8/29/2018 0 Comments Focused Dogs Are Happy DogsSan Diego dog training experts Specialty Dog Training provide group and individual training programs for dogs and their owners based in the philosophy that the best relationships between dogs and their owners is one of mutual respect. That belief extends to everything they do, and to every aspect of training. Although no two dogs will respond in exactly the same way to training, every dog can be engaged and happy throughout the training process by attending to a few key areas.
Plan for Success Your dog’s temperament is a critical consideration when planning for training. A young dog or puppy may not be able to stay focused for long periods of time. An anxious dog may need quiet, distraction-free surroundings. High-energy dogs often get distracted when learning basics like sit, stay or heel, because they want to keep moving. Know Your Motivators Just like humans, dogs respond differently to different motivators. Some dogs will do anything for a treat, others for a display of affection. Some dogs are rewarded by a chance to play, or go for a walk. If you know what motivates your dog, you can make that reward a part of your training and reinforcement routine. Be Consistent While every dog has a unique combination of temperament, energy level and motivation, all dogs benefit from consistency and predictability in their training. Dogs will focus best when they can anticipate enjoyable rewards for good behavior, and when they know that the session will include elements that they enjoy. Get Professional Help Good training has enormous benefits for you and for your dog. A well-trained dog is happier, more predictable, and less likely to exhibit difficult behaviors. Good training helps dogs to deal with new experiences and changes in environment without excessive anxiety or aggression. With more than 45 years of combined training experience, San Diego dog training business Specialty Dog Training has the programs, trainers, and support to help you and your dog get the most out of every session.
