I have two dogs. One pitbull/small hound mutt and a pure Beagle. They are both extremely athletic and a little mischeivous. I would like to be able to set up an agility course in my back yard so they have a positive activity that will challenge them and burn off some of their never ending energy. But first I need to learn how to train them to do this.
P.S. I also have to train the Beagle to behave off leash.
It’s always nice when your dog or puppy shows you that he’s really happy to see you when you get home, however this over excitement can end up being a nuisance as your puppy gets older and bigger. Lets be realistic do you really want muddy foot prints all over your brand new dress or trousers? No thought not!
Although dogs are domesticated now, by nature they are still wild and they exhibit behaviors that sometimes very annoying like excessive barking. Dog barks to communicate and get the attention of people and other animals but when it becomes excessive and uncontrollable, it’s a constant annoyance and hard to handle if you don’t know the right techniques to stop dogs from barking.
Before trying to stop dogs from barking, you must understand the reason why dogs bark. There are many reasons behind the excessive barking and some of these include loneliness, boredom, medical problems, fear or they just merely seeking attention from you.
The first rule in dog obedience training is to remember that dogs are not human. It’s easy for us to fall into the habit of expecting our dogs to know what we’re saying and what we expect from them. We tend to treat our pets as if they think like us.
Dog training professionals often hear dog owners who seem to want their dogs to stop barking, period. They feel a good dog is a quiet dog, and the only time that barking’s permitted is when there’s a man in a black balaclava and striped prison outfit, clutching a backpack with all our expensive jewelry in it, clambering in through your bedroom window.
Backpacks for dogs as training tools can be very beneficial if your dog has high level energy and you find that his or her daily exercise is not doing enough to drain him of this energy sufficiently. The idea of the backpack is to drain the dog’s physical energy by adding to the weight he is used to carrying and it also serves to drain him mentally because the dog will see carrying the back pack as a specific job he has to do.
Dog clicker training method gets full marks from me! I’ve used this form of training on a number of problematic dogs, and the end results have been extremely outstanding.
Sadly, there are still people out there who think that clicker training is ineffective and worse yet; some even believe that this impressive training process should only be employed on circus dogs!
