Training a dog can be a very enjoyable pastime, and it is not only something that is good for the dog, it is also good for the owner as well. When teaching your dog basic obedience, or even training them to do some advanced tricks, having the right dog training aids can really make a difference in how well it goes for you. Here are some of the basic training items that are available, and why you should make those choices. One of the most basic dog training aids that is available is going to be the leash and collar. There are dozens of different choices, perhaps more than you even considered whenever deciding to purchase one of these items. It is important for you to understand, however, that choosing the right collar and lead can really make a difference in the training efforts. This can either be all metal or they have some metal/leather collars that are now available.įor most dogs, I would recommend a choke collar whenever you first begin training them.
Using one of these to gently train the dog can go a long way to finding success in your training. As far as the lead is concerned, you would want a natural leather lead that is approximately 6 feet in length. This method of training is often used by people who are not interested in teaching their dog to walk on a lead but rather, only want them to sit at appropriate times.Ī chain collar, which is rather commonly found in many pet food stores can damage the The dog should be walking right by your side, and if any correction is necessary by pulling on the lead, leather can help to ensure the dog's safety. Many times, the dog will naturally sit at this point at which time you can reward it with the food and a hearty "good boy".Īnother method of training your dog to sit uses the same basic idea, but instead of pulling up on lead, you would gently guide his rear down into the sitting position with your hand. You can also gently pull up on the lead at this time in order to keep the dog in position.
At this point, hold the food in front of his nose and as you use the command "sit", lift the food so that the dog's head follows it. Have your dog stand directly in front of you, holding the lead over his head. This would include some small pieces of food, a comfortable gentle lead or choke collar and a leather lead that is approximately 6 feet long. The first thing that you should do is to gather the training equipment necessary for this.
