Dog Health Questions: Is there alternative for repetition method of dog training?

when you train dog, you often have to use lot of repetition to make it register in dog's mind to act certain way after he hears command. With lot of repetition, the dog learns it. After that as soon as he hears the command that was trained, he acts as taught. However as a human being, repetition is very boring and tiring. I wish dog can learn like humans did -- just say it once and its understood. the repetition method is pain. i just don't feel like being in the mood to repeat. i just can't. you can keep dog's interest by giving him treat or telling him "good boy" repeatedly. But from human stand point that's just so ridiculous

Dog Training Fundamentals - 5 Key Dog Behaviour Factors That Affect Training



Recommended Answer:
Hmmm..I guess that means that dogs are not human?
Dogs require an average of 14 repetitions to learn a task. Live with it, or don't have a dog.
Dogs are NOT for everybody. It sounds like you are one that doesn't need a dog.

  • I have a big Guardian dog, and she was very aggressive to strangers in our house. I knew she could be trained because her mother was not aggressive. I don't know how to start correcting her behavior so I went to ask my friend who had k9 and he recommended me a book about dog training. I got several good tips from the book as well as a personal email on how to correct her behavior. Following the dog training tips from his book I was able to train my dog In a short period of time. Now she was so controlable and I don't have any worries about visitors coming to our house. You may want to check it. It might be of help to you. Just see the link below the resources section.

  • People need repetition to. How many things did you learn without only having it told or shown to you once? I bet you didn't learn to drive a car after only one round of practice. Repetition is only tiring or boring if what you are learning is presented in a boring manner. The same is true for dogs, if you don't know what motivates your dog all the repetition in the world isn't going to help.

    Dogs can't learn like people because they AREN'T people and their brains are not wired nor developed like ours are.

  • Nothing on the market explained dog training the way we thought it should be explained. So I wrote my own dog training book. You can start learning how to get your dog to listen to you, anywhere you go, with my best-kept and most effective training secrets you can start transforming your dog in less than 10 minutes . .

  • Hey I see that you need some sort of guide that will give you tips and tricks to help your dog become fully trained and more healthy. Recently one of my friends really needed some advise on how to train his dog. he followed the dog training academy course to successfully have a full trained dog in a few weeks.

  • How do human children learn what words mean? Babies are not born knowing a language. Children do not learn ABCs by hearing it once.

    Sorry you think repetition is boring. Good thing teachers don't.

  • My mother trained her two dogs using the dog training academy and had good success. Her dogs really responded and it could help you too. Best of luck.

  • Straight repetition is NOT effective. You'll learn this when you've taught a dog a command -- say "down". The dog does it. Now go across the room and give the same command -- nothing! What does this tell you? The dog does not take the cue that YOU think you are giving!!

    What to do -- personally I practice commands from all different locations (in front, aside, behind, across the room...etc) I do rally exercises because these are all different "noodling" exercises, variation on a theme that keep us both interested. Its a lot more fun to heel forward, and then backward! Pivot to the right, the left, make a 360 or a 270 turn.

    My dogs are way too smart for a "good boy" and a treat to keep their attention.

    Mix it up, be creative and have fun. You'll have a better trained dog this way.

  • How often you have to repeat something depends a great deal on the expertise of the trainer and the interest of the dog in learning. I've trained and shown many dogs and some caught on much faster than others. My OTCH Sheltie learned extremely fast and thus finished his UDX quickly also, however I didn't think I would ever finish a UDX with another of my shelties.
    Competition training is a great deal different than training a dog simply as a pet and that's where you are hearing about repetition training. When competing you need a dog that has been "muscle trained" as well as "brain trained" in order to be able to do the same thing over and over again in a very distracting environment.
    For training a pet, you should not have to train this way.
    You can't compare, intellectually, human training with animal training as the human brain and the animal brain are not at all wired the same.

  • Well because they are not human and that is why you get tired of them.

    A trainer or a person well equipped to take on training doesn't feel this way, they do it to see the results and because the dog is not humane you have to do it a different way to get the dog to respond.

    Remember they are an animal born in the wild and we are putting the dogs in our human society so in order to do that you need to train.

    What about people that cannot hear or see, do you know the stress that is involved in teaching them every day life, it just doesn't occur in animal form it happens in all life.
    What about someone with down syndrome? It takes on a daily task and it doesn't work over night.

    So I think you just would not want to try, you give up to easily on things. Sorry to hear that.
