Dog Quote: Dogs are our link to paradise.
They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent.

To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring …. It was peace.

  ….Milan Kundera

THE PLEASURES OF A WELL-TRAINED DOG

It’s certainly a lot more fun for you to have an obedient and well-trained dog.  Not only that, but trained dogs are happier dogs.  They are less likely to get into fights with other dogs and will tend to socialize better with dogs that they meet in public.  It is particularly important to have a well-trained dog if you have young members of the family or children in the neighborhood.

Just like having well-behaved children, a well-trained dog makes for a happier household.  The time that you spend training your puppy initially will impact on the pleasure you can get from your dog for the many years of its life.

Taking the time to train your puppy will strengthen the bond you have together and will ensure a long and happy friendship between you and your dog.

Considering the amount of time that you will be with your dog, the time involved in training is minimal and well worthwhile.

There are a few basic commands that need to be mastered and they are all relatively simple.  These commands are…

Down:

Teaching your dog to lie down on command is one of the main aspects of any successful training program.

Heel:

Teaching your dog  to walk beside you at the same pace without pulling on the lead.

Learning the “No” word:

A particularly important word for your dog to know and can save you a lot of trouble.  In fact, it is probably one of the most important aspects of training.   If you can get your dog to understand and respond to the word “No”, it can certainly save you a lot of trouble in the future.

Sit:

“Sit”  is one of the basic dog training commands you will want to teach from the outset in order to maintain control of your dog’s behavior.

Stay: “Stay”

 

This command is important to ensure that no matter where you are, you’ll know that your dog will stay precisely where you want it.

If there is nothing else that you train your dog to do beyond these basic commands,  the relationship you have with your dog and the enjoyment and happiness that you and your dog will have together will be greatly improved. It is well worth the time while still a puppy, as it will improve the quality of life for many years to come.

Training will also let your dog know that you are the boss.  In doing so,  many behavior problems can be eliminated.  Dogs that are untrained can often get depressed, despondent, and unhappy,  and occasionally will display symptoms of anxiety and confusion.

By giving your dog this training,  you are actually providing your dog a purpose in life, during which they will get pleasure from the fact they are pleasing you.

It’s easy with the right information.
