Dog training: the process of teaching a dog (Canis lupus familiaris) to perform certain actions in response to certain commands which the dog is trained to understand. It is a general term which does not, by itself, describe what or how the dog is taught. There are many methods of dog training and many objectives, from basic obedience training to specialized areas including law enforcement, military, search and rescue, hunting, working with livestock, assistance to people with disabilities, entertainment, dog sports and protecting people or property. As pack animals, wild dogs have natural instincts that favor cooperation with their fellow dogs. Many domestic dogs, either through instinct or breeding, can correctly interpret and respond to signals given by a human handler. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Hey, I'm in the process of putting together a website full of free articles regarding dog training. One of my stupid New Year resolutions. I was going to concentrate on providing tips for people with problem dogs (mainly adults, because people love puppies). The feedback I have from friends is that I should target Puppy training issues ? So what do I concentrate on - Puppies or Adult Dogs ? Sorry, here's what I've got so far, I think it's coming on : Asked by AdviceDogTraining.com - Mon Feb 6 18:44:29 2006 - - 7 Answers - 2 Comments A. It all starts with training your dog from the start,so focus on pups.A well trained puppy is a well behaved adult dog. Include advice for adult dogs as well.Many people instead of buying pups,get older dogs from the humane society or from rescue groups.The old saying you cant teach an old dog new tricks,is not true,it's just a saying.Providing some good advice for people with older dogs,it could save many of them from a return trip to the shelter. Answered by metzger52365 - Mon Feb 6 22:34:49 2006 How much would you pay for guaranteed dog training? Q. How much would you pay for in home obedience dog training lessons that comes with a guarantee of success, which means, if after 6 lessons the owners are not completely satisfied, we will keep coming back for free until you are. Please state what currency. Thanks :) Asked by Kim - Mon Nov 16 13:10:51 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. This will only work if you practise what you are taught every day, you cannot expect to learn a lot in six lessons. Do not pay for six lessons in advance, as he may use rough methods which you will object to. Answered by dorothy s - Mon Nov 16 13:50:21 2009 Are dog training (shock) collars safe and do they work?
Q. I am considering using a training collar to teach my dog boundaries. I need to be able to keep her off leash, but she runs off if I let her off the leash. A fence, even an invisible fence, is out of the question as its not my house. I've tried teaching her boundaries for the last 5 months but it is not working well. She won't respond to "come" unless she's in the mood. I want to use a shock collar but I worry it may be inhumane. Are they effective and are they safe to use? Asked by tlblake84 - Fri Jul 11 13:53:00 2008 - - 6 Answers - 1 Comments A. First off shock collars are not inhumane. Yes they are safe to use. They do not give a strong shock. Yes I tried it on my own arm before ever putting it on the dog. Properly used as a training tool they work very well for certain things. You need to read all the information that comes with the collar and learn how to use it. Then you need to set up visable boundries for your dog. Your dog must have some sort of visable thing to see to learn where the boundries are. Like flags. If your dog does not respong to the come commad or only does so at her pleasure you need to go back and do some basic obedience work with your pet. You need to have the basics down and if your dog does not come you do not have those down yet. Answered by tlctreecare - Fri Jul 11 14:24:36 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "dog training"
