Most dogs enjoy listening and are proud of the
knowledge and skills they acquire. Untrained dogs
are seldom as happy as trained ones, and lead much
less interesting lives. Many dogs also get a sense of
security from obedience and discipline, especially
the more intelligent ones.
Every observant dog owner can see for himself that
his dog gets greater satisfaction from the praise
rewarding a well- executed command or good
behavior than he does from the momentary
excitement of disobeying, which is usually followed
by the evident guilt feelings, (ears back and
avoiding eye contact), even when he has not
been punished.
Owners vary in their training talents just as dogs
vary in their train ability. Some people are born
animal trainers and accomplish remarkable results
with little effort. But even the best trainers are
seldom equally successful with every breed of dog.
The training procedures that are highly successful
with one type of dog may be totally ineffective with
another.
A basic mental affinity, even a certain type of
personality seems to be necessary when training a
dog. All good trainers possess authority, patience,
and self-control. Brilliant ones possess an additional
indefinable "x" quality that is probably a
combination of love and respect.
Dog training techniques have been so well
systematized in recent years that the least gifted
owner can achieve reasonable good results with
effort, persistence, patience, and understanding.
Dogs have a much higher understanding intelligence
than most people give them credit for. They can and
do learn, but we have to give them our time and
patience.
All pet dogs should be given basic obedience training
as a matter of course, and not only when they
develop bad behavior. Today s dogs live in a much
faster paced world, just as we do. Even though we
may be with them when they are out in public, they
can still "stray" or disobey. While training cannot
completely compensate for poor breeding, a bad
environment, or poor upbringing, it can surely help.
They world will teach them how to misbehave, but
it's up to us as pet parents to teach them how to
behave.
Specialized training isn't necessary unless the dog is
to perform or be seen, such as the purebred show
dogs. This level of training and behavior requires
much more time and labor and usually requires a
higher aptitude on the part of the dog, and much
more skill and patience on the part of the trainer.
Training of so called "champion" show dogs usually
begins when they are puppies and continues
through most of their lives.
Training your dog is the basics of behavior and
communication with you can be very rewarding.
What you may lack in experience, equipment,
facilities, etc. is usually compensated for by your
dogs desire to please the person he loves and lives
with, which is his strongest motivation.
