Dog training fundamentals with Gus Marnell

Dog obedience should:

  • Be taught to every dog
  • Be followed by all family members (the pack)
  • Always be consistent
  • Be enjoyable for the family and pet

Dog obedience should not:

  • Be taken for granted
  • Be done with any kind of force
  • Be stressful (on the pet or owners)
  • Ever be forgotten

A pet properly taught:

  • Can afford you peace of mind
  • Can protect your person and property
  • Can be a loyal loving companion
  • Can be easy to understand
  • Can be the best thing to happen to you and your family

A dog trained for protection should never:

  • Be indiscriminate
  • Be a nuisance
  • Have to be put away when guests are over
  • Have its teaching used as a toy or plaything
  • Be a problem around children or adults (even when fooling around)

Protection should be:

  • Something that leads to peace of mind
  • Something that can be depended upon
  • Something that is an asset to own
  • Something that, given love and affection, will be the best loyal, loving bodyguard anyone could ever hope for

What are the basics of good dog obedience training?

Good obedience is taught to every dog, followed by the whole pack, always consistent, and enjoyable for the family and the pet. It is never done with force, never stressful, and never forgotten. With reward based methods a properly taught dog becomes a loyal, loving companion and a dependable source of peace of mind.
