Is Dog Training Necessary?


by Francisco Javier Cabrera Rosello

Dog training is an Art not a science. Many trainers and facilities develop a training method. Dogs will always be dogs and humans will continually try to make their dog into a furry person. Dog Training is just as important as feeding and watering. That 5lb adorable, cute, huggable, kissable, loveable puppy, could turn into a 60lb nightmare if not shown the proper guidance.

Dog training is a tremendously rewarding career. One should remember first of all that, for the most part, training is a “service” profession and that one is usually working with people who happen to have dogs. Dog training is more than just telling your dog to stop doing what he’s doing, it is the process of teaching a dog to exhibit certain desired dog behaviour in specific circumstances. Proper dog training is not a “quick fix” - it is an ongoing, life-long process.

Dog training isn’t necessarily a hard work but it is a process which needs a big deal of patience as well as the ability to see which types of education techniques are most efficient for the particular dog you’re training. There are a number of different methods which can be used to educate a dog.

One of the main needs for dog training is aggression. Aggression related dog behaviour problems include biting, jumping, barking uncontrollably and not obeying commands. Once a dog ages from a puppy to an adult, it will become much harder to train. Aggression includes any behaviour that is meant to intimidate or harm another animal or person. Snarling, snapping, barking and growling are all examples of aggression.

Obedience training may prevent many of these problems and can help solve the bad conducts that exist. Many people believe that obedience training is something that is done to a dog to make it perform some artificial activity on command. Obedience is a part of the cultural setting defined for your dog in your house. Obedience is about you having a family relationship with your dog and the dog answering to you. It doesn’t matter if the dog trainer can train your dog; what matters is that the dog reacts to your commands.

The process of training a dog is something we do with our dogs not to our dogs. Both you and your dog will love the reward-based training ways you will learn jointly. Dog training is unquestionably not rocket science and is easier than you would anticipate particularly if you can get help from a expert dog training book or guide. Maybe the most crucial point with dog training is to keep a level head.

Dog training is supposed to be a fun process, believe it or not.

Dog training is critical to teach a dog what is acceptable and what isn’t. A dog that hasn’t received any directions or limitations can’t know what is to be expected of her. Both you and your dog will love the reward-based training techniques you will learn together.

Obedience is more than just directions - when taught correctly; it gets the common nomenclature between you and your dog. It changes your relationship from one of frustration, to one of harmony.

Have fun with your pet-friend!
