Dog Behavior

Training For Your

New Pet

Some of us might remember that old song, "How

Much Is That Puppy In The Window?" Even those

that don't recollect this once popular tune can

certainly relate to the experience of simply falling

in love with every cute little puppy you encounter.

It doesn't take long to figure out where the

phrase "puppy dog eyes" comes from.

Unfortunately our animal shelters, swollen with

older relinquished pets, are a sad testimonial to

the fact that too many instances of "puppy

seduction" end up in a household disaster because

well intending folks simply do not understand the

basics of dog behavior training.

Dog behavior training should the first concern of

new puppy parents. Put the crates, bedding, leashes

and food aside for a moment. Your dog behavior

training resources must be in order if you are to

effectively transform that sweet little puppy into

a functional member of your household.

Responsible breeders and pet shop owners

should take the time to instill this requirement in

the minds of new dog owners before you leave their

facility. Too often, the excitement of a new pet and

the completion of sale or adoption formalities

distracts both parties from addressing dog

behavior training as the highest priority of pet

ownership.

On the surface one might conclude that dog

behavior training is a process which benefits the

new dog owner. While this is most definitely true

from the perspective of owning a well disciplined,

controllable pet, one ultimately comes to learn that

it is the dog which benefits more from proper

training than the owner. Simply put, an untrained

dog quickly becomes a nuisance rather than a

welcome addition to the home.

Owners unfamiliar with the basics of canine behavior

and who have not pursued a path of effective dog

behavior training quickly become frustrated with

their newly acquired animal. This stresses the dog

and seriously compromises the pet's future potential

for learning what is expected of him. The

relationship of owner and pet quickly becomes a

relentless downward spiral and eventually the

animal ends up in a shelter.

Quality dog behavior training is the ultimate gift you

can give to your dog. It ensures the dog's

experience will be positive and catalyze a long

lasting, irreversible bond between your family and

their new pet.
