In Home Dog Obedience Training
It can certainly be alot of fun taking your dog to obedience classes but it can equally be alot of fun, and rewarding, using in home dog obedience training as well. Either way a trained and obedient dog is a much happier dog to have about the home.
An obedient, trained dog is not so likely to get into fighting over dogs and will socialize better with other dogs that you meet out in public, which is a fun part of owning a dog. It is especially important to have a well-trained dog if your family consists of young members or there are children close by in your neighbourhood.
Therefore the beauty of utilising in home obedience training is that all the family can be involved in a very relaxed atmosphere unlike the pressure cooker environment of a dog training class!! Just as you like to have your children behave a dog which is trained correctly makes for a much happier home to live in.
The amount of time that you are prepared to put into your dog will be shown at the other end and either way will have an impact on the rest of your life, for better or worse, depending on what you put in to it. Taking time out obedience training your dog will have a positive impact on the bonding that you and your dog have and the amount of respect therefore which it is prepared to give you.
Another benefit of utilising in home obedience training is that you can set the actual rules and boundaries whilst training within the actual place you will be residing rather than a dog class which is a foreign environment. Considering all the time that you will hopefully have with your dog, the actual time that you need to put into obedience training is very small but hugely rewarding for both parties.
A Few Simple Commands To Start Off
Down
You will want to be able to teach your dog to lay down at your command for a number of reasons, safety to the dog being one of them. It will give you instant control over him/her in any given situation.
Heel
Getting your dog to walk beside and slightly behind you will lead to increased control and respect over the dog as well as making for much more relaxing and enjoyable works. You don’t wont to be hanging on for grim death, especially with a bigger breed!!!
“No!”
Master this one on demand and it will save you a lot of hassle having to fight with your dog to get it to stop or leave something alone. If you gain enough respect from your dog you should eventually be able to look at it and it know what you are saying, without even saying it. I am sure your partner or kids would understand this!!
Sit
Very common command to use which again, like down, can be used as a general control command and/or a way that you can safely handle your dog.
All of these commands, and many more, can be easily achieved in your own home dog obedience training regime and will make your relationship that much happier and enjoyable for both of you, as remember your dog likes to please you.
Ultimately, obedience training your dog let’s it know who is the boss in the relationship and therefore goes a huge way in ensuring that the majority of dog behavior problems are eliminated altogether.
