Why Dog Obedience Training?

 Dog Training

Many people have problem in giving their canine friend obedience training. In order to help those persons, some tips on how to train your dog has been discussed in here. The very first thing to remember is that negative enforcement training such as punishing the dog using choke collars or giving them electric shocks, hitting, etc. would not help you to make your dog obedient. This type of training method might seem to work at first but you would later on find that your pet has become rather violent and ferocious as all those punishments have made him really unstable and violent. Therefore, always opt for the positive methods in your dog obedience training. Use words of praise, petting, food etc. as rewards if he learns new tricks or listens to your command.

It is also better if you can create a training schedule for your canine friend. Always maintain the schedule and train your dog according to that schedule every day. It is best if you allot the training time before your doggy’s meal time as it would encourage it to learn faster. Also, remember to keep your dog obedience training sessions short as our canine friends usually tend to lose their concentration if the training sessions stretch over five minutes. You can try for the leash training. You can make it learn how to be calm while having a leash around. This is also a part of dog obedience training.
