Imagine that you are a child about to go riding on a beautiful and sunny Sunday afternoon. Even though you are afraid of dogs, your mother allows you to ride your new bike. Some of the other kids in the neighborhood are also afraid of dogs because somehow there are a lot of dogs where you live. However, all of her friends came over and the front yard is full of bikes laying on their backs because everyone is inside getting a present from mom before the ride.
Along the way, the bike convoy turned the corner and, you know, two ferocious dogs jumped over the fence and are just waiting for you and your friends to come down the street to where the dogs are waiting with their gleaming teeth.
At that time, wouldn’t you be glad if, by the time you reach the end of the street, the dog owners arrive in time to get their dogs back inside? Imagine how wonderful it would be if dogs were obedient dogs that listened to their master’s commands to sit and stay, so they didn’t have to be afraid of dogs.
It is at these times that it would be nice to know that people actually take the time to train their dogs or send them to obedience school or something. Because these days there is a lot of talk in the news about children and people being attacked by vicious dogs. Whatever the reason, dogs attack and that is why many people are afraid of them.
Having a trained dog is a must because training is not only good for the dog, but it can also prevent its owners from getting in trouble with the law if they bite someone. It can also save the dog’s life. Disobedient dogs that would not heed a command to sit or stay, or even listen to their master at all, can run out into the street and be hit by a vehicle.
Most dog owners would say that they love their dogs and if they love their dogs they would want to know that their dog is house trained and would listen to a command before running down the street or that their “best friend” is house trained. Not to mention the neighborhood kids who want to travel comfortably without having to be afraid of their dog when he walks through their door.
It is a known fact that some dogs are almost impossible to walk because they pull on the leash or chase other dogs to fight with them or bark constantly. What a relief it would be to have a dog that is well behaved and temperamental and a dog that no one is afraid of.
It’s not impossible to teach an old dog new tricks, it just takes a little time and the right training. Don’t get frustrated if your dog doesn’t listen or show good behavior. There are ways to end your frustration by getting or seeking help for your dog.
Here is some information that will help your dog’s behavior.
