Training Is More Than Just Learning Commands
The effectiveness of obedience training depends on a number of factors. Your pet's breed and temperament play a part in how well he'll take to the training, and how quickly. For example, a strong-willed or a hyperactive dog will require more time, effort and patience than one that's more laid back and eager to please. Age might also play a role. If your puppy is too easily distracted, for example, it might be necessary to try again when he's older and calmer.
Your dog isn't alone in his training. As you work with him to teach him new skills, if done properly, you'll strengthen and reinforce the bond of trust and companionship. The number one factor in how effective obedience training will be is you. For obedience classes to work, you need to go beyond the one-hour-a-week class and practice regularly with your dog at home. It's also important that the entire family is on board and everyone is consistent with the rules. Examples of the types of training available are below.
Obedience Training
Bitework
Bitework training means teaching a dog to bite, on command, and also in response to specific threats. This type of training is for police K9s, military working K9s, as well as protection dogs, and dogs that compete in bite sports.
Not all dogs are suited for bitework training. Breeds and genetics play a huge part in this. Most dogs that do it successfully have been bred for it and trained from a young age. Contact us for more information.
Detection
In detection training, the dogs are trained to seek out a specific odor and perform a final response to indicate the presence of the odor that they are trained to alert to. The odor can very to narcotics, explosives, bed bugs and much more!
The training and development of a successful detection dog takes many hours, and this training continues throughout each dog's career. Not all dogs are suited for detection, genetics will also play a huge part in this. Contact us for more information.
