Dog Training Advice- The 1 Dog Training Mistake You Should Avoid

Greetings Puppy and Dog Lovers! This is Allan with some dog training advice and I thank you for being the one who is training your dog. If you are not the one training your dog you really should be. Why? Because it is so much more fun, exciting, effective and cheaper than dog training classes or professional trainers. Some people consider dog training to be lessons for the dog. What they do not realize is that it is lessons for them as well. As the owner you are also learning a lot about your pup.

Dog Training Advice- Common Dog Training Pitfall

Here is what happens: John Smith gets his new doberman and names her Candy. He wants to train her so he looks for training methods. He follows a guide that states they have the one training method that will train any breed of dog. This is good right? WRONG! Huge mistake. Not good dog training advice. There is a lot of misinformation being spread about a one magic bullet training method that works for all dogs. There are over 400 breeds of dogs. There is no way that all these different personalities of dogs can respond to some one universal method. This just does not exist. Well, Sort of. Let me clarify.....
When you first start to train your dog, you should start with basic training. Now basic training methods are fundamental and can be applied to all dogs. These methods are just the general foundation that you build when training your dog and these methods apply to any and every dog. An example would be the positive reinforcement method. This is a fundamental method where you train your dog by praising and rewarding him or her with treats when they complete a task or display good behavior!

However the basic methods are just that the basics. They are not enough. In order to properly train your dog to be obedient, housebroken, well behaved around people and other dogs you need advance training methods that are specific to the type of dog that you have. For example a Dalmatian is considered one for the most aggressive dogs among all dog breeds. In order to control and subdue that aggression you need advance behavior training methods that work for dalmatians. Metho ds for say Labrador Retrievers would not be as effective since they are one of the most non-aggressive of dog breeds.

Please let this information marinate. I have many friends and family members that went and adopted a dog because they looked cute and then attempted to just train it with just basic training methods. Their dogs sit alright. But their furniture, shoes and pretty much anything in the household has been chewed on including the family and occasional visitors :o). So I hope you found this dog training advice useful! Take care and say hi to the pooch for me.
