Obedience Training Dogs Boundary Tips





Everyone functions a good deal easier when there exists rules and guidelines to keep us in check. Whether they be laws, taboos or social rules we automatically understand how we ought to behave. Dogs are exactly the same. Just as the yard they dash around in is defined by a physical boundary, they ought to have similar mental limits so they can behave in an appropriate and proper way. In this article we will look at the importance of creating boundaries in obedience training dogs and just how we achieve doing it.

I will begin with a relevant analogy. If we put a number of fleas into a jam jar, they would, one at a time, hop out. When you put a lid on the jar, the fleas would hop and constantly be hitting the 'ceiling' but after a time will become to connect leaping that high with a a bash on the head. Then you could take away the lid and the fleas will no longer hop out of the jar. These fleas would have imposed a limit on themselves by repetition and, even thoughthe physical boundary had been got rid of, will still be conditioned by the mental boundary.

In much the same way, you should define behaviour boundaries for your new puppy when it first arrives. The most important rule when defining behaviour boundaries is to be 100% consistent. It would be useless, for example if you overlooked your dog getting onto your chair after a bath when it is all clean and fluffy and then getting upset when it hops on when it has just been rolling in the mud. The dog does not differentiate between OK if clean and not OK if dirty. The sofa/bed/chair is allowed unless there is a behaviour barrier that has been consistently reinforced to say that it is not allowed. Also, if the dog is allowed on the sofa in your home, you should not be shocked if it bounds onto other peoples' sofas when in their houses.

The same applies with what may be allowed for a puppy but not for the adult dog. A rotweiller puppy curled up on your lap while you are watching TV may be warm and comforting for both of you. However, when puppy is fully grown and you have been relegated the floor while he sits on the sofa watching television, things probably won't be quite so pleasant.

When you first get your dog it is imperative you decide upon and define the correct behaviour boundaries. Then its vital to reinforce these behaviour boundaries all of the time in a totally consistent manner for the dog to learn properly. Very soon, your dog, exactly like the fleas in the jar, will be happier without constantly creating a headache for both of you!
