Dog training
Successful training is a rewarding part of dog ownership, as well as a lovely way for the two of you to bond and build a good relationship. Whether young or old, all dogs can benefit from learning some basic commands. If the basics such as sit, down, stay, and leave are what you're looking for, look no further...
What are the benefits of training my dog?
Teaching your dog basic obedience - such as sitting, waiting, and coming back when called - gives them the freedom to do the things they like to do, like running off the lead and coming with you to meet friends and family, while being safe and under control.
What's more, dogs are intelligent animals, and most love to learn, so training can be a great way of stopping them from getting bored.
How do dogs learn?
All training should be reward based. Giving your dog something they like - such as food, toys, or praise - when they show a particular behavior means that they're more likely to do it again.
It's important to find out what your dog likes and what their favorite things are. Favorite treats are often small pieces of meat or cheese. The better the reward, the more your dog will enjoy training and learning!

Get to grips with the basics
Our guides can help you with the basics of how to train your dog, but we also recommend dog training classes - especially for more advanced methods, such as clicker training.
If you have any problems, try asking a qualified behaviorist for advice. They specialize in behavioral issues such as excessive barking, aggression, destructiveness, and phobias. You can also enlist the help of a dog training instructor if you need a bit of extra help.
