I know I know, you probably think any sort of training will interrupt the wonderful relationship you share with your dog. Sure it does yell rather annoyingly when you take it out on walks, and you do have to lock it up during dinner parties given how it snarls and growls at your friends four year old, but that's all ok, because that's what dogs do right? Ummm... not really. Sorry to burst your bubble but in spite of not being a human being your dog too is expected to be polite. Sure his antics might seem adorable to you, you might think it's cute when he jumps up at neighbors and scratches up doors, but your dog's victims sure as hell wouldn't agree with you.
You may not like the idea of asserting authority over your dog to make him behave properly. That is perfectly alright. Some dog owners have the pathetic idea that you must be established as the "boss" over your pet. Kudos to the dog owner who does not fall a victim to this idea. Unlike the ringmaster who quickly snaps his whip, you do not have to assert your authority through aggression.
Your problem is that you have a misconception about what dog training really is. When we speak about dog training, we are not asking you to try to teach your dog to become human, to abide by human rules. Training is not an exercise to teach your dog that you are superior. What you are trying to accomplish through training your dog, is to improve his approachability in social situations, and enhance the bond that you two already share.
'What's the point of that?' you might ask. Well, here is the thing. Most of us spend the larger fraction of our daily lives toiling in office, drinking our instant coffee, reading those balance sheets. The little time we get with our family and pets we try to merge with some sort of socializing. We go to the park for a stroll on a lovely evening after work, or to a friend's house to watch a movie. If our dogs are unfriendly then on all these occasions we keep it back home, alone, such that in no time it's in no way a part of our life at all.
Much like us, animals experience feelings of sadness, loneliness, and depression when they aren't getting any attention from you and being left to sit alone in the dark most nights.
So, it seems that your resistance to training your dog has actually isolated your pet, and kept them from taking part in pursuits that would build your bond together.
Obedience training is a means of letting your dog cope better with it's immediate environment. It grants every dog an easier life and makes them easier to live with. Training your dog will give you more opportunity to spend more time with your beloved pet, no matter where you are going and who you are going with.
Now is the chance to give your dog a pat on the head and go out for your first training session. Simply teaching a few key words such as sit, stay, come, heel, and down, can dramatically improve your pet's behavior. You will find that as training progresses, so will your relationship with your favorite companion. The best of luck! - 29895
