patient
Patience is the key when you are training
with your dog. Focus on a single command a
session and end it on a positive note. Dog's
are incredibly smart and will pick up all
your commands. After each session, spend some
time playing. He will associate the time with
you as positive and anticipate his training
again.
Use the correct dog training equipments
If you have a well-behaved dog, a lead and
a buckle will do on your obedience training.
However, if your dog is uncontrollable with
undesirable and distracting behaviors, you
should use a dog shock collar. You don't have
to worry about the size as most electronic
dog shock collar systems now clearly indicate what
size of dog the training collar is intended
for.
No Distractions
Try to pick a quiet area when training your
dog to do tricks or commands. A secluded back
yard works best if you want to train your
dog for basic obedience commands only.
Reprimand
Do not hit your dog! Any time your dog has
undesirable behavior, be firm and friendly.
Remember, dogs are man's best friend.
Be Positive
It is necessary to use positive reinforcement
when training your dog by offering some dog
treats and a lot of praise if he performs
correctly and learn new commands.
Play with your dog
Dogs which are trained are a pleasure to take
for a walk and a pleasure to own
