Dogs like to live in a group and they have social instincts that can only be expressed by living within a group. For this reason it is known as a pack animal and within the pack there is one leader. When a puppy or dog becomes a member of your family it is joining your pack and it sees you or the person that leads the family as the pack leader. It looks to the leader to guide it and teach the rules of the pack. It also looks for guidance in dealing with situations outside the pack. It will accept these rules and will accept being disciplined if it breaks these rules. In this context, obedience training is the way that the people teach dogs how to behave in the confines of the family and in the wider human community. Because a dog has the instinct to need rules it is keen to learn what you have to teach.

So what do you want to teach it ? Well, many people don't commit to obedience training and teach their dogs a few things but don't really follow through with the training or then vacillate on enforcing the rules. However you need to establish a few rules. Here are the essential skills you need to teach your dog in order to control it and for your pet to live comfortably in a human world.

It must be able to socialize with humans, dogs and other animals (principally your family and other pets like cats) in it's home and outside of the home.

It must like being touched by people and generally trust humans.

It should be able to control any aggression.

It should be accepting of restraint. An example being that it can walk on a lead calmly without pulling or getting excited by everything that comes into it's view.

It must respond to your calls, including coming when you call it.

It should go to the toilet in a specific place set by the pack leader.

It should be able to be alone for a length of time every now and then.
