Basic Obedience Training - Secret of Having a Well-Behaved Dog - Training Tips For Different Dogs
Recommended Answer:
Here are some websites that have good trainers. Lynnwood has quite a few good trainers. Stay away from the box store PetsMart, PetCo trainers as they have little experience. Make sure that any puppy class that you take actually does some training. Some puppy classes are a little more then recess with little training. So ask some questions as to the class content. Contact your local kennel club. they can also give you some information.
4 Core Basics of Dog Training
- training a dog is an on going process. Once the dog is trained, you still have to encourage and motivate.
Have you seen the praying dog. Its amazing, you can check it out below, you can train your dog to do a lot of stuff, but you have to be patient and encourage with goodies
good luck - I don't know about Washington, but if you have a pets mart near you, they offer fantastic classes. Look up their website or call for the dates and times. The closest one for us is a little over an hour, but it is so worth it. We have a 7 year old St. Bernard and a 6 month old mix with a brain that shuts off every time his tail moves. Pets Mart was wonderful and patient with him. Good luck!
- Training you dog is easy and free! Look on youtube. There are 100's of training videos free online. If you send you dog to obedience school and it becomes trained it will become untrained if you don't stay on top of it! I work a lot too, but I spend 15 mins. training with my dog everyday. As your dog gets older it will calm down. Trust me 15 mins. a day and look on youtube will pay off!
- Your best bet would be an all breed obedience club. Less expensive than professionals or pet smart, and they will teach you training skills that you will always have. Go to the AKC website, click on clubs and do a club search for clubs in your area.
- in lynnwood their is some very good dog training look go to the home phone book in theirs one that just says dog training call it they leave your dog so trained i was impressed by their work
- petsmart has good trainers in ohio
- The key sentence here is "most of the time I let him get away with it". No training you do is going to work unless you follow through consistently and ALL THE TIME. Your dog will absolutely try to get away with anything he can. You let him do that and its all on you.
Personally I am not impressed with the Petsmart/Petco training. While it does work for some people and you can learn things there you may not know...the level of training is not consistently high and I know of more than one person who signed up and was asked to leave because their dog is disruptive. Point being, that is why they were there in the first place.
A private trainer will work with you and show you how to train your dog. They may demonstrate a few times with your dog but the actual work is done by you. And you can't let your dog get away with it. A private trainer might be more expensive in the short run, but if you only need a few lessons and you put in the time for practice, it is well worth it.
Yes, there are also places who do board and train...it is successful for many though there is a bonding process that you don't get to go through. In certain circumstances it might be a good thing but it is not for me.
Boxers are very energetic dogs. I would recommend that you schedule some serious exercise play so your dog will be in the right frame of mind ..and tired...and will respond better to training sessions. And I would suggest that YOU get on it and make up your mind to do the best thing possible for your dog...a consistent training program that you follow through with and practice each and every day for the life of your dog!
I did do some private training 2 years ago w my 4 year old pit hound mix. 5 lessons that were unbelievably informative. After that, the clients of this trainer meet as a group a few times a week for fun and reinforcement. My boy gets 2 15-20 minute training sessions every day and goes to class 2 x a week in addition to the walks, the socialization, the exercise...and the trick training. He is..as most dogs are...eager to please and happy to work. If you do that kind of work with your dog you will not believe how rewarding it feels and what a great bond you can have with your pet.
Read your answers here...choose some form of traiining in your area....and YOU DO THE WORK and you will get a great pet!! Good luck.
