A new puppy in the house is always a pleasure - that clumsy bundle of fur that looks up at you with his big 'butter wouldn't melt' eyes. He happily plays tug-o-war with you, makes you laugh when tumbles over his own feet and chases just about anything that moves.

Yes, puppies are gorgeous. But there's also another side to the story. They pee on the carpet, chew the furniture and as soon as you open the front door, out they run, straight into the road narrowly missing being hit by a car. Puppies can - and indeed do - bring turmoil to a home.

There are dogs that do not have bad behaviors, and even if their owners are trying hard to teach them to obey some simple commands, these dogs are hardheaded. Chances are, many owners would just dump them to dog pounds because they are already fed up, and could no longer understand the behavior anymore.
These things could have been avoided if obedience training was used and implemented. Most obedience training in dogs is used to create a groundwork from which the dog and his master will learn how to effectively correspond to each other.

There are many different styles of dog training, and finding the one that works best for you is important for creating a dog that is a talented, loyal and faithful member of the family. All successful methods of dog training work to reinforce the relationship between dog and handler, and the foundation of any successful training program is getting the respect of the dog. Fortunately, dogs are wired by nature to seek out leaders, and to follow the direction of those leaders.
