When considering adding a new dog to the home, there are many factors to think about. When making this new addition, make sure to prepare for proper training and have the right tools on hand to make the transition easier for the puppy and yourself. While it's possible to train a dog yourself, for those without experience in dog ownership a dog training course with your puppy will be well worth the investment.
If you already have a dog, perhaps you have seen the show "It's Me or the Dog" and thought - that sounds like me! If your dog is running your house, perhaps you should consider dog training school. Many times dogs misbehave not because they are bad, but because the owners don't know how to train them properly. Investing in a training program for you and your pooch will create a happy and peaceful relationship.
What are the biggest reasons you should choose dog training school as opposed to doing it yourself?
Often, pet owners get caught in a power struggle with their dog. Learning the right body language, tone of voice, and reward system for your dog are essential to keep you in control. Owning a dog is like being a parent, and some well given advise can save the day.
Dog training also allows dogs to learn how to socialize with other people and other dogs. Learning how to behave around others is imperative when taking your dog out. A dog obedience course provides friendships for both dogs and their owners.
Owners who take a class with their dogs with a formal setting will be learning commands in the ultimate environment. Here, the instructor knows how to teach the owner to "speak dog" and use body language that will get the appropriate responses. Often times there are simple things that work well with dogs that the general public might not know. Having an instructor handy will give them the opportunity to watch how well you work with your dog, and to give you pointers to correct things.
By working in a classroom environment, the dog will be learning commands with distractions. While this may initially seem like a disadvantage, it actually makes it better. The skill sets will be remembered easier at home once the distractions are removed. This is more effective than trying to get a dog to remember his manners with distractions, when he has only learned them in a controlled environment.
Taking your dog through obedience training will provide a satisfying relationship. A well trained dog is more secure, better behaved, and confident. Being able to trust the owner and expectations will provide a long lasting relationship with your loyal friend. Dogs that have been through obedience training are safer around friends and children, while preventing unacceptable behaviors.
A dog that is trained well will allow you to fully enjoy the benefits of dog ownership. Dogs will also give fringe benefits as well - lower incidences of illness, a source of exercise, and an outlet for social interaction. This benefits both owner and dog! - 31975
