How To Train Your Dog In Five Easy Steps
Have you noticed that being around a dog that is trained is
lovely to be around? Dogs that are trained are less likely to
jump up on people, and are less at risk of biting someone. Their
manners are very calm in nature and don't get distracted in most
environments. It is important to train your dog with the goal to
teach them limitations, thus making them more relaxed around
humans. On the internet there are so many hundreds of dog
training programs and as many professional dog trainers.
However, it is hard to tell which are professional and which
give real value to training your dog.
The best way to find a good trainer is to ask your friends and
family if they know a good dog trainer. Once you have found a
trainer, ask them what method of training they teach and how
long they have been instructing. There are tons of training
methods for dogs that do not apply to the times of today. Ask
the trainer what method they use, why they use it, and what the
benefits of it are. No question is stupid because you are
thinking of your dogs best interest.
Whether you train your dog yourself or find a professional,
teaching your dog commands and socializing it is important.
Areas to cover in training include:
1. Learning the sit command. Normally this is the first thing
that new dog owners teach their puppies and dogs.
2. Interacting with other dogs. Helping your dog socialize with
other dogs is great at dog parks and also in a dog training
class.
3. Socializing to strangers. Dogs love humans and getting them
acquainted with more humans makes it easier to interact with
strangers.
4. Dog Leash walking at your pace. This is important that your
dog learns who is the boss by you regulating the speed of the do
walks.
5. Learning the stay command: This command is important for your
dog to master in different environment obstacles.
There are many benefits to having a well-trained dog. But it
doesn't necessarily mean the dog will not develop behavioral
problems down the road. Being around a well-trained dog is a joy
and it strengthens the human-animal bond.
