Pet Training Thoughts From The Pet Nanny

Pet training is a vital part of pet ownership. Pet training is the process of teaching a pet to perform certain behaviors under various circumstances and in certain roles on command. Pet training is not magic, it does not happen over night, it takes dedication & hard work. Pet training is not only about training your cat or dog to obey commands like sit, lie down, get up, run etc. The dominance theory of pet training is still promoted by many trainers, but pet training methods utilizing positive reinforcement are gaining popularity and are generally recognized by veterinary behavioral experts as less likely to result in aggression in individual dogs. Going through pet training is great for both the pet as well as the owner.

Training

Training your dog to sit, stay and come when called are basic commands that are easily taught through simple pet training techniques. Training allows you to reward your dog frequently and allows you to interact with your dog in a way that only properly pet training can allow. Training them will simply help you to understand what makes them tick and what drives them. Training is important so that you can control your pet. Training and play time can go together and provide both of you the opportunity to learn and get to know each other better. Training is about teaching the dog rather than controlling it. Training pets is necessary to ensure that a bond is formed between the owner and the pet. Training is as much about teaching you as it is about teaching the dog.
