Fundamentals of Dog Training
Human and dogs have started interacting thousands of years ago. However, the communication between them is still on shaky grounds sometimes. While the human is the smarter half of the pair, sometimes one has to wonder while watching the training sessions.
While dogs can grasp and respond with the mental capacity of a two year old human, they process the information in an entirely different manner. They have a sharper and wider vision than humans and are renowned for their sense of smell. One has to take into consideration all these while training, to avoid frustration and to prevent the dog from misbehaving.
Dogs are social by nature. They function best in a hierarchy of command and active interaction. So, be prepared to devote an hour of interaction with the dog at least during the initial training period. It is better to start the training as early as possible, when they are about four weeks old, though you should not expect too much from them at that age.
