Factors To Consider In Dog Training

Dog training should be known to the existing dog owners or new dog owners or a person who is going to become a dog owner. People who have dogs with behavior problems should also know about the importance of dog training. It is important to know your dog and its behavior properly before you start any type of training.

The first and foremost that you should know is about the breed of the dog and its origin. Over the years breeding of the dogs might have modified some of the traits in a particular breed and you can't expect some traits in them. You should remember that dogs are sociable animals. It is necessary that you interact with them often to make them energetic and happy. It is necessary that you encourage your dog during training for the actions done on the line of your expectations. Apart from that you can also be strict or harsh for not doing certain actions. Such behavior of yourself is considered as reward or punishment and this helps very much in dog training. Avoid smacking your pet thinking that you are punishing them.

Do not start your training for that day anytime you think is good. Have a plan and stick to your schedule at a regular time daily so that the dog would also expect that dog training during that particular time of the day. If you follow that schedule properly the dog will also expect that dog training and will be ready for that training psychologically. With such regular training you will get good results as you expected.

It is necessary that you understand that the dog's memory is short lived. It will forget what you told a few hours ago. But they have good associated memory. They can associate what you instruct them with some other things. This helps them very much in dog training. For example you can say 'ball' and show the place where the ball is. When you say 'ball' the next time the dog might go to that place and fetch you the ball for playing. In dog training it is necessary that you speak the doggy language. It is necessary that you use some words that are not common or use a phrase to do some task in dog training. If you use common words that we use often, the dogs will get confused. Apart from the words used your tone should also be the same when you use those commands.

It is necessary that you teach them what is right or wrong right from the early ages. Dog training should be done all by yourself as it creates a bond between you and your dog. Although you can leave dog training to the dog trainers it is better you do it yourself. You can attend some dog training programs or use dog training guides to learn how to go about the dog training. It is worth to invest in a good dog training guide as you will see the result for the rest of the dog's life.
