Dog Training Tips, Advice & Information |
|
Dog training and obedience can be performed in many different ways. Our favourite tool is the clicker, as we find clicker training to be the fastest dog training technique and the easiest to learn for less experienced dog owners.
It is vital when training dogs that you look at the behaviour of the dog beforehand and choose a dog training method to suit the character and temperament of the breed being trained.
You need to understand the canine instincts which apply to all dogs before beginning any form of dog training or obedience work. Even if you only intend to cover the basics with your dog, you still must learn some simple aspects of dog behaviour before being able to train a dog successfully.
Our dog training information is here to help you secure that special relationship with your dog, through accurate dog training and obedience techniques, with a strong emphasis on clicker training, using only positive and reward based training methods.
We do not believe in punishing a dog during training because it does not help achieve the results any faster, and it certainly doesn't help build trust between handler and dog, a key factor when asking a dog to do something challenging and outside of its normal comfort zone.
You can post questions or comments about your training experiences in our Dog Forum, or ask us to help with any dog problems you have during your obedience sessions.
Training dogs is one of the most rewarding parts of dog ownership, and it is irresponsible for any dog owner not to have their dog obeying a few very basic commands like "Come" and "Stay". These simple but essential commands may one day save the life of your canine friend, as they have mine several times.
Dog training is not a choice you can take or leave. You are training your dog every single day, just by being a dog owner. Your dog watches and listens to everything you do and say, and he or she learns from it, constantly. If you do not learn the basics of dog training or try to improve your obedience skills, all you are doing is leaving your dog's behaviour to chance and hoping for the best. This is a recipe for canine behaviour problems later.
We are here to show you how to send the right messages to your dog, so you don't teach unwanted behaviours, and so that you have some basic dog commands firmly cemented in your dog's mind enabling you to gain control of your dog in any situation, which is something any responsible dog owner should value greatly, and your dog certainly will.
Dog training also just happens to be great fun, probably even more so for your dog than for you, so go grab some treats, get your clicker ready, and start reading our dog training articles now!
