Effective Dog Obedience Training Please don’t give up on your dog yet – there’s nothing worse than having a dog that doesn’t obey you and that’s not well trained. You’ll soon be feeling helpless and overwhelmed with all the chaos, if you aren’t already. There are effective dog obedience training techniques that really work and are easy to implement, but first let’s quickly understand why we should even train a dog, aside from the obvious. It’s very healthy for a dog to be trained and the only reason they get chaotic and disobedient is because they’re frustrated just like a human would be frustrated if you didn’t teach him or her what the ground rules are. If you don’t properly set the boundaries, then your dog will decide what those boundaries will be and usually this creates issues at home. So, what makes a dog obedience training system a good and effective dog obedience training system? Well, the method should be easy, fun, but also allow you to establish a strong owner-dog relationship, based on trust and mutual respect. It should also provide you confidence in, and control of your dog in any situation, working with your dog’s natural energy and instincts. Last but not least, absolutely no cruel or harsh “old fashioned” training techniques should ever be used – there’s no need to “break a dog’s spirit” in the training process.

Among the easiest and coolest dog training techniques around is clicker training. The name “clicker training” is used because the main tool is a very small mechanical noisemaker called a clicker. Clicker training is a very effective (positive) training technique when it’s used correctly. In clicker training we do not lure or bribe the dog. The treats are well hidden in our pockets until the dog offers the right behavior on his own. THEN, and only then, we click and treat. This is a huge difference from many other approaches. Clicker training can give you excellent, reliable behaviors. But it can also give you something no other training technique can: A happy and competent learner ready to learn new behaviors in record time! This fast learning capacity is what makes clicker training so fascinating. Most owners can’t believe their dog is the same dog, after learning just a few techniques. Clicker training is easy to learn and, by the way, it’s required training for all instructors at Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. in California. Aside from really being the answer to your dog troubles, you’ll begin to enjoy and look forward to spending time with your dog once you know the basic secrets of the clicker training.
