Dog Training Basic Equipment Needed To Train Your Family Dog
You will need three specific pieces of equipment to properly train your dog: a training collar, a leather training leash, and a 15-foot length clothesline rope.
If youre already thinking that your dogs present leather collar will work, and that his 4-foot chain leash will suffice, you may as well stop reading this article and save yourself and your dog weeks of discomfort and hardship. There simply is no substitute for the right training equipment. A training collar is a slip-chain type made of metal. Dont substitute one thats made of nylon.
One of the many things your dog is going to learn is to have confidence in you. But he will never develop that feeling of confidence if you substitute improper training equipment that will not be effective. Where theres no confidence there can be no respect, and no respect means no desire to please. No desire to please means no willingness to learn. Add them all up and you have an uncontrollable dog that will never achieve his rightful place in human world.
The Proper Leash
Your leash should be of the regular five to six foot leather type with a hand loop at one end. Training collars and leather training leashes are available at pet shops and via online catalogs. Training collars are sometimes called choke-chains, which is incorrect. While its true that a training collar can choke, if its worn on the dog correctly and used properly, theres no way it can be a choke-chain and cause harm to your pet.
The Right Collar
The collar should be large enough to slide over the dogs head comfortably, but not so large as to fall over the ears if the dog should lower his head. A good rule of thumb to follow is to place the collar on the dog and cinch it up tight for a moment and observe whether you have three inches of chain left over. If so, you have a fairly good fit. It is better to have a training collar thats slightly too large than one slightly too small.
Final Dog Training Necessities That You Cannot Find In A Store
The remaining equipment that youll need cannot be purchased at any store, but without them, you cannot successfully train your dog.
You must love and care for your dog! You must have patience and exercise patience while your dog is learning. A shallow patience mixed with a short temper will ensure complete and utter failure.
To lose your cool and blow up means the end of training, so heres a little tip that might help you keep your cool:
It takes 4 to 5 days for an average dog to learn the average thing. Do not expect your dog to perform like a professional the first few days of teaching him something new. It just doesnt happen that way. If you lose control of yourself, you have lost control of the situation. When this happens, your dog loses confidence in you.
BONUS : Dog Training Classes Hiring The Wrong Person To Train Your Dog
It was a breezy summer evening when approximately 12 dogs from various breeds were all assembled in a small group at a local city park in San Diego, California. At each dog's side, its owner stood by, attentively listening to the dog training instructor whom was in the middle of the group
Today's lesson will teach you how to give your dog the Down command. He went on to say: Now with your dog sitting by your side, and with a little bit of slack on the leash, loudly say the word 'Down' and then step on the leash hard so that your dog is forced to the ground and knows exactly what the down command means. This will show your dog that you are in charge and capable of making him go down whether he likes it or not.
Like mindless listeners, the entire class obeyed the lesson and literally crammed the heads of their dogs down into the ground by stepping on the leash. By the time the entire training session had ended, it seemed like every down command ended in shrieks and moans from every dog. There was mass hysteria while the toy dog breeds fought off the leash and collar and the larger dogs just got confused, not understanding the forcefulness of the lesson.
Any dogs that rebelled against their owners and the leash in the attempt to force them down were asked why the instructor to stay behind for some special handling. This special handling only turned out to be a much more aggressive counter-lesson with a rolled up fist and an aggressive action towards the dog.
Is This Worth Saving A Few Dollars?
The above scenario happens all too often throughout the country. It seems that with a few months of reading and researching dog training manuals, almost anyone can become a dog training expert regardless if the training principles they are teaching or wrong or not. Such negative dog training only destroys the responsiveness, initiative, willingness, and motivation of any dog involved towards learning.
It just goes to show you that wherever there is money to be made in any type of field, especially dog training, you'll always have your egomaniacs and fake experts rushing to fill the gap and make a quick buck.
It may be a simple matter of economics, as one pet store owner was saying. Many dog owners come into the store and want to know how to properly train their pets. Although I sell dozens of instructional booklets, they want one-on-one teaching instructions. However, it's quite expensive to hire a real professional so all they do is search around on the Internet or their local newspaper ads to find a cheap dog training class, which is usually run by someone that does not know what they are doing and for the most part uses aggressive tactics
The point here is to let all of you dog owners know that it is much safer to work on your own training abilities by using qualified information instead of hiring the wrong person to do the job. And there are some organizations, such as Petco, is nationally recognized animal pet store, that hires professionals to teach obedience and training classes for your dogs each week.
