Basic Dog Training

Most dogs live with people who want them to behave in ways that make them pleasant to be around, keep them safe, and provides for the safety of other humans and pets.

Communicating in humane way which dog understands is hardest part of training. However, the underlying principle of all communication is simple: reward desired behavior while ignoring or correcting undesired behavior.

The following six behaviors usually are used in basic?a href="http://professionaldogtraining.us/dog-obedience-courses">dog obedience courses:

• Sit
• Down
• Stay
• Recall ("come", "here" or "in")
• Close (or loose-leash walking)
• Heel
• Up (standing up without jumping)

Consistency is a key. Give commands with the same actions each and every time. This is the only way that your dog will learn. So, you need to take note of the action that you are making when you are telling it to 'sit', 'roll over', etc.

Corrections are a form of punishment. It can be physical i.e. leash correction or mental i.e. withdrawing a reward. The dog's personality, the behavior and the importance of the correct behavior should all be taken into account in using corrections with your dog.
