TRAINING - BEHAVIOR
Too many people think dog training is optional, and we see the results as they return those very same dogs to adoption groups or animal shelters as “uncontrollable.”
Obedience classes offer many benefits to dogs and their owners, including the following:
Obedience training encourages the bond between person and dog.
This bond is developed as the new owner and dog work closely together during the classes and at home. It is this bond which creates that undying desire to love, serve, and protect for which dogs are so coveted.
Obedience training increases your dog’s confidence dramatically.
Think about it: your dog is challenged to think and is praised lavishly along the way. That would work wonders for anyone!
Obedience training provides a valuable resource for you.
The class and the trainer are invaluable resources in helping you solve behavioral problems. Obedience training helps you determine where your personal and family limits will be set, and helps you to effectively enforce these limits.'
Obedience training teaches your dog basic social skills.
You want your dog to be free to accompany you to family picnics, to work, etc. The only way for both of you to be welcome is good manners, and your dog's are as important as yours.
Obedience training aids in protecting your dog's safety.
If your dog begins to run in front of a car, you yell "stay" and the dog does--you've just saved a life. To have a dog who will react in a calm, well-behaved, obedient manner under any circumstance is invaluable and will relieve you of much stress.
A well-trained dog is a pleasure to have around; a poorly trained dog is annoying, dangerous, and expensive.
Low-cost obedience classes are available through large pet supply stores or city recreation programs. Often these classes run as low as $70 to $80 for 6 to 8 weeks of training. Until you enroll in one of these classes, here are some tips to help you get started.
