Dogs that are out of control, jumping on visitors and tearing up the garden are not fun to have around. Well-trained dogs are more relaxed, less likely to get into tussles guests or with other people's pets. Another reason is that many communities require that the dogs living in their area be well-trained. This is very true all types of dogs that are aggressive - pit bulls are one of the breeds that fall under this category.
The following commands are essential.:
Heel - the dog is taught to walk by your side. A well-trained dog won't need a leash once it masters this command.
No - this command is used to teach your dog that whatever he's doing when you say it is unacceptable.
Sit - the dog learns to sit, and be still.
Stay - your dog learns not to move until you say otherwise
Down - your dog is taught to lay down.
Dogs are social creatures and form packs, and they follow the lead of the pack leader. The important thing for you to remember for successfully training your dog is that you must become the pack leader. Failure to do so leads to all manner of behavior problems, because if you don't take the lead, your dog will.
A dog with the right training will always respond correctly to his owner's directions, and will not display anxiety, displeasure or confusion. The right obedience training program focuses on teaching the dog what you want it to do, and will use good, positive reinforcement to reward desired behaviors. Your dog will feel safe, knowing that someone's in control, and not worry constantly about what you mean when you tell him to do something.
In addition to molding the dog into a well-mannered member of the community, obedience training gives the dog a chance to satisfy some of its own needs, including the need for exercise and security from knowing what you want. Your neighbors, your friends, your family and your dog will all thank you for the time and effort you put into making sure your pet has the proper obedience training.
