Along with your dog learning his responsibilities and duties, your pup is also open to learning whatever tricks and games you desire to teach him. However, before you decide to teach him a new game, ask yourself whether or not you think his behavior is cute now will be cute in an adult dog.
Dogs will “Fetch,” “Bring,” and “Give.” Particularly if you have a sporting dog that you might want to take on a hunting trip with someday, teach the “Give” or “Drop it” command at the same time you teach him “Fetch.” Or else, you will spend your time chasing down your dog to get the birds you thought you were going to eat for supper during your hunting trip!
After teaching him the basics, you can also teach him anything that works well to entertain you both, bond you, and make your lives together happier together. The more you are your dog’s teacher, the more firmly your dog will look to you as the leader of the pack. As your dog knows more, he will invite more advanced lessons, whether its lessons about what games you like to play or what tasks you want him to do.
Just like with kids, a puppy thrives on going beyond the basics. While you bond firmly to steadiness in things like meal times and obeying certain commands, you and your growing pup can also deal with changeable amounts of unsteadiness. It is in these areas of novelty that you permit your dog’s own unique personality to flourish.
Several owners find great fulfillment in obedience training their dogs. A basic obedience course is essential for anyone who is going to raise an obedient puppy, but one can above and beyond the basics. It all depends on what you desire to accomplish. Watching a well-trained obedience dog work is a delight, and in dog shows, it is the obedience ring where you will notice the real honesty of dog and owner performing as a team player
You can go above and beyond obedience into tracking, as well. You do not to have a bloodhound to partake in this sport. A puppy who has been taught the game of “Go find” can grow up to “Go find” in a very stern way. Additionally, dog-sledding has become an increasingly popular sport for dogs. Have you ever watched well-trained herding dogs work? If so, you know what accuracy they exhibit, and you can imagine the time and love it took to train them.
The more an owner learns about his/her dog and his breed, the more one will discover that their horizons are limited only by how much time and effort one wants to invest in having fun with canine companionship.
