The Thing to Learn About Puppy Training

Puppy training is awesome; dealing with youthful puppies has to be one of most rewarding, and fun, components of pet ownership. From your puppy's first weeks at home throughout his/her life training never stops. Starting early, being positive, consistent, and patient are the best tips for puppy training.

Expert training for you, and your puppy, can teach you doggy fundamentals as well as general obedience. It includes investing time with him/her so you both are communicating on the same wavelength. Canines and people think differently, and a great dog training coach works with you and your dog by demonstrating to both of you how your relationship should work.  

The Function of Professional Puppy Training.

Puppies are not just blank slates ready for want ever personality you want to imprint on it. Dogs are born with numerous instincts, the better you understand these instincts the better the puppy trainer and pack leader you will be. Many people endeavor puppy training on their own and most dogs, being followers, fit in very well to most households. The strongest drive in any dog is to please his pack leader. Smart dogs that have the potential to go a leader need to be shown good consistent leadership right from the start. If master is inconsistent, or confusing, a smart dog will think he is a better leader and do as he wishes, take advantage, or even challenge the owner. When shown good consistent leadership these same smart dogs develop into great dogs. Even if you have owned dogs all your life, or you are getting a dog for the first time, you can learn how to be a better pack leader.

First Thing I Teach Any Dog

The first thing I teach any dog is a boundary, usually the front door. I teach them to not cross the threshold until they are told to. I teach this without a command to stop the dog, it is alright if they sit, stand, or lay down, as long as they do not cross the line. It can be any door or gate, in a back door, out the front door or gate, any boundary where you want the dog to not go. This is a handy thing, knowing the dog is not going to go until you say, but I always start with this because it uses their territorial instinct, which is strongly at all ages, to introduce them to my negative and positive in a way they understand immediately. Then, focusing twice as much on positive, incorporate the same consistent negative and positive into a working routine. The working routine is then practiced daily for no longer than five minutes at a time. 

This is a respect building time and should be practiced by everyone that the dog lives with. Some of the time the people should work one on one with the dog, other times working the dog together, so the dog learns that all the people in his pack are above him in the pecking order. The dog has to respect everyone in the house either alone or all together. The practice time will become fun and the dog should get very good at responding to the commands, but even when the dog knows everything you want you should keep practicing. Keep the respect high and let him earn your praise and approval, demanding more and more from his actions and performance. The better the dog works the better the respect and the more you demand the better the dog understands that it is his actions that please and/or displease you. You can then use that respect for behavioral modifications and/or teach the dog to do or not do just about anything.

Man’s Best Friend (by Wesley Laird)

Dogs truly are Man’s Best Friend; they are loyal and love you no matter what. Dogs and humans have been living side by side for about 15,000 years, so you might think we know each other pretty well. Dogs are very diverse from breed to breed, countless different sizes, shapes, and colours. All dogs descended from the wolf family that inhabited Europe, Asia, and North America. We know that dogs have had a relationship with people for many years through a study of cave drawings, pottery, and early carvings. But there’s more to dogs than sitting, rolling over, and playing dead. Dogs can be a pleasure to be around and a joy in your life, but untrained poor mannered dogs can be a pain for owner and people around. 

The bottom line is training. As I always say “if you are not training your dog, your dog is training you”. They want and need leadership, you must be there as “pack leader” for them. You need to train them so they know what is expected of them and where they fit into the pack and the world around. Dog training is teaching a dog to respond to commands, or the modifying of actions not natural to the dog, to help the dog be a happy part of our human environment, modifying the dogs’ natural toileting, digging, barking, and chewing behaviours, to fit our life styles. There are many styles of dog training, almost as many as there are trainers. Those that focus on positive, and do not rely on food bribery, are comparatively the best. Teaching your dog to do, or not do, everything out of love and respect for you, the pack leader. Deserve to be your dogs’ best friend.

Their Pet Makes Them Smile

It has been established that people who own pets live longer, have less stress, and have fewer heart attacks.

Most dog owners (94 percent) say their pet makes them smile more than once a day.

Introducing “Sit” command

Sit is the first command most people teach their dogs and pups. Sit is an important command, a natural position and comfortable for the dog. Dogs all around the world are trained to sit with the commands given in as many languages as there are. Any words, sound, hang signal or look can be taught to the dog to be a command. Commands are conditioned responses.

Many people create bad habits while introducing sit. Probably the most common using food creates repeating the command until the dog sits then giving the treat. I have two major problems with this simple technique that we have all seen people use. The first problem is using food from the start. Sure it works with most pups but you should not need bribery to get your own dog to do any command. A lot of dogs will only listen when you have food, others that dint care as much about food listen when they want. Repeating is not commanded, it is asked, Whenever you repeat your commands you are telling your dog he did not have to respond to the first time you said it. It is best right from the start to only command once.

When you are first introducing sit to a new dog, or a puppy, have him on a leash. Keeping the lead loose says sit once in your normal speaking voice. Help him into a sit position and praise highly with high pitch baby talk tone of voice. Use your tones of voice; show your pooch you are happy with his sitting. Keep the introduction positive. Later you can incorporate disapproval for not sitting but do your best to be positive and keep it fun, not repeating and not bribing. 

All commands should be trained given once and in your normal speaking voice. If you start yelling or repeating your dog may only respond if you yell or repeat. When you repeat any command you are telling the dog he did not have to respond to the first command. I have seen many people say to their dogs “sit, Sit, SIT,” getting louder and louder. Those dogs are taught the command “sit” is “sit, Sit, SIT,” when it should just be “sit”, once and normal voice. Really when repeating you are asking not commanding. Asking and commanding should be very different. Asking, or keying, are requested or warnings and are conditioned through repetition. Commands the dog must do, you are telling not asking.
