I recently had some experiences with my dogs as well as a few with friends’ dogs which actually told me about Importance of Dog Obedience Training. Before these experiences I always thought Dog Obedience Training is something a dog owner can do without any expert knowledge or experience, but I was proved wrong
My friend Tania and her husband matt bought a Pug/Chihuahua from a pet store and they named him Jack. When I visited them one 1st weekend I literally envied them both because of jack. Jack was such a cute and cheerful pug he kept jumping all over the couple with joy and love he was very playful and friendly and got acquainted to me in no time as well. I spent that afternoon with them had dinner and went back home to find my Labrador Badger had not eaten is lunch and I had to feed him like I do every day. I involuntarily started comparing Badger and Jack and when I realized that I felt guilty to my bones. Immediately I realized that my dog had separation anxiety issue and I decided to train him to be more independent and vowed to myself I will get read of his separation anxiety issues. Besides separation anxiety my dog also had terrible obedience problem. I called a few friends who owned a dog and asked for tips about Obedience Training. Some of them told me some training commands and how to get train dog for those commands like
• “Heel” to walk on a loose leash
• Respond to “No!”
• “Sit”
• “Stay”
• “Down”
• Respond to “Release”
I tried to teach those to Badger over next week trying not to lose my temper and not to get frustrated. I was successful to some extent in it but I realized it’s not really giving me the results which I expected and I was losing my temper and time over it. Next weekend I had Tania and matt for lunch at my house and I was surprised when they walked in with their dog Jack with them. As we sat down and started talking they told me they are now calling him “Jack the Ripper” and can’t leave him home alone even for a minute. Because of he would rip of pillows and sofa. I smiled to myself and told them problem I am facing with my dog about Obedience Training is pretty similar to what they are facing and as we talked more about it we realized that We are not really equipped for training dogs we have not idea about Obedience Training. And as we though Obedience Training is not really a child’s play it’s a tough job.
We deliberated about solutions and decided we should call a professional dog trainer to get our dogs trained. We searched in yellow pages for dog trainers and called a few dog trainers just to find out that their fees were something we couldn’t afford. We were back to square one and finally we decided to buy some books and train dogs by ourselves. We searched on internet for books about Dog obedience training and found a couple of good ones and I learned a lot from them I would love to share my training experiences with my readers
Dog obedience training experience 1:
We used our dogs name to get his attention. To have good control of our dog we realized we must be able to get a good orientation response from the animal. [ Build attention by using your pet’s name when calling it for food, walks, and play.] we did this randomly 10 times a day. Most important thing we learned was to never punish our dogs for coming to you or by calling him.
Dog obedience training experience 2:
We Always enforced commands that we gave, and didn’t constantly repeat commands. If we were not serious about enforcing a command, we didn’t give it.
Dog obedience training experience 3:
We Used timing as a form of communication with our dogs. Timing is one of the key elements of canine education. It does not matter what teaching method we were using, we worked at developing the proper timing for each technique.
Dog obedience training experience 4:
We didn’t punish desirable behavior. Such as having your puppy eliminate outside and then immediately leaving the puppy. If the puppy wants to be with you, you will have just punished the pup for doing the right behavior.
