How To Train Dogs & Puppies

Are you ready for dog training
Dog training and responsible dog ownership begins before the dog enters your home, first of all ask yourself these questions

  • Can you provide a safe enviroment for the dog or puppy?
  • Are you physically willing and able to exercise the dog daily?
  • Do you have the patience and time required to teach the dog correct behavior?
  • Can you afford a dog or puppy? Dog food, training aids, vet bills etc are not cheap!
If you cannot honestly answer yes to all the above questions then a dog is not for you, becoming a dog owner carries with it a lot of responsibility and most dogs will require a lot of quality time from you in order to learn exactly how to behave.

Dog obedience basics
Effective responsible training is one of the best gifts you can give your dog or puppy and yourself. Training doesn’t solve all problems, but it is a good foundation for solving just about any behavior problem. Training enables you to communicate effectively your dog.

Nearly all “problems” reported by owners are in fact perectly normal canine behavior, the dog is basically doing what comes naturally. In a sense the dog does not have any problems, however the owners may see the dogs behavior as problematic in many circumstances, for example

  • soiling your house
  • destroying your belongings
  • barking excessively
  • fighting with other dogs
  • biting you or your children

    • All of the above are perfectly normal for dogs unless you train them otherwise, dogs are after all animals and will naturally behave like animals do in the wild if you do not correct such behavior. Luckily dogs are very intelligent animals and will quickly learn new behavior and commands with a few simple training techniques.

    Simple and effective dog training techniques
    When dogs obey simple commands like ‘come here, sit, etc’ they are showing compliance and respect to you. It is NEVER necessary to establish yourself as top dog or pack leader by using force or violence. Obedience training should be fun and enjoyable for both you and your dog. Some people ask when is the best time to start training my dog? The answer is always RIGHT NOW no matter if a puppy or older dog, the sooner you start teaching the dog how to behave the happier you will both be.

    Training is mormally done at home by the owner, but it can also be carried out in an obedience class, or with a private trainer. Training requires patience, a collar, a leash, a good sense of humor, and an understanding of dog behavior. if you intend to train the dog on your own it is best to do a little research and invest in one of the better quality training books around, we always recommend It’s Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet by Victoria Stilwell.
