Dogs and Puppy Obedience Crate and Potty Training

Ever wondered why do animals have large expressive eyes? Animals are not given the facility of speech, but they are gifted with large, bulging and expressive eyes through which they speak love that is all unconditional. Dogs are the favourite animal for any human; you can see a pet dog in almost every home. Loving and obedient pets add grace to the house and relief to the inhabitants. So, let's learn how to train a dog.

Before we talk about dog training basics, there are some important things to be kept in mind while you go to buy a dog for yourself:-

Don't choose a dog that appears cute or funny to you. Once you pick it, you are going have a 15-18 yrs relationship with it. So, think about the level of activity in your life, and then pick the breed whose temperament and need for activity which matches your lifestyle.Give your dog a name that is not too long and fancy and sounds simple and easy. Spell out the name of the pet as often as you could and more while you train him or her.If you are training your dog, then do share the training methods and rules with other members of your family so that the commands remain consistent, and the pet doesn't get confused.

Communication and understanding with your pet is necessary otherwise the love and comfort will be lacking. So, pat your pet often and talk to him just like you talk to your friends. He may not understand you at first, but soon you will have forged a deep bond with your pet.

Dog Training Basics

Dogs and puppy obedience crate and potty training go hand in hand; fact is that crate is a mandatory tool for the potty training of dog.

Crate training is teaching your pet by being confined in a cage or kennel (known as crate) when he is not under your eyes. It also avoids him against his natural instincts of soiling where he sleeps. Dogs have a 'denning instinct' and so they feel safe and secure in small places; the pets enjoy sleeping inside the crates. When your pet is a puppy, keep the crate very small so that they could not relieve themselves in it. When they grow up, make a crate that is as bigr their size and is close to family. Train the pet by putting him in crate for few minutes several times a day and then let him out. Gradually increase the time, until he is assured of his sleeping place and that he will come out when in need to pee and poop or eat food.

Potty training needs consistency and regularity. After you get your dog perfectly crate trained, next comes keeping him on a good schedule. Take him out on regular trips and allow him a chance to release in his potty area. Know your pet that how frequently he will require the potty trip. Mostly dogs need to eliminate after they have their food; with time you will get to know their pees and poos habit. Every time as your dog releases, pat him lovingly, praise him and this will encourage him do the same on habit.

It is also important to let your dog know when he has done wrong. So, have a light stick with you all the time. You can roll a piece of newspaper and make a stick out of it. Strike on him lightly with this stick every time he misses the right step, and he will know that something has gone wrong.

The best advantage of keeping a dog is that with time you get to have an open heart full of love and compassion; increasingly you become empathic and receptive to love. So, have a pet and practice love and compassion with him which is little hard with humans. J

Does Your Dog Need Obedience Training?

Not too long ago, it was a given that the only way to properly train a dog was to, in effect, beat the dog into submission. It was thought that until the dog had been broken mentally, it would not be responsive to commands. Fortunately, this prehistoric thinking has been largely relegated to the past, but intelligent obedience training is still recommended for most dogs.

Anyone who owns a dog larger than they can comfortably pick up at need should provide obedience training. Smaller dogs can also benefit from training, but for dogs over 30 pounds it should be considered a necessity. Large dogs in the range of 50 or more pounds can cause serious problems - either to people or other pets.

Dogs have evolved from wild canines that live in a very structured society. Every wolf, coyote, or African hunting dog knows exactly where he or she stands in regard to the rest of the pack. This hierarchal structure keeps the group peaceful. As dogs have moved into human society, they have become part of a human pack, and must learn their place in each household.

Every living creature on earth has the desire to rise to the top, to become Number 1, and dogs are no exception. Without obedience training of some kind, most dogs will try to move to the alpha position in a home, taking over from the humans. The dog will protect the people, but it will also expect the humans to defer to it. This is a very undesirable situation that can lead to aggression not only to the immediate human pack, but to other humans as well. This is a potentially explosive situation when the dog involved is a large, strong breed such as German Shepherd.

The point of modern obedience training is not to produce a robot, but to help a dog understand its place in the home society, and to produce confidence. When obedience training is done with patience, positive reinforcement, understanding, and consistency, it will strengthen the bond between master and dog, and result in a dog that will be able to go more places and will probably remain in the home for its lifetime. Most dogs that wind up in shelters do so because their owners are unable to control them; these dogs often exhibit aggression.

A dog can receive obedience training either at home or in a class. Using a class for obedience training can be a good choice to provide socialization with other dogs and people. Shy dogs can often get over their shyness by participating in a group. Regularly scheduled sessions will help make sure that training continues, too.

The best time to start training is while the puppy is young, although obedience training an adult dog is relatively easy, too. The keywords to successful obedience training are positive reinforcement and patience. Hitting a puppy or dog when an incorrect response is given will result in a dog that develops fear of its owner. This dog is more likely to ignore commands in the future and may become neurotic.

When using positive reinforcement for obedience training, you will be rewarding good behavior with treats and praise and ignoring unwanted behavior. It does take longer for positive reinforcement training to take effect, but it is permanent, unlike training that has been conducted using fear and pain. Keep sessions short and if either you or the dog show signs of boredom or aggravation, stop immediately and do something else.

The dog's breed will have some bearing on how well obedience training goes. Certain breeds such as Border Collies and Labrador Retrievers are very easy to train, while other breeds, such as Pekingese and Dalmatian are more difficult. Difficult breeds to train are not necessarily unintelligent; in most cases they are simply stubborn.

Small dogs are often the most difficult to obedience train for several reasons: they are often very stubborn, and they consider themselves to be above such things. When our French Bulldogs were puppies, we tried to give them some basic obedience training simply as a safety measure. All three pups learned the basic come, sit, stay, almost immediately. Two or three repetitions were enough for them to master the commands. However, after they did master them, they all refused to do them anymore. If you told them to come, they would sit or lie down and a command to stay resulted in them tearing towards you.

Small dogs do have a different outlook than many larger breeds, and if you do decide you want to add one of these companions to your household, it would be best to accept that despite the dog's intelligence, it can be basically untrainable in some cases.
