The Advantages
Modern day life is very busy and people do not find time for even
themselves. In this busy routine, it becomes very difficult to find time for
your dog but for a proper and concrete relationship with your dog, you must
spend some good amount of time and this time will not be wasted because it will
serve you for many future years when your dog will stay loyal with you and will
be a very good friend of yours. There are some special incentives associated
with dog training. Some people think that dogs can be tamed even without
training and that is true but that will keep your dog just an ordinary dog.
With proper training, it can learn and be your friend as well.
Training is Essential for Building Relationship
Some people think that training is to teach the dog some skills and
tricks but this is not the actual purpose and benefit of training instead
training is a very good and effective method to build a very understanding and
effective relationship with your dog. When you bring your dog at home, training
starts from very first day. Your dog watches your actions and he notices your
reactions to his gestures. He depends upon you for health, food, warmth and
other essentials. To make training effective and easier, you need to develop
trust and that too mutual trust. Your dog should trust you and you should trust
your dog for certain things. This trust also ensures that there is a certain
level of confidence in your and your dog’s relationship. This confidence should
be such that when you say “come”
then, you should be sure that your dog will come to you and your dog
should also know that if I go then, I will rewarded.
A relationship which is made on this trust and confidence is then needed
to be nourished and looked after. You need to know that dog is an animal after
all and you need to constantly remind him of all the tricks and skills. Some
people teach a certain skill for a week and then stop but this is not the right
idea as your dog will forget it. You should make it your daily habit to teach
something to your dog no matter how old that trick is but you need to keep
reminding him.
Training Can Make the Behavior Better
No matter what their breed is but these dogs will always have some
behavioral problems and you will need to correct those problems effectively
with training. Your dog can have the habit of barking at everyone who passes
by, digging your lawn, chewing your favorite pillow and many others but these
are natural animal habits and you need to make sure that your dog gets rid of
them as soon as possible. There is no other solution to altering these habits
but to train them. When you create a mutual trust and confidence bond then,
your dog will try to know that which of his actions are acceptable and which
are not. With proper and effective training, you can make sure that your dog
has no behavioral problem and even if he has any then, you rectify those
problems with training.
Training Can Make Him Intelligent
Dogs are very curious creature and when you expose those to new smells,
new tastes and similar other things then, they will always explore. This nature
of exploration can be turned into a very effective and useful skill but for
that you need to stimulate the dog’s intelligence. They are intelligent from
inside but you just need to invoke that intelligence and make them realize that
they can do lot more with those skills. You just need to think it from a dog’s
perspective that when he spends time with you in training then, he learns new
things explores lots of new stuff and is also rewarded with different treats.
Now why would he not pay attention to the training session? So you just need to
initiate a training program to spend time with your dog.
Training Gives a Sense Of Acceptance
To Dog
There is this nature of dogs that they try and build their packs and live
accordingly. They try to find that atmosphere in the house too. You need to
know that in your house, you may be a master trainer but everyone else should
also participate in that training and should pay some attention to the dog.
This constant attention from the whole family gives dog a sense of acceptance
and he starts to take this family as his pack.
Consistency is the key and if all of your family members are taking part
in dog’s training then, they must ensure that they all use same methods because
if all of them tried different methods then, this will create confusion in
dog’s mind and he will suffer from frustration which can lead to some negative
results.
Proper Training Can Save Your Time
Another huge benefit of your dog training is that it can save you lots of
your time in future. It is just like an investment which can give you benefits
in future. If you can train your dog effectively and control his bad habits
then, you will be saved from cleaning up all of his mess which he can create in
future. Some people say that they cannot find that much time every day for
their dog’s training but you should know that you do not need many hours every
day for your dog training instead you merely need one or half an hour of your
daily time for this training.
In fact if you cannot find consecutive one or half hour then, you can
break this training in smaller sessions like 4 sessions of 10-15 minutes. This
strategy is more effective as well as more convenient for almost everyone who
has shortage of time.
With all of the above benefits, you must initiate a proper dog training
program as soon as possible and make sure that you are building a responsible
and friendly relationship with your dog which will last for many coming years.
