Dog obedience training can make you feel like a secret agent, trying
to crack an impossible code that leads to your target. It is easy to
get frustrated, especially when your dog seems to ignore everything
you say. There is in fact a secret code to dog training, but it
doesn't involve any forms of espionage. Rather, your success depends
on the environment in which you instruct your four-legged friend.
By focusing on your dogs basic needs, you can eliminate distractions
and encourage listening. Here are the four basic needs of your pet.
When they are fulfilled, he will be much more likely to be responsive
to your instructions.
Food, Water, and ShelterThis would appear to be the most obvious needs
for any animal, but even the most attentive owner can accidentally
overlook these three essentials. Training sessions can be stressful on
your dog, especially if things aren't going well. That is why you
should always bring food and water to your lessons. Also pay attention
to the climate around you. Make sure there are plenty of shade and
soft surfaces around so that your dog can rest comfortably if
needed....
