less likely to get into tussles with people or with other dogs. Another
reason is that many communities require that the dogs living in their
neighborhoods be well trained. This is especially true for many breeds
thought to have aggression and behavior problems - dog breeds like pit
bulls and rottweilers for instance.

a loose lead, neither pulling ahead nor lagging behind
> ¢ Respond to the word No - the word no is one word that all dogs must
learn. Training your dog to respond to this important word can save you a
ton of trouble.
> ¢ Sit - Training your dog to sit on command is a vital part of any dog
training program.
> ¢ Stay - A well trained dog should remain where his or her owner
commands, so stay is a very important command in dog training.
> ¢ Down - Lying down on command is more than just a cute trick; it is a
key component of any successful dog training program.

> Dog training does much more than just create an obedient, willing
companion. Training your dog properly actually strengthens the bond that
already exists between dog and handler. Dogs are pack animals, and they
look to their pack leader to tell them what to do. The key to successful
dog training is to set yourself up as that pack leader.
>
> Establishing yourself as pack leader is a very important concept for any
potential dog trainer to understand. There is only one leader in every
pack of dogs, and the owner must establish him or herself as the dominant
animal. Failure to do so leads to all manner of behavior problems.
>
> A properly trained dog will respond properly to all the owner's
commands, and will not display anxiety, displeasure or confusion. A good
dog training program will focus on allowing the dog to learn just what is
expected of it, and will use positive reinforcement to reward desired
behaviors.

> In addition to making the dog a good member of the community, obedience
training is a great way to fulfill some of the dog's own needs, including
the need for exercise, the security that comes with knowing what is
expected of it, a feeling of accomplishment and a good working
relationship with its handler. Dog training gives the dog an important
job to do, and an important goal to reach.
>
> Giving the dog a job is more important than you may think. Dogs were
originally bred by humans to do important work, such as herding sheep,
guarding property and protecting people. Many dogs today have no
important job to do, and this can often lead to boredom and neurotic
behavior.
>
> Basic obedience training, and ongoing training sessions, provide the dog
with an important job to do. This is especially important for high energy
breeds like German shepherds and border collies. Training sessions are a
great way for these high energy dogs to use up their extra energy and
simply to enjoy themselves.
>
> Incorporating playtime into your dog training sessions is a great way to
prevent both yourself and your dog from becoming bored. Playing with your
dog helps to strengthen the all important bond between you - the pack
leader - and your dog.
