Dog Obedience Training

Dogs are wonderful companions. They are cute when they are puppies, and they usually grow to big companions, who always makes you feel special. But sometimes they grow up, they develop habits that are annoying them less than desirable as family members.

Consistent or excessive barking and jumping on people to lead the list, especially in areas where people live close together or when traveling. A barking dog can be the most annoying in a crowded RV park. Normally it is not to blame the dog, but a lack of education. These are habits that can easily be corrected.

The best way to control excessive barking and jumping with a dog obedience training. The problem is that dog training time and patience. Two things most of us have not much. Training a dog is a behavior change project requires commitment, time and patience, and will not immediately result. A good source of information for a hassle-free dog is your vet.

There are many products on the market that can provide immediate solutions to control excessive barking. Are most likely to attempt to ultrasound equipment or electronic dog collars that shock or unpleasant spray deduce when the dog barks.

Unfortunately, collars and sprays also prevent the dog from barking when it should. Reviews show that ultrasonic and spray systems do not work for most dogs. Probably because they pay no attention to distraction when their attention is focused on something else. Electronic collars that shock can be more successful and immediate results, but some people object to giving their beloved dog an electric shock.

We teach our dogs learn to jump on people at an early age. If a small dog, he would come running and jumping over the leg, would you pet him or pick. By the time you'll learn him that it was good to jump on people. He loved to be picked up and adored attention and petting and he learned that lesson very quickly, and held it like it is bigger and stronger. Dogs get excited when new people or someone they have not seen in a while and one of the ways they show that the jump to see. What's good for a puppy might not be good for an adult dog.

How you respond will determine if your dog jumps this undesirable behavior remains. Training takes a strong commitment, consistency and patience in dealing with the problem. You have to make clear to the dog to jump on someone who is not acceptable. If you do not take the time to correct the behavior, he will not hesitate to jump when he wants.

Most coaches I've talked to or seen seem to feel that the most effective way to stop unwanted bounce is to ignore him when he jumps. Try not to scream or a real fix, just try to ignore the problem. It seems that dogs understand body language better than the spoken word. So if your back on the dog or ignore it will have a greater effect than all the yelling in the world. Reward the dog when it is something good, nice to his feet when he jumps to the ground does. You can have an end to this cycle of ignoring the jump and reward him to get his feet on the ground a few times and repeat for a few days before he finally gets the message and behavior change for the better.

I know from experience that training a dog can be a frustrating experience. We have to correct too much barking, jumping, digging and chewing, leash training and education of our dogs and just how socially acceptable.
