Is Dog Training Necessary? Part 1

Recommended Answer:
You can go to a Dog training place, however you must practice what you are taught EVERY DAY. Dogs love training and your dog wants to please you. Your dog is not too old to be trained. Although I believe in LONG walks, there are times when this is a problem. Several months ago I had a broken wrist and the other was badly sprained. I could not put my dogs collar on consequently I had nothing to attach the leash to.

I have always trained my dogs and often this is the easy way out when walks are impossible. We had numerous fun/training sessions in the garden and my dogs enjoyed this. A well adjusted and trained dog is a joy to behold, they enjoy their life and the praise which is bestowed on them. Get stuck in there and do it..

Buying and Using an Electronic Dog Training Collar

• Dog's are never too old to be trained, although sometimes it becomes a little harder to break their old habits. I would suggest picking up the phone book and looking at some local dog training and behavior places in your area. Petsmart training is about $200 (I don't suggest petsmart as a qualified training facility though). I trained my dog and a police dog training facility for $500.
  
  Be sure to sit in on some classes before you settle on one place to make sure they have and do what you're looking for.


• You can still train him, it is just going to be a little harder than what it would be if he were a puppy, rates vary from place to place so I reallly could tell you a price.
  They might have estimates at petsmart for dog classes online, but it would most likly be easier for your dog to learn with a persoanl trainer who comes to your home.


• You can find plenty of information online about techniques on dog training... just google it. As far as places, I know Petsmart offers 'classes.' Here in San Antonio, TX it was $99 for 8wks (1hr every wk). If your dog hasn't ever done training I would start with the Basic training course first. They do things like sit, stay, come, leash training, and doggy socializing. It's a good place to start.


• Your right you should have statred when you got your pup.First Start with sit and push rear on floor -hold- treat repeat over and over 4-5 x day until pup learns sit!Then go from there.
  MAKE SURE pup wears collar and is tagged-then add lead and start "walking" youll both be tangled till pup "gets it' about 2 weeks 4x day.
  Most major pet stores have training classes that are around $50.Take pup there-and you too.The master has to learn to be in charge.ALWAYS love and pet pup when pup does good.They love praise and lots of love,J


• No. If you watch the Discovery Channel Mythbusters Proved that you can teach an old dog new tricks. :-)
  In your case, since your dog is still fairly young you should be able to teach it new tricks.
  


• A dog of any age can be trained it might take a little longer. It costs $80 for a two week course here, but it depends a lot on the trainer and your location.


• Not at all, any dog no matter the age can be trained.
  
  Training for me cost $109 for eight weeks, class was once a week.


• never too old or young.
  
  well I train my dogs myselg but roughly between $75 and $200 for some classses probably


• no it is not too early i am training my 8 puppies right now and there a 1 it is hard
