This article is written so that you might be aware of the various forms of dog training aids that are available to you.
In order for you to be able to know and understand your dog, it is essential that you take up some form of dog training, but with such an array of training possibilities available it is not always easy to know which one is right for you and your dog.
Most dog owners and also people in general are unaware of the various kinds of dog trainings provided. The types of dog training change with the varying stages of development in the dog.
While some dogs have never been trained, some others have already undertaken training before. Therefore, it becomes all the more essential to analyze and know what type of dog training your dog needs.
So, to begin with, the beginners level of training, what is known as basic training, is for puppies or those older dogs which have not yet had any training. As you would expect, this level teaches the basics, such things as sitting, staying, and coming, on command. Also a part of the training is in socialising with other dogs, and indeed other people. All good stuff.
Next up is the intermediate level. Obviously this is a bit more advanced than basic training, and it really is not too suited to puppies. It is ideal for those older dogs who have had a bit of training, either formally in a class, or by their owner at home. The training will be aimed at teaching your dog how to walk to heel, how to fetch something when asked, and how to walk on a leash without pulling, or dragging behind.
I am sure that you have already guessed that the next level of training is the advanced level. Although you might think your dog is ready to go straight into advanced training, can I urge you to take at least the beginners or intermediate level training first. The advanced level is, as you would expect, more advanced than the other levels concentrating on verbal and hand commands for sitting, staying, walking to heel, fetching etc. etc.
Teaching your dog to respond to hand signals is indeed a great move forward, and once you have got to this stage you can then teach them how to walk beside you, off the leash, and without being disturbed or distracted by other dogs and people. You really do need to have a well behaved and obedient dog when you get to this level.
Like all good training, dog training should also have motivators like prizes and rewards to yield better and more positive results. Hitting and yelling at the dog to make it pick up one action is not a wise technique while training. Instead of being a success, chances are that it will give negative output. So you must make sure that the dog training you assign your dog is a positive one, which indulges in positive strategies.
You must also be careful about choosing the right course for your dog"the course best-suited to it. That way, you may soon be able to boast of owning a dog that is obedient, well-mannered, well adjusted and the perfect pet one can have!
