Intercommunicating – the key to dog obedience training
It may seem obvious, but you and your dog speak totally dissimilar languages. You speak english, french, german or whatsoever. Your dog speaks, well, dog. And a dog lives in a totally dissimilar world from a humane. We have splendid eyesight and a fundamental sense of smell. Our world revolves round what we may see.
Your dog, on the other hand, has eyesight that is not fundamental, but not a patch on ours. He (or she) does have a fantastic sense of smell and that is what his world revolves around. His eyesight enables him to understand body language, but a blind dog may find his way round wondrously in places he already knows.
But my dog perceives every word i say to him, i listen you protest. No, i’m frighted he doesn’t. He perceives that certain sounds you make mean certain things. Just as you comprehend that when he runs to the door barking he means “hey, folks, we have visitors”.
Which all means that we have a big intercommunicating gap to overcome when we want to get into a lot of dog obedience training. And it’s going to be a 2-way thing. You’re trying to train your dog to do what you want. Your dog, believe it on not is similarly trying to train you to do what he wants. And that he will be trained all the time – not just the odd few minutes when you have time for a lot of dog obedience training.
Well, that’s simple enough, you say. A dog wants food, water, a lot of fuss and a lot of exercise. I don’t require to be trained to give those. Is it as simple as that? What does a dog excpects from the people he lives with?
An individual once said that a domestic dog is no longer a wolf. Unfeigned, but there’s still a lot of wolf in the dog. They are a pack animal, which is the cause why dogs are so much posing no difficulty to train than cats – which are solitary animals anyway. When you fetch a dog into your home he without delay begins to evaluate this new pack that he’s joined. He wants to find an alpha, a pack master who he has to obey. If he finds one he may challenge for the perspective but, not having won, he will receive his role in the pack, leastways for now. If the pack doesn’t appear to have a master then the dog will assume that role. That’s when training the dog gets unmanageable. Why will have to he obey his inferiors in the pack?
Becoming the pack leader is not easy. It means learning to speak a certain quantity of dog. No, you won’t have to bark, but your point of view and a certain quantity of body language are going to be necessitated to launch yourself as top dog in the pack. If you may do this (and there are lots of sources of selective information on being a pack leader, from the “dog whisperer” on tv, through all sorts of books, print and electronic) then the difference in the way your dog responds will amaze you.
Go on – undertake it and see what happens.
