Dog Training - Important Reasons To Train
Your Dog Submitted By: Susan Richards On the surface, dog training
may look like a waste of time. Why train your dog to learn tricks?
What good are they? Your dog already knows the basics, so why
should you do more than that? Oh, sure, Joe's dog can play dead
and roll over. So, obviously Joe has far too much time on his
hands. Why bother? Well, primarily training beyond the basics
has three very good advantages; socialization, safety, and bonding.Socializing
your dog is simply the act of making him a pleasure to be around
for people and other dogs alike.
Who wants to be around a dog - especially
a large one - who jumps on everyone with whom he comes in contact?
If you have a dog that jumps, you may feel forced to resign him
to the backyard when company visits, which may in turn make an
annoying barker out of him as he feels left out of social gatherings.
But if you treat the problem by training him not to jump, you
will enable him to enjoy the company of others when they come
for a visit. You will be able to do things with him like go to
the park and walk in areas where there are other people and dogs.A
trained dog is a safer dog. One of a pet owner's biggest fears
is that
their beloved animal will one day get away
from during a walk and be hit by a car. Some very basic training
can give you a safety net in just such a situation. For instance,
imagine that your dog runs out the front door one morning and
you lose track of him. When you find him, he is on the other side
of a busy street, and his first impulse may be to bound happily
toward you at first sight. But if he is well-trained, you can
signal for him to sit and wait for you to come
leash him. Disaster averted.Aside from
those two very practical reasons to train your dog, however, there
is a third benefit that busy people sometimes overlook. Time spent
training your dog is time the two of you will spend together.
If you've ever built a model with your kid or fixed a computer
or baked a cake with a friend, you know that accomplishing a goal
with a loved one can be a valuable bonding experience. Dogs are
not immune to this. If you spend just a few minutes each day training
your dog, it will give both of you a sense of accomplishment and
bring you closer together.Certainly, a few nifty party tricks
aren't out of the question. Go ahead - see how far you can take
the training once you have the basics covered. Let your dog show
