How to Make Your Dog
Behave...
Most people contend that
dogs are created to obey
their masters. That is why
they are considered the
mans best friend. However,
obedience is not an innate
quality in dogs. That is
why it is important to
teach them how to obey
commands in order for them
to know in what manner they
should behave.
In reality, obedience
training is created to
impose control over dogs.
These canine friends should
know who the master is and
who the follower is.
With all the teachings
of science and mans
remarkable brain, the
guidelines about obedience
training in dogs were
created. All of these are
inclined to teach the dogs
how to obey simple to
complex commands and how to
behave properly.
However, the concept of
training dogs how to obey
may vary on styles,
equipment being used, or on
the principles being
implemented. Nevertheless,
all of these things are
focused on making dogs obey
their masters.
The question is: How do
trainers or these concepts
make the dogs obey their
masters? What is the reason
that lies beneath the idea
considering the fact that
dogs are not humans who can
logically understand why
they have to obey?
What people dont know
is that there are only
two keys in order to
make their dogs obey
them: consistency and
compassion.
Consistency is extremely
important in every training
program. This is because as
mentioned earlier, dogs are
not logical thinkers. This
means that they dont know
and they dont understand
why they have to obey or
what does their master want
from them. That is why it
is important to let them
know the things they should
do and the things they
shouldnt do.
In this way, people
should be consistent on
distinguishing the things
that should be done and
those that are not
appreciated.
On the other hand,
compassion is needed in
teaching dogs to obey
because they are not like
humans who will immediately
understand what is wrong or
right. This means that
people should be a little
more patient when teaching
dogs to obey in order for
them to gain the dogs
trust.
There are instances
wherein trainers get
impatient after repeating
one command several times.
In the end, they tend to
hurt the dog. In turn, the
dog gets hurt and may no
longer trust his
trainer.
The bottom line is that,
dogs are not humans and
they dont behave like
humans. That is why
training them to obey needs
more time, more patience,
and more understanding from
people who know better.
