Some Useful Information.

  • The phrase “raining cats and dogs” originated in seventeenth-century England. During heavy rainstorms, many homeless animals would drown and float down the streets, giving the appearance that it had actually rained cats and dogs.


  • French poodles did not originate in France but in Germany (“poodle” comes from the German pudel or pudelhund, meaning “splashing dog”). Some scholars speculate the poodle’s puffs of hair evolved when hunters shaved the poodle for more efficient swimming, while leaving the pom-poms around the major joints to keep them warm.

  • Dogs can smell about 1,000 times better than humans. While humans have 5 million smell-detecting cells, dogs have more than 220 million. The part of the brain that interprets smell is also four times larger in dogs than in humans.
  

  • OLD DOGS CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS. With patience and understanding you can teach an old dog new tricks depending on what you are trying to teach the dog – or unteach the dog, which is usually more difficult. Like humans, dogs can learn at any age – it’s just old habits that are hard to break!
  • Ever wondered why dogs turn around several times before they lie down? It's all down to genetic memory, and stems from the days when their wild ancestors would trample down grass and foliage to make a bed for the night

When is it best to start puppy training?

In Home Dog Training Melbourne


When is the right time to start training a puppy? Puppies seem to mature at different rates making it hard for many people to know when the most useful time is to start a training regimen. House training, or potty training, should begin as new puppy into your home. Keeping this positive and anticipating when your puppy needs to relieve itself. Praising highly when he goes where you want him to. I always tell people to avoid the word “No” with their new puppies for the first week to ten days that it comes home. Just spoil and pamper a new puppy focusing on bonding before anything else. Most people think they should just let a puppy cry, they believe if they go to a cry puppy it will make it a cry baby dog. This is not true that first week. Again bonding with you is the most important first step.

Crate training, keeping the puppy in a small area or crate, can be a very helpful tool in the house/toilet training procedure. Dog were den dwellers in the wild. Their denning instinct tells them not to relieve themselves where they sleep. If you keep your puppy in a crate at sleeping time he will learn to hold it until you let him out. First thing in the morning, or when he demands to go out, take him to where you want him to go and praise highly when he does. It is also a go time to key him by saying “hurry up, toilet, or do potty” anything you want him to associate with going so later you can ask him to go.  

After your puppy has settled into his new home, you can start teaching basic commands and work on socialization. The more friendly experiences we can set up with him the better for socializing. And it is best not to repeat commands from the very beginning. All commands should be given once and in your normal speaking voice. Never repeat and never yell. Never ever hit, not with anything ever, for any reason. 

Get him used to a lead. Just let him drag it around at first or lead him to his food. Many dogs don’t like the lead at first, they want to fight it. If you take it off because he fights it, he will fight it to get you to take it off. Put it on and off a lot, at play times, meal times, or just for fun. Do not make him feel restricted by it. Never leave it on if you are not going to be right with him.

Private Service Dog Training

When the time comes to train a dog there are almost as many schools of thought of dog training as there are breeds of dog. Very common for people to think weekly group sessions focused on basic obedience is the best way to go, it is the most common and many people get good results and enjoyment taking their dogs to these group type trainings. Other people send their dog away to have someone else train it for them and this can be beneficial for someone who has no time for their dog at all. But really if someone has no time for their dog, they should not have a dog at all? The best way to learn to train your dog is through a private service dog training that comes to you and teaches you how to train your dog at home, on the dog’s territory.

A Tighter Emotional Bond

Be mindful utilizing both positive and negative reinforcement consistanctly the wrong way can prompt exceptionally troublesome conduct. It's generally best to consult with a qualified dog trainer or behavioual specialist.

Obviously there are more than enough old fashioned dog coaches who say that the old systems are indeed the best and that impulse training is one of the most ideal approaches to prepare a dog. There are numerous actualizes access to these old school dog mentors that they have a tendency to use to hold their dog under control incorporate such things as the stun neckline and the stifle chain. These are seen as being cold blooded by those individuals who push the prize and commend technique yet seen as a fundamental apparatus by those dog coaches who lean toward the more strict strategy for dog training.

There are many people that don’t think they need to train their dogs, that it just happens automatically and with many dogs this may be true. But even those dogs could be even better once trained. The communication and bond between a knowledgable master and well trained canine is fantastic.

A Trained Dog Is A Happy Dog

What is Dog Obedience Training?

Dog obedience training is a lot more than teaching several instructions to your new puppy. It’s teaching the owner what to do consistently, and be a good consistent pack leader of their dog.
The most crucial purpose of dog obedience training is peace of mind. Knowing that your dog will obey your commands instantly whether that be to protect you or your dog from danger or simply knowing your dog will be obedient with strangers, family and children.

For a dog to be considered obedient rather than simply trained in obedience, it must respond reliably each time its handler gives a command. Dogs may be trained in obedience and not be obedient.

Obedience training is often a prerequisite for or component of other training. Many dog owners only train their dogs to do the basics. This is usually, toilet training, sitting and laying down.

Many people reward their dogs with a treat but this is not always a good choice. Dogs should be trained to respect you and obey commands simply because you are the leader of their pack.

A dog that has specialized obedience training will behave well in all circumstances and will respond to instructions immediately without hesitation. They will be devoted followers and bring joy to your household.

Naturally Dogs Want A Pack Leader




Consistency is most important in letting the dog know what pleases and displeases you. Everyone that lives with the dog must be consistent. We want the dog to know exactly what is expected without any confusion.

In the wild dogs lived in packs, they are pack animals. Their strongest drive is to follow, or please their pack leader. This is how dogs were domesticated in the first place. A dog should perceive its owner as the pack leader; the strongest drive is to please its owner.

Naturally, dogs want to establish a pecking order within the pack. In a home situation, dogs need only to understand that they are at the bottom of the pecking order for all humans they live with. This is why it is important that everyone who lives with the dog be involved with maintaining the consistency.
