If Your Dog Is Unruly You Need Therapy Dog Training
If it seems like your dog owns you instead of you owning your dog, you need therapy dog training. When your dog was not trained as a puppy or if you rescued a dog from a shelter it’s a good possibility that they have behavior problems, and there is nothing worse than a dog who will not listen to you and possibly even tears your house apart.
In dog training for dummies you will learn that is it always best to start training your dog from the minute you bring them home, old dog or puppy, it doesn’t matter. A dog needs to know that you are in charge if not they will rule your home and your life.
You need to know what the limits and boundaries are before you start therapy dog training. Maybe you do not want your dog to go on the furniture, if you rescued a dog from a shelter his or her previous owners may have allowed this and you will definitely be doing therapy dog training to have them relearn a behavior that they thought was OK.
Whatever the behavior is you need to be consistent when doing the dog therapy training. Each and every time your dog does things you do not want them to you have to respond the same way and everyone in your family needs to know what this response will be. Do not yell at or hit your dog this does not make for a kind dog or a well behaved dog. When you do get a good response be sure to praise your dog, treats are not always necessary a good scratch and kind words work well too.
If your dog has a problem when you try to walk them, there are certain collars you can buy that will help. I am not talking about chose collars or shock collars, I am talking about collars that are more like a harness or put pressure on the bridge of your dogs nose. These do not hurt your dog, rather they just let your dog know that what they are doing is wrong and the collar helps you to control them.
The key with correcting bad behavior by doing therapy dog training is consistency, make sure all members of your home know what is expected of your dog, and that everyone does the same thing when your dog does something wrong.
