Training is a bonding experience between a trainer and their dog, not simply executing commands , such as teaching a dog to sit or drop. Dog training is teaching a dog to understand certain sounds that an owner will make and teaching the dog what they mean and how to do them. To get this result a trainer must understand to some extent how a dogs mind works. If a dog has no bond with a handler it is less likely to listen to and respect this person, and will see no need to obey a command unless it receives some form of reward such as praise/food/play. This tells us that dogs don’t follow commands simply to make someone happy, a dog will respond to a command to make itself feel good. In order to get this result, one must begin training with bond building exercises such as controlled play, feeding and walking under low level distractions. This will gradually build a bond between a handler and its dog, making it a great companion and friend. Although building a relationship with your dog begins by teaching it the basic foundation of how a handler trains his/her dog, it is not the only sole way to get results.
