DogTraining
Dog training is a must for all dogs．It is more than justtelling your dog to stop doing what he’s doing；it isthe process of teaching a dog to exhibit certain desired behaviors in specificcircumstances．Proper dog training is not a “quickfix”—it is an ongoing process．
Dog training also involvesteaching the owner. Going through dog training is something that every dogowner should do．It is like going to school over again．It isall about communication，and you need to learn tocommunicate with your dog．
Training your dog to “sit” isprobably the first thing you will train your dog to do．When you want your dogto sit，hold a treat above his head and say “sit”．As the dog sits，say “sit” again and thenimmediately give him the treat．Your dog should dropinto a “sit” position in order to reach the food．
Teaching your dog to fetch promotes bonding．To do this，first throw a ball，and give the command“fetch”．As he starts to run towards it，yell “fetch” again．Instead of a ball，you may use the object your dog loves most．Donot play fetch with heavy items or sticks，however，as this can damage the dog’s teeth or injure the dog．
A well-trained dog should remain where hisowner commands，so “stay” is an important command in dog training as well．Since it is more involved，that will be thesubject of another article．
Dog training is a very physical activity，so beprepared to be tired．And dog training is never withoutrisk of injury，especially with more aggressive dogs．One major mistake many dog owners make is to think that the dogtraining is over．Training your dog continues throughoutyour dog’s life．
