What Are the Benefits of Dog Training?

Tim Shank November 16, 2017

Training a dog is something that many dog owners consider and the majority actually follow through on it to some extent or another. In some cases, the training takes place at home and may just be a matter of teaching your dog to sit or perhaps come to you when called. At other times, however, dog owners may feel that it is best if they get some type of professional training for them and the dog.

There is no doubt about the fact that training a dog is an enjoyable pastime. It allows you the dog to grow together and gives you an activity that helps to form a bond that will stand the test of time as well. Of course, that is really only one of the many benefits you will experience when you take up dog training. There are also many other benefits, including the following.

One of the biggest issues that many dogs face is the fact that they are never properly socialized with other people and animals. They may get the opportunity to greet people when they come to your home and sometimes, they may even be in close proximity to other pets but that doesn’t mean that they are socialized. Going to dog obedience classes gives you the opportunity to get your dog out there so that they can get comfortable around others. It also is a great opportunity for you to socialize as well and you will have something already in common, your love of dogs.

Another benefit of training dogs is the fact that it gives them a welcome activity that they can take part in on a regular basis. Training the dog is more than simply teaching them commands; it is an ongoing activity that helps to keep the dog stimulated. More than likely, you have seen the benefit of stimulating your dog through training when you get home from the session. Your dog, which may have been a little bit wild in the evenings is now suddenly calm and ready to curl up for a nap.

Most dogs are quite intelligent but that intelligence is often wasted in some way or another. They have the opportunity to do something specific, regardless of whether they were bred for it or if they just happen to have a knack for it. Dog training gives them the opportunity to use their intelligence and to do a little bit of troubleshooting at the same time. Most dogs will welcome this opportunity and you may find that they are quite excited to get out and enjoy another training session when the time comes for it.

The benefits of dog training are far more than psychological, there is a physical benefit available as well. Also consider the fact that training is not only good for the dog, it is good for the owner. When you keep these factors in mind, you see that training a dog is really the best choice that you could possibly make.
