Dogs are designed by nature to follow leaders, and to look for that leadership. As
pack animals, dogs naturally follow the directions of their pack leader. In the
absence of a strong leader, the dog may assume this role itself. Dogs that think of
themselves as the leader of their human pack can become uncooperative, destructive
and even dangerous.

Proper obedience training opens up important lines of communication between handler
and dog. The basis of any obedience training program is to gain the cooperation and
respect of the animal. This respect cannot be exerted through rough handling
methods or mistreatment. It must instead be earned through leadership and proper
training techniques.

Basic obedience training consists of teaching the dog what to do and what not to do.
When it comes to desired behaviors, it is important for the dog to learn and
respond to basic commands, such as heeling when walking, stopping on command,
sitting when directed, coming when called and staying where the handler directs.

The list of what not to do is also important when it comes to obedience training.
Some of the don'ts of obedience training include - not jumping up on people, not
forging ahead when walking and, not chewing the furniture and property, and not
getting out of control when exposed to novel situations.

In essence, obedience training involves establishing the social hierarchy that is so
important to dogs as pack animals. When a dog follows the master obedience
commands, such as - come, stay, sit, heel, etc., he or she is showing compliance and
submissiveness. This is the same type of behavior a submissive member of a wild dog
pack would show to the alpha dog in that pack.

As with any type of dog training, it is important that obedience training sessions
be fun and rewarding for both dog and handler. A happy, healthy dog will be best
able to learn, and keeping the dog happy during the training sessions will make life
easier for both the owner and the dog. Obedience training has many benefits for the
dog as well as the handler.

For one thing, a well trained, obedient dog can be permitted a larger amount of
freedom than an untrained dog. For instance, a dog that has been properly trained
to come when called can safely enjoy some off leash play time at the local park.
