Dog Obedience Training
One of my close friends is a wonderful woman that’s attempting to parent her two children on her own. Her husband died when she was eight months pregnant with their second child. She works full-time but still seems to perform a great job in parenting the children. Her husband has been dead for eight years. During that time each of her parents also passed away combined with the dog that she had for twelve years. 2 yrs ago she decided to get another dog. She bought a terrier that is very head strong. When it had been a puppy she discussed enrolling him in dog obedience training, however the breeder informed her to wait until the dog was a years old.
My husband and I raise and train hunting dogs. We begin dog obedience training the moment they are weaned in the litter. I explained this to my friend, but she thought she should listen to the breeder. She thought it designed a difference that her dog was a terrier and ours are Labrador Retrievers. Her dog happens to be very difficult to be with. He barks and jumps up on people when they come to the doorway. She does tell him no and removes him from the situation, but he was given not one other training. When she takes him on the walk she uses and extension leash, so the dog has full control over the situation.
Since the dog is 2 yrs old and weights fifty pounds she is attempting to discipline him, and she is running into resistance. He still barks and jumps on people. Over the summer he bit a child in the hand. Her son informed her this child has been mean to the dog in the past. The bite didn’t require medical attention and also the parents from the child didn’t pursue any action. My friend thought this was a isolated incident and that it had occurred for this reason child being mean towards the dog. 8 weeks ago the dog jumped on the neighbor’s child and scratched his face. The scratches were so deep that the child required stitches. My friend decided that she required to obtain the dog dog obedience training immediately or she may be facing a law suit. The humane society suggested that she hire a trainer that makes the home and works together with the household and the animal to fix behavior problems. This case seemed to exceed the realm of basic dog obedience training.
The trainer came to the house and met your dog and my pal and her children. The trainer paid attention to the concerns after which developed your dog obedience training especially for their dog. The operation is supposed to take about six weeks to correct the dog’s behaviors. My friend agrees that she should have listened to me and started your dog obedience training when her dog was a puppy.
