For those among who that way inclined there is probably no more rewarding experiencing than owning a dog. Mo matter if the dog is large or small, chubby or slim, he or she (or even they) will give you the purest form of unconditional love. Unconditional love that even the finest and most caring of our two legged friends will struggle to achieve over a life time.
One of the many problems with innate dog lover is that they tend to be blinkered, and sometimes fail to understand that not everybody loves dogs, and is even remotely ready to accept their faults and transgressions the way a "hooked on Rover" dog owner can tend to be. The happy medium is somewhere in the middle. Habitancy who want to accept a dog into their house must be ready to spend all the time that is valuable to ensure that the dog is properly trained, understands the meaning of discipline.
If that basic fact is not acceptable and implemented by the owner and fairly rapidly, they may well find themselves alienated by their friends and neighbours and in inevitable situations they can see their loved pet slip gradually out of operate and in some cases even become dangerous.
And what these owners who are reluctant to train their dogs properly do not get is that their dog is unhappy too. Dogs need and like to have a scholar and someone to look up to, and to pass out the commands. When the dogs start to pass out the commands to their owners, that's when things start to go wrong.
People, who have owned dogs all their lives, commonly create a specific affinity to a inevitable breed, and that is not a bad thing. Breeds of dog do tend to have their own characteristic which the owners will be aware of and will make training so much easier. Obviously the younger the dog begins to be trained, the easier it will be. Older dogs, who have never been fully trained, will have picked up some bad habits along the way. These habits may not be insurmountable in most cases; they will just make the job of training that dog that bit more difficult.
One thing that Habitancy who is training a dog for the first time is that dog training is necessary. There are no two ways about that. Dogs, although they are extremely moving animals, do not possess the natural instincts that allow them to automatically behave in a way that is valuable for them to live as a domestic pet in modern society. Dogs will all the time seek their owner's approval and they will soon pick up the basic traits of understanding commands, what is right and what is wrong and how to gain their owner's love and respect, which is and will continue to be the most leading thing in their lives.
Within the matter of a few short weeks, it should be potential to complete a very basic form of training, which will allow the dog to behave usually in society, both canine and human, and should no longer be nuisance to live with.
Dogs will react well to encouragement, and will rapidly elaborate and rejoinder to clear signals sent out by the owner/trainer. Dogs will rapidly understand signals that are spoken, in short sharp tones. The standards are sit, stay, down and heel, and these are the four transmit gears in dog training, that will be used throughout the dog/owner association for as long as it lasts.
Once these basic standards have been reached, then the dogs training can be prolonged for as far as the owner wants to go. Dogs can be trained to do so many things, and can be a working partner or a great companion. The training basically never ends, as long as the basic traits in the dog's personality have been recognized and the negative ones stamped out, and the inevitable ones encouraged. The unconditional love in the bond with your dog and the training you put into him to make him a good Habitancy will help you live in harmony with each other and your "pack."
