This article will cover some basic tips that can help you train your: phobias and fears, desensitization and mental stimulation - factors that will help develop your sensitivity towards getting to know your young dog's attitude and behavior and help you with your effective dog training.

Fears and Phobias

Canines can experience phobias and behave fearfully similar to humans and have phobias in the same way that human beings do,but in most cases, it is much more heightened. Some phobias that canines can have include thunder, any sudden, loud noises, vacuum cleaners, and some canines can even experience seemingly irrational fears towards things like brooms.

Should your canine should have been owned since it has been a pup, as owner it could be possible or you to figure out what encourages him to behave in such a way. But canines that are rehoused often more challenging, as in most cases, they seem to know much less about their history.

From a pup to a grown up dog

To prepare for effective dog training its important to recognize that when a pup gets older, he eventually can experience a large cross-section of situations - frightening, maybe even terrifying. However with reassurance from the mother, owner, brother and even sisters, the baby pup can adjust itself to coping with these issues. A dog's later life relies on his early dog-training experiences, and so does his ability to judge the immediate environment, which can cause distress or fear.

If a pup has been raised in a remote, quiet place, where there is little noise, he can obviously be sensitive or scared of a noisy area.

When an older dog learns this fearful attitude, this can influence his or her sibling. Therefore its imperative to expose your pup to as many varied places and noises whilst still a pup - as this can decrease such phobias later in its life.

Should a grow up canine experience some environments scary or fearful, you can always take decisive action to change this.

Thunder can create a fearful attitude for many reasons. Initially, when there is a change in atmosphere, for example in humidity or pressure, some canines have a more sensitive disposition than humans.

Changes in the conditions of light, when the sky darkens, increased rainfall interrupted by loud thunder...although your pup cannot become familiar with such incidents, little can be done to overcome the fear of loud noises.

Some easy stages towards desensitising your dog

Try with a sound that does in fact scare your canine, and start the volume lightly, then gradually increase it.

Provide your canine with rewards or some treats and start a small game simultaneously, distracting him from your sound recording.

Should your dog join your little playful test, then do give him praise.

This process should be repeated over and over whenever the phobia is encountered and eventually your dog will become more relaxed and less sensitive to the noise.

From crying children to gunshots to fireworks, all of these can be used to aid the process.

Such noises can be found from any good music shop. In addition, you can create your own sounds to playback to your dog.

Stimulation that is based mentally, and physically

Most dog owners feel it a challenge to provide their canines much exercise. However playing with your canine is always of great value, despite the fact that you have little playing or walking area.

Depending on your dogs personality, its important for you to ensure your canine remains both mentally and physically fit. For example, border collies like to more than just walk - they are very intelligent and need lots of extra stimuli when they are at home, despite the fact that they are in your company or not.

Stimulation that is physical

When you and your dog are playing together, its often a good opportunity for your dog to be trained in some simple tasks. These tasks can provide your dog with mental stimulants that he may be lacking. Some rules for a simple retrieving exercise which can be tried in your garden.

Stage one: FETCH

you have to command your dog to be seated, and begin by tossing a ball or toy - remain about six steps from you.

As you toss, the ball, command your dog to fetch it.

When your dog runs after it, follow your dog for a few paces.

Stage two: GIVE AND TAKE

When your dog has picked up the toy, run away, so he then chases you.

When your canine catches up with you, turn his way, place a hand out, commanding him to give your toy

As this is achieved, reward your dog with a reward with your other hand.

Stage three: TAKING IT UP A STAGE

Gradually increase the distance that your toy is tossed, and practice this often.

When your canine begins to get bored with its game, immediately you must stop. As you need to keep him motivated.

Once this method has been mastered, you can start to show some new items like a towel, lead or shoe.

This game must be repeated, but when you do toss it, tell him' lead! Towel! Shoe - fetch!

Over the course of time, your canine can then collect these items whenever you correctly name them, and the process can be enjoyable or both of you.

Training and stimulating with food.

For your canine's regular routine, If used creatively, food can keep your canine amused for a long time.

Instead of just your canine being fed from his bowl,his food could be hidden in tiny portions around the home, allowing him to hunt it by letting him sniff for the food.

Kongs are a good practice for your canine to search for rewards. You can place some food inside the kong, like peanut butter, for your canine to find out for itself.

For extra stimulants, your toy could then be hidden in the house for your canine to find.

On the same basis, activity balls work in much the same way, but with dry treats or small bits of food. Placing some treats inside it could work well, as when they roll along your floorboard, the bits of food could fall out. It is also an idea for your dog to be amused when you are outside.

If you are in a restricted area, for walking your dog, or not, its a good idea to continue these activities and games as a method of spending time with him, showing that you keen to provide lots of attention.

Hierarchy

its most important or you to establish a place in a structure that has hierarchy.

Effective dog training will teach you that You have to be the alpha or dominant one.

Let your dog enjoy the submissiveness of the bottom role in the pack. The one who is dominant can take charge of the group, organising the goings on for rituals of daily life. So its not about hitting or shouting at your dog, but practicing your authority, which will reassure your dog in a settled household.

Who eats first?

In the wild, the one who rules is the one who eats first. Do not share with your dog, what you see as an act of friendliness could be seen as a submissive sign - and this will confuse the order of things.

Never let your dog choose its own sleeping place.

Bedrooms, entrance hall or corridors and not good for you to place your canine's basket.

If you ignore these two points, you are encouraging aggressive behaviour that is hierarchically based.

When your canine is still a pup, if it does something you don't want it to, you have to behave just like it's own mother would - lift your pup by the scruff of it's neck and hold until it is calmer. When this is done, put your dog down, and stroke it's shoulder. This practice will teach your pup that you are the boss

On an effective dog training course, certain programs are designed for you to help owners of dogs to manage dog behaviour by themselves.
