When a dog comes into our life we feel happy and immediately accept it as a member of the family. But, as with humans, coexistence is sometimes not easy. And, like people, pets must also adapt to the rules of coexistence. That’s why dog training in Sydney is a must.

Keep in mind that adopting a pet is a big responsibility, you really need to take care of them. You are responsible for their health, both physically and mentally.

What are the 5 benefits of training a dog?

Dogs are smart. They can be trained to recognize, accept and follow any cue. The problem is generally us humans who may not always be consistent or clear in our messaging. We don’t speak dog, so we have to find a way to communicate.

Its important to understand how your dog learns and how they communicate with you. Their body language is a clear signal on how they communicate and tell you how they feel. Understanding how they think will also help you know how to communicate with them to avoid frustration when they don’t listen to your cues. From there, everything will be easier and you will begin to notice the difference in how well they fit in to your family and how well you’ll get along.

1. Mental Health

Mental health isn’t an obvious one but a very important benefit of training your dog. Dogs are intelligent and need mental stimulation. Training with them and teaching them new things ensures they don’t get bored, always have something to occupy and grow their brains and helps alleviate some mental health conditions such as anxiety, aggression or destructive behaviours.

2. Physical Health

An obvious one is exercise. Some training such as agility or rally O or fly ball is great exercise for both you and your dog. Training with them will help them keep fit and active, and also increase your heart rate.

3. Greater Bonding

Dogs love company, particularly yours. So the more time you spend training with them, the greater the bond develops between you. Particularly as you reward them with treats, affection, play time or anything else they enjoy.

4. Helps you understand your dog

Like we mentioned earlier, understanding your dog is so important. Training in many obedience classes will help you get that understanding so you can comfort your dog when they’re scared, or have some fun with they’re feeling playful.

5. It can Save his life

General obedience is all about teaching your dog to follow your cues. Cue’s like ‘Come’ or ‘Stay’ can be so important if there’s a risk of being hit by a car or any other dangerous event. Making sure they’re well trained to listed to your cues can definitely save their lives.
