Teaching Online Dog Obedience Training

By Gary Potrome


Online dog obedience training is a popular topic for new owners, and is something that most people will search for after purchasing or rescuing an animal. Behavioral problems and command issues often stem from the lack of knowledge on how to deal with these problems on the owner's part. A trainer can help individuals in need of an education on basic animal training.

Trainers who help with behavioral issues do not train the dog as much as the owner on how to train a dog. Basic obedience is something that every dog must learn if it is to function properly with humans. This includes common commands like sit and especially come.

For new dog owners, training the come command can be the hardest part about basic training. A dog that does not take interest in its owner will not want to come to them, even if they have a favorite toy or treat to reward them with when they arrive. A big part of this is saying the dog's name when it has done something bad, which it will not come to when asked outside.

The sit and down commands are useful to get the dog's attention on its owner. By having the animal sit and look at the individual before being rewarded, it is learning that focus on the owner is what gets rewarded, not simple tricks such as sitting.

Newer commands should constantly be facilitated if the animal is to remember them and continue obeying them. Soon, it will learn to anticipate the reward and keep performing the behavior until this goal has been reached.

For online dog obedience training to work effectively, it must be practiced by the owner and not a third party. Sending a dog off to a boarding facility will only make the dog learn to obey commands from someone who is not its master, and thus should be avoided. A real trainer will advise the owner on how to properly teach their animal to obey their commands under any situation.
