If you are a dog owner, then you will surely have to take up some level of dog training sooner or later. Believe me, the sooner the better, as the faster you train your puppy or your dog, the happier both of you are going to be. If a dog is not trained at all, then how is he going to know when and where to go to the bathroom, what not to chew, why they shouldn’t jump on everyone that walks through the door, along with many other things that have to deal with dog obedience.
Several dog owners are unaware of the levels of dog training that there are, and these types of training often have to do with what stage of development that the dog is going through.
First Step Of Dog Obedience
For instance when a dog is a puppy, or just first being taught, this is most often referred to as basic dog training. Now when it comes to basic dog training, this is usually referred to as teaching your puppy to sit, and how to go to the bathroom outside, and not inside of the home. Once you have this type of dog training down pact you can pretty much say that your puppy is house trained.
2nd Step of Dog Obedience
The step after that is often called the intermediate level of dog training. This is a bit more advanced than the basic, but by no means out of reach for the average dog owner. This level of training occurs in dogs that are a little more mature than puppies, and already have a great understanding of the sit, stay, shake commands, as well as being housebroken. This is when the dog knows who his master is, and will be able to take on other commands such as fetching and retrieving, walking on a leash properly, and knowing how to heel, as well as many other intermediate commands.
Advanced Dog Obedience
Once your dog has had a good amount of dog training from both the beginning and intermediate standpoints, then they will be able to more easily learn some advanced commands, tricks, and dog obedience. Some of these may be “bark”, “roll over”, “play dead”, “heel”, as well as all of the previous dog training commands.
The trick to dog obedience is to use rewards when the dog does something good or what you command it to do. The more you practice this, the more your dog is going to know who is the boss and who deals the food, treats, petting and praise around the home. The more your dog is trained the better your relationship will be, and the less you will be urged to raise your voice at your pooch. A well trained dog is not going to happen over night, it is going to take a lot of time out of your hands, but if you do not have the time to make your pet obedient then you should not have got one in the first place, dog training is very rewarding for both sides, and good luck on finding an animal that is more loyal than man’s best friend.
