Dog obedience training can be divided into several basic forms. The first and most important part of a dog's training is in the area of basic obedience. Dog training experts agree that most of the reasons contributing to your dog's desire to dig suggest their own solutions. If your dog's not getting enough exercise (generally speaking, at least forty-five minutes worth of vigorous walking per day), take him for more walks it will help you and your dog stay fit and healthy. Dog training does require some dedicated effort but the rewards are more than worth the investment. My current dog, Tuxcitto, is a 24/7 project since he is a Border Collie and full of vim and vigor.
Obedience training is also an easy way to establish the social hierarchy. When your dog obeys a simple request of 'come here, sit,' she is showing compliance and respect for you. Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Obedience training would have prevented many of these problems and can help solve the bad behaviors that exist. Many people think that obedience training is something that is done to a dog to make it perform some artificial activity on command.
Positive methods are very effective in helping you train your dog into a confident and well-behaved companion. We use lure-reward methods coupled with the use of an event marker - a click or the verbal marker "yes" - to achieve superior results. Positive training enhances the bond between dog and owner, and helps ensure that your dog will respond happily to your instructions.
