By Helene Norris


Considering the fact that dogs are the most adopted animals, in home dog training is an exercise that people that keep them as pets should consider as it help in eliminating their annoying habits, ensuring that they behave better. As much as they are known for being friendly, they can also be a source of embarrassment especially when they perform shameful acts when one is hosting guests.

Dogs are known to be social and in order to enhance their interactive skills, giving them some lessons is critical as it make them likable and not infuriating. Most of them have a learning instinct and therefore they are bound to learning things and therefore one should be careful on the tricks they teach them especially if they are all about attacking burglars.

The intellectual capacity of a dog is proven to be above the majority of animals and therefore, it is easier for them to learn and adopt habits that they are taught. Even so, it takes time and can take longer if one is not skilled to train them. However, it is an advantage when the pet knows you in which case they will obey your commands as you train them.

The lessons taught are basically meant to create boundaries on the habits that they allow them to do and those that are discouraged. They should only learn one thing at time and only move to the next trick ones they have mastered the previous ones. One should praise them ones they get the trick right in order to encourage them and make the habit stick.

Moreover, there are places that train puppies, some mature dogs and other places take in both; however, this is usually based on facilities they have to coach them. When learning becomes a challenge one may consider taking some basic lesson from these centers so as to understand how to effectively train them.

It advisable that dogs are trained while still young as it is easier to teach them trick since its their learning phase as they grow. On the other hand, the mature ones can also learn tricks but it becomes a challenge at first as they have to abandon their old habits and adopt new ones and therefore it might take longer.

Some tricks are good taught by the pet owner as they obey them more; these are such as going to the bathroom whereby one will have to show them the spot they should always go ones they need to, in which case it will take some time to master and would need patience. The best way to get to understand what the dogs like is by leashing them and walking them in the compound and observing what they do.

In home dog training is known to be the best techniques to train dogs as they are taught how to do things on the same environment they live in. This way, its easier for them to adopt these habits since its the place they live in and walk around all day; given that they know the place well, most of the coaching will be on the thing they should not do.
