Lots of free articles here to help you find success in teaching your dog to be a well behaved and fun member of your family.

A dog can be one of the most rewarding things in anyone’s life. Given the chance, they bring a new level of joy to any household. However, without proper dog obedience training, that joy can often turn into frustration, anger and negativity. Not just for you - for your dog as well. If he is confused about his place in the family and hasn't been properly taught what is expected of him, behavior problems will almost certainly develop.

Dog obedience training is not difficult and doesn’t have to be a chore. It should be fun for both human and canine. There’s a great deal of opinion out there regarding the right way to approach dog training, some of it good, some of it not so good. This site aims to highlight the best dog training strategies and techniques that anyone can apply - you don’t need to be a professional dog trainer to get good consistent results. But you do have to understand some fundamentals.

Knowing how your dog thinks makes obedience training much easier

Dog obedience training should be designed to take advantage of the psychology of your dog. That is, its nature as a pack animal and its need to understand who the leader is. Your dog needs this structure and will be happy and secure knowing his position in the family unit. Secondly, positive training works. There’s no need to punish or discipline a dog due to poor behavior. Instead, correcting a poor behavior and rewarding a good one will bring a much faster and consistent result. Oh and by the way, it is far less stressful for dog and human.

At aboutdogobedience.com we present techniques that follow this strategy and are designed to be simple and effective. We’ve included some basic training techniques as well as strategies to address some of the common behavioral problems that sometimes develop. We’ll look at some of the dog training equipment you should consider such as proper dog collars, crates, leashes and other basic supplies and we’ll also provide some pointers on what to look for in choosing a dog training school if you’re interested in participating in puppy obedience training. And when we see a dog obedience training book or product we like, we’ll post a review on the site so you can make your own decision.
