Dogs come in a wide variety of breeds, so much so that sometimes it is best to not even consider them all of the same species. The only reason that biologists do is that they have the ability to interbreed with other dogs. Dog owners however, have various goals and it is better to highlight the differences in dogs than their similarities.

A Great Dane looks different and thinks and behaves and much differently than a Jack Russell. The former is usually calmer. A Collie is very different from a Golden Retriever, who is very excitable and fun loving. A Chihuahua and a German Shepherd have very little in common other than being a dog.

Because of these basic differences, you should customize the training to the breed you intend to train. All dogs require patience while training, however some will require more patience than others will. German Shepherds are an intelligent breed that enjoys performing with obedience commands. Jack Russell's are intelligent; however, they have a strong sense of willpower and deserve a variation of technique.

One highly active, high-energy dog is a terrier, distraction techniques work well for them. They have the ability to spot movement and then they quickly go after the animal making the movement. It can be a challenge to keep their attention while training them. You may consider using dog treats, toy and other objects to keep their attention on you, by wiggling the object in their face to do so.

Collies are very mellow and are trainable as well; however, they are very loyal and protective animals, which is a good thing. However, it can be a problem if your collie continually barks and tries to attack anyone they consider a threat to the family. This may be desirable at night for a watchdog; however, it can be very annoying each time someone passes your house on the sidewalk in daylight.

Bark collars are can be useful under these circumstances. However, once darkness falls you should remove the collar. This will help the dog associate discouragement from barking in the day, while it can function as a watchdog during the night.

Dalmatians are very strong and highly energetic they make great companions. For a dog like this to have to spend hours alone in, a small backyard with no one to play with can cause problems. You will need to take the time to help this dog use up its excess energy.

The only speed Dalmatians understand is full speed ahead. They do require a large area for running and playing. They require a master who can toss the ball far, far away and still be able to command them fully. They are loyal dogs that need a strong hand, since it takes a forceful master to be the alpha dog as far as a Dalmatian is concerned.

Your training method will need revising to fit the nature of the dog you are training. You will need to consider both aspects concerning the breed and the individual character of your dog. Similar to humans, dogs are individuals as well.
