If you want a well trained dog that is used to obey commands and listens to you in all kind of situations you need to train your dog and if it is possible you should start training when he or she is still a puppy. A well trained dog is of immense importance to both you as the dog. If your puppy does not learn to do his business outside of the house or to listen to you in dangerous situations like a busy road, you and your dog will not have a happy long life together. Dog training is there for a very important part in the life of your pup.
If you are on for serious dog training, then you should first acquaint yourself with the right set of training accessories and equipment. If you enroll your dog in a training school, then the training accessories usually come with the training fees. However, if you plan to train your dog at home, then you can purchase training accessories at various pet shops or dog schools. There are also many training accessories that are sold on the net. Training materials are usually sold separately but there are some who offer items as a complete set. If you are blessed with carpentry skills and overflowing creative juices, then you can also opt to create your own set of training accessories.
Dog training with an obedience instructor can vary in price and it usually takes place in a class. If you do the dog training yourself it is usually free and you can do it from your own home. You will soon see for yourself how effective a crate will make your dog training easier! Many people find this part of dog training to be more common in puppies.
Crate training for puppies is generally the first step. Choose a crate that is just big enough for the adult dog to lie down. The crate is the equivalent of your dog's den or cave; it is Fido's personal space. The crate helps you limit your new pup's access to different parts of the house until he learns all your house rules. It keeps him away from destructive activities like chewing, destructive playing and accidental soiling. A crate also helps you transport your dog safely to a vehicle or to places where he can play. A dog that is trained properly will come to think of his crate as a safe haven where he can rest, drink and feed without fear. A play pen that attaches itself to the crate is a great way to encourage your pup to play in an environment that is safe and secure. This will help you give your pup the desired exercise without worrying about him misbehaving, getting hurt by oncoming traffic or hurting someone else accidentally. As your dog grows, you will have to train him to behave in and out of doors. He will have to learn to sit, stay and fetch on command. You will need to use several techniques to get him to listen to you. Using the appropriate toys and treats, you need to reward good behavior. But you should never punish bad behavior. The trick is to encourage your dog to do the things he wants, with a lot of encouragement, love and rewards. Trust and mutual respect rather than the old school methods of harsh corrections and punishment should be the key. Training sessions should ideally be short, consistent and filled with fun.
There are also many different places to go for your dog training. Dog training can also protect your dog. A dog that has been properly trained won't go chasing after a bouncing ball into traffic. Despite the differences there are some basic things in common for training all dogs. No matter why you have a dog he should at least have some very elementary dog training. No one wants a dog that isn't housebroken who runs away or into the street that won't sit come or stay when you want him to.
