Every dog owner out there wants a dog, which is well-trained. But many dog owners have underestimated the amount of effort as well as the time which goes with training a dog properly. That is the reason why a number of totally avoidable mistakes occur which could have been done away with in the 1st place.
Dogs are definitely not furry children as some owners consider them to be. An average dog is going to have the mental capacity of a human 2-year-old, but there are not as many similarities as differences between a human and the dog. Dogs cannot follow language processing or reasoning like human beings. In the same manner, they do not understand cause and effect.
This can end up being extremely frustrating as the same command is repeated over and over, and the dog seems to reject the commands. Most of the time it is not ignoring the command; it is likely that they don't comprehend it. It appears it should be straightforward because they've displayed the right behavior many times previously, but today they are being stubborn.
That is the reason why owners dub a dog stubborn or disobedient as if it was human. A dog might get distracted while training or not relate the "come" command with the behavior of the previous training session and its resulting reward. There are reasons for this particular behavior.
Patience is the one quality that dog owners need to have. You must be ready to repeat those same commands over and over again, knowing that there are times when you won't get the results you expect and are looking for. There are many dogs that require two years to learn commands beyond the most basic to the degree that it really becomes second nature.
Don't forget that patience means that you hold your temper when what you really want is to smack or yell at your dog. It's normal to think about taking the easy route of physical punishment as the first option for altering the dog's behavior. However, this should be reserved for only the most severe situations. The dog doesn't really understand why they're being yelled at. This will not develop into trust and confidence, but instead fear.
Dogs, like humans, are more ready to follow people whom they like and trust instead of people whom they fear. It is only when they have no choice that they follow a person whom they fear. A dog is going to endure its punishment without understanding the reason behind it. And that is just one important reason why physical punishment should not be used for training dogs.
This is how not to train your dog: -Treating and talking to your dog like it is a human, and able to reason like you. -Thinking that your dog can connect cause and effect, and events across different circumstances and time and reach the same conclusions as a human being. -Getting impatient with the dog, as well as frustrated, just because they are not behaving in the manner you want them to behave, and then punishing them for something they cannot understand.
If you follow these ways, you are just going to have a totally maladjusted dog, and are going to be extremely unhappy with the results. So change YOUR behavior now instead of trying incorrectly to make the dog change its behavior.
