ATTITUDE OF DOG TRAINING

How to train dogs has been a journey that began from primordial and nonstop to this day. I learn something new about training dogs through some author’s book and combined with groundwork experience. And this journey began as a hobby and has evolved into a life's appetite and work. There is nothing secretive or magical about training dogs. Good dog training is all common sense combined with a groundwork based experience.

 A combine of hours searching the internet to understand that there are a lot of people out there who lack experience or who are basing their training opinions on poorly attained experience.

Dog training does not begin when you buy a 6 week old puppy. 8 or 10 year old puppy bites a child. In deed it begins on the day you keep up your mind to learn how dogs think? And how they connected to the world they live in. It begins when you adopt to connect to your dog in a manner that both you and your dog honor and come to know. It begins when you make up your mind to develop a meaningful relationship based on confidence, communication and over check.

If one family had owned dogs their entire life they made this decision to really try and understand dogs as they owned a rescue dog.        

Every day morning we took puppy for walking we treat this dog as best friend and we should trained to hand signals and verbal commands. While walking unfortunate incident will be happened  in the road and that  should be keep in mind and handle good verbal command  and save the puppy from incident.

We should learn how to communicate in a way that our dog would listen in every scenario and not just in the ones it felt like.

 I have decided to write this article that thought in mind. I hope it may help dog owners create a new approach on how they relate to how to train their dogs. I hope in certain small way it makes you all change your own attitude of how to train your dog.

TYPES OF DOG TRAINERS:

The first TYPE of  CATEGORY  is the group of people who beg or bribe and give a thing that tempts or entices to  their dogs to do something by offering a food or toy reward. Don't get wrong, you use food and toys in training, but also use diversion and modifications. The people in this first category use neither.

In this difficult situation with this first type is that the dogs often select not do what's asked because they don't think the reward is not high enough in value to them. These dogs end up being pushy, dominant , powerful and often antisocial aggressive in nature animals. These dogs that are turned into animal shelters as being unmanageable when in fact they act the way they do as a result of ineffective dog training.

On the right side, is the second TYPE of CATEGORY  dog trainers who  COERCE  or INTIMIDATE  or FORCE  their dogs to do what they want .

They put a obstruct neck on a dog and force it to do everything. Most professional dog trainers use these methods because for them "time is money" and they can get a dog trained much quicker by forcing the dog to perform. The bottom line is with enough force a dog can be trained to do almost anything.

In fact laxer dogs are often afraid of their handlers. These are the dogs that fold their tails or lay on the ground when asked to do something. These are dogs that look nervous when they are near their owners. That's because they never know when the mallet is going to fall.

In this difficult situation with the both types of dog trainers is that their training produces contradictory results along with dogs that don't like or respect their owners. You will never reach firmness or solidity in training

 If you don't have a good bond with your dog, or if your dog does not respect you as a pack leader.
pack leader is someone a dog will respect and feel secure with. It does not mean my dog has to follow behind me or sleep on the floor. As long as my dog follows house rules, commands, shows understanding of what's expected of him as a family pet, I feel good about things. When he doesn't, then that means I've failed as pack leader and have some work to do.

The  third TYPE of CATEGORY dog trainer is who endeavor earnestly  to be. Third type of  dog trainers want to be in the middle of the other two categories. They balance in the middle but are always prepared to move one way or the other depending on what's going on in their dog training at a given moment or point in time.

The third type trainers uses motivational methods of food, toys or praise to take a dog through a learning phase. The most effective motivational method is called training with markers.  This is where the dog actually learns the meaning of a command – for example it learns the meaning of the word "COME."

Once the dog understands the meaning of the command the trainer then adds distractions to the program. A good example of this is a dog that has learned the meaning of the word "DOWN" but now must learn that "DOWN" means stay down until the handler gives a "RELEASE COMMAND". This means the dog must stay down even if the owner or someone else tosses a ball in front of the dog’s feet or drops a hot dog 4 feet from where he is lying.

If a dog is disobedient under distraction or does not follow directions this third type of dog trainers teaches a dog that there will be correction for being disobedient. The key here is that corrections are never given unless the owner 100% knows the dog understands what is being asked of him but refuses to follow the command.
