Dog training is usually an overwhelming task and can make most people cringe with the idea. The constant repetition as well as the number of hours involved may perhaps seem boring, yet there are a few dog training exercises which could be enjoyable. Dogs have different personalities and the owner needs to try some methods, so as to see the responses and train your dog.

Reward training is a kind of positive reinforcement training. A part of this training involves giving commands to the dog and then rewarding on appropriate actions. One such example of such training is ‘clicker’ training. Here, as soon as the dog would perform the right action, a clicker sound would notify that he did it properly. At the start of this training, the click is usually followed by some treat. The dog would gather the knowledge that a click sound is all that matters and would help you build trust with your dog. After a few sessions, the treats can be taken out of the equation and the sound itself serves as reinforcement. Although treats are known to be great supports, excited voices or a pat on the head is equally important.

Agility is another type of training which could enhance your dog’s education. A majority of dogs, except the large heavy ones, would enjoy this fun process of exercise and it brings in a lot of discipline in the behaviour of dogs. All along this form of training, the dog is supposed to complete some obstacles in a timely manner. A few of these obstacles include climbing over the walls, crawling through small tunnels, jumping over fences and many more. The owner is required to stay with the dog, give appropriate commands and teach them obedience.
