It’s easy to assume that Puppy Training Classes in Chicago are geared towards a pet. While this is true to some extent, a lot of the learning that takes place is done on the part of the owner. An owner needs to know how to show a puppy that he or she is in charge, how to correct negative behaviors, and prevent future issues.
Owner is in Control
From the very beginning, it is important that an owner establishes that he or she is in control. This is a real focus of Puppy Training Classes in Chicago. Why not establish this from the start of the relationship? While it is necessary to create this dynamic for the puppy, many times it is the owner that is not holding up to his or her end of the deal. Instead of being in charge, owners often want to let their puppies run free and get away with all sorts of behaviors that may seem cute now but often end badly as the dogs begin to age. From the start of the class, owners are in training to be in charge.
Reduce Bad Behavior
Dogs, just like people, begin to develop habits at an early age. If a certain behavior is acceptable, the puppy is going to keep doing it, even into adulthood. Puppy training helps owners to get control of bad behavior right away. In some ways, this can make it easier for a pet owner as the pet grows. Positive learned behaviors can help create a healthy pet and owner relationship. It is up to the owner to establish the rules and maintain them.
Prevent Future Bad Behavior
Behavior, when left unchecked, is going to turn negative. Because training of a puppy and his or her owner starts early, it is possible to prevent issues in the future. Owners learn how to walk the dog in a way that doesn’t allow for running away or pulling on the leash. Owners learn how to keep a pet occupied with new behaviors and skills to avoid boredom in a pet. Not being occupied can be the source of some negative pet behavior. If you want to get your puppy, and yourself, on the right track from the very beginning, Click here for more information.
