Getting Your Dog Started on Advanced Obedience Training

by Geraldine Dimarco

Many people shun advanced obedience training because it seems too difficult a task. It's not. It takes a lot of patience but it is one of the best experiences you can share with your dog. It frees you of dog induced stress while giving your pet a much better life he deserves. Successfully trained dogs receive the mental stimulation they need to make them well-adjusted and confident dogs. Even if you leave him with children and other pets, you can rest assured of his good behavior.

The most important thing to remember in attempting to train your dog is to establish your role as the superior in your relationship. When he understands that you are his master, it is easier to teach him the commands he is expected to obey. Confusing the animal in this regard can be dangerous; he will be aggressive and strive to dominate you. Dont overcompensate and be excessively harsh to show you're the boss; be firm, stand your ground and correct this unfavorable trait as soon as you see it rearing its ugly head.

Make your authority known by using a strong and sure voice. When you say Sit! gently guide him in the desired position firmly. Each command will take several tries, especially in the beginning. Progression from basic to more advance obedience training is relatively simpler once your dog recognizes the patterns youve set in your teaching sessions.

Operant conditioning is the best way to train dogs. This is done by rewarding animals with accolades and treats to let them know that their behavior is good. Remember to praise your dog each time he does something right. If he does the same thing and it goes unnoticed- this will throw him off as to what you want from him. Make an effort to remember and reap the benefits in the future.

On the other hand, do not neglect to reprimand the dog for wrong behavior. Do this at the time he is committing the mistake not after so he will know that action is wrong. Chastising the animal will also emphasize right from wrong. For example, if he eats dirt in the street scold him immediately. Right after put dog food in front of him and enthusiastically praise him wen he eats the latter.

Keep dog obedience training sessions short and sweet throughout the day. Keep doing the commands you want him to learn. This will drive the lessons home. Teach him at different times in the day so his obedience is not relegated to only a certain time and place.

Movie dogs awe you with the complexity of the stunts asked of them. But they all started with Sit. Begin with the basics and climb your way up. With patience and consistency, your dog will advance to more difficult commands like growl, leave it, fetch and attack. Use the same principles in how you trained him earlier and you will find success in the higher levels.

Now you are in possession of the secrets experts use in their advanced obedience training dog school. All you have to do is to find Fido and get on your way to doggie obedience success! - 20511
