If you're thinking about getting some early canine education, and sending your pup off to a training school, it's a good idea. Not only will they learn basic commands, but most training schools offer something that's called collective handling. This is quite de facto the corporal handling of your dog. This is where dogs are handled and learn to accept that being touched and messed with is a part of their life. This includes seeing inside the ears, touching teeth, paws, and toenails because then later down the road they are more de facto groomed.
Apart from manufacture it easier to groom your dog, puppy schools do teach basic commands. It's not hard to see the benefits of manufacture your dog come when you call it. I was driving past a trailer park the other day and a man opened his door, and forgot that his dog was right behind him. The dog bolted out and ran around happy as can be, despite the angry yells and calls of the owner. He ran around the neighborhood for some time, I just hope he didn't get hit by a car. Apart from having a dog come when you call him, if you teach him to sit to receive pets chances are he'll be less likely to jump on habitancy when greeting them.
Hard Drive
Finding your puppy trainer.
There are a couple ways to find a legitimate dog trainer. You can look online, in the yellow pages, e.t.c.. But I've found that just like any other business, getting a referral commonly works best. If you happen to meet any dogs that seem well trained at the park ask their owners where they went to class. Who doesn't love talking about their dogs? In fact beware of getting trapped in conversations and have your phone on "vibrate" for an easy flee route.
A hint that I all the time take seriously is the local veterinarians. Try calling around and request to see who they might suggest for a puppy trainer.
After you've gotten a good sized list of names and numbers, make some calls. First off find out where they train. Hopefully they have a private, enclosed yard and don't escort their training someplace like a collective park. If they don't ask about your immunization papers don't bother showing up, because if they didn't ask you, they aren't request every person and you don't want your puppy coming down with a contagious disease from someone else dog.
After you're satisfied with your phone conversation, ask if you can watch an actual class. Go ahead and leave your pooch at home and just watch how the educator operates. Are the pups having fun? Does the educator seem to work well with animals? After you watch a class, you'll know whether or not you feel comfortable enrolling your puppy.
Remember there is no wrong way for a educator to teach his pups. Some use food treats, some use clickers, whether way you must select what you like best and what feels right.
