Dog Obedience Training – how to home train your dog and make it an obedient pet.

Dogs are considered a man’s best friend and can be a wonderful pet, IF you can train it properly. A dog that has not gone through basic obedience training can sometimes be a pain and you’ll be left wondering if the dog is worth all the hassle that you have to go through.

Following are some basic commands that you would want to have in your pet pooch.

Heel – To walk by your side
Sit – The most basic of dog obedience training, to have the dog sit and not move until given permission to.
Stay – The second most essential word the dog should respond to after sit.
No – To be able to know when it is doing something wrong and to spot.
Go – Or any similar ‘release’ words that can be used to get the dog back into relax mode.

A dog that has been properly obedience trained will respond properly to your commands and help you communicate better with your dog to get a healthier relationship between it and you and your family.

There are 2 basic dog obedience training styles. The first uses the leash and collar and the 2nd is called the reward training style. Either one of these styles can be used to conduct dog obedience training out of the comfort of your home. Or you could read up on both styles, see which you prefer and then send your pet to a dog obedience training school which uses the style that you prefer.

Leash Training – Leash obedience training your dog is considered the more old fashion style and is mostly used for military training dogs. Usually with a leash based obedience training system, the dog is first taught a behavior with the leash. Once the dog displays that it knows the command, the leash is used to correct the dog for not obeying, or when the dog makes a mistake. Usually with this style of obedience training, the leash is the main form of controlling and communicating with the dog.
Reward training - Reward obedience training will incorporate food rewards or a reward that is in some way associated with getting food. Like a toy for example. Whenever your dog responds correctly to your command or instruction, it is given a reward or treat. Some people believe that reward training is the only way you can train complex types of dog behavior.
