Tip of the Week:
Happy dogs are relaxed and receptive. Excited dogs are wired, bursting with nervous energy and often too wound-up by adrenaline to obey.
Isn't it lovely to come home to a warm reception from your pup? The bright eyes, the flopping tongue, the skipping and fussing - and that's just you responding. (Kidding)
The truth for some people is a lot less heart-warming, particularly when their need to leave home for a while puts their pet in a very sad state. When it gets this acute it's called Separation Anxiety and it can become a major problem.
Not a problem for you, however, if you have all the answers (from Secrets to Dog Training, of course).
To see what goes on when a pup gets this anxious - and how to deal with it - read our feature article in this week's newsletter.

Dog Training
Obedience training usually refers to the training of a dog and the term is most commonly used in that context. Obedience training ranges from very basic training, such as teaching the dog to reliably respond to basic commands such as "sit", "down", "come", and "stay", to high level competition within clubs such as the American Kennel Club and the Canadian Kennel Club, where additional commands, accuracy and performance are scored and judged.
Obedience implies compliance with the direction or command given by the handler. For a dog to be considered obedient rather than simply trained in obedience, it must respond reliably each time the command is given, by what is commonly known as its handler. A dog can go through Obedience training and not be obedient. If a dog is referred to as being Obedience Trained it should comply immediately with every command its handler gives. In the strictest sense an Obedience trained dog is an obedient dog.

Training a dog in obedience can be an ongoing and lengthy process depending on the dog, the methods used, and the skill and understanding of both the trainer and the handler. The level of obedience the handler wishes to achieve with the dog is also a major factor in the time involved, as is the commitment to training by the handler.
Obedience training is often a prerequisite for or component of other training.
The actual training of the dog can be done by anyone, the trainer, owner, or a friend. Typically the individual who is caring for and living with the dog participates and trains the dog, as they will be the one who will be giving the commands. The relationship and trust between the dog and handler are important for success.
Basic or beginner's obedience is typically a short course ranging from six to ten weeks, where it is demonstrated to the handler how to communicate with and train the dog in a few simple commands. With most methods the dog is trained one command at a time. Though there may or may not be a specific word attached to it, walking properly on a leash, or leash control, is often the first training required prior to learning other commands.
