Obedience Training? Forget It!

    It often amazes me how people can have children and put the time and effort into training their children over many years and then they have a dog and expect training can happen in half hour classes two or three times a week as a puppy and then expect it to last for a life time.순천출장안마

    Training a puppy is a lot like training a child. It takes the following…

    Time, Patience, Repetition, and Reward.의정부출장안마

    With time, training is an ongoing thing. If the dog is a part of the family then it should be treated as a family member, second only to the children of the household.

    If I go to check my mailbox at the top of the driveway, my dogs come with me. I say to the dogs, “POST.” Often they are sitting at the post box waiting for me. They have learned that “post” means I am going to that spot. The post box.

    When out in the car and I need petrol, I say to the dogs, “PETROL.” The dogs know what happens next. I pull into a petrol station.

    At bedtime I say to the dogs, “PIDDLE.” The dogs know their routine and get up and go out for a piddle.동두천출장안마

    Point is that by talking to your dog and being very patient you can teach your dog a hell of a lot more than any learning classes.

    It doesn’t happen overnight anymore than I can expect my 5-year-old son to obtain a degree in astro physics. Patience is its own reward. Treat a dog as you would a three year old child and you’re pretty close to the mark.

    Including “COME,” “DOWN,” and “STAY” routines.구리출장안마

    When I teach a puppy I do not issue a command and then expect the dog to obey. I wait until the dog sits naturally and then say to the dog, “GOOD SIT. SIT GOOD.” and praise with fussing the dog.

    When the dog lies down I say, “GOOD DOWN. DOWN GOOD.” In the use of the word “good” I am teaching the dog a primary training word. In other words, the dog knows after a time that when it hears “good” it associates “good” with a new command to learn and so makes training easier.

    I can suggest a book author for your. His name is Roger Mugford (Never Say No!: The Complete Program for a Happier and More Cooperative Dog.) He is of the humanitarian type of trainer.

    Again, please treat the dog as a part of your family and he will love you for it.
