By Steven Robinson


A dog is said to be man best friend. It is one pet that is considered highly and loved by many people around the world. There is a variety of breeds of dogs ranging from different sizes to purposes. It all depends on the preferences of individuals who want pets. One particular breed loved by many are mountain canines, and as such, this article talks about mountain dog training.

Mountain canine are breed loved by many because they are a working type of pup, may help around the household undertaking different tasks, such as guarding livestock in farm houses. Most of them have double coats, and very attractive. It is, therefore, paramount that such a pup should undergo maximum training. Since most of the time, it will be around people and will be required to perform the tasks required of them.

If the dogs follow the order correctly, a compliment should be followed where the food is given. This acts as a motivation to do better next time. The process should regularly be repeated for the pooch to master this skill well. Ones this has been effected well a down drill is endorsed. It is well carried out after the sit command.

Command such as sitting down can be done during meal time. The food must be held overhead and behind the head of a dog. If it is a puppy, it will lose stability and sit down. This is strengthened by the command sit. Ones the dog executes the orders given it should be rewarded with the meal. In contrast with puppies, the older dogs rarely lose balance hence the trainer needs to apply pressure in front of the hip bone for them to sit.

To teach a dog to sit down, one requires a bowl of food. The food is held above and behind the head of a canine. This is done while commanding the hound with voice to sit down. Since this drill will make the dog to lose steadiness and sit, the canine should then be rewarded with food for obeying the orders, repeating this method several times while feeding the hound it may enhance the memory of the puppy and eventually it will follow this command every time it hears the word sit.

For satisfactory results, the hound should be fed well observing the balanced diet. This ensures that it grows healthy and strong and may not be frequent to diseases. It should not be overworked and left to regain energy after hard exercise. One should train a dog like a leader rather than an ally since treating it like a friend may not provide good results.

When expressing irritation, at the moment of annoyance one should raise the voice authoritatively. No, a command might be used. The voice must be strong enough, and the command should not be used with the name of a hound. This will relay the message of displeasure when the dog strays.

Training should be gentle but firm so as to get good results. The pooch should never exercise after a meals and sweets must be kept away from the diet. Food training is mostly recommended as an appropriate method.
