Dog Training : Attitude Is Important

There is nothing more critical to the success of dog training than the owner’s attitude. The mindset of the trainer is more important than the equipment used or the breed of dog involved. Nothing can destroy the likelihood of effective training more quickly than an owner with the wrong outlook on the training process.
Dogs naturally crave and enjoy human companionship. When their human companions approach them in the right way, they are particularly receptive to learning and develop a strong desire to act in a manner that will please their master. This is why a proper attitude is exceedingly important with respect to training dogs. When the owner is pleasant, the dog will be pleasant. When the owner is excited about teaching, the dog will most likely be excited about learning. Dogs can often reflect the attitudes and dispositions of their owners, a fact that must be kept in mind while undertaking dog training.

The proper approach to dog training can make the experience infinitely more enjoyable for the owner; a pleasant training experience will naturally produce better instruction on the part of the trainer and will pay training dividends.
What is the right attitude to have for dog training?
Owners should strive to maintain a positive perspective at all times and should strive for a mood that makes the process fun for both the dog and the trainer. Failure to approach training with this attitude risks disaster. The proper attitude and perspective truly is a prerequisite to successful dog training.
The trainer needs to be positive and this perspective works in conjunction with any quality training method. Effective training requires positive reinforcement, and that kind of praise and affection is best administered by someone who generally presents a positive attitude. Training should be filled with compliments, encouragement and praise.
Trainers should understand that it is possible to be both firm and friendly at the same time. It is not necessary to affect an angry or severe tone during the training process - ever. These caricatures of displeasure do not offer any more training value than utilization of a simple serious tone. A lower tone with a serious “no” is more than enough. When praising and instructing, the owner must remember to use a very friendly and happy voice. The dog will thrive knowing his owner enjoys their interaction so much and will be very motivated to learn as a result.

A dog does not speak nor understand English (nor any other language); the dog reads body language - raise a hand and he will cower - and he hears sounds and associates sounds with actions; for example, a stern “no” and at the same time a slight jerk on the lead will tell the dog that he cannot do that; the opposite applies - and here is the success to all dog training - when he does something you want him to do, lavish him with praise (and a treat such as a dog biscuit) and he will associate your pleasing voice sound with the biscuit and hence with good behavior.
Always remember that dog training is supposed to be fun, for the trainer and the dog. The idea is to make the training process exciting and enjoyable for the dog as possible. By giving a treat, the dog is especially motivated to perform.

Too often training becomes nothing more than a mandatory task. The owner does not relish the opportunity to spend time with his or her dog; the dog understands this and does not get excited at the prospect, either. In worse cases, training becomes an undesirable chore. The negative disposition and attitude of the owner is sensed clearly by the dog and mirrored. Training progress stalls, frustration sets in, and the whole process becomes further crippled.
Attitude is everything when it comes to successful dog training; a positive attitude coupled with friendliness and a sense of fun will make training a treat.
Training can be and should be an experience that is enjoyed by both pet and owner, which is sure to create amazing results. By approaching training with a positive disposition, a dog owner will even surprise himself at the quick success!
