Things you need for Dog Training

By Sile Harrison


Wanting to personally train your pet dog and wanting to be the best in it could be a bit problematic and needs a lot of commitment. Here, there are three basic skills that can help you master and train yourself. These three basic characteristics are not always seen in people and you would need some getting used to. We can call these characteristics through being P.E.T.

P is for Patience. As a dog owner, you should already have patience. With patience, you should always be in your best mood in order for you to properly handle your pet dog. It is important that you give your pet dog positive and not negative reinforcement as a dog acts just like children. When you teach them something new, you must be very patient and you should always keep your dog feeling good so that he will not get petrified and he would want to really learn.

E stands for Engage. You should make sure that you engage your dogs in the training as well as you are. Make sure that nothing will distract you in training your pet dog and you while you are both learning. You should both be able to make that no distraction will be at the place and time of your training.

T stands for Training. One last thing to keep in mind is to make sure that you are able to train yourself with the right amount of training, the basics and the advances skills to make sure that you are all set up for the dog training. This way, you are a certified dog trainer and a certified dog lover.

Finally, you should make sure that you take care of your pet dog the best way that you can through proper training of yourself as well. After all, we would not want your dog training to be like a blind leading another blind.
