Why Training Your Dog Could be the Best Thing You
Can Do for Your Pet
3
Most dogs enjoy listening and are proud of
the knowledge and skills they acquire.
Untrained dogs are seldom as happy as trained
ones, and lead much less interesting lives. Many
dogs also get a sense of security from obedience
and discipline, especially the more intelligent
ones.
4
Every observant dog owner can see for himself
that his dog gets greater satisfaction from the
praise rewarding a well- executed command or
good behavior than he does from the momentary
excitement of disobeying, which is usually
followed by the evident guilt feelings, (ears
back and avoiding eye contact), even when
he has not been punished.
5
Owners vary in their training talents just as
dogs vary in their train ability. Some people are
born animal trainers and accomplish remarkable
results with little effort. But even the best
trainers are seldom equally successful with every
breed of dog. The training procedures that are
highly successful with one type of dog may be
totally ineffective with another.
6
A basic mental affinity, even a certain type of
personality seems to be necessary when training a
dog. All good trainers possess authority,
patience, and self-control. Brilliant ones
possess an additional indefinable "x" quality
that is probably a combination of love and
respect.
7
Dog training techniques have been so well
systematized in recent years that the least
gifted owner can achieve reasonable good results
with effort, persistence, patience, and
understanding. Dogs have a much higher
understanding intelligence than most people give
them credit for. They can and do learn, but we
have to give them our time and patience.
8
All pet dogs should be given basic obedience
training as a matter of course, and not only when
they develop bad behavior. Today s dogs live in a
much faster paced world, just as we do. Even
though we may be with them when they are out in
public, they can still "stray" or disobey.
While training cannot completely compensate
for poor breeding, a bad environment, or poor
upbringing, it can surely help. They world will
teach them how to misbehave, but it's up to us as
pet parents to teach them how to behave.
9
Specialized training isn't necessary unless the
dog is to perform or be seen, such as the
purebred show dogs. This level of training and
behavior requires much more time and labor and
usually requires a higher aptitude on the part of
the dog, and much more skill and patience on the
part of the trainer. Training of so called
"champion" show dogs usually begins when they are
puppies and continues through most of their lives.
10
Training your dog is the basics of behavior and
communication with you can be very rewarding.
What you may lack in experience, equipment,
facilities, etc. is usually compensated for
by your dogs desire to please the person he loves
and lives with, which is his strongest motivation.
