Dog Training Its Good For Everyone

Having a well-behaved dog is one of the best things in the world. Training your dog to do impressive tricks is fun and easily impresses everyone. Dog training for basic behavior on the other hand is a trick in itself. It takes time to train your dog to walk without a leash, not to bark, and the cardinal sin going to the bathroom on your rug. There truly is nothing worse than coming home after a log day at work and seeing a big shiny dog log right in the middle of the living room. Then your dog just gives you an unassuming look that seems to say, well someone should clean that up.
No matter where you live in the world, dog training is key. If you can do it when your dog is just a puppy then all the better. It is much easier to create good behavior then fix bad behavior. Puppy dog training classes can be found almost anywhere, and are highly recommended when you get your new furry friend.
Dog training for more adult dogs can get much trickier. Having a professional teach you and your dog can really help everyone. If you dont really know what you are doing then there is a good chance you might be reinforcing the wrong types of behavior in your dog.
The proper training requires positive and negative reinforcement for your dog. By giving positive reinforcement for good behavior and negative reinforcement for bad behavior then your dog will become conditioned to make good decisions. This training is not as easy as it sounds, in fact if you are not consistent then it can become easy for the dog to become confused and all training becomes lost.
The temperament of your dog also plays a factor on how they should be trained. Like people, all dogs are different so different positive and negative reinforcements can be used for more effective training.
For example I have a dog that loves attention form anyone and everyone, but especially me. So when she does something wrong one of the better way to reinforce that she did something wrong is to completely ignore her, pretending she isnt even there. (I tried this with my girlfriend, and the results were quite bad.) What my dog craves the most is attention, so for positive reinforcement I will give her attention and let her jump on me and what not. If she does something wrong I turn my back to her and ignore her. So far it is working quite well for my dog, but other dogs crave other things. That is why having a professional come in and teach you the best ways to deal with your furry friend.
The bottom line is, a well behaved dog will make for a happy home. When your dog listens and obeys everything you say, you are proud of your pup. Things just run more smoothly in the house when your dogs are well behaved, so look into dog training right now and get your pup on the right track.
