Hi everyone, Joachim here!
I just thought I should share why I think it's so important that you train your dog properly...
Dogs are as we all know very social animals. They belong to a group of animals that's loyal
to those they care about and in return they demand attention.
But without proper training, they will behave like animals. Without proper training, you
will get a wild animal, and without proper training your dog will mess up your house, break
things, won't listen to you at all, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even worse; bite you
or the ones you care about.
This is all because it's in her nature. Every dog will
behave like that without guidance (maybe not to the
same degree, but more or less). So what obedience
training does, is that it establishes a social hierarchy.
A trained dog is way more confident than an
untrained dog and she may be allowed a greater
amount of freedom than an untrained dog. If you
want to socialize your dog in a controlled
environment, you should really consider dog
training classes or puppy training classes if you have
a puppy.
There's a tiny bit of difference in dog training classes vs puppy training classes, and it
speaks for itself. In most puppy training classes your puppy will improve its social skills
and they are a great opportunity for you to start some basic obedience training as well. This
is where you build the foundation which you use to build on later in your dogs life.
So in puppy training classes, things aren't that advanced and it's like kindergarten for us
humans.
But if you want to get the very best out of your dog you should start doing some dog
training. Through obedience training you will be able to build a lifelong bond between you
and your dog, and the truth is that a trained dog is more enjoyable as a playmate, friend
and companion.
Hope this information is useful for you guys!:)
Kindest,
Joachim
