Types of Dog Training — Which Method Will Be Effective For Your Dog?

By Jerry J. Jansen On June 21, 2009 Under Dog Training

Since you’re trying to train your dog, it’s important to understand the different types of training that are available. Knowing this information will help you make an informed decision as to the type of training you want to use with your own pet. There are naturally ups and downs to each method, so this is an essential step.

Training with rewards is an incredibly popular method. Basically, whenever your dog does something correctly, you reward the him with a treat. You want him to recognize that when he does something good, he will get something good in return. It can be difficult to be consistent with the treats, so if you choose this method you need to be sure to stay consistent.

Choke collar training is another method, though it is controversial. When the dog pulls away, the collar will have a choking effect. When they are walking correctly, it will be loose and comfortable. The thought is that will train your dog to behave correctly. Some people do not like this type of collar because it can result in injury.

Dog whispering is a training method that many people are intrigued by. It is all about communicating more effectively with your pet, and noticing his body language so you can determine what your dog needs and wants. This type of communication can be a highly successful training tool.

Clicker training is another method that is very effective, and it has its roots in psychology. Basically, the clicker will be paired with something, such as a treat. The dog will initially expect the treat. They get a treat and hear the clicker — Eventually, the dog associates the clicker noise with doing something good, and the treat can be eliminated.

Whistle training is also very popular. It is an ultrasonic whistle that a dog can hear, but humans cannot. This can be a little difficult to use, so it’s important to be trained to use the whistle so it is as effective as possible.

Training your dog is undoubtedly a difficult task, and even a little bit intimidating if you are not sure how to go about it. Examine these different methods and decide what you think will work best for you. Then, it’s very important to educate yourself as much as possible so you’re able to start a training program and follow through with it through completion. This will lead to a happy, healthy life with your dog.
