Your Dog and Training is Easier Than You Think!

Your dog's behavior is a reflection of you

A dog is as good as its owner has taught it.

Family friends of mine have a German Shepherd and as they are an elderly couple they weren't quite so inclined to train their dog when it was young.

After a while of disobedience they decided to take this dog to a dog training school but as would be expected from a dog that has never had any training from a puppy the dog didn't like the training school.

The easy solution was to discontinue the training and hope for the best.
Unfortunately the best will never come from a dog that has not been trained and will not respond to any of their requests.

They were disappointed with their pet and assumed that it was because it had a poor personality.

Little did they know that having spent some time on this dog when it was a puppy would have given them a pet that they would have enjoyed a whole lot more and they would have had an obedient dog that they would have been happy to take anywhere without fear of it running away and causing trouble.

German Shepherds are intelligent dogs and this dog has been quite bored for most of it's life as it hasn't got any purpose in life and will not listen to any commands.

After seeing the dog become somewhat depressed I started to retrain it to improve the life of both the dog and it's owners.

Progress has been very rapid as the dog is happy it has some new challenges and loves the attention and rewards that it gets on a regular basis now.

It is a lot more sociable and is easier to manage when out in public.

The owners are a lot happier and so is the dog.

It just seems a shame that they didn't persevere so much earlier in the dog's life and they all would have enjoyed many more years of fun and entertainment.

It's a fact that male dogs are normally more aggressive and destructive, particularly in small spaces are the typical characteristics of male dogs as held by some dog keepers. If you want to have dogs that are easier to train and more loving in nature, then you might as well settle for the female dogs, or 'bitches' as they are perceived to have those traits. You just can't generally say that these stereotypes are true and relevant to all since it will still vary from the breed of the dog. Choosing a female dog means either taking the initiative to neuter, or deal with the issue of the dog being in heat. Failure to take action for doggy birth control means that you're constantly trying to find homes for cute litters of pups.
Through a 1956 novel and two Disney films, this spotted breed has gained popularity especially among families with children. Unfortunately, this popularity didn't bring much good but resulted to the breed suffering greatly from the hands of irresponsible breeders and owners who lack experience particularly in terms of dalmation training. If only owners are well aware of proper dalmation training, the number of dalmations abandoned and turned over in rescue shelters could have been lessened.
I recently heard a newscaster talking about a glut of Chihuahuas in shelters in California. Practicing what I preach I decided to do a little snooping to see what is up with this loveable little breed. Here's just part of what I found.
Some golden retrievers unfortunately grow up and mature not interacting with many kids. The result is that the occasional dog will show visible signs of tension, hesitation or fear (but not aggression) when approached by more than one child. Otherwise, in most cases, these dogs have generally docile and affectionate personalities. But, as has been said, the typical dog with this condition will appear uncomfortable when on a walk or passing by a park.
People have countless different motives when answering what kind of tricks and training they give their golden retrievers. Some keep in mind dog therapy, others a semi-working status in their farm, still others are preparing the dog to be successful at the trials, and still others to make the dog just a plain simple fun household member. Behind it all is the fact that since the golden retriever is so smart, the training process itself promises loads of fun.
If not all, most golden retrievers are used as guide dogs and mobility assistance dogs because of their sociability towards people, calmness and willingness to learn. Young puppies that are confident, friendly, healthy and responsive are then picked to be placed in volunteer families called puppy raisers. Puppy raisers are responsible for socialization and developing the pup's social behavior in general. Socialization is a requirement to proceed to next step which is the golden retriever training for guide dogs.
Dalmations can do lots of things other dogs can't do. Teaching some dalmations to fall asleep in their basket will not amount to much, since a blatant lack of shame will make them stealthily crawl to your bed to snuggle under the covers beside you. It's indeed a mystery how a 30-kilo something dog can manage to claim its share of cotton and linen without being discovered. What's not a mystery is how said linen and cotton will look after so many nights. Learn more about it in this article...
