Dog training aids and tools work.
Learn the proper techniques and never get upset with your dog.
The well trained dog is normally quite proud and loves to show off his skills.
Without a doubt a well trained dog will always be far more content and happier than his untrained counterpart.
He has his jobs and responsibilities that allow him to secure his place within the family.
Dogs need to know and understand their place within each family.
Generally dogs derive a true sense of security if allowed to perform the jobs they are taught to do.
A dog will also learn there is normally some sort of reward for a job well done.
Rewards for a dog may be a treat or it may be just simple praise from a family member.
For the dog its the reward and not what the reward actually is.
Most dogs enter family life as puppies and in reality as puppies they are easier to train.
Thankfully there is a plethora of dog training aids and tools that make dog training easier.
These aids and tools exist because when used properly they simply work.
Like any tool or aid it is the users responsibility to learn the proper way to use the tool.
There is almost nothing that can be bought for a dog that with some thought cannot be used as an aid or tool to train your dog.
Dogs are not unaware of what we do.
Simply by picking up the dogs leash many dogs instantly become excited because it signals to the dog that he is about to become involved in some activities with his owner.
This could be a sweater in the winter time or a particular toy he recognizes.
The dog can become very excited scampering around in circles and he may even jump up on his owner.
Until you are able to make him sit in front of you don't hook up the leash.
The dog will learn that is a part of his job no matter his excitement.
It is up to us as the dogs owner to consistently and constantly teach desirable behavior to our pets.
Dog obedience courses exist only because the responsibility to train our dogs falls on us.
Dog obedience courses are for us humans not nearly so much for our dogs.
Every new or prospective dog owner owes the dog a dog obedience course of some kind.
There are right ways, wrong ways, and easier ways of doing things.
That is what obedience schools try to teach and why so many people attend the courses.
The dreaded "H" word.
Cage or crate training is one facet of training that is an absolute must.
That is house breaking.
Not being house broken is the number one reason owners get crazy mad and frustrated with dogs.
It is the number one reason many dogs end up being homeless, cowed and afraid of people in general.
Number one on my list of dog training aids and tools is cage or crate training for house breaking.
Crate or cage training is a tool everyone should learn to incorporate into a dogs education.
Cage or crate training your dog makes sense.
It is not cruel or any other derogatory term one could think of.
In a matter of a day or three with just a little help from us.
Puppies and even mature dogs adjust readily and happily to having their own private and secure space.
The cage trained dog always knows where he can go to rest or just be out of the way.
For the dog his cage represents security, safety, a place that is his alone anytime he wants or needs it.
It is imperative for us the dogs owner to be certain, to learn and know the basics of how to housebreak and control our animals.
Great dogs are not born they are made by owners who make the time it takes to make a dog great.
The great thing is.
Anyone can learn basic dog training.
