PetLifeRadio.com - Teacher's Pet - Episode 62 TRAINING SESSION #21 -- Parlor Tricks -- Just for the Fun of It -- Part 2

Training behaviors to help your canine companion become a well-mannered pet is necessary. Yet, training should not end with the basic commands such as sit, stay, down and more. Once your dog understands that training can be fun, you can teach him tricks that can be practical or just for fun. There is nothing more entertaining to children than to see dogs perform tricks. Also, if you are thinking about getting your dog certified as a pet therapy dog, tricks will come in handy and are always a hit at the hospital, school or nursing home. In today’s session, we will teach your dog a few fun tricks to show off to your guests!

Teacher's Pet focuses on command training - and command training is as simple as (and as complicated as) communicating clearly with your dog. Dog's aren't born understanding what sit or come means. Every single thing your dog understands about a command - both the good and the not so good - he learned from a human, probably you! So, if your dog doesn’t obey as you would like, guess who has to change? You do - your dog can change but you have to change first. At Teacher’s Pet on Pet Life Radio, obedience training is something to do with your dog, not to your dog and it is fun for both ends of the leash so - give us a try!
