The simple answer is yes. Expert dog training can make your dog. When your dog understands and follows basic commands, it builds a positive relationship between you and your pet, but there are things to consider when looking into this type of training programme.
Benefits of Sending Your Dog Away For Training
There are many reasons that you may want to send your dog away for training, including:
- Your dog will enjoy socialisation with other dogs when they are not training.
- You don’t have to find the time and worry about training your dog to fit into your lifestyle.
- Your dog will receive training one-on-one with a professional dog trainer.
- Your dog will learn obedience skills and command skills at a minimum.
How Will My Dog Benefit From Dog Training?
Expert dog training professionals use different training techniques and methods. All these techniques aim to deliver a positive impact on your dog and make your relationship with your pooch better.
Training Enhances Your Dog’s Safety
While your dog doesn’t need to do the incredible acts you see other dogs do on TV, they need to master some basic voice commands to ensure safety and good manners. When you give simple commands such as the “Come” command, your dog should be able to respond.
Commands such as “Drop it”, “Leave it” and “Sit” are all commands that ensure the safety of your pup. For instance, if they come across something they should not eat, and you use the “Drop it” command, obeying that command can save their lives.
Board and Train Boosts Relationships and Companionship
As expert dog trainers, positive reinforcement will teach your dog positive behaviours that build a positive relationship between you and your pet.
When you train your dog, they will become well-behaved and obedient, which will make you happy. Living together becomes fun and mutually rewarding. Your pet becomes a companion, and you can build a strong relationship with them.
Walking Together Becomes More Enjoyable
Walking an unruly dog is not only tiring, but also embarrassing. However, with proper controlled leash training, your pup becomes easy to walk, and you both can have fun. You become proud of your dog, and of course, everyone wants a model dog that they can show off in public.
Turns Your Dog into a Dream Buddy and Roommate
An untrained dog leaves unpleasant trails behind. They will poo and pee wherever they please.
However, when an expert dog training professional trains your dog, they will understand basic etiquette, such as going outdoors to do their business and staying away from digging around the garden. Training your dog properly will make them a perfect buddy and roommate.
Questions to Consider Before Sending Your Dog Away For Training
There are some questions you need to consider before sending your dog away for training. These include:
What Does My Dog Need to Learn?
If your dog needs obedience training, basic command training or household etiquette training, then dog training may be the solution for you.
What residential dog training may not tackle and solve are highly specific problems that take a longer period to uncover the underlying issues, as the training is generally shorter and used to solve basic behavioural issues. Have a look at our other dog training services, or get in touch to discuss what options are best for you.
Do I Need Any Involvement In My Dog Training?
You need to think about how involved as an owner you need to be for what you want to achieve.
If your dog goes away for training, you won’t have much knowledge about what has happened and how it has been taught first-hand, only what your trainer has told you. For specific training, you may want to have some knowledge of what to do and how to communicate this, so it has the same effectiveness in your household setting. For basic training, however, the responsiveness typically carries over from the training setting.
Here at A&T Trained Dogs, we offer a full, comprehensive handover with our trainer to ensure you can extend the dog training at home.
Will Your Dog Adapt Well To a Board and Train Environment?
If you know your dog may have trouble being away from a familiar environment, then this type of training method may not be the best.
If your dog has separation anxiety, social anxiety or general behavioural issues that are not going to be solved with the training, then putting them outside their comfort zone may not produce effective results. It may create a stressful situation in which your dog won’t cooperate with the training programme.
The Dog Training Company Process
You will need to get a good idea of what the training process involves to ensure it’s right for your dog. Be specific, ask questions and research thoroughly the boarding and training programmes because they may or may not be exactly what you’re looking for.
What Age Can You Send Your Dog Away For Training?
You can send your dog away for training at any age. If you have a new puppy, it is usually recommended at least 7 weeks before sending them to training.
If you have an older dog, they are never too old to start training and produce great results!
