What kind of training has the dog received?

When considering adopting a dog, it’s important to know what kind of training the dog has received. Here are some basic training areas we make sure we cover with all our dogs:

1. Basic obedience training: This includes commands such as sit, stay, come, and heel. A dog that has received basic obedience training is typically easier to manage and more well-behaved.
2. House training: This refers to the process of teaching a dog to eliminate in the appropriate location, such as outside or on a designated puppy pad.
3. Socialization: This involves exposing the dog to a variety of people, animals, and situations to help them become more comfortable and confident in different environments.
4. Leash training: This involves teaching the dog to walk calmly on a leash without pulling or jumping.
5. Behavioral training: This may include addressing specific problem behaviors, such as aggression, anxiety, or excessive barking.

When considering adopting a dog, it’s important to ask the shelter or rescue organisation about the dog’s training history. A dog that has received training is typically easier to manage and more well-behaved, but it’s also possible to train a dog if it has not received much training. If you are adopting a dog that needs more training, it’s essential to work with a professional dog trainer or behaviourist to ensure that you are using the right techniques and addressing any specific issues.
