Training in a team and individually
Group
exercises
Generally, this is the least expensive and effective training
method. Most of all group lessons are kept in town parks, resting
places, Kennels and in the training grounds. They are inefficient
because exclude or almost exclude close contact of a trainer with
your dog. If your dog is aggressive and uncontrolled you will be
asked to go out of the group.
The payment for such training usually ranges from 50 to 195 $ per
the course during 5-15 weeks. As a rule, no problems connected
with habituation of a dog to household furnishing are solved
there, the matter boils down to execution of 5 major commands: “Heel!”, “Come!”, “Sit!”,
“Stand!”, “Down!”
Some dogs learn to do that quite well. In whole, however, training
effect of group exercises does not exceed 30-50 %. If you target
to train your dog as a guardian of your house then you had better
choose a personal trainer who will be with your dog face to face.
A good trainer wants a dog to have learned general training course
before setting about a special course. The dog is considered to be
ready for this special training if it knows the five major
commands and performs them equally well whether being on the leash
or unleashed.
Group exercises are suitable for domestic dogs with mild nature
but also for obedience competition training provided that the
owners themselves though have an idea of all this procedure.
This is the other advantage of group lessons that consists in
dogs’ getting communication skills and that advantage makes it
easy for such dogs to get along with people or other canines.
Things are only going to get worse! The approximate price is
50-195 dollars per the course.
Home training
This training is made only inside the house where the dog
lives. Such method has a number of advantages. Before all, a dog
studies to behave properly as applied to the environment surrounding
the dog and those situations being typical for namely just space.
The main disadvantage is the shortage of communication. The dog
dwelling at home all the time and never meeting unfamiliar people
or other dogs face to face when coming across them may turn to be
aggressive or, on the contrary, cowardly.
It would not be bad if during the first year of your dog’s life
you will be leaving the dog in the care of your acquaintance you
place confidence in; this will help to prevent your dog from being
much traumatized by the meetings with strange people in future.
Sometimes home training does not bring results and not only
because the owner himself does not display much perseverance at
such education. Frequent repetition of the same thing is a
tiresome business but it is the most important facet of home
training.
As a matter of fact it is neither more nor less than education of
the owner teaching his dog in turn. They both should permanently
make “the homework”, otherwise the occupation you can't get there
from here. The price quoted for that training is approx 395-595
dollars for a course.
