Obedience Trying to decide what level of training is right for you and your dog is not all that easy. The more time the dog spends as a member of the family. The more easily the dog will learn social skills. By this we mean the dog will have an opportunity to practice, make mistakes, be corrected, and receive praise for behaving well.
Effective training requires good timing.
This is the most difficult thing for most dog owners to learn. A critical difference between the way people learn and the way dogs learn involves the use of body language. We all have our own body lanuage, people included. Learning how to communicate without words is the most important basic skill you can learn in a good quality basic obedience class. If the instructor has the skill to teach you to read your dog's body language and how and when to react to it.
