Whether you are a new pet owner or you have had a pet in your home for some time, you know how delightful, and frustrating, owning a pet can be.

The happiness of bringing a new pup or a big dog into your home can be insurmountable. After all, the relationship like the one that is born between you and your dog is quite unique and not like the relationship developed between you and other people. Dog has been man's friend since history and man has started to train dogs ages before. From time to time, new dog training tips were discovered. And now, in this world wide web, there are numerous ebooks and articles related to dog training. Here, in this series, I present before you some dog training tips from my part.

First of all we have to look into the characters of a dog. A dog can provide uncompromising love, tons of fun and entertainment, as well as true and genuine friendship. Also, a dog can provide uncompromising messes, tons of destruction, and a genuine nuisance! It is to avoid the second case we generally prescribe a Training series for our dog. And with some real good training methods and training lessons, the dog would miraculously behave in the right manner.

Is there a method to ensure that your dog behaves in the manner of the first case described above? There would be an answer popping in your mind.If you think the answer is "correct breed" you are almost there. Not completely correct though. Alright, I agree, breed does play a role in a dog's overall behavior. But more than just the right breed, the major factor in the dog's behavior is based on the training he receives. So now you know the importance of dog training. Yes, it is training that counts and it's training tips that I am discussing here.

The Benefits of Training
The modern day people are extremely busy; that something everyone agrees with. You might not be one among them, but let us imagine that you are! Some days, there just doesn't seem like enough hours to take care of yourself, let alone a dog! Let me tell you, if you own a dog- you must spend some time training it and taking care of it! The time that you spend training your dog will always benefit you and your relationship for long years to come.

According to Sharda Baker, an expert in dog training field, there are five main benefits of training:
1. It builds a relationship.
2. It corrects behavioral problems.
3. It stimulates intellect.
4. It encourages inclusion.
5. It saves time.

Now let's get into the details of each benefit in further detail.

1. Training Builds a Relationship.
Let me make myself clear about this dog training fact: If you think there is a more better way to involve in a good relationship with your dog than through the process of training, you are WRONG. One big myth many people believe in is that training a dog starts from the day your pup rises out to be a big stubborn dog or from the date he started to chew off your shoes or the time when the dog started barking at visibly no one or nothing! All wrong! All wrong! You must start the dog training lessons on the very first (or at least, the second)day of adopting your dog! That is a must for easy dog training. More time you take to get started, more difficult it is to train your dogs!

There is another fact you need to know. From the day you adopt your dog, he is watching you. Literally spying every actions you make. Yes, dogs are one of the most observational creatures and this character goes regardless of which breed a dog belongs to. The dog you just adopted spies on you and at the same time it learns things from your actions. He checks for any matching basic characters with him and his master and learns from the methods his master react to his actions. The creature looks to you for guidance, food, warmth, comfort, and obviously, for playtime.

2. Training Corrects Behavioral Problems.
Let us first get acuiated with some problems that might sound familiar. Barking at anyone or no one. Going recklessly mad at a cat that walks by the front window, chewing up your favorite shoes, scratching pillows, digging through your vegetable garden, pooing everywhere, bolting out of an open door...do any of these actions look familiar? Is there a need to get acquainted with these problems? Well, if you own a dog that is not well trained, you will see these scenes right inside your house! Almost every day and every hour!

Now- how in the name of heaven could you prevent all this menace? Simple. The thing you need is 'trust'. It is the sole quality that bonds you with your dogs. It is the supreme quality that gives you the authority to COMMAND your dog. If your dog completely- I really stress- COMPLETELY trusts you- he/she will be on his best behavior and will be trying to obey you at any cost! And like this, you can teach him how to correct all those behavioral problems I have mentioned above.

3. Training Stimulates Intellect.
Curiosity kills the cat. That doesn't mean that dogs are not curious. In fact, many dogs are at least a thousand times more curious than a cat! Once a dog gets exposed unusual smells, sights, and sounds, dogs can't help but want to explore. There is nothing you can do to prevent this or completely avoid it. It's in their blood- it is their nature! Many dogs are seemingly stupid- they simply put their tongue out and pant the whole day, or they even lie down and gnaw on anything like rats- some may even resemble the cartoon character Droopy! And we take them as dumb creatures good for nothing. But that's not IT! As an owner of the Droopy Dog, one must realize that they have got a good potential for learning and they have been gifted with a great brain. But they simply do not use it. Most dogs have the capacity to be very intelligent. But, they need to be stimulated first, and that stimulation comes from YOU and only YOU! Only if they are trained and motivated in the right way, they will be able to learn more and there by, increase their quality of life. One of the best benefits of training is the gift of proper motivation for stimulating your dog's intellect.

4. Training Encourages Inclusion.
What is inclusion? We might ask; but before that let me introduce you to this concept: "Inclusion" is the foremost guardian of a dog's security. It is my concept and my theory, you might not agree with it. What ever it is, let us take a quick glance: The day your dog was born, hee needs to be included. It is a 'humanish' character. And there is no reason that this character can't be applicable to dogs. I myself have seen many cases where dogs who doesn't have the feeling of 'inclusion' faces many problems including many depression related and behavioral problems. Some might lead to psychosomatic diseases.

The gist of 'inclusion' is that not only you but also all the members around the house are supposed to take care of the dog. Not that everyone must train the dog, but at least try to pay some attention to him/her. The dog should feel that the place where he sleeps is his home. The dog must feel that he too is a part of the family!

5. Training Saves Time and money.
This is relative. I mean, there is no limit to how much time you can save! If you train your dog, you can actually save a lot of time on the aftermaths. Invest time in dog training now and the results will be stunning. If your dog creates a huge mess, you can save the time you spend for fixing up once you have the dog in your command. It is great right? Imagine: If your dog dug up your gardens everyday- you will never have to clean the mess once your dog is trained! If he chews stuff like pillows and slippers/ shoes: you can save your money (and some time). There are more examples, but let me wind up with these. I hope you really enjoyed this.
