Dog training can be a complex process or a rather simple one depending on a number of different factors. This is because some dogs are simply much easier to train than others. For these easy to train dogs the training process may be rather simple and straightforward. However, for more difficult to train dogs, the training process may be more complex and may require significantly more time, energy and patience on behalf of the trainer, the dog owner and even the dog, to a certain extent. There are some basic tips which can be useful in any dog training situation as well as some tips which can be useful in specific training situations. This article will outline some of the basic dog training tips which can be useful in any situation as well as a few tips which might be useful in specific scenarios.
Being consistent is one of the simplest but also the most useful tip for training a dog. Consistency is critical during the process of training a dog because a lack of consistency can not only delay the training process but can also be detrimental to the process because it can result in the dog becoming confused. Consider a situation in which a dog owner is attempting to teach a dog not to jump up on people when saying hello. In this specific training scenario, it must never be acceptable for a dog to jump up on either the owner or a visitor. For example, the dog owner should not allow the dog to jump up on him and then expect the dog to understand he is not allowed to jump up on other visitors to the home. This is far too confusing and can derail any of the training the owner is doing to teach the dog that it is not appropriate to jump up on people to say hello. This is also often a problem when dog owners allow puppies to jump up on people and as the puppy matures and grows in size, they no longer think it is cute to have the puppy jumping up on guests. Unfortunately in this situation the owner may have to retrain the dog to not jump up. This type of problem can be avoided by deciding early on whether or not this type of behavior will be accepted and taking a consistent training standpoint from early on in the puppy’s life.
Having patience is another great tip for training dogs. Patience is very important because the process of training a puppy or dog can be very frustrating at times. Even dogs that are easy to train may present some frustration during the training process with the training of specific behaviors. For example many dogs easily learn to sit and stay but may have more difficulty learning to lie down on command. This can make the owner feel frustrated because the other behaviors were learned with greater ease. Potty training is another behavior that can also frustrate some dog owners, especially owners of small breed dogs, because this can be a long and complicated process. However, in these training situations, patience is highly recommended because it is important for the dog owner to realize these behaviors can be difficult to train. Owners who exhibit patience with the dog rather than giving up easily are more likely to be successful in training the desired behavior.
Knowing when to seek professional help when attempting to train your dog is another very important training tip. Professional help may come in the form of consulting books, online resources and other training materials or seeking the assistance of a professional dog trainer. Ideally any dog owner who is attempting to train his dog on his own either has personal experience with the process of training a dog or has done a great deal of research to establish an adequate training plan before attempting to train the dog. This is very important because a lack of training techniques as well as misguided training techniques can both be detrimental during the process of training a dog. Dog owners who have experience and a knowledge base about training techniques can certainly attempt to train a dog but should be cognizant of whether or not the training techniques are working or professional training is necessary. Additionally a dog owner should also understand the assistance of a professional dog trainer is likely necessary if the dog owner does not have the ability to train a dog on his own. The assistance of a professional dog trainer may also be necessary in specific training situations such as in the case of an aggressive dog, a reactive dog or a timid dog.
Another useful tip for training a dog which is useful in a specific training situation involves the training of young puppies. In these cases it is usually necessary to keep training sessions very short. Most puppies have very short attention spans and are not capable of participating in long training sessions with any degree of success. In these cases it is recommended to keep training sessions limited to short periods of 10-15 minutes. After this time it is worthwhile to take a short break for playtime before resuming training activities. While it is important to keep tr
By finding your nearest Schutzhund trainer and scheduling an appointment to see if the dog you have is even acceptable for the work.
You do not train “good guard dogs” at home. It takes a professional to tell which dog is best for this kind of work (not all dogs will be), and it takes a professional to teach them proper bite control. A home-trained dog is generally a liability.
Have you ever even owned dogs before? You will need to work with the trainer either way, but more so if you have not. Dogs that are trained to or are in training to be a guard dog are powerful and can be dangerous. Please be sure you can physically AND mentally handle the responsibility.
PS – It is not considered “cool” to own a dog that is aggressive or otherwise dangerous, no mater what your “buddies” may say. It is not “cool” to teach a dog to bite on command (especially without knowing what you are doing.)
PPS – Those dogs you see out in junkyards are NOT proper guard dogs, they are undersocialized aggressive animals that will eventually be put down.
PPPS – A “properly trained guard dog” will only bite if the situation calls for it (yet another thing only a professional with years of experience can teach.) They will only bite if told or threatened; and if you tell them to bite when a “burglar” or other kind of “bad guy” has surrendered you WILL get in trouble for it.
Only a Dobermann or other breed typically used for guard/protection work, bred with health, stability, function and the breed standard in mind would be a potential candidate to be trained as a protection/guard dog.
Guard/protection work is the function for which the breed was originally bred. However, the average pet Dobermann would in all likelihood bark an alarm, but when faced with an attack would either defend itself or take flight.
If an inexperienced owner fails to train and control a working breed like a Dobermann dog, there is the potential for disaster {usually for the dog} and a lawsuit for the owner. It’s the people who fail to undertake research before they purchase and therefore don’t appreciate the requirements of the breed, who contribute considerably to the breeds like the Dobermann, Rottweiler, GSD’s bad reputation.
If you are interested in having a working breed dog trained by a professional dog trainer, first you will need a stable, healthy dog, with the temperament & drive to be trained as a protection dog. In addition you will need the money to purchase & pay for the dog to be trained. A fairly expensive undertaking.
An inexperienced dog trainer trying to train a dog to bite on command, is a lawsuit waiting to happen & the dog could be euthanized.
