This article is written so that you might be aware of the various forms of dog training aids that are available to you. The more you look into it the more you will come to discover that there are many and varied forms of dog training, so the question will arise in your mind as to which is the best for you, and your dog. It is almost certainly true to say that most people, and indeed most dog owners are not aware of the various types of dog training that are available, and that a dogs training needs do change as they age, and develop. While some dogs have never been trained, some others have already undertaken training before. Therefore, it becomes all the more essential to analyze and know what type of dog training your dog needs. The first level of dog training is the basic dog training. The basic training is meant for beginners " either a puppy or a grown-up dog that is being trained for the first time. This level includes only the rudiments " how to make a dog sit, stay and come when called. Some part of it also aims at teaching the dog to socialize with other dogs and people in a proper way. This is particularly given to puppies. And if your dog had never taken training before, this basic level is where to start with. The next level is the intermediate level. This level of dog training is not for puppies, but for those adult dogs that have undertaken the basics either formally or at home by their own owners. This intermediate type of training trains a dog to heel, walk properly on a leash, fetch something and return. It also revises the basics of sitting, staying and coming etc. Finally we come to the advanced level of dog training. You should only consider advanced level training if your dog has completed successfully the more elementary levels of training. What normally happens in the advanced class is that your dog is taught to respond to both your commands, and hand signals. Commands and signals such as come, stay, sit, fetch, heel, lie down, and so on. Teaching your dog to respond to hand signals is indeed a great move forward, and once you have got to this stage you can then teach them how to walk beside you, off the leash, and without being disturbed or distracted by other dogs and people. You really do need to have a well behaved and obedient dog when you get to this level. Now of course, we all want our dogs to learn what we want them to do, and to learn as quickly as possible. I have found that the best way to bring out the most positive results from your dog is to reward them when they get things right. Just a small treat can work wonders. Do not resort to shouting or hitting, this is unacceptable and in the long run does not work, but positive reinforcement by way of small rewards, does. Well now, this article has been a brief introduction into the world of dog training. Before you enrol your dog into any course do have a face to face talk with the trainer and find out exactly what will be taught in the course. As long as you pick the right training course you can be sure that you will end up with a dog to be proud of.
