The reasons why puppies chew on your lovely bathroom slippers a time is because they are teething. Teething in babies produces pretty much the same desire to chew in dogs. Teething dogs usually chew on things to help them with the itching sensation it produces.
Even if you send your dog away to training school, you will eventually have to be present at a point during the training to learn all about the commands your dog is responding to. Contrary to what some people think, a dog cannot be trained in your absence because you need to be the one to issue out the commands. Your dog needs to get used to your tone of voice before it responds to any command that you issue.
Dogs are adept at understanding sign language. Dogs that are particularly trained to guide blind people are trained using audible training modes. The success of each training session with a dog is actually dependent on the dog owner.
Not all dogs are adept at responding to voice command. Most working dogs respond more to hand signal and whistles. A deaf dog can be trained using verbal signals.
The note with which you end a training session with your dog counts. If you end a training session with your dog as an unhappy or vexed note, it will be less than enthusiastic for the next day抯 training. When the training session finishes up on a good note, your dog is bound to look forward to the next day.
Some training gadgets are designed with the size of the dog in mind. Some huge dogs have such thick necks that some collars would be a miserable fit on. If you have a particularly large dog, a pronged collar will be good for it.
Some dog owners may be concerned about teaching dogs tricks to entertain people. Other dog owners may be more concerned with teaching a dog how to lead blind people. The reason a dog owner trains a dog varies from person to person.
Don抰 forget that a dog is different from us in its communicative modes and needs to be treated patiently for it to understand you. If you are a particularly impatient person, training your dog may turn out to be a total fiasco.
