I know our puppy needs some dog obedience training, but we are such suckers! Our little dog just rules our house, and I know that's bad of us, but we really treat her better than anyone else in the family. I'm looking into some obedience training that we can do ourselves at home. This article is getting me motivated to do it:

Dog’s behavior could put you in great humiliation especially if your dog starts to annoy other people and other dogs. How your dog behaves is a reflection of your relationship with your dog. A home training for dogs can help you solve the behavior problems of your dog.


Although dogs are wild by nature and aggressiveness is their normal behavior, you still need to conduct a home training for dogs to teach dogs how to handle their natural behavior and behave properly in domestic environment. Dogs are intelligent creatures and they are capable of learning new behavior and habits.


Most behavior problems of dogs can be solved by proper home training for dogs. Dog obedience training is a commitment for the owner and the dog itself. You have to learn how to engage your dog to participate in a proper home training for dogs and you need a lot of patience during the training period.


To be successful in a home training for dogs, you have to equip yourself with the right training tools and techniques. Conducting a home training for dogs using ineffective and hard to follow techniques will only waste your time and may put your relationship with your dog at great risk. Your dog’s behavior can be transformed using existing effective techniques that will give you immediate results.


As a dog owner it is your responsibility to teach your dog to live in harmony with the people around him. In the end you will be rewarded with a good canine companion who listens to you wherever you go. You will be regarded as someone who takes great care of your dog.

That's a nice article. Is that your dog in the picture? he's cute. Goofy looking and adorable.

My dog kind of rules our house as well but mostly when it comes to feeding time.

He's well-behaved and he does follow us when we reprimand him. Our only problem with him is when it comes to visitors. Since he's quite big, most of our visitors tend to get pretty scared of him. He runs up to greet them and sometimes he even jumps on them. He's very friendly but if there are kids we get scared cause he might hurt the child.

Patience and a great deal of responsibility comes in owning a dog so it is much better if the dog is well-trained.

I agree with both posters above I am a sucker sometimes especially when it comes to begging for bites of food but I do train my dogs from an early age simple commands and they know what they can get by with and what they cannot. My philosophy is the younger they are trained the better. It is not impossible to train an older dog but it does involve unlearning bad behaviors which can take some time
