Article Title: Give Your Child A Dog Training Book Before You
Give Him A Puppy
Author: John Mailer
My wife and I decided to surprise our son with a new puppy for
his 10th birthday a few weeks ago. He had been asking for a pet
for the longest time, but we didn't feel that he was ready to
handle the responsibility until now. One condition we placed on
adopting the puppy was that my son would be completely
responsible for the dog's care. He would have to take his puppy
for walks, play with it, feed it, make sure it had access to
fresh water, and train it. To help my son carry out his
responsibility, we also bought a couple of dog training books
for him to read.
After careful consideration, we decided that dog training books
would be a better option than obedience classes for a few
different reasons. For instance, we wanted our son to develop a
strong bond with his new pet and figured that using dog training
books instead of obedience classes would allow him to spend more
time with the puppy. In addition, our son would get a bigger
sense of accomplishment from teaching his puppy basic commands
through techniques learned in dog training books. He would be
doing everything on his own and could take full credit for the
way the animal turned out. And finally, we thought it would be
handy to have dog training books around the house for a quick
reference should any behavioral problems come up.
There were so many dog training books at the local bookstore
that it was pretty overwhelming trying to sort through all the
choices. I didn't really know anything about dogs, so had no
idea which trainers or methods were successful and which
weren't. Before making a purchase, it was imperative for me to
find out more about how to train dogs in general. So I went
online to do as much research as possible in the time I had
before my son's birthday. Once I had some good information to
work with, I felt comfortable enough to choose several dog
training books that were appropriate both for my son's age and
for the dog's breed. I also decided to buy a couple of the
trainer's aids recommended in the manuals, including a special
leash and collar.
As I said before, it's been a few weeks since we brought the
puppy home. I'm proud to say that my son has been holding up
his end of the bargain admirably and is really making progress
thanks to the tips and advice in the dog training books. We're
sure that he'll continue to do exceptionally well in teaching
his pet basic commands and more, and we're looking forward to
watching this new friendship blossom!
