How To Train A Dog - The Right Way

There are many theories and so much conflicting advice regarding the various ways to train our dogs - it's hard to know who to trust and what to believe.

This is what we consider to be crucial, and always strive for when training our own dogs:

	Build a strong owner-dog relationship
	Work with your dogs natural drives and instincts
	To have happy, outgoing dogs that are properly socialized
	No cruelty or harsh "old school" training techniques - Don't break your dog's spirit

Professional dog trainers train the master so they can train their dogs. So why should you pay hundreds of dollars to have someone train you and your dog? You have to commit your time to fit his schedule and spend hundreds of dollars to boot. It is true that you have to learn the right things to say and how to say them....But you don't have to hire a professional trainer to do that! You can do it better & faster!

There are multiple meanings to the term "training." It's important to understand that when deciding what you need to do with your dog. Here are the distinctions:

First, there is "behavior training." This is the kind of basic dog training in which a dog is taught to be a obedient dog. This includes housetraining, good behavior around other people and dogs, reasonable leash manners and things that make a dog a much more pleasant companion. A well behaved dog attracts no special notice from the public.

There is "obedience training," which is teaching the dog how to perform specific activities. This can include traditional "obedience" exercises such as sitting or heeling. The emphasis here is on prompt and precise performance experience. Since there can be many overall benefits to this training, the training is usually for the training's sake and not necessarily to improve the dog's behavior. Dogs that have been obedience trained will perform specific tasks when their owners ask them to do so, some obedience trained dogs may well behave poorly; an excellent herding dog that barks quite a bit for no apparent reason would be an example.

"Activity training" refers to training for specific activities -- this includes hunting, herding, Search and Rescue, lure coursing -- any of a myriad number of activities designed to showcase the abilities of the dog and his handler. .

For many dog owners, the behavior oriented classes are the best way to learn how to understand and control your dog. For those of you who want to enjoy a sport or compete in an activity with your dog will need to move along to more complex training. You need to be aware of whether your dog needs behavior modification (where you will have to find out the underlying reason why your dog digs and not just put chicken wire over everything) or obedience training (to understand commands). Certainly, the two may be related: a dog that digs because it is bored may become less bored with obedience training and stop digging. It is important, however, to understand that the dog stopped digging because it was no longer bored than because it now knows how to heel. You will need to modify your approach, or select a trainer to help you, with behavior vs. training in mind. So much for the type of things being taught... another factor to consider is that there are many methods for teaching any of these!
