How to Successfully Obedience Train Dogs

by Craig Clemins

As a dog owner, obedience training for dogs is one of the most important facets of dog training. Obedience training for dogs is not the "magic bullet" that will solve all of your dogs behavior problems, but it can make a big impact. A couple of the positives of obedience training are that you will have clearer and more effective communication with your dog, you will also learn exactly how to demand obedience from your dog.

Without the proper obedience training your dogs will exhibit behaviors such as improper elimination, destroying your home, loud and inappropriate barking, fighting, biting and many other destructive behaviors. All of which will gradually get worse if the dog feels you are not taking the role of the leader, if he establishes himself as the leader of the pack, even training becomes that much harder.

One of the key outcomes of obedience training is that your dog will see you as the leader and will want to please you. Dogs get great satisfaction out of pleasing you and thrive when a strong leader is present.

When you start your obedience training you will need to remember to keep it fun for your dog. This will strengthen your bond and definitely make your relationship much better. Your dog will feel safe and loved; training them will bring you the success you are looking for in your dog.

If you have never trained a dog before, you may benefit from using a professional dog trainer or enrolling your dog in a training school. These can be very effective (but a little expensive) in correctly training your dog to follow basic commands. You also learn how to give commands correctly which you can then practice with your dog.

While training it is important that sessions are short and to the point, if you make them long and boring, it could have an adverse effect on your dog. You must also be consistent in this training so that they remember and associate their training with the proper behaviors. Make sure that when doing a session that you incorporate some of the dog's favorite activities and make the training fun while maintaining the firmness you will require for them to train properly.

When you are training your dog and he is learning the lessons the way you want him to, and performing the way you want him to, then you will need to offer rewards. The more you reward him for positive activities the better he will do at them. However if you are using praise techniques, do this calmly so he does not get too excited and forget his training.

Affection and treats are a big part of successful obedience training. As a side note, always limit reprimanding your dog as this doesn't really offer any positives to the training and will in most cases only make the training less effective.

Proper obedience training for your dog will bring you a happy and well trained dog. Take your time, be patient and reward his positive behaviors and your dog will be happy to try and please you. - 20511
