Basic Obedience Training

Basic obedience training for dogs and puppies is much more than teaching your canine to respond to a myriad of commands, although that aspect is important as well. Basic obedience also serves the following purposes:

• Bonding positively with your canine companion
• Maintaining a healthy and clear relationship with your furry friend
• Challenging them mentally and physically, depending on the training regimen
• Building drive and motivation (they need to figure out how to get the reward, once they do….)

Probably the most important of them all; basic obedience training gives your puppy or dog PURPOSE, a sense of ACCOMPLISHMENT, it builds there CONFIDENCE level and prepares them for advanced obedience training as well as some genetic issues such as dog aggressive resource guarding.
