As a dog owner, you have the duty to train your dog and teach him new things. A trained dog is always happy, because he knows how to make you trust him. Love alone isn't enough for the health and well being of your pet. He needs to understand your commands and be part of a team. Your dog will be happier if you treat him as your partner. Dog training is about establishing a strong relationship between you and your pet, a relationship based on trust and not on competition.
Your dog will never be part of your family if you don't train him. Although training can be done at any age, the best is to do it when your dog is still a puppy, in his first months of life. This will help him understand you better.
Dogs have their own language. If you learn the meaning of your dog gestures, it will be much easier to know what he has to tell you. Although they can not speak, dogs have unique ways of telling us what they expect. Communicating with your dog properly is extremely important. For example, when you talk to your dog and he barks, it means that he wants something from you. If are able to listen carefully and understand him, the changes to have a strong relationship with him will increase greatly.
Start by learning more about your dog's gestures and behavior. When the dog holds his head high and his neck arched, it means that he wants to show his superiority. The leaning of a dog's head to the right or to the left expresses curiosity and interest. When he is obedient, he holds his head down.
A simple tail wag means excitement, playfulness and self-confidence. However, it also expresses anxiety, reassurance, submissive placation and reconciliation after an aggressive interaction. When the tail is held high, your dog is suspicious and ready to attack. Fast wags of the tail express happiness and excitement. A slow wag of the tail is a sign of uncertainty.
The way in which your dog holds his ears expresses the dog's level of attention. If your dog is very attentive and focused, he holds his ears erect facing forward. When he holds his ears laid back, he is scared. Some dogs can't use their ears to transmit clear signals, because they have drop ears.
Pets begin to socialize from their first days of life. It is recommended for a pet to spend at least 8 weeks with his mother, in order to learn what obedience is. But once he is adopted by a human family, the socialization process must continue. Expose the pet gradually to external stimuli. Help him get used with all family members. Allow your puppy to interact with children and mature dogs. Socializing will be more intense if you begin to walk the dog in the park where he has the possibility to interact with people and new situations.
To have a beautiful and long lasting relationship with your dog, it's necessary to train him. Don't treat the dog like an object! Make him feel loved even when you don't agree with his actions. In general, a dog must learn some basic commands: "Come here", "Sit", "Lay down", "Wait", etc. It's very important not to punish your dog when he refuses to listen to you. During the training session, you and your dog are a team, so you shouldn't compete with him. Never forget that dog training must be fun both for you and your dog,
