Training Dogs Is As Educating Children

We should think about training our dogs along the same lines as we think of educating our children. All dogs need training and are happy being trained. When well trained they know exactly what is expected of them and fit into their pack, your family. They need training to keep them mentally stimulated and to teach basic words and commands. Many people start saying “NO” to their puppy right from day one, most learn what “NO” means but it is not automatic it is learned, trained. The better we train the better they understand.

We would not think of letting our children grow up without learning to read and count. It should be the same with training our dogs to stay and come, words that every dog should respect. The better you train your dog the more respect it will have for you as the pack leader and the happier it will be. As I always say a well trained dog is a happy dog.
