Basic Obedience Class – 5 Benefits of Obedience Training – Eazy Dog Training
Obedience training is all about teaching your dog basic commands, how to socialise and how to behave in different situations. This can be achieved in one of three ways: by enrolling your dog in a quality basic obedience class , by working with a qualified dog trainer, or doing it yourself. Reliable obedience will make living with your dog more enjoyable and less stressful, and your dog will learn impulse control and self-confidence and therefore be happier.
Better Control
Basic commands and manners all dogs should know include sit, come, drop it, leave it, wait and walking on a loose lead. These commands help you better manage your dog as he encounters different situations. They also help your dog to understand what is expected of them. Basic obedience helps to keep your dog safe and make it easier for you to control him when on a walk or at the dog park. My basic obedience class teaches your dog to greet people and other dogs in a calm, polite way. This way it’s possible for you to take your dog to dog-friendly public parks, events and businesses, or bring him along on hiking and camping outings. It also eliminates the need to lock your dog away from guests when they visit your home.
Basic Obedience Can Save His Life
Dogs are animals and can be unpredictable. Even a well behaved dog could bolt if scared. A dog that will return to you when called can make the difference in a dangerous situation, like running out in front of an approaching car or racing out the door.
Basic Obedience Class Helps You Understand Your Dog
Basic obedience class teaches you to better understand your canine companion. And it’s a great opportunity to spend quality time with your dog.
Develops a Stronger Bond
Training a dog builds a strong bond. A well trained dog with good manners is more manageable, relaxed, content and confident. According to research, dogs that have obedience training pay attention to their owners, which reduces stress on both sides and creates a loving relationship with your dog.
Provides Important Mental Stimulation
Obedience training provides your dog important things he needs, such as mental stimulation, exercise, quality time alone with you and having a job. This is very important especially if you have a high energy working dog, such as Kelpie, Border Collie or German Shepard.
