How does your dog sit when you tell him to and mine doesn't? How can your dog heel to you like that? Wow he comes when you tell him to - Sounds familiar? If it does, you need to invest some time into a little bit of basic dog training. Beginning stages of dog training must start from a young age, so you can shape the type of dog it will be when it grows up.
The first things you must teach your dog to do are to come when called and to sit on command. Those commands are essential for his pedagogical development. Teaching him these commands will lay out a firm foundation for other tricks. These commands are used for various different reasons, if you are in competition, if your dog jumps making him sit will immediately get him off and "come" is the all important one. If you take your dog for a walk, you let him of the leash and you expect him to come back to you, not run around the park with you chasing after him shouting at him to "get here right this instance". That would mean complete and utter embarrassment!
Teaching your dog to come to you is vital, especially when distractions abound. The simplest way to get him to come is have a toy in one hand and a treat in the other, when you are in the house simply walk away from him, hold out the toy and excitingly call him to you, when he comes over give him a treat, always use the command for come that you are going to use in the future. This is a great way for him to learn, but take frequent breaks and always reward him with treats!
Learning a sit command still falls under the fundamentals of dog training even though it may be a bit more difficult for your dog to learn. Once you have got to grips with the come command call your dog to you, gently push down on his backside and say "sit". Once he has sat down give him lots of praise and a treat. If you want him to sit longer just delay giving him the treat and the praise, get him to sit but take your time bending down to him and feeding him his tidbit.
Basic dog training is simple and very effective. You and your dog should enjoy it and keep it quick, five minutes a day or so should be enough. Don't forget to compensate your dog- and even yourself for all the hard training.
While "The Dog Whisperer" written by means of Paul Owens is among the books I used to be telling you about <a href="http://www.dogwalkingfortunes.com/">dog walking as a business</a> earlier, the place people that have had no experience with canine positioned pen to paper.
