Dog Obedience Training
Getting frustrated that your dog jumps up on people when you are
visiting friends? Can't understand why your dog runs away from
you at the park while everyone else's happily comes back? The
simple answer is have you tried dog obedience training? It is
simple, effective and very fun to do if you have the right
attitude and patience.
The basics of dog obedience training and teaching your dog to
sit, stay and come. These basic training commands will be
extremely beneficial to you later on in your dog's life. When
you take your dog out you don't want him to be running muck in
the street, you want to show him off for the perfect dog that he
is! Dog obedience training can be achieved in a matter of weeks
with the right attention, dedication and patience.
There are a lot of obedience classes available. So if you can't
teach your dog by yourself there is plenty support at the class,
there are also other dogs there. Not only are you training your
dog you are socialising him to which of course is the next step
after sit, stay and come. Dogs are kind of like children to an
extent, except with a lot of fur, they need to be taught right
and wrong.
I always find that treats are a great method of dog obedience
training; you award them with a special treat when they have
done something you have asked them to. If they don't respond
they don't get a treat. There is no point shouting at your dog
as he will only become scared of you and you don't want that,
you want to form a happy relationship with him. Dog's are a
man's best friend!
When teaching your dog obedience try and teach him away from
distractions like his toys, take him to an empty field or park
where there aren't any people, only you and him. Tell him firmly
but nicely that you want him to sit, then take your hand and
place it on his back and gently guide his bottom down, when it
is down say sit and tell him he's a good boy then award him with
a treat. Repeating this over and over again will make him
realise that when you say sit you mean for him to sit and he
gets rewarded, soon enough he will know to sit when you tell him
to and the treats are no longer necessary.
Getting him to stay is another matter, you'll probably need
another person for that. Get him to sit (once he has learned
how) and get a friend to hold him. Walk away from him telling
him to stay, using your hand hold it up firmly (doing this will
make him realise that when you hold your hand up in the future
you want him to stay as well, not just when you tell him to)
then give it a few seconds and let your friend release him, when
he comes to you make him sit and tell him how clever he is!
Don't forget to reward him. While using this technique you are
also teaching your dog how to come to you as well, so don't
forget to say "ome" to him, not just his name.
When dogs are born they are like soft clay, they need to be
moulded and shaped. You can teach your dog from any age and the
younger you start the easier it is. Like they say: you can't
teach an old dog new tricks!!!
