Dog Training
Successfully making use of
effective dog training techniques, and of
suitable dog training equipment where applicable,
to the point where your dog is obedient to your commands when
necessary can be a rewarding experience for both owner and
dog.
A dog will encounter many situations and
experiences on his or her journey and knowing how to train your
dog effectively should ultimately provide you with the satisfactory
results you would hope for. A trained dog will hopefully have been
taught how to behave correctly no matter what situation he or she
encounters.
Having already noted that dog
obedience training can be rewarding let us turn our
attention for a moment to the dog training techniques themselves.
When it comes to training your dog, people will generally
either take it upon themselves to do so, or, consult an
experienced professional dog trainer, either one on one, or
enrol in dog obedience training classes of some
sort.
Dog Training Products, Supplies and Dog Training
Aids
As one sets about begining to obedience train their dog, there
are a number of dog training aids and a large variety of dog
training equipment available in order to assist with the
dog training process. When we refer to dog training equipment,
perhaps we need to narrow down this cattegory into two seperate
parts. When we talk about how to train a dog in general even, the
training process and therefore the training equipment or dog
training aids used in that process might fall into one of two areas.
The areas we are refering to here are dog obedience or
behavioural training and activity or dog agility
training. We will look more closely at agility training
equipment further on.
Obedience And Behavioural Dog Training
Equipment
Whether you are training a dog or training a puppy, the dog owner
can find themselves confronted with a large array of equipment and
products, some of which designed to aid dog training, others to
pamper your pet. There is of course some necessary basic equipment
needed for any dog, among those being collars, leads (such as a
short lead, long training lead, long house line), water and food
bowls and suitable grooming equipment and a comfortable sleeping
area.
As far as dog training equipment is
concerned, there are a variety of dog training leads and
collars available. Some basic dog training techniques
include such things as getting your dog to learn and become
accustomed and comfortable with wearing a collar and lead, to come
when called and to be relied on to wait on command.
Advantages of successfully employed dog obedience
training techniques includes helping to establish the human
position of pack leader. Behavioural training will teach the dog
things such as basic good manners, how to behave around other people
and in social situations and how to walk on a lead in the correct
manner.
House training a dog is likely one of the first
areas of behavioural training that will require to be addressed.
Poorly trained dogs may exhibit certain bad habits which asside from
causing annoyance could also actually be dangerous; a dog will
typically afterall have to deal with a range of experiences
including knowing how to behave around children, how to play with
other animals, how to behave when meeting new people and strangers,
to deal with car journeys and to develop it's own road sense.
Once one knows how to train a dog one would probably wish to
also tackle dog obedience training whereby your dog will learn how
to perform specific activities and what is expected of him or her.
They will be taught various skills such as walking to heel, to sit,
to stay and to fetch. Dog
training equipment may aid some of these teaching tasks. It may
require some patience, and a dog who appears to be being disobedient
may just simply be acting out of puzzlement.
Generally,
perseverence and time needs to be taken to teach the dog new
commands, afterall, it cant do what the owner wants unless it
actually knows what the owner expects of it to begin with. A dog
should be praised when it obeys a command and, typically, edible
treats are a good way of showing your dog you are pleased with it.
Eventually, treats can be decreased until the dog obeys commands
without needing to be bribed to do so. Training should be kept fun
for the dog. If in any doubt about how to train a dog you should
consult a trained professional.

equipment available is a variety of dog

include remote dog training collars as well as what
are known as anti bark collars. The anti bark dog
collars are available in different types which include
vibrating collars, spray collars, ultrasonic signal anti
bark collars. There are also what are known as shock
collars.

Remote Dog Training Collars

eBay for:
Remote Training Collars
Spray Collars
Ultrasonic Collars
There are an assortment of remote
dog training collars on the market. The remote dog
collar will be typically activated via a hand held device
held by the person training the dog. In the case of a dog spray
collar once the remote unit is activated it results in a burst of
spray, usually of water, citronella, lemon or air.
It seems
there may also be some remote dog training collars
units which are available which may have a selection of seperate or
combination settings including vibration, spray, ultrasonic signal
and also shock. The shock settings (where included) it seems may not
necessarily have to be used on the unit even if they are included,
but you would need to clarify that for yourself beforehand, whether
or not that it is the case if you plan on purchasing one of those
types of remote dog collar units. It might also be that at times
some remote dog collars are described as dog shock collars in item
listings but may actually be vibration collars or even
ultrasonic collars, again one would need to clarify those sorts of
details before buying. If in any doubt you should be sure to check
before hand that the specifications and suitability of any unit
meets yours and your dogs requirements.
In the case of a
remote dog spray collar the idea behind it seems to
be for the spray to act as a distracting surprise to your dog
instead of an unpleasant feeling, to interrupt the dog momentairily
from what he or she is doing so that the dog once again can be
receptive to your dog training techniques and commands. We have read
that dogs make better and quicker progress when they are being
trained by reward rather than punishment, and that a remote
dog spray collar can interrupt the bad behaviour instead of
punishing it.

Ultrasonic Training
Collars Among the dog
training products and dog
training equipment available there may be various anti bark
collars which are available for use in order to try to stop dog
barking At the same time it should be noted that it can also be
natural for a dog to bark when excited, frustrated or bored for
instance. Similarly, when the dog is in guard dog mode it may want
to convey a warning in the form of barking when visitors arrive.
Other reasons a dog may also bark include to gain attention, or
maybe out of fear or anxiety, or it may even be a sign that the dog
is unhappy over something. It would seem neccessary
then if one is unsure in any way to find out before using
one if an anti bark dog collar is an appropriate
option to stop dog barking depending on the particular circumstances
and situations in which the barking occurs. A professional should
hopefully be able to advise you further on the best dog training
methods to use in such situations if you have any doubts or are
in any way unsure.
Perhaps you have already consulted a
professional and are satisfied you wish to purchase an anti
bark dog collar. If this is the case you will either
already know, or need to decide on which particular type to go for.
Among the types of anti bark collars available you may find
anti bark spray collars, anti bark collars which
vibrate and the ultrasonic type of anti bark dog collars. Ultrasonic
refers to the collars making a sound (ultrasound) which is above the
levels of normal human hearing. In such instances the ultrasonic anti
bark collar emits a frequency which will only be audible to the
dog, the dog in turn associating the sound being triggered by it's
barking. The dogs barking can activate the anti bark
collars generally by either microphone or vibration. Some
collars can employ both sound and vibration triggers together to
reduce the chances of any extraneous noises triggering the collar
inadvertently.

Clickers Another dog
training technique is that of dog
clicker training. Clicker training for dogs is intended to be
done by way of positive reinforcement, providing a means of precise
and clear communication between the dog and it's owner or trainer.
The clicks are made using the dog clicker at the
exact time the dog is exhibiting the required behaviour or task and
may be followed up with an edible treat, favourite toy or game The
dog associates the behaviour or action with the sound and that
inturn with the treat. and is eager to work hard for more rewards.
Gradually the dog clicker is phased out as hand
signals are introduced in its place.
