something about dog training :)

Man’s best friend, yes they are. Commonly found at homes, dogs can be relied upon and trusted by their owners from simple chores to rescuing lives. Seemingly, they ought to be treated right, given with proper care, love and concern. Well brought-up dogs are endowed with the appropriate management that they need. It is substantial that there is a good relationship between the dog and owner. Otherwise, the one that is well thought-out to be man’s best friend would happen to be one’s most horrifying enemy.

Well-adjusted dogs are safe to be with at one’s private residence. In contrast, dogs with outrageous behavior and doesn’t know how to obey his master’s commands would end up being a nuisance to the public, even threatens those that are in one’s home, in the streets and to other dogs as well. Dogs do not figure out basic obedience on their own; they must be trained.
Obedience plays a big part in the dog and owner relationship. They do have a pack mentality, which means, they simply follow a leader; it is now then important that the dog knows who his master is. It is of high regard that the dog recognizes the status of their relationship with his owner. Basically, this is part of a responsible dog ownership.
Dog training is the process of teaching a dog to carry out certain actions in response to definite commands which the dog is trained to understand. They may be trained to go after obedience commands, execute tricks casually or for circus acts, be a guide dog to lead the blind, be a rescue dog to find victims of a disaster, be a hunting dog to aid in hunting, aid in herding, tracking, coursing, and retrieving, follow agility commands, and serve as a guard animal.
True that the hardest part of training is communicating with the dog in a humane way that he understands. They need to be showered with affection and importance but not comes to a point that the owner loses his sight of being the dog’s master. Dogs call for reward with their desired behavior but their undesired manners should not be tolerated but instead corrected.
Trained dogs would ensure confidence to the owner that given with a definite situation; the master is aware how his pet would respond. There are certain professional dog trainers that will help to make better a dog’s behavior. They train the dog’s guardian to train his dog. To be most effectual, the guardian must bring into play and reinforce the techniques being taught to the dog. Guardians and dogs who attend class together have an opportunity to learn more about each other and how to work mutually under a trainer's supervision. Training is most effective if all those who handle the dog engage in the training to ensure consistent commands, methods, and enforcement. Classes also help socialize a dog to other people and dogs. Training classes are offered by many kennels, pet stores, and independent trainers.
Having a pet dog is not only about nourishing him with a healthy diet, exercising him and providing for his other basic needs. A dog needs to be mentally fit, and trained to know his role in the world.
