Some owners, when buying a puppy, are ready to devote time walks, chatting and playing with the pet, but refuse to train animal. Believing that the dog is smart enough and does not need training at least basic teams, the owners actually practically play Russian roulette – never impossible with precision find out what the rude animal has in mind. Unfortunately, neglect of training can lead to deplorable consequences, just remember the cases of dog attacks on people with fatal outcomes. In addition, a trained dog is always at the mercy of his master, will not be aggressive nor fearful. In other words, a trained pet is adequate, obedient, with a stable psyche, not afraid of loud sounds, shots, cars, never attacking animals and people without a real threat.
Where does dog training begin?
When a baby puppy gets into the house (most often dogs are acquired in age from 2 to 3 months), the task of the newly minted owner to build the right relationship with a tailed friend. Dog adaptation life in society is based on friendliness, affectionate, but strict communication with her, acquaintance of the animal with members of the host family, other animals in the house (if any), examining each corner of housing. Almost from the first days the puppy is taken out to the street or withdraw on a leash if all necessary vaccinations are made. In while walking the kid gets used to the noise of the city, crowds of people, screams, to strangers, train beeps, car signals, natural phenomena (snowfall, rain, wind, etc.), observes the behavior cats and other dogs.
Dog training for simple teams
On the first day a pet is present in the house, the owner must to accustom a dog to a nickname. Four-legged friend should be called with calm and gentle intonation, often and clearly pronouncing the name a new member of the family (it is desirable that the dog’s nickname is not too long and intricate). The simplest teams can to be vaccinated to the baby already at the age of 2 months, they include: “place”, “to me”, “not allowed”, “fu”, “near”, “sit”, “lie”, “stand”, go for a walk. 
Despite the size, any dog should have its own sleeping place – a bed, so even the puppy falling asleep on the master couch should be shifted to his “legitimate” resting place, saying calmly: “Place”. All the child’s attempts to lie down on a sofa, chair or bed need stop, pointing with a gesture to his litter, pronouncing one and the other same team (“place”). If the dog obediently goes to the couch, not bad praise her, saying: “Well done!”. Sometimes as you can give encouragement to a treat (boiled and chopped low-fat meat or offal, slices of low-fat cheese, special treat purchased at a pet store). You can have a tasty bite also lure the dog by laying it on the litter. If the animal not listening, the command (“place”) should sound loud and strict. You can independently transfer the naughty baby to the couch, speaking the team. The command “to me” is intended for following the dog after the owner at his call. She learns so way: the baby runs to the owner, for example, to play this time he should say good-naturedly: “To me!”. Intonation at this requires persistent, but calm, preferably to the team add the nickname of the puppy. During the walk, the puppy can be briefly release from the leash (in a safe place). While a young researcher sniffs the territory, the owner should move a few meters from the dog, letting it feel insecure. In a few minutes the animal will be puzzled by the distance of the owner and run to him towards. The owner’s task is to pronounce the command (“to me “) and slow steps away from the puppy. After successful the baby’s assignment should be praised, stroked lightly, looking in the eyes and treating. 
