Dog training: the process of teaching a dog (Canis lupus familiaris) to perform certain actions in response to certain commands which the dog is trained to understand. It is a general term which does not, by itself, describe what or how the dog is taught.

There are many methods of dog training and many objectives, from basic obedience training to specialized areas including law enforcement, military, search and rescue, hunting, working with livestock, assistance to people with disabilities, entertainment, dog sports and protecting people or property.

As pack animals, wild dogs have natural instincts that favor cooperation with their fellow dogs. Many domestic dogs, either through instinct or breeding, can correctly interpret and respond to signals given by a human handler.

A. Two MUST read books for you are Dog Problem: Gentle and modern solutions by David Weston and The Other End of the Leash by Patricia McConnell. I once asked this question on a forum and got some good answers here is the link if you want to check it out: ETA: I would stay away from the Koehler Training book, I just read it and its appauling. In general stay away from books that focus on negative training.

What do you think is the most important misunderstanding in dog training?
Q. There are so many questions asked here every day about training that just make me want to bang my head against a wall, and I know I'm not alone in this. What do you think is the most fundamental misunderstanding people hold about dog training? Ok, I am assuming that these people think they are trying to train, not that the puppy came fully loaded with excellent behavior. Although those people do drive me batty. ;)

A. There a re several that I see: 1. Only one way works for all dogs; 2. Certain types of training equipment is cruel and abusive; 3. Purely positive training (no consequences) is the only way to train; 4. The dog knows when he has been bad; 5. The dog should know better; 6. An old dog can't be taught; 7. Small dogs don't need training because they're small; 8. The best way to train is some famous TV trainer's way; 9. Dogs are little children in fur coats; and that's all that I can think of right now.
