Dog experts say that the best trainers in the world are the pet owners. Professional dog trainers may have the educational and experience qualification, but it is the owner who makes the lasting impression. Professional trainers are only one-time teachers, while pet owners are the perpetual trainers. Sadly, though, the worst training often come from pet owners themselves, especially first-time owners. They commit mistakes that are sometimes harsh towards their pet.
The worst part sets in when the pet owner expects too much from his dog. Most of these people are true dog lovers though. In fact, they have invested time, money, and effort to train their dogs to be obedient. The real problem comes when they see a dog on a TV show doing amazing tricks and they teach the same tricks to their dog; expecting it would produce the same result. If their pet fails, they tend to spank and mistreat their dog.
The second common mistake in training dogs still has something to do with expecting too much. These pet owners easily give up on their dogs; they are mostly not true dog lovers. They probably just have dogs because their neighbors have one, or that they saw on TV that having this kind of breed is cool. They normally do not spend time, money, and effort in training their pets formally.
The third most common mistake that pet owners make when training their dogs is inconsistency. Dogs have this very keen ability to associate cause and effect. If you teach your dog not to jump on you when you are wearing a tuxedo, do not expect him to jump on you when you are wearing a nightie. For the dog, it does not matter to him what you wear. What he knows only is that he should not jump on you.
Another likely mistake in training dogs is lack of positive reinforcement. Since dogs are sensitive to cause and effect, they are most likely to learn a new trick if they get a reward for doing something. This reward usually a food treat or just a plain stroking or patting him. Some people doubt the universal fact that rewarding dogs is the best way to train them.
Expecting too much, giving up easily, inconsistency, and lack of positive reinforcement - these are actually just some of the possible mistakes that you can commit. The idea is that training your dog is not for your personal benefit, but rather for your pet. When you train a dog, teach him with love. Do not treat him as an object, treat him as a living creature that can learn and can also get hurt.