Commands “impossible” and “fu” allow avoiding animal pampering, saving an unintelligent pet from danger (eating food while walking, taking goodies from the wrong hands, running close to the highway, etc.). Teams of this sorts should always be pronounced strictly (in some cases even threateningly) and quite loudly, but you should not break into a cry. When an animal, for example, nibbles shoes in a house, you can select object of the game, saying: “It is impossible!”. For some time, the owner may “not notice” the dog, ignoring its affection and calls for the game. After for a short silence, you can already speak with the dog kindly, calmly stroking her. The “near” command comes in handy during walks, a puppy from an early age will understand that leaving the limits of the house, should be near the owner, not to break out or pull to the side. To train such a team, firstly, you should teach your baby a collar and a leash, at least for a short while putting them on the puppy at home. Secondly, leaving the apartment, you should periodically calmly say: “Next.” If the animal is still pulls the wearer to the side, you can slightly pull the leash to the puppy felt uncomfortable by speaking the team more strictly. After a walk (subject to animal obedience), you can not only treat a friend, but also praise without stint. The next command is “sit”. It allows you to fix the animal in a sitting position to put on a collar, examine ears or eyes, just wait for the owner while he is busy. For animal training put on a collar and a leash, show a treat, lifting it over the dog’s head. Ideally, the pet should sit down to get goodies, but if this did not happen, you can slightly press on it Croup, as if incline to landing. Not only should adoption be achieved sitting posture, but also some time spent in it (the animal does not should jump up, swallowing a treat). If after eating a dog trying to get up, you need to lightly push on the croup and hold the leash, not letting her stand, repeating the command. Lay command unlearn the next. Moreover, it does not mean the dog is falling over side, and a pose with bent hips and elbows with a raised head. You can use for training a treat lowered so low so that the dog could not get it while standing or sitting. Pushing lightly at the withers and holding the treasured piece close to the floor (or from the ground), the owner forces the dog to a lying position. Necessary fix the pose for at least 15-20 seconds, then release and praise the dog. The stand command is unlearned when the dog already knows how to sit and lie on the orders of the owner. To her to master, the owner must force the animal to accept the lying position and then show the treat, lifting it above your head animal and a little taking aside (so that the pet could not get yummy from a sitting position). When the dog rises the owner should fix the pose, saying: “Stand!”. At the same time, it is advisable to support the pet in the abdomen, without giving sit down (or lie down). The command “walk” (or “walk”) – a kind of motivation to relax the animal after school. The owner lowers the animal from the leash, pointing forward with a gesture, pronouncing the command in an affectionate voice. You can run a little with dog, letting her understand the meaning of the spoken word. Better however avoid large distances between the pet and the owner, when necessitating calling: “Come to me!”. All of these commands can be learned by puppy by 3-4 months, subject to daily classes. The owner should be aware of some important conditions. early training:
- Do not scream or beat the dog (even if non-execution of teams) – lost trust in the aggressive owner it will not be easy to recover;
- To punish a puppy, you can use a strict tone (saying louder than usual). In rare cases, pressure can be applied to the animal’s back and lightly tapping a rolled newspaper on the sides of the dog. But it is better to influence the voice;
- Do not allow excessive and undeserved affection – an animal must understand that approval occurs when the right command execution;
- It is advisable not to conduct a training lesson in a bad location spirit – the dog perfectly feels the owner’s mood, therefore a nervous condition can be transmitted to an animal;
- Training should take place daily (or at least a few once a week) – if you deal with the dog from time to time, then sense you can not wait;
- No need to overload the dog – at an early age training teams should not take more than half an hour. Tired animal quickly lose interest in the delicacies, and in the praises of the owner, begins to stubborn;
- Do not replace team words – over time, the dog the habit of certain phrases develops. Therefore, for example, the words “no” and “impossible”, similar in meaning, can be perceived completely different.
Passing a general training course
Reaching 6-8 months (sometimes these dates can be shifted to up or down), the puppy must learn the basics of training – the so-called OKD course (General Training Course). For this the owner can independently work with the dog or contact to a professional. Dog centers offer individual (when the instructor, the owner and dog) or group classes (when trained immediately several dogs under the control of the owners). Practiced and a kind of “turnkey” training, when the dog for some time lives in the center (or nursery), mastering the team without the presence of the owner. In the process of training, the animal learns teams: “aport”, “give”, “barrier”, “forward”, previously recognized teams are better absorbed. The dog is no longer afraid of shots, ready to put on a muzzle, able to be in a certain position the right time. 
The course lasts about six months, after the lessons the dog passes the passing of standards. Then the animal can go to the training course ZKS (protective and guard service), if she is faced with the task of protecting the life of the owner and his property. Alternative OKD – UGS course (managed urban dog), a somewhat simplified training system for an animal whose life flows in the city. It is desirable that the most important teams the dog was trained before 6-8 months. Best results from training can still be observed in the presence of the host. Trusting animal to an outsider, you can miss a lot of important moments – the dog learns to obey the stranger, the owner’s word will not be considered authoritative, the owner will never know the principles interactions with the pet.
