Dog Manners for Life – Obedience Training Sydney

Perfect Your Dog’s Manners for Life

Impulse control.

Have you ever gone to a supermarket hungry and felt like you wanted to buy absolutely everything? But at the end of your shopping trip you went home with just a few things you didn’t plan to buy. Impulse control keeps our desires in check, but it’s not something you are born with. Impulse control is a learned behavior.

Children lack impulse control. The younger the child, the easier it is to see. That’s why a two year-old throws a tantrum when they don’t get what they want. Dogs are no different. Their urges to go outside, get out of the crate or play with other dogs, often override other things, such as you calling them back.

However, dogs can learn impulse control just like humans.

Basic Obedience Training Sydney

Basic obedience training is very important. Good manners make the relationship between a dog and owner a lot easier and it can even help to keep both of you safe in emergency situations. Teaching your dog at least some basic obedience is a vital part of being a responsible dog owner.

You may decide to teach your dog to perform all manner of impressive tricks and tasks, but those are optional. Basic manners training can seem either very simple or extremely difficult, depending on skill level. As a person who has competed in obedience training, I’m used to seeing amazing skills from dogs. It is truly unbelievable what dogs can do when trained. That kind of training obviously takes a lot of work, however any dog can and should learn at least the most basic and necessary commands.

By nature, your dog wants your approval. We have bred dogs to work for us, that’s why they have a strong need to please us. But dogs can’t do it without being taught what is expected of them. From basic obedience commands to advanced tricks and agility, dog training is a rewarding and engaging experience for both you and your dog.
