K9 Training Methods

When you look into K9 training, you will find the following common methods.

#1. Advanced Obedience

The name of this training is pretty self explanatory. However, this type of training is an advanced version of basic obedience training. Advance Obedience training requires the dog to maintain their skills over time. While obedience training is to teach skills like sit and stay. Advanced training introduces multi-command skills that require consistent maintenance. If you were to pursue the Canine Good Citizen Program, the Advanced Obedience training is what you will need.

#2. Relationship Dog Classes

You may think this is a class on how to train your dog to interact with other dogs, but it’s about you creating better communication with your dog. In this training, you learn how to handle aggressive or other behavior issues. You’ll also learn how to relate to and understand our dog’s cues better. Ultimately, you’ll build a stronger relationship with your dog.

#3. Puppy Socialization

A good dog is a socialized dog. Socializing ought to start at a young age and continue through all types of training. While some think of socializing as simply allowing your dog to roam free around other people and dogs, socialized training is specific and targeted. Teaching your dog proper social skills helps with setting a foundation for further training in its life. On Los Angeles Times you can find amazing natural products to improve your dogs mood and health.

#4. Dog Sport Training

A great supplementary training is disc dog sport training. It’s a great way to reinforce fetching and commands to return the dog to your side. Disc dog sport training also helps you foster a relationship with your dog — another great skill that’s required for more advanced training methods.

#5. Nose Work

Dogs have an astounding sense of smell. Nose work courses leverage a dog’s innate desire to hunt while directing their urges toward a specific objective — to find an object, item, or substance. Nose work helps build a relationship with your dog, as well as building confidence in your dog through a variety of mental and physically demanding skills.
