As soon as the <strong>trainer<\/strong> arrives, he suddenly becomes a model dog!\u201d It&#8217;s one of the most common questions we hear in <strong>dog training<\/strong>. And the answer isn&#8217;t that our <strong>dog<\/strong> \u201crespects the trainer more\u201d. Usually they have simply learned very clearly what that particular <strong>communication<\/strong> means.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>The trainer doesn&#8217;t have magic powers<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<p>A good <strong>dog trainer<\/strong> has learned to notice very small details: the moment the dog looks, the distance from a trigger, the timing of the reward, the way a cue is given and, above all, when to ask for something and when not to.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>dog training<\/strong>, timing plays a huge role. Sometimes a difference of just a few seconds can completely change what the <strong>dog<\/strong> understands from what we&#8217;re asking.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>dog trainer<\/strong> also has an important advantage: they don&#8217;t bring along all the everyday habits we have.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Our dog has learned us, too<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A <strong>dog<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t only learn commands. They also learn their human.<\/p>\n<p>They may have worked out that when we say \u201ccome\u201d for the third time, it probably isn&#8217;t that important to come the first time. Or that when we say \u201csit\u201d while holding the bowl, they&#8217;ll get it in the end even if they don&#8217;t sit.<\/p>\n<p>They don&#8217;t do it out of stubbornness. They have simply learned, through our everyday interactions, which things have consequences and which don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>A lesson is one thing, everyday life is another<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In <strong>dog training<\/strong> we may work on a behaviour in a quiet environment, with clear cues and very precise timing.<\/p>\n<p>Then we go home and ask the <strong>dog<\/strong> to do exactly the same thing while we&#8217;re cooking, talking on the phone, the doorbell is ringing and there&#8217;s a whole world of distractions around them.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense that they struggle.<br \/>That&#8217;s also why <strong>puppy training<\/strong> and <strong>dog training<\/strong> shouldn&#8217;t be limited to the lesson with the <strong>trainer<\/strong>. The behaviour needs to be gradually transferred to different environments and situations.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Basic obedience needs repetition<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Basic obedience<\/strong> isn&#8217;t simply about the <strong>dog<\/strong> learning the words \u201csit\u201d, \u201cstay\u201d and \u201ccome\u201d. They need to learn what these words mean when <em>you<\/em> use them, in different environments and with different levels of distraction.<\/p>\n<p>If, for example, the <strong>dog<\/strong> performs a command perfectly at home, that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re ready to do it with another <strong>dog<\/strong> walking past.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dog training<\/strong> is built step by step. From easy to difficult, from few distractions to more.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>The goal isn&#8217;t for them to listen to the trainer<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>And here lies perhaps the most important part.<br \/>The <strong>dog trainer<\/strong> isn&#8217;t the person who should be able to handle your <strong>dog<\/strong> better than you forever.<\/p>\n<p>Their role is to teach you how to communicate with your dog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dog training<\/strong> should give you tools you can use in your everyday life, while <strong>puppy training<\/strong> should build a <strong>cooperative relationship<\/strong> between you and your <strong>dog<\/strong> from early on.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Basic dog training isn&#8217;t just commands<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>Basic dog training<\/strong> is important. We want our<strong> dog<\/strong> to respond to their name, to come when called, to walk with us, to wait and to communicate with us.<\/p>\n<p>But <strong>basic dog training<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t mean much if it stays in a quiet room and doesn&#8217;t carry over into real life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Socialisation<\/strong>, coping with stimuli and the ability to stay functional in different environments are just as important parts of <strong>dog training<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>You need to become the important person<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If your <strong>dog<\/strong> listens to the <strong>trainer<\/strong> but not to you, it doesn&#8217;t mean you need a \u201cfirmer hand\u201d. You most likely need more practice, better timing and greater consistency.<\/p>\n<p>Play with them. Reward them when they get something right. Practise <strong>basic obedience<\/strong> at different times during the day. Learn to recognise when they&#8217;re ready to respond and when the environment is too difficult.<\/p>\n<p>And above all, make <strong>training<\/strong> part of your relationship, not a series of commands they have to follow.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Training continues after the trainer leaves<\/h3>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The lesson with the <strong>dog trainer<\/strong> is only one part of the process.<\/p>\n<p>Real <strong>dog training<\/strong> happens in everyday moments: on walks, at home, during play, when a visitor arrives, when you see another <strong>dog<\/strong> and when you ask your <strong>dog<\/strong> for something and they choose to work with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basic obedience<\/strong> becomes truly useful when it can be applied in real life.<\/p>\n<p>And <strong>puppy training<\/strong> is truly successful when the <strong>puppy<\/strong> doesn&#8217;t just learn to follow commands, but learns that working with you makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>So, the next time you think \u201cwhy does my dog listen to the <strong>trainer<\/strong> and not to me?\u201d, remember this:<br \/>You don&#8217;t need to become a better <strong>trainer<\/strong> than the <strong>dog trainer<\/strong>.
