Is there any Breed Specific Dog Training Methods

Being a proud owner of a dog, that too of a nice breed, it is natural for you to dwell on the training needs of your dog so as to make it a nice pet to maintain. If you ever want your dog to behave properly and do few tricks too, then dog training is the right avenue with which you can make your dog more amenable and a wonderful companion for you.

When you consider the behavior of various breeds to the training, it is a fact that different breeds respond differently to the training, but there are few aspects that are common too in any dog training. Dogs in general carry certain common specific traits and there are also specific breeds that are bred exclusively for some specific purposes such as pit bulls bred for fighting. Though such specific breeds can also be domesticated, it could be achieved only with a concerted early dog training and by investing a lot of patience and time.

Out of various dog training lessons, the important potty training should start at the earliest possible, more preferably the moment your pup or dog enters your home. Initially you can keep your dog in a cage or a crate and as you see some restlessness in your dog you can take it outside duly leashed for it to defecate. You should also choose a spot outside your home for your dog to use and note to take your dog regularly to the same spot without fail.

Few people have also found that if they feed their dogs inside the cage or at its own living place, then their dogs have naturally stopped spoiling its living place and waited for the owners to take them outside. However, you should take your dog outside the moment you see signs and any failure in this might make your dog defecate in the same place much to your displeasure.

Consistency can Confer Success

In any dog training, be it for any breed, consistency holds the major success key and besides this your voice commands also play a vital role in making your dog listen and understand your expectations. The best part of the voice commands is that as soon as your dog hears a command that is familiar to it, it will immediately respond to it without even looking at you.

For instance if you train your dog to stop doing something by way of saying “no” in a stern voice combined with a mild swat using a newspaper or hand, then your dog will immediately stop repeating any unwanted behavior the moment it hears a “no” from you and with or without a swat.

There is a wide spread belief that you should not punish your dog for any of its misbehavior and when you hire professionals to train your dog you can even see them imparting the necessary training without any punishing and only with voice commands. If you want to take up the task of training your dog all by yourself, then you must have patience and only with a concerted effort should you be able to change your dog’s behavior.
