Training a dog in obedience is very important to the bond between owner and dog. It’s for the reason that it makes it easy to communicate with your dog, therefore allowing you to instantly get rid of any behavioral problem. In addition, dogs being inherently loyal, jump at any chance to satisfy their master, submission to your commands is one of them. This also makes walks and playtime more pleasant, and you have more influence when he/she is interacting with or meeting new people. The joy a properly obedience trained dog brings is endless. There are a lot of methods to obedience train your dog, like dog whispering, clicker training, leash and collar training, positive reinforcement, and more.

As you go about obedience training your dog, it is essential to be aware of the basics about how dogs think and what is the  best way to communicate with them. That will make the procedure easier, and will be very beneficial to both you and your dog. Here are some of the fundamental guiding principles for successful dog obedience training.

* You must have patience, since all dogs learn in a different way. Totally learn 1 instruction at a time, then go on to the next command.

* Discipline your dog ONLY when you discover him in the act of unwanted behavior, or else he will not recognize what he is being punished for. Timing is extremely important.

* Make training sessions last for a couple minutes daily, maybe ten to twenty minutes, not too long, and make them short, fun, and specific.

* Try out your training commands intermittently in situations and places that are different than his training area.

* Remember to reward  and praise your dog each time he completes the correct action, that helps him comprehend that you are happy with his actions.

* Find out what gets your dog animated, knowing this is vital when trying to train a dog.

* Make certain that your family is on the project with you regarding the dog’s training. You want a consistent and clear communication being given to your dog continuously.

I am adopting a gorgeous 1 year old submissive female Rottweiler. Lucky for me her foster parent has already taught her basic obedience. But I still want to get the point of view of others, on training and caring for such a big powerful dog. I would like to hear from other responsible dog owners.

Rachel-PitPolice-Spay the Humans asked:


Sure, certain forms of aggression are manageable. I personally have seen proper obedience and discipline aid in curbing animal aggressive and possession aggressive behaviors. However, I feel that HUMAN aggression is one thing that should not be messed with, and that any human aggressive dog should be destroyed, for both the owner’s protection, and the dog’s sake.

Why is it that people suggest training for human aggressive dogs? Am I naive? Or are they?

I have been mentoring for 6 years with a dog trainer who has been teaching and training dogs for forty years and I still have a lot to learn. My mentor has so much knowledge(judges, teaches, knows all the AKC rules and standards and runs obedience programs) but still does not claim to be an expert. I do not understand why with all of the aggression problems and behavioral problems that we see in dogs today why a test or at least some kind of formal education is not required before someone can label themselves a trainer. I think it is crazy that one can just order a correspondence course and in under 6 months brag of certification as a dog trainer.
I only ask because I was at a petsmart and a woman was there trying to get her dog to sit. The dog (not a puppy)was jumping up on people as they walked by(scratched a little girl in the face) and all she did was to repeat sit, sit, sit, so I got tired of watching and I told her that if she wanted the dog to listen to her she needed to give the command once and if he did not do it to help him do it with a pop on the collar and a push on the rump. Well you would have thought I told her to beat the dog, she told me her trainer(petsmart employee) who has been training her dog for six months does not recommend such harsh methods, they use positive reinforcement only and that most people frown on abuse. All I could say is good luck and tell her I hope next time your dog hurts somebody”s child due to your lack of control they do not hurt your dog or you.

Having a dog is an amazing thing. It has a lot of benefits and a dog is like a human being or even better, offering you affection, enjoyment and last but not least fun. Well, this is the case with well trained dogs. In order to have a good companionship, you must perform dog obedience training and teach your dog the basics and the things that you expect from it to do and not to do.

What is dog obedience training? Well, it is a technique to train your dog by imposing yourself as its leader. There are several dog obedience training techniques, you can choose whichever suits you and your dog most. The bottom line of such dog obedience training is to set a common language that both you and your dog understand and make your pet behave acceptably. One of these techniques is the collar or leash training. This is a hard technique. There is also a soft training technique and this is the reward training.

The collar or leash dog obedience training is less popular today, but has an important role when it comes to certain breeds of dogs that cannot be trained by using the reward method. The collar technique can have multiple degrees from soft pulls of the collar to stronger correction. The collar or the leash is the way you communicate with your dog. In other words, the leash is the common language for you and your pet. You use it to show your dog if it behaves ok or not. You can easily have control over the dog with the help of a collar or a leash and the dog needs to know that you can handle each situation and that you are the master.

The reward dog obedience training is considered to be the trendiest technique and is being used successfully by many animal trainers. Some trainers agree that reward training brings some of the best results when it comes to dog behavior. The basic thing about reward training is to teach a few common commands to your pet and make them give you the response you are looking for by manipulating some rewards. You must not think that rewards only consist of treats and that at the end of such a training your dog will become obese because of the many treats. The reward is not necessarily a treat: it can be a verbal appraisal, a pat or a positive reaction that you show your dog who has learned to be always willing to please you. You can say GOOD or use the clicker and your dog will know it has done a good job. Don’t try to teach your dog all in a week. Remember that you have to take one step at a time with this dog obedience training technique. Otherwise you might confuse your dog and not get any response at all.

All in all, the dog obedience training is a diverse means of making your dog be a good friend that will not let you down with inappropriate behavior. Choose a dog obedience training technique that you like and start right now.

Willalee asked:


I used to show my mom’s dogs growing up and have training experience for obedience and show, as well as Shutzhund training.

I thought it would be fun to use those skills to begin training dogs for people that need them.

Does anyone know how to do this – or how to become a trainer?
