As you already know, I have a “lens” at squidoo. Its a fantastic place to learn and teach fellow dog owners. At the moment I’m doing a wee bit of research in to the percentage of good pet owners.

I need your help to shine some light on the importance of training a dog. I’m sure you have an opinion on whether we should apply some form of dog training. My Dog Breeds Squidoo Lens Is Here

One fact about all breeds of dog is this. “There is no such thing as a bad dog… Just a bad owner”!

I believe it with all the energy I can muster. No dog, whichever breed you choose is born a bad dog. Not today, not yesterday, or not tomorrow.

If you teach a dog its place within your family he/she will accept what you say and do as you ask. Dogs only misbehave or cause harm or damage when they have received little or no dog training skills.

It matters not if your breed of canine is small, tall, old, young, pedigree or mutt. If you show dominance to any breed they will do as told.

Dog Training Is Based On Command, Action And Reward.

So the simple answer (as far as I am concerned), is to make your dog understand that you are the boss, the pack leader, the Alpha dog. Make them do as you want. Make it simple and positive.

Do not shout, hurt or chastise your dog. Use one word commands whenever possible. When you want them to act, use short direct commands. (SIT!). When your doggy has completed a task, use long happy commands (goooood booyyy!).

And of course, REWARD is 70% of getting your dog to understand that what he/she just did is a good thing, and so the dog will be more than happy to do it again, and again, and again!

Get this simple training lesson right, and the pleasure you both receive from completing the task will bond your dog to you like glue, which is the true sign of a good dog owner.

Dog Training Fact. Dogs cannot understand English…

Nor can dogs understand French, Spanish, Dutch, Navaho, Chinese or any other human form of language. Don’t fight me on this one, just trust and believe me. The fact that your canine follows your command when long and winded is testimony of their skills.

So. Am I right or wrong. Does this simple example of basic dog training work for you?

Do you have a better simple dog training tip to offer us fellow dog owners, or do you think I am talking absolute garbage?

Please let me know by adding your personal view. I’m trying to compile a percentage of “yes” and “no” to dog training. Thanking you in advance for your input. It may be a good idea to add this to your favourites to keep an eye on the results.

I’m sure some good dog owners will be shocked at the results that we gather between us.
