Dog Friendly Tips: Introduction to Dog Training Clubs

Dogs have been and continue to be one of the most popular pets in many households. They are a welcome addition to the family and serve many functions both physically and emotionally.

One of the biggest problems faced to a new dog owner is how to train their new ward. Being a dog owner brings responsibility both to the dog and to the environment where the dog will live. Ensuring that your dog is well trained will yield many rewards over the life of your dog. It also helps your dog know what is expected and what its limits are.

There are many approaches to dog training. Many owners want to train their own dog while others will seek professional help. Both methods have their good and bad aspects. For the purpose of this article, we are assuming that you want to train your own dog.

You can find books on dog training and learn how to do your own training. This is great if you have the time and discipline to follow a schedule of training. It is important that the training be consistent and that is builds on past lessons.

Another very pleasant way to train your dog is by joining a dog training club. There you will find people of like mind who also want their dogs well trained. A big advantage of a group setting is the socialization skills you dog will learn being around other types of dogs. You also have the ability to see how other people handle their pets and learn from observation.

A club will generally have one main instructor and helpers depending on the number of dogs in the class. Make sure when you look at training clubs to make sure that there is enough help available to you during the training sessions.

Go to the dog training clubs you are interested in and watch a few sessions. Do you like the methods the instructor uses? Are the dogs in the class responding in a positive manner or is it pandemonium? Taking the time to assess the clubs available to you will be time well spent.

Each training session should build upon the skills learned in prior visits. Between classes, it is necessary to work with your dog to be certain that they have mastered the prior lessons before moving on to new concepts.

Think of training your dog like building a sturdy home. If you don't have a solid foundation, the entire house is in danger of collapse. But if you build a strong foundation, then you can confidently build upon it. The same idea applies to teaching your dog.

Working with your dog will provide you with a great feeling of accomplishment and you will be proud when strangers come up and compliment you on how well trained your dog is!
