Dog Training - Everything You Need to Know

"Dog Training - Everything You Need to Know!"," Many also believe that some dogs are simply not trainable.
 The truth of the matter is this: all dogs are trainable, and training a dog doesn't have to be hard work.
 It is of course true that some dog breeds are easier to train than others.
 What we venture to explore then, are some of the things you need to do, in order to get the training of your dog right.


You'll further be deemed to have gotten the training of your dog right if you manage to the essential dog skills in an enduring way.


Thus, in a nutshell, the parameters through which success in dog training can be gauged include:- The duration of time expended in passing on the essential skills to the dog.
- How long the skills are retained by the dog.
 You have to keep it in mind that there are two variables at play here.
 And the second of those is your dog's natural ability - against a background where some dog breeds seem to 'get' things faster than others.
 This means that the commonly held belief that puppies below six months of age shouldn't be trained is altogether wrong.
 It is worth noting that unlike us humans, dogs are (in some ways) highly evolved animals - whose life skills learning process starts the moment they are born.


Now the best time to start training a dog would be when he or she is learning basic life skills, so that the skills you want to pass on to him or her are also adopted alongside those basic canine life skills.
 They would be more deeply ingrained in him or her.
 It is just that you'd have a harder time (and less fun) training the older pooch.
 When the dogs fail to pick such skills, they are labeled boneheads - whereas it is not really their fault that they are unable to pick the skills, but rather, the trainer's fault for not having initiated training earlier.


When we get to the nitty-gritty of dog training, it emerges that various skills and behaviors can only be transmitted and ingrained in dogs through the right use of rewards and corrections.
 And conversely, the biggest correction/punishment you can give to a dog is deprivation of attention.
 Just looking at the dog lovingly is a way of 'rewarding' him or her with attention.
 Praising the pooch verbally is yet another way of rewarding him or her with attention.
 Dog seem to have that ability.
 He is inclined to correct the behavior, in order to regain your attention.


What you mustn't do, however, is to hit the dog as a form of punishment/correction: the simple reason being that the dog won't understand that being hit is a form of 'punishment.
 If the dog keeps on doing things like running to the road or messing up neighbors stuff, you'd be better advised to find ways of restraining his movements, rather than hitting him.
 You have to keep it in mind that it takes dogs some time to pick ideas that seem too simple to us as humans.
' On the contrary, this is one of those endeavors where kindness and the 'soft approach' seem to work better than the tough Spartan approach to training.
 You won't be successful as a dog trainer if you give up too easily - that is, like where you illustrate a desired behavior to a dog, and then give up if the dog fails to pick it up immediately.


Consistency as a key to success in the training of dogs


This is a scheme where, for instance, having settled on a particular reinforcement (reward or punishment), you need to apply it consistently, so that the dog under training can understand what it actually means.
