How To Dog Obedience Trainer
How can one gain power over an unruly dog and turn it into a passive, do anything for you dog. It was believed at one time that a person had to have a special gift to train dogs to be obedient. Well this is not true. I will admit there is a certain amount of patience and attitude required when working with a dog that shows aggression. A dog is by most accounts a placid animal, but like all animals they should be treated with respect. They do not like surprises sprung on them, like when a child jumps at it face on, or if someone plays too roughly with it, or attempts to approach it with two hands aiming at it's face. If one tries to show affection in any of these ways the dog will become defensive and frightened and will naturally want to defend itself.
When a dog is on a lead he feels vulnerable and is a little bit more edgy. You will notice this when they see another dog approaching, straight away the dog will begin a defensive positioning which, more than likely will be to get closer to you by moving behind you. He is telling you that he is not comfortable with this dogs approach and wants you to help protect him. This is where training comes into play. This is the time when you take a commanding role and show him that you will not let this other dog attack him. You do this by showing firmness to both dogs. You let them know it is you who are in control of the situation and are ready for anything. Once both dogs are assured then you will find there will be no altercation.
Like I have said previously, it is not terribly difficult to train a dog. Dog obedience trainers use certain techniques and tones, they also use a certain look to show the dog that they really mean business and will not tolerate any aggression. They will also use a little reward system for every time the dog does what he is told they will reward it with either a little tasty morsel, or with a soft assuring tone as he speaks to the dog. There are myriads of books and videos out there explaining what type of approach to take when training your dog. I would advise everyone who wants to train their dog to go the E Book route. This method is by far the best way of learning how to become master over your dog. Start teaching your dog manners now and you will see he has a whole different personality.. and is only willing to please you.

There is nothing like having a pet. Particularly dogs, they are the most loyal and trusting animal of all other animals, in my opinion. They sit half sleeping, and half awake, just waiting for you to make a move, and once you get out of your chair or put on your walking shoes and coat, they are up and ready to go. They can be excellent watch dogs, and many a life has been saved when they barked to warn the occupants that there is a fire in the house. Then of course there are the dogs for the blind, what an amazing role in society they perform. http://www.squidoo.com/dogs-doing-what-they-are-told
