When you saw Lassie for the very first time you knew you had to have a faithful companion just like her. She is smart, strong and seems to always get her master out of sticky situations. Lassie was the reason you considered getting a dog in the first place.
And then you get your actual dog. Sure he seems loving and caring but it does not exactly fit the Lassie description of being the all-around American dog.
You are amazed by other dogs’ ability to be called on command or sit on command for that matter. Why does your dog not respect you like other dogs respect their masters?
Why does your neighbor own the reincarnation of Balto while your dog seems to resemble the hound from the Hounds of the Baskerville?
That’s because they lack aggressive dog training. Dog owners spend time energy and effort to train their dogs to become Lassie Jr. All dogs, despite their prior behavior, can be trained to become the perfect dog with the right amount of aggressive dog training.
People who have had different dogs over the years will tell you that different dogs have different personalities. Even dogs of the same breed are not exactly alike. However all dogs share similar traits that can be trained properly. Some dogs may require to be trained longer than other dogs while others can be trained fairly quickly.
Aggressive dog training, like any other school of knowledge, has different levels. Your dog will start out as a beginner learning the basic commands that they need to learn in order to get fully house trained.
Commands such as sit, heel and stay are trained at this level. Potty training is also trained at this level. As your dog levels up in his education he will learn bigger and better tricks all depending on how much time and money you are willing to spend on your dog.
When you get a dog and it doesn’t seem to be responding to training don’t give up on it. Try not to opt to give it up for adoption as much as you can. All dogs deserve a chance at becoming your loyal companion. All it needs is a little love and patience.
Remember that underneath all that wild and untamed fur is your best friend who’s willing to please you and do as you wish. In reality, you’ll never own the perfect dog, unless you’re the perfect master.
