Book Description
Have you ever thought that some dogs are obedient and well-behaved while others are defiant and mischievous? Leadership and structure are two things that are essential to the well-being of humans and their canine companions. You can help your dog grow into a well-behaved member of your family that's happy to be there by providing a training program that is both consistent and rewarding. As the dog owner, you significantly impact how your dog will act because you influence its behavior. Your dog's training should start while they are still a puppy and should be maintained throughout their lifetime. It is crucial to remember that each dog is an individual; consequently, the training program you use should be modified to your dog's specific demands and needs. Training your dog is something you should do because you're a responsible dog owner. Training should ultimately lead to a strong relationship between you and your dog. Both sides should possess a level of trust, respect, and understanding that serves as the basis for this relationship. You and your dog will enjoy training more if you make an effort to make it a positive and gratifying experience for both of you. This might make training more enjoyable overall. When you teach your dog, you are not just training them obedience commands; you are also working to alter your dog's behavior in general. Instructing your dog how to conduct itself in various environments and circumstances is essential to this procedure. This includes teaching them how to interact with people and other animals while behaving at home and in public spaces. It also includes teaching them how to act with other animals. In addition, they will be taught proper conduct while in the company of other animals. A dog who has been given the appropriate training is more enjoyable around the home, reduces the danger of injury, and is a more responsible companion overall.
