A Few Tips on Dog Training

Hi,

I hope you enjoyed watching the videos on my training of Jack the Beagle and Ruby the Corgi.

While we paid for a professional dog trainer for Jack and he even graduated with a certiifcate, we still need to continuous reinforce the commands and teach Jack new command; eg he just learned how to paw!

Importantly, I strongly suggest that you seek guidance from a professional dog trainer as they shold be experienced and can also share tips on grooming, dog behaviour, etc... which you may not find them in the books you read. This is foundation that will lead you to care for your dog during his lifetime.

Of course, you can also get hold of some dog training books or resources like videos to help you. Do read widely and then use them to guide you.

It is practice, practice and practice until you and the dog gets the commands correctly.

So you need to have time and be patient if you want to see results in your training.

Honestly, you must be surprised at why Jack does not respond to some of my instructions immediately and I emphasize so much on practice. Well, though we got Lance, our professional dog trainer, to show us how to train Jack the basic commands, we were working late daily so we only have time to train Jack during the weekends. It is not as effective as it should be if you do not find time to train your dog daily.

I hope you have found the above helpful and please do enjoy your training and practicing of the commands with your dog. Have fun during the sessions and not be frustrated if you do not get immediate results. If so, get some advices or go back to your resources and see if you have done something wrong.

Have fun!
