Title: A Well Trained Dog

A Well Trained Dog
Dog Quote: Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know
evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a
hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden,
where doing nothing was not boring .... It was peace.
....Milan Kundera
Is certainly a lot more fun for you to have an obedient and
trained dog. Not only that, but trained dogs, are happier
dogs. They are less likely to get into fights with other
dogs and will tend to socialize better with dogs that they
meet in public. It is particularly important to have a
well-trained dog if you have young members of the family or
children in the neighborhood. Just like having well-behaved
children, a well-trained dog makes for a happier household.
The time that you spend training your puppy initially will
impact on the pleasure you can get from your dog for the
many years of its life.
Taking the time to train your dog will strengthen the bond
you have together and this will ensure a long and happy
friendship where both you and your dog benefit. Considering
the amount of time that you will be with your dog the time
involved in training is minimal and well worthwhile.
There are a few basic commands that need to be mastered and
they are all relatively simple. These commands are... Down:
this is where you teach your dog to lay down on command,
and is one of the main aspects of any successful training
program. Heel: this is where you teach your dog walk beside
you at the same pace without pulling on the lead. Learning
the 'No' word: this is a particularly important word for
your dog to know and can save you a lot of trouble. In fact
it is probably one of the most important aspects of
training, if you can get your dog to understand and respond
to the word no. It can certainly save you a lot of trouble
in the future. Sit: sit is one of the most basic of all dog
training commands and is one that you'll want to teach from
the outset to maintain control of your dog's behavior.
Stay: and finally 'stay' - this is important to ensure that
no matter where you are, you'll know that your dog will
stay precisely where you want it.
If there is nothing else that you train your dog to do
beyond these basic commands, it will certainly improve the
relationship you have with your dog and the enjoyment and
happiness that you and your dog will have together. It is
well worth the time while still a puppy, as it will improve
the quality of life for many years to come.
Training will also let your dog know that you're the boss
and in doing so eliminate many behavior problems. Dogs that
are untrained can often get depressed, despondent, and
unhappy and display symptoms of anxiety and confusion. You
are actually giving your dog a purpose in life, where they
will get pleasure out of the fact that they are pleasing
you.
