Article Title: Dog Training Equipment For A Happy Obedient Dog
Author: Jeremy Wong
Training a dog is fun and also necessary. It is important to
create a good relationship between your dog and yourself.
Training should be enjoyable for you both. There are several
reasons to train your pet. First of all, your dog has to know
that you are the boss and he has to do what you say. A dog will
try to get away with other behavior but if you are firm, he will
learn. Secondly, it is important to teach your dog social skills
such as not jumping up on strangers, chasing cats or marking
their territory indoors.
It is easier to train a young puppy but possible to train an
older dog too. One handy item is a whistle. You can get normal
whistles and ones only audible to dogs. Noise-sensitive breeds,
such as Border Collies, will find these useful. You can get a
whistle for about five dollars. You could get a two tone
whistle, for teaching other skills or tricks.
You can get balls and dumbbells for a couple of dollars to
teach your dog how to retrieve on land or in the water. Another
piece of dog training equipment is a retractable leash. This is
useful for keeping the dog close or allowing him more freedom.
It is also useful to show controlled socialization between
puppies and young dogs.
You can buy something called a `pet corrector' from a pet
store, which is a pressurized canister full of air. When your
dog is misbehaving, you press the button and some air is let
out with a hissing sound. Animals do not like the sound because
it suggests a dangerous snake, insect or bird, so this is a
method of controlling excessive barking or bad behavior. You
have to be careful not to overuse this in case your dog is
upset by it. The dog will associate the bad sound with doing
something that displeases you and he should modify his
behavior.
You can find and purchase Dog training equipment from pet
stores, a veterinarian or a dog store online. If you browse the
internet, there are a number of websites offering various dog
training products, most of which are under ten dollars.
All dog training equipment should be kept clean at all times
and leashes can usually be washed in soapy water because they
will probably get mud or dirt on them at some point. A whistle
must be kept clean because it goes in your mouth. Balls and
rubber dumbbells can be washed and rinsed off afterwards.
If you want to put your dog in a show, dog training equipment
is a must. To win a show, a dog must demonstrate perfect
obedience and have been trained well beforehand.
Dog training equipment is useful but the most important thing
when it comes to training your pet is the way in which you
teach him. Be firm and clear. Confusing instructions will not
give great results. Praise him or reward him after doing
something right. Dogs are very intelligent creatures and can
learn easily if taught in the correct way. You will get a great
deal more enjoyment from your pet if he is well trained and your
relationship will be a lot stronger.
