Obedience Training for Your Dog
We've all encountered them at some point. Ill-mannered dogs.
We've even seen their owners yelling at them, tugging at their
leashes trying to make them behave. What is sad is that you
can't blame the dog for the owner's irresponsibility.
This type of behavior could have been avoided with obedience
training. Obedience trainng is a platform for the dog and the
owner to learn how to effectively communicate with one another.
Can you conduct obedience training on your own? This is a
question that has long been debated by the experts. One school
of thought is that it would be better if a professional does the
training, while others feel the owner can do it if they feel
competent. The truth is that a combination of trainer and owner
is

probably the most effective.
Find an obedience school in your area. You will probably be told
that they recommend a series of lessons that include both the
dog AND the owner. Sometimes the classes can be arranged where
trainer comes to your home. Some trainers feel that training
where the surroundings are familiar is helpful where some prefer
their own location.
However, whether the obedience training is done at home, by a
professional trainer, or in an obedience school, there are
things that must be considered when incorporating this kind of
training. Here is a list of the things that should be taken into
account.
1. Fun
Obedience training does not necessarily mean that strict rules
should be imposed. This is because the dog is not aware of the

why he should be trained. Therefore, for him to respond
to the commands, the training must be done in such a way that
the dog sees the activity as something that is fun.
The dog should be praised when he exhibits proper behavior. Some
trainers also recommend treats and some do not. That should be
discussed with your trainer.
2. Consistency
During the course of obedience training, it is very important to
have consistency in the training. For example, if a dog was
allowed to sit on the rug the other day and when the dog tried
to sit on the rug today, he was scolded. Things like this should
not be taken for granted. It is extremely important to teach the
dog what he should and should not do and stick to it. Confusion
will only make the matters worst.

Obedience training instructor/trainer
When people choose to enroll their dogs in an obedience class,
it is important to analyze the trainer before the owner leaves
his dog. The character and personality of the trainer is
extremely important. They should be professional enough to know
how to handle the dog's behavior and how to train them properly.
Again, you might want to find a trainer that works with both you
AND your dog.
4. Referrals
It is best not to try new and unfamiliar obedience training
schools. This could be really risky both for you and for your
dog. It would be better if dog owners will ask for some
referrals from their veterinarians, dog breeders, or other
people who can give their honest opinions.
5. Charges
Not all obedience

training schools are created equal. They vary
depending on the kind of services they offer. It is best to
consider their fees and what services they offer at that rate.
This is one area where you don't want to scrimp so cheapest
isn't always the best. Also, make certain you are dealing with a
trainer that will work with both you AND your dog.
6. Methods used in the training
It is highly recommended that dog owners ask about the methods
being used in the training. Make sure the terms are spelled out
clearly. Shop for the best training you can find for the money.
Don't make a decision quickly. If you don't feel comfortable
with one individual, by all means keep looking.
There are some dogs that just seem to follow directions with
little or no effort with never a

session of profession training.
Unfortunately, these examples are few and far between.
Invest in obedience training and you can look at a long and
healthy relationship with a loving companion. With obedience
training, dogs will surely be on their way to happier and more
enjoyable stay with their masters and the people around them.
