Your dog is a very important part of your household and the
care that they receive is equally as important. Many pet owners
wonder if taking the time to put their dog through obedience
training is a good idea. There are many excellent benefits to
obedience training that will be beneficial to not only your dog
but you and your family as well.

Dog obedience training can be extremely important in
establishing a pack order in the household. This order should
be established as you, your family and then your dog. Since
dogs are pack animals the establishment of the order of the
pack goes a long way in helping them feel safe and secure. Your
dog needs to be one hundred percent aware that you are the top
dog of the household. If a dog is under the assumption that
they are the top dog of the pack it could lead to some serious
problems among the other members of your family, particularly
if there are children in your home.

Working with a qualified obedience trainer can assist a dog
owner in communicating better with their dog. All too often dog
owners think that their dog is stupid or just lazy because of
how they respond to the commands that they are given. A quality
dog trainer can assist dog owners in understanding better how
their dog takes direction thus making it clear what training
methods are most effective.

Studies have shown that a huge portion of dogs that are put to
sleep have not had any type of obedience training. Taking the
time to obedience train a dog can help ensure a happy and
healthy existence between a dog and their owner.

Having a well-trained dog can save its life. Should your dog
get away from you on a trip somewhere it being well trained can
stop it from running out into traffic for example.

A happy healthy well-trained dog can be taken just about
anywhere. You do not have to worry about sending a dog outside
when you have company over. You can take your dog for a walk
down the street without having to worry about them misbehaving.


So when you are trying to decide whether or not obedience
training would be a good option for the family dog keep in mind
all the benefits mentioned here. You will be happy that you did.
