The Benefits Of Dog Obedience Training- Why should I train my dog?
October 22nd, 2010
Dog obedience training is the very best thing you can do for your relationship with your dog.
Here are some points to consider:
- Basic obedience training makes life simple to your dog and cuts down on confusion. By learning from you the handler/guardian (owner), your dog will know her place in the world and understand right from wrong. Remember, for dogs there are no gray areas. They see the world in black and white terms and your dog will appreciate you showing “our mostly gray world” in black and white to her.
- Training your dog when done properly is fun and rewarding for both of you.
- When your dog is trained you will have a happy, obedient and balanced dog that you can take anywhere with you. Not to mention when you know your dog will come back to you when called you can provide greater freedom to your dog. Leash is a human invention to Restrain dogs, but trained dogs don’t need leashes.
- Obedience trained puppy or dog is a safe dog .
- By training your dog you gain trust and respect with your dog. She will understand what is expected of her and knows that you will always be fair and consistent with this.
- When your dog is trained she will be just as great when you have friends/kids around.
- If your dog is unruly you are less likely to exercise your dog. So training your dog will fulfill some vital needs for your dog: Exercise, mental stimulation, spending time with you and providing her with a “job”.
- Dog training will reduce the time your dog spends away from you locked up in a crate because you (you and your dog) is struggling over dominance. You’ll be the always fair guardian , who she’ll respect and look to for guidance.
We view dog training as a process which we build upon over time. Not only that but this process will build your (you and your dog) confidence along the way.
