What is Dog Obedience Training
Dog obedience training is a type of training that focus on teaching your dog to listen and obey your commands. This training improves your relationship with your dog and keeps them safe and happy. Teaching your dog to stop means if you have them off lead, you can get them to stop if they are at risk of entering a dangerous situation, such as a road.
Obedience training also discourages unwanted behaviours such as biting, jumping, aggression, and excessive barking. We can even help your dog if it is experiencing anxiety so that they are a happier dog.
Obedience training helps your dog to behave, which improves your relationship, makes it easier to take your dog out in public, and results in a happier dog.
When to Start dog obedience training
The ideal time to start dog obedience training is as early as possible. Dog training and obedience involves learning good behviours, which is easier when a dog is younger and destructive behaviours have not had a chance to take hold. We recommend starting obedience training from the age of four months (18 weeks). If you are interested in taking your dog's training further, you can enroll them in obedience training at four months and guard dog training once they are one year old. Alternatively, they can undertake all of their training at one year old.
Why Dog Obedience Training is Essential: A Stronger Bond Through Training
Good communication is essential for any relationship, including with your dog. Obedience training improves communication and the relationship with your dog. This training teaches your dog to listen and obey simple commands. It also discourages unwanted behaviours such as biting, jumping on people, and pulling the washing off the line. When you can control your dog more efficiently, taking them places such as for a walk or to a dog-friendly cafe and spending quality time with them is more manageable.
The risk is that, without obedience training, your interactions with your dog focus on their unwanted behaviours rather than enjoying their company.
Training also helps your dog be happier and enjoy your relationship more, strengthening your bond.
Our Dog Obedience Training Programs: Training Solutions for All Dogs
We offer different types of obedience training to suit your dog and your requirements for your dog.
On-leash obedience dog training: it helps your dog behave well on a leash, making outings and walks more enjoyable. Being able to go for walks benefits the health of you and your dog.
Off-leash obedience dog training: this can be completed once your dog knows how to behave on the leash and you are comfortable controlling it.
Basic obedience dog training: it is the fundamentals of training and incorporates teaching your dog how to learn to obey basic commands. This beginner obedience dog training is the perfect place to start your dog's training journey.
Advanced obedience training: this can be completed once the dog has completed basic training. Advanced training may include forms of guard dog training.
Our trainers are all professionals who use the proven techniques the Guard Dog Training Centre has developed over the past 40 years. They emphasise patient and firm training based on love, dedication, and rewarding good behaviour. We do not engage in harsh training methods.
