Article Source: http://www.articlesbase.com/ – Will Obedience Training Solve Dog Problems? (Not Always)
Do you think obedience training is the most important key to having a well-behaved dog? If so, then you’re in for a surprise. If your dog is whining, barking, digging, peeing on the floor or doing any other unwanted behavior, simply using training techniques to stop the problem might not work.
This bad behavior is not always caused by them not knowing a certain training command. Many times, the problem is deeper. Let’s say your dog chews on your furniture. Well, you could use some sort of deterrent to keep your dog from chewing on it – or you could yell ‘no’ at your dog every time you see them chewing, but does that stop them from wanting/needing to chew? No. Most likely they are chewing on things because their teeth hurt. If you’re able to fix the reason their teeth hurt, you’ve fixed the problem. If you can’t fix the reason their teeth hurt (for example, if it’s a puppy that’s teething), then you can get some special teething toys for them to chew on instead.
Here’s another example. You dog is aggressive toward other dogs. You could use training techniques to get your dog to sit down when another dog comes by, rather than chasing after or barking at them. But this doesn’t actually solve the problem – it just treats the symptom. Your dog may have serious anxiety or other issues causing the aggression, and simply treating the symptoms does nothing to fix the actual problem.
What is the solution? Well, the most important thing is to make sure you take your dog to the veterinarian on a regular basis. You should especially take them in if they have a sudden change in behavior. The bad behavior may be caused by a medical problem.
Also, take some time to learn about dog psychology. It will be worth your time. You’ll be able to understand the ways in which your dog communicates with you, and can spot any symptoms of stress or anxiety. Since stress and anxiety are major causes of behavior problems, it’s a wise idea to know the symptoms and how to treat the issues.
You may be thinking I don’t believe dog obedience training is important, given the tone of this article so far. That’s not the case at all though. You should definitely make sure to teach your dog obedience commands. Just don’t rely on strictly using obedience commands when your dog is misbehaving, because there might be a deeper issue causing the problem. Never resort to just punishing your dog’s bad behavior either. Your dog needs rewards and praise.
Don’t give up on your dog. Bad behavior can be fixed with the right attitude and the right techniques. In the US alone, more than 9 million dogs are put to sleep each year. 65% of those are being killed because of behavior problems. Your dog doesn’t deserve to be one of them. He/she can be trained. If you don’t think you can do it on your own, get some help from a qualified dog behaviorist.

Dog barking can be extremely irritating, to say the least. Not only does it bother you, but it can bother your neighbors as well and get you in trouble with the law. But it’s a completely natural thing. You can’t stop a dog from barking. That’s what dogs do. They use barking to communicate, just as you and I use verbal communication. You can control their barking, however.

Will Obedience Training Solve Dog Problems? (Not Always)
Obedience training is very important, but it’s not the key to having a well-behaved dog. If your dog is chewing on things, barking, whining, jumping on people, digging, peeing on the floor, or exhibiting other unwanted behaviors, simply teaching them not to do these things may not work – because their behavior may be being triggered by something.

How To Raise A Well-Behaved Puppy
When it comes to getting and raising a puppy, there are a few crucial things you need to do so your puppy grows up to be a well-behaved dog. Too many people let their puppy get away with things because it’s ‘cute’ when they’re little. But they don’t think about the fact that they’re forming habits that will stay with them even as grown dogs, and when they’re grown, it’s not cute anymore.

When they come to live with us, we must teach them our language. Your dog is always learning. The problem is – how do you get your dog to learn good habits and NOT bad habits? Dogs understand things very differently to us humans, so frequently when you are training (or even when you think you are NOT training) your dog you are actually making behavior problems worse! When you see the world through your dog’s eyes you gain a huge advantage in training them to do what you want. When you understand how your dog thinks – and what he needs to know – the training program is easy to follow.

Dog Training – Getting Obedience and behavior in a dog park
I’ve had some email requests to see my dog in a dog park listening even though all the smells and other dogs may come up to him in there. I went to the dog park today, and asked someone to take the camera and shoot some video which I thought would be entertaining to listen to their feedback, since I knew they would not be familiar with the camera. Sometimes this can produce funny comments. In any case, here is me and “Nash” with no toys, collars, food, choke chains, pinch collars, electronic collars or any other training aid on the dog. This is very good random training in that the loose dogs make it a completely uncontrolled environment and your training has to maintain if you do not have the aids of leashes or cookies. This is good to do to see where your attentiveness in your dog is at. Of course the dog parks are also good to let the dogs play as well. A lot of the people around sometimes try and keep their dogs away because they think they will be disturbing my dog while he is training, but dog parks are there for the people to enjoy, and at Sit Means Sit dog training, we always welcome the distraction. www.sitmeanssit.com

