Have your puppie's favourite food!

Your pet is a member of your family and he reflects upon you. You teach your children to be respectable members of society; you need to teach your puppy to be a respectable member of society too. A well-behaved, obedient and compliant dog is a pleasure to own and a pleasure to be around, but a puppy will not turned out to be that well-mannered dog without some guidance. Training your dog is vital.

Many excellent dog training programs are well worth the cash you pay. Your dog will be disciplined, well mannered and willing to please you. This makes owning your pet an excellent experience free of chaos. A compliant dog is much happier and more at ease because they know what is expected of them and where they stand in the pack order.

Simply how much training your dog needs is dependent upon what you are hoping. If you are wanting to enter your dog in shows, of course, he will require much more preparation than if you are only needing a disciplined and well-mannered member of your family. Training requirements also contrast with breed, age and personality.

Your dog's temperament will be very important when it comes to training your dog. Many dogs are nervous, but is your dog is apprehensive because of past mistreatment or just because of a submissive character? A dog may also be assertive, perhaps because of past cruelty or because of a character trait where he wants to establish himself as the alpha dog. The instruction you decide on will be dependent upon what you are looking for and the characteristics that you want to instill and the temperament and qualities of your own puppy.

Whether or not you prefer to train your dog yourself or enlist the aid of a professional, you want to make sure that the energy and patience that is required is there. You also want your dog to be taught with love so that your dog achieves the greatest results.

Whenever you take on a pro dog trainer as opposed to doing it yourself, the quality and price of training will vary. Also there is a huge divergence between training philosophies as some trainers may employ more types of corporal punishment while others concentrate only on positive rewards. It is up to you to determine what is suitable for you and your dog.

Most of the big chain pet stores and other places have brief obedience training sessions for puppies and owners. After a few sessions you may find that your dog-training task is simpler and you can elicit cooperation from your puppy more easily.

Normally strive to keep your dog training sessions brief enough so that you are both still having fun. Some dogs learn sooner than others and you will need to accept and respect your dogs own uniqueness and personality in order to the get the best results with training. If you respect him and keep it fun, your dog will try harder to please you and you will be more apt to have the relationship you want. - 32404
