Housebreaking and obedience training are necessary for dogs, even though they might be frustrating or tiresome. The results of failing to train a house-pet are well known: property damage, biting and generally aggressive behavior, and of course the unwelcome “gifts” that are the result of failed house-breaking.
To avoid these and other consequences, and to make sure you are giving your dog the best ability to have a happy, well-behaved life then it is important to maintain a strict parental relationship with your pet. Dog training is the process of teaching a dog right from wrong. Unfortunately there are people who think that dogs instinctively know right from wrong, but this is false. Since dogs follow their instincts, it is up to the owners to enact their dog training. The dog does not instinctively know the human rules about being allowed on furniture in a home.
It is up to owners to teach dogs the way everything works and not vice versa. Your dog lives to make you happy you need only to show him how as he will be pressed to figure it out for himself. Dog training will condition your dog to do what you want it to do and teach him not to do what you do not want. It also shows your dog how to get little additional treats along with your love every once in a while.
