How To Choose The Right Dog Obedience Classes

By

Currently, pet owners have a variety of dog obedience classes to choose from. It is important to choose a course that fits both your needs and your dog’s personality. Each breed has its own temperament.

Suppose you own a Yorkshire Terrier, a timid little dog. You wouldn’t use the same corrective measures as you would with a stubborn Bull Terrier.

An obedience class is a fantastic way to build a bond with your animal. You and your pet can enjoy the time you have together each week when you leave your frustrations at the door.

Let’s consider some of the various classes on offer today.

Traditional Dog Obedience Training

Dog training that follows traditional methods started in the 1950s and involves the use of physical corrections.

As an example, suppose that you ask your dog to sit and he remains standing. To train dogs in traditional fashion, one gentle jerk on the leash is combined with a gentle push on the rear end simultaneously. The moment your dog obeys your command, he is immediately rewarded with a loving pat on the head followed by an enthusiastic “Good dog!”

Clicker Training

Clicker training involves conditioning in order to achieve a specific result. Consequently, your pet learns to respond better to a positive result rather than a negative consequence. When your dog obeys your command, a clicker will sound. As a result, the dog will associate his obedience with being pleasing to you.

Clicker training is popular with pet owners because it promotes interaction between pet and owner and is gentle to the animal.

Reward Obedience Training (Positive Reinforcement)

In a lot of ways, it’s like clicker training. However, instead of being rewarded with clicks, you give your pet food, a toy, or offer some other form of pleasure.

Reward training is fun, and every time your dog does well, you should pat him on the head and say: “Good Dog!”

Dog Whispering

Caesar Millan made this method popular on his TV show. Because this technique requires correction, some people do not like it. But its supporters claim it is strictly based on normal dog behavior.

Dog whispering works by learning your pet’s body language and behavior so you can then use it to correct their behavior with your own body language.

What’s an example? Take the case of two dogs. The aggressor is corrected by applying a clawed hand to their neck. But why? Simply because that is the way they were corrected by their mother.

Although dog whispering requires work, pet owners report that it can build a strong bond between themselves and their dogs.

If you’re looking for a way to keep your dog happy and safe, obedience classes are the perfect solution. Your pet wants nothing more than to please you, but in order to do that he needs guidance from his owner.

You can help both of you grow as a team by taking a class together so he’ll learn how to communicate with you and obey commands better. There’s no one-size-fits-all program when it comes to training dogs, so be sure to use this information to find dog obedience classes that fit both you and your furry companion.
