Which dog owner won't feel proud of his disciplined dog? Reversely, who won't feel
ashamed of an unruly dog? It is very important for your dog to be absolutely
obedient to commands of his owner. You can't expect your dog to be obedient by
birth or nature. You have to take pains to make him understand obey your commands.

Obedience training to your dog can be imparted in many ways - two of the more
popular methods are typically carrot and stick methods. First method heavily
depends on the stick or punishment approach. Second method deals with the reward
system for the dog.

Leash and collar method of dog obedience training has survived for a long time now.
It is primitive but still mostly followed. The premises of this training method are
based here - leash will be the mode of communication with the dog. Dog must
understand the commands, and if not obeyed to, leash should be put to action. Using
leash alone is not sufficient - dog must be made aware of the good and bad
behavior. Once tracked on the path to bad behavior, dog can be punished with the
leash.

Reward system doesn't believe in punishing the dog. It follows psychological


approach to deal with dog training. Dog is made to know the good parts of behavior
and rewarded for the same. His ugly behavior is neglected in the form of
psychological treatment. The trainer or owner walks away from the dog immediately
after the show of bad behavior. Dog is an intelligent animal to understand the
difference between the bad and good behavior.

Whatever technique is used for dog obedience training, it is important to know that
the training must be consistent. Dogs get easily confused due to double standards
employed. If you expect your dog never to jump on the bed, never let or invite him
on the bed. Ensure that your dog never reaches the bed.

Obedience training starts on the fundamental issues like sitting, standing,


walking, listening to your commands & following those, sitting in the car, etc.

The dog owner can easily impart obedience training. You may find alternates to this
by getting your dog enrolled with some obedience classes or dog instructor.
Evaluate all the training techniques, methods, equipment, infrastructure,
experience, etc before taking the final decision on outside help. Remember, the
most ideal way will be yourself to be the instructor. Your dog will love it.
