Behavior dog training|Understanding - The Key in Dog Training Basics
Throughout the history, dog has played many important role, be it in war, or work dog, companions, and now even work for the police.
Yes, we all know, dog can't talks like human, but then, we can't talk like dogs either, could we?
As I said before, communication is the key when it comes to 2 individual or more when they want to work together.
To establish a good communication though, we have to understand what each other say and feel.
When it comes to barking or growling, dog does express their feeling through it.
The next steps is to identify what kind of attention they want, are they asking to play? or are they hungry? or did they found something suspicious? What you can do next is to look at the direction their eyes are pointing and follow them.
Imagine, if you are a dog, and you have a master who work outside everyday for around 8 hours a day, while leaving you at home with nothing to do, will you be bored? Of course you will.
Some of them even put dogs in a ""jail"" or as many human define it: ""training crate"".
Well, now you know the reason.
How to identify that, you might ask.
Now when it comes to this, what you can do is to spend more time and give some hugs to your dog as if you're accompanying your friend.
Usually dog will do a short and loud bark to warn.
Dog are intelligence type of animal, but.
When you do something that displease them, they get angry at you.
Remember that when you run, you show fear, and that simply means you are asking him to play chase with you.
You will realize very soon that understanding is the key to dog training basics.
After all, dog is your friend, not just a pet.

"Dog Training Basics - 4 Essential Commands and Which Order to Teach Them"," After all, an unruly dog is a headache at home and an absolute nightmare in public.
Four simple commands can make all the difference.
Although opinions differ widely on this subject, a little simple logic will come to light in the upcoming discussion of each command.
In fact, the two processes are very similar.
With patience and enough positive reinforcement, you most certainly can teach an old dog new tricks.
Which command comes first is almost a no-brainer:
No
Why should you teach this one first? First of all, because it covers all kinds of behavior.
It establishes you as the boss, teaches your dog to stop and listen, and quickly shows your canine pal what's alright and what's not.
The other, less obvious reason this command should be taught first is that it's a training aid for the other commands.
"" When he or she responds, you can repeat the command you're teaching.
Down
This one may initially seem out of place, but there's a very good reason for going here next.
That can make this a very difficult command to teach and an important hurdle for both you and your dog.
Your goal in this portion of your dog's training should be to establish trust, rather than dominance.
Your dog should know at this stage that there's no threat involved in your asking him/her to assume what is normally a compromising position.
Sparky now realizes, ""This person isn't out to hurt me, and if I do this stuff right, I get hugs and other good stuff.
We're making good progress.
Granted, this a very important skill to teach your dog.
It could keep a dog fight from starting.
So, why not teach it first? Aside from what was mentioned about the last 2 commands, think about the logical order of things.
You calmly speak 4 words: ""Sparky, no.
Stay.
Alright, we're making magic here! What's next? If you've successfully taught the 3 above, this will be the easiest command of all:
Come
If you've been patient and loving in teaching the previous commands, you'll have no problem with this one.
Your reward for all the time and effort is a special bond with your dog that makes him/her want to be right by your side.
Expert trainers will tell you that when teaching obedience classes, it's harder to train the owner than the dog.
You've made a loyal friend.
Some experts will insist that ""Heel"" is indispensable.
Of course, if you plan to show your dog indoors or in field trials, there is no substitute for the advanced commands and a professional trainer.
Once you've established basic good manners with the 4 essential commands, you may want to have some real fun with commands like, ""Shake"", ""Roll over"", ""Play dead"", etc.
If so, you'll have a great head start.
I'd like to assure my canine friends that no ill will was intended and the name was used with the utmost respect.
Woof.
