Does Basic Dog Training Ever End?

You may have completed an obedience class with your dog, but that doesn't mean your training is complete. Like people, dogs can continue to learn new things throughout their lives. They can also forget skills they don't use on a daily basis.

 

In short, you should never stop working on basic obedience with your dog. Just like you wouldn't stop brushing your teeth or going to the gym, you shouldn't stop training your dog either. The same is true for many of the tools you use during basic dog training, such as prong collars

 

Practicing basic obedience at home is easy and only takes a few minutes each day. To keep your dog's attention & prevent boredom, make sure to use treats that are of high value to them. This could be anything from chicken to cheese, depending on what your dog likes.

 

Getting your dog into sports is also a great way to continue working on basic training commands with a little added thrill & excitement for training sessions. There are many different dog sports to choose from, such as agility, dock diving, and herding.

 

No matter what you do, make sure to keep up with your dog's training. It's important for their obedience & behavior, and it's also a great way to get exercise & bond with your furry friend.