Professional Dog Obedience Training – Dog Training in Harrisburg
A dog is a man’s best friend. However, true this might be, the fact always remains that dogs are after all wild animals, and training your beast in to a civilized pet is a very important task that you cannot ignore as a responsible dog owner. Dog training apparently might sound a very easy ‘do it yourself’ task, however, there comes a limitation on how well you can train your dog all by yourself. There are many dog obedience training professionals that can do this job for you, at a small cost.
You might be able to train your dog for routine tasks like following you, toilet training, playing games, etc, but living in a city will require more than this basic training. Formal dog training is quite important, for instance if you are taking your dog for a walk on the street, it needs to know how walk in a straight line with a leash around. You don’t want your dog scurrying around dragging you all over the park while scaring other commuters.
The other important aspect of dog training is the age of your pet. The age of a dog has a direct bearing on how much adaptive and receptive the dog remains to the training efforts and for his ‘trained-memory’. A young pup is considerably easier to train compared to an adult dog that is over a year or two. In case of adult dogs it might be almost impossible to train him on your own, and this is where professional dog obedience training will come in helpful.
Finding professional dog training has now become quite effortless with the internet. There are a number of dog training course websites that provide a complete package of different solutions for dog obedience training. No matter what city you are located, Harrisburg, York, Lancaster, or Dover Pa., you can easily find a dog training professional help right in your locality.
If you visit one of these dog training websites you will be amazed at the amount of informative resources you have at your disposal, and at no expense at all. You can find more information about the particular breed of your dog, its peculiarities, food habits, and all other such stuff that will come in handy when you maintain a pet in your house.
Typically, different training course are offered on these websites that are aimed at meeting different owner and pet dog requirements. For instance, training techniques and courses significantly are different for dogs of different breeds and age groups. The best part is that you can also do corrective behavioral changes for your dog using these training courses no matter how much you have spoiled your pet.

Effective Dog Training for Obedience
Dog training for obedience is a continuous process. Dog obedience training for obedience is basically a program that requires active involvement of both the owner and the dog. The whole dog training teaches them how to communicate with each other effectively. In case you do not know, dog training for obedience is vital to building a strong and close relationship with your dog. To achieve that, house training your dog is the most effective and quickest way to accelerate the dog training for obedience of your dog.
Proper dog training for obedience is built on the principle of proper and strict reinforcement of discipline. Dogs are naturally social creatures and are able to live in packs. As such, they are not loners and they are inclined to conform to social hierarchy or authority within the pack of dogs. Likewise, because of this, they are ready to listen and obey your commands. But dog obedience training is effective and easier for you if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, a lot of times, your dog training efforts become futile and counter-productive.
One common goal in dog training for obedience is to train your dog to respond to your command willingly and quickly every time you issue it. Dog obedience training is basically communication between you and your dog so that your dog understands how you want it to respond to you. At times, you will realize that training your dog is more about training yourself the owner. This is because your attitude, patience and effort towards dog training for obedience are so critical to the training success. One more tip for you is that dog training for obedience is an ongoing process.
The ideal dog obedience training method is using a consistent reward and punishment system as dogs respond well towards this especially when they are young puppies. Dog obedience training starts first with sit and come training. Make sure that it pays attention to your commands and not get distracted. Your dog needs to know that you are serious about the training and command. Do not merely threaten to punish it. Carry it out consistently so that he/she senses you are serious about the dog training session. The same goes for rewarding your dog for executing each command. Other basic dog obedience training techniques include training your dog to stay and keep down.
Dog training for obedience of course includes other more advanced commands such as off leash training. You will find a fair bit of information online. On top of these, you can find a good dog obedience training school for your pet. But be sure to use only Certified Pet Dog Trainers as they are professionally trained to handle most dogs.
Dog training for obedience is something you should begin from the very day your pet dog arrives at your doorstep. It is not something you can procrastinate or delay as your dog would quickly form its habits. It can become difficult down the road to change and correct any dog behavior problems like excessive barking, chewing etc as they stay longer at your home. Remember that dog obedience training is an excellent way of communicating and building friendship with your best friend. It also ensures he/she is under control and safe for the whole family.
Dog training for obedience need not be tedious and challenging. Find out more useful tips through the recommended websites at my dog obedience training website.
