Choosing a dog can be quite a challenge as there are literally hundreds of different types of dog breeds. This is the reason that it is crucial to comprehend the different kinds of dog breeds and how they may match what you are seeking for in a new puppy. In addition, by putting in to consideration the different breeds you will learn what method of training to apply because the breed of the dog will order (more or less) how your dog will learn.

You can differentiate each breed according to its several classifications. These could classify dogs in Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding. Classify dogs through dog types, such as field dogs, show dogs, guard dogs and service dogs.

Dog training methods depend on dog's breed so they execute better with their own classification:

Russell Terrier -they hunt underground by nature of their breed

• Use a disruption technique when training a terrier.

• Train terriers when its play time because it is more effective as they have high energy and highly active.

• Make sure the eyes of a terrier are on you all the time because focusing is the weakness of a terrier.

• Use rewards, toys or other treats and jiggle them to ensure that the terrier's eyes are on you.

• Terriers can spot movement in an instant and go after the animal producing it because by nature they are hunting dogs. Training them to catch / fetch might be easy.

Collie - it is a herding dog

• Collies are easy to train because they are responsive and strong.

• They are extremely loyal and protective and training them generally isn't a problem.

• By nature, a Collie is a herding dog so once they see a stranger they will continuously bark. This is great when they watch the house at night.

• Teaching your Collie to perform another behaviour when they have the urge to bark is an effective way to teach them not to bark..

Dalmatians - make for excellent companions, but they are ultra-energetic and very strong

• To own a Dalmatian, you must have a large area so they can run and play.

• Training a Dalmatian to fetch can be a pleasure for them, as they will work best with someone who can toss a ball far away.

• Dalmatians can be extremely loyal, but they need a strong hand thus they must know who the master is as this is needed when commanding them.

Knowing your dog's breed is not enough in training your dog, you must also know how they respond on your commands by nature. You should also understand that they have their own characteristics to be able to apply the appropriate training method for them.
