Obedience Training with your dog can be a lot of fun for both of you and is an excellent way to build further trust and relationship.
Attract Positive Attention
Goals of training are for your dog to attract only positive attention. Out of the many , this may be one of the most foundational – let me explain: A dog will tend to respond much better to any training you do if your are constantly positively reenforcing good behaviour.
For instance, to behave well around other dogs and people including children; to walk properly on and off leash; to perform other tasks like sit, stay, down, heel immediately upon command, the dog will need to have a steady AND POSITIVE support system that is encouraging and non-threatening. A threatening environment is an environment that will encourage acting out behaviour like aggression, digging, excessive barking and chewing, and biting among others.
That’s why good include the following: Well-trained dogs receive positive attention from their pack and from the larger community. A well-trained dog is a joy be around and will be more welcome on visits and other outings than a dog without manners.
Response to Commands
Obedience requires immediate, reliable, and correct responses to commands.
Immediate and consistent well-timed praise will increase your dog’s confidence and encourage her to respond positively, (as per your goal).
Good dictate that once your dog sees you as the ‘alpha’ (leader), she will respond to commands willingly and consistently.
Keep it Simple
Give one command at a time so as not to confuse your dog or frustrate yourself.
for Success
Never ask a dog to do anything that they can avoid or delay doing – you need to be able to instantly correct any deviation from your command and immediately redirect your dog. Whether formally training or casually relating to your dog, – always prepare to give your dog her best chance to succeed. Only the best will include this point; without it your efforts are dead in the water. For instance, do not even call her name if there is any chance for your dog to evade your command or even delay her response. Teach her to come using a reliable technique (such as a leash) for control and open the door for success.
Sample Training Technique - to get your dog to come when called:
Put a collar on your dog and attach a leash (at least 6’long).
Always use a leash at this stage as you must always be able to follow through on a command.
Let your dog walk around freely. Follow him around with no tension on the leash.
Once your dog feels comfortable doing this, you can progress to actually teaching the recall.
Call your dog’s name and then call “come”, i.e. “Kyzmet, Come”.
Give the leash a tug; strongly enough that your dog feels it and turns around to come to you.
Begin backing up. All the while your dog is actually moving toward you praise him in an encouraging voice. Here’s the kicker: Withholding praise until dog actually reaches you is not effective (as in – its too late).
If your dog gets distracted or stops moving toward you, give another tug and repeat the command “Kyzmet, come”. Begin encouragement as soon as he responds.
Don’t forget to congratulate yourself on your successful training results!
