Correcting bad doggy behavior

[jude09]

Correcting bad doggy behavior is really something that can make any dog owner go head over heels in craziness and desperation. But to correct certain dog behaviors is really one of the keys to become a successful dog owners and dog trainers.

Knowing the principle of correcting and understanding why your dogs act the way they do plays a really big part in the whole dog training or correcting process.
Your patience and composure can be maximized if you understand the reason why your dogs are doing what they're doing.

Remember your dogs don't do something bad or mischievous to make you suffer (although I'm sure that some owners have wondered that.)
Some of the principles in dog training or in dog correction are respect, patience and consistency.

Respect

This is very important for any type of relationship, whether it's between us humans or between a dog owner and their dog.
Just think of it this way; if you respect your dog then your dog will respect you in return. Take away respect and everything falls out of place.
Respecting your dogs would include; not hitting them, being sensitive to their needs, understanding them and forgiveness.

Patience

I'm already hearing some dog owners saying; "easier said than done Jude!".

Well, you are right that patience can something that's easier said than done but remember you're dealing with a dog. Your dog has the potential to become a good dog or a bad dog, depending on what you decide to do.

It's easy to just walk away and throw the towel but isn't it a bit unfair to your dog? Remember that you're dog is also trying to understand you and to do what they're told to pleaser you!

Your dogs want nothing more but to please you, isn't this reason enough to give them another chance and to not give up on them?

Consistency

I'm sure that a lot of you understand the importance of this word to dog training and correcting but let this just be a simple reminder to everyone. Consistency and repetition is really is the key in dog training and removing or correcting those nasty or annoying doggy habits.

I'm sure that many of you know these principles but let this serve as a humble reminder or a guide to dog owners who're getting off track or are thinking of giving up.


I hope that everyone who's reading this understands what I want to get across (I really hope so).
