Training A Well Behaved Dog

The type of dog training that is necessary is the same, regardless of whether it is in San Francisco or anywhere throughout Sonoma County as well as across the United States. You would want to make sure that you get the right type of training so that the problem was not only corrected, it did not add to the problems at the same time.



One of the common issues that is associated with a problem dog is having it pull on the leash when you're walking it. This can be difficult to break but perhaps one of the most important things that you can do is to make sure that you are firm and persistent when you're walking the animal. Some people will have a specific method that they would use in order to break a dog from pulling on the leash, such as using a doorknob or other immovable object. In reality, however, the right type of training equipment, which would include an all leather leash and a choker collar should help to train your dog without any problem or without further causing problems with the animal.



Another issue that is sometimes seen is that a dog is going to bite or perhaps just nip at you. This can be rather unpleasant but it is not impossible to correct. You need to make sure that you are firm, however, when you are correcting the dog for this. A firm "NO" is going to be necessary and then you should ignore the animal until they stop the behavior.



A similar difficulty is that you may have a dog that jumps up on you or perhaps scratches your arm in order to get attention. The problem with this is, many pet owners are going to allow their animals to do it and even reward them for doing it by giving them the attention that they desire. Do not get angry with your animal when they do this, simply turn your back on them and ignore them. This can be difficult, however, because some dogs have the problem so deeply rooted that they will continue to scratch on the back of your legs.



When you have a dog that is difficult to train, the best thing that you can do is to hire a professional trainer that will assist you. This goes beyond going to basic obedience classes in your local area, it requires having a trainer come to your home and give you personalized, one-on-one assistance. This will not only help you to see where you may be going wrong but it will also give the trainer an opportunity to analyze the animal in the environment in which the problem is occurring. This will give you the best chance to overcome the difficulty permanently and have the animal be a more respectable part of the family.
