Not making good use of all the dog training aids and tools you need can be abusive to you and your dog.
The well trained dog is normally quite proud and loves to show off his skills. Without a doubt a well trained dog will always be far more content and happier than his untrained counterpart. He has his jobs and responsibilities that allow him to secure his place within the family.
Dogs really want to know and understand exactly their place within the family. They derive a sense of security when allowed to display their ability to obey and perform the jobs they have been taught to do. They also know there is normally some reward for a job well done. The reward may be a treat or even simple praise from a family member. For the dog its the reward and not what the reward actually is.
Most dogs enter family life as puppies and in reality as puppies they are easier to train. Fortunately for us there are any number of dog training aids and tools to help us with the training. These aids and tools exist because when used properly they simply work. Like any tool or aid it is the users responsibility to learn the proper way to use the tool.
There is almost nothing that can be bought for a dog that with some thought cannot be used as an aid or tool to train your dog. Dogs are not unaware of what we do. Simply by picking up the dogs leash many dogs instantly become excited because it signals to the dog that he is about to become involved in some activities with his owner. This could be a particular toy or even a sweater in the winter time that the dog recognizes.
The dog can become very excited scampering around in circles and he may even jump up on his owner. The leash shouldn't be attached until the dog sits peacefully in front of you. The dog will learn that is a part of his job no matter his excitement. It is up to us as the dogs owner to consistently and constantly teach desirable behavior to our pets.
The dog training responsibility fall on us as owners and that is the only reason dog training courses exist. Dog obedience courses are for us humans not nearly so much for our dogs. Every new or prospective dog owner owes the dog a dog obedience course of some kind. There are right ways, wrong ways, and easier ways of doing things. That is what obedience schools try to teach and why so many people attend the courses.
The dreaded "H" word. Cage or crate training is one facet of traing that is an absolute must. That is house breaking. Not being house broken is the number one reason owners get crazy mad and frustrated w ith dogs. It is the number one reason many dogs end up being homeless, cowed and afraid of people in general.
Cage or crate training is my number one on the list of dog training aids to be used for house breaking. Crate or cage training is a tool everyone should learn to incorporate into a dogs education. Cage or crate training your dog makes sense. It is not cruel or any other derogatory term one could think of.
In a matter of a day or three with just a little help from us. Puppies and even mature dogs adjust readily and happily to having their own private and secure space. The cage trained dog always knows where he can go to rest or just be out of the way. For the dog his cage represents security, safety, a place that is his alone anytime he wants or needs it.
It is imperative for us the dogs owner to be certain, to learn and know the basics of how to housebreak and control our animals. Great dogs are not born they are made by owners who make the time it takes to make a dog great. The great thing is. There isn't anyone who cannot learn basic dog training.
