Bad Dog Training Tricks - How to Correct Bad Dog Behavior

Training a dog in obedience is not a simple task when the
dog's owner has not received proper training himself. The
majority of dog owners do not know how to train their dog
and expect the animal to think like humans, which lead to
quite a lot of disappointment. There are simple methods
that can be learned by reading obedience training books or
watching dog training DVDs in addition to attending dog
training classes with a qualified dog trainer, dog and
owner together.

The most important thing in training a dog is to use basic
communication that the dog has learned to understand and
obey. There are 5 basic commands accepted as standard in
English, that all dogs should respond to: sit, down, stay,
heel and come. The command words used are not important but
consistency in their use is. The same words in Spanish will
be understood by a dog that has been trained in the
corresponding language.

The purpose of training a dog is to have the animal behave
properly when around members of the family, invited
strangers and other pets. It is recommended to begin
training when the puppy arrives in its new home to correct
unwanted dog behavior and teach discipline. Basic training
classes with a professional trainer start with puppies of a
least 3 to 6 months old, and before that time, the owner
should prepare himself and read a few books on the subject.

Training a dog is all about good communication between the
dog and the owner. The dog has to understand and obey
simple commands while the handler has to interpret the
dog's signals when it is nervous, excited, confused or
happy. Obedience training is to train the dog, according to
the owner's perspective, what behaviors are good and which
are bad.

There are four signals used by dog trainers to communicate
with the dog:

- The reward signal for correct behavior, letting the dog
know it has earned a reward.
- The keep going signal for correct behavior, telling the
dog it has to carry on in order to get a reward.
- The no reward signal for incorrect behavior, to tell the
dog to try something new.
- The punishment signal for incorrect behavior, to tell the
dog it has earned a punishment.

These signals can be sent with simple words or with a
little mechanical clicker.

Obedience training is most of the time a short course of 6
to 10 weeks when the owner learns how to communicate and
train his animal with a few basic commands. Breeds like the
Doberman Pinscher or the German Shepherd are easier to
train than others with a minimum amount of time but all
dogs can be trained, even the most challenging.
