What To Expect
So you have a dog and you're not sure what you should and should not be doing with him, right?
He's jumping, digging, barking, goes to the bathroom in the house, is aggressive, fearful, and drags you when he's on the leash.You've heard so many ideas about how to train your dog you're not sure what's right and what's wrong.
Should you get a shock collar, a choke chain, or bribe him with food?
Well, here's some stuff you should know when you decide to hire a professional to help you with your dog.
-All trainers have differing opinions on how to address behavioral problems and teach obedience cues. The truth is you need to find a trainer who is willing to base the technique used on the personality of your dog. For example, if your dog is shy or fearful, correction-based training techniques should be avoided.
-There is no magic wand in dog training. Dogs cannot be trained overnight. It takes weeks to build trust with a new dog that you have brought into your home and it takes months to see results from daily training using techniques best suited for you and your dog.
-You dog's behavior has been shaped by experiences your dog has had as well as natural instincts due to breed. German Shepherds are naturally protective, Border Collies naturally want to herd, Dachshunds naturally like to dig.
-Training takes time, patience, and consistency on your part.
