How to Train Your Dog like a Pro

A Beginners Guide to Teaching Your Dog Discipline and Proper Behavior

By: Jacob Michael

Narrated by: Josiah Norton

"We need to learn dog language so that we can understand what our dogs are trying to tell us, this is the secret of living a great life together”, said Turid Rugaas, a Norwegian dog trainer and author (Lou, 2019). Even though dogs are popularly portrayed as "man's best friend", they aren't anything like us; they are very different from us in terms of their needs, habits, and traits. This is precisely why it's crucial to train your dog; it builds a bridge of communication between the dog and its owner. Apart from just understanding your dog, training also helps in fixing behavioral issues and changing their wild habits into acceptable behavior in a typical household.

Unlike past decades, dogs share their lives with us in closer ways and are no longer treated as guards but as family members. A well-trained dog is well-behaved, and a dog that behaves is a happy dog. Training mentally and physically stimulates them and keeps them healthy. Just like kids, dogs also grow and learn constantly, and as pet owners, we play a vital role in this companionship. However, the term dog training is often misunderstood. A large number of people think that punishments and negative techniques are okay. Using these methods will only alleviate behavioral issues that could have been prevented with consistent training. In fact, dogs are intelligent beings who will learn without any kind of negative discipline. You'll need to adapt to positive, reward-based training methods to make this possible.

Of course, dogs aren't born knowing how to behave well, and neither can they remember what was taught only once. Your dog will lose their training—forgetting simple commands they learned—if there isn’t consistent reinforcement. Investing your time each and every day in training is as important as feeding and nurturing your pet. Dog training makes both of your lives easier. With positive reinforcement, you don’t just train your dog with good etiquette and manners, but you also create a special bond between the two of you.
