Of all the commands you can give to your dog, the recall command is arguably the most important. If the dog doesn't respond to the recall command, it is important not to punish it. If you punish the dog for not following this command, especially when they do return, this will teach them that returning will cause them to get punished. If you want to correct the behavior, instead of punishing the dog, you will want to go to the dog.
If dogs are punished after a specific behavior, they will immediately begin to associate that behavior with being punished, and this is something that you don't want. It is very important to never use physical force when it comes to training your dog. The use of force with is very controversial. The reason for this is because even if this form of punishment ends the behavior, it will often cause the dog to lose its drive. Additionally, the dog can become stressful and highly aggressive.
Ultimately, it is up to the owner or handler to decide how much force they should use when training their dog, but most experts will tell you that very little force should be used. If the dog performs a negative behavior, one technique that you can use is to quickly jerk the collar and lead the dog. This can be done if the dog doesn't follow your command. For example, if you don't want your dog jumping on guests, but the dog does it anyway, you will want to say "off," and if the dog doesn't follow this command, you will want to quickly grab the dog by the collar and lead it.
This can be done with virtually any command, and could be thought of as the opposite of offering the dog a treat. Another form of non-physical punishment that you can use on your dog is a "time out." If the dog doesn't follow your commands, you can simply take it to separate room where it can't interact with anyone for a certain period of time, say five minutes. If you want to take a professional level dog course, their are many training classes available. While it is commonly believed that trainers will train the dogs for their owners, this is actually not the case. Instead, most dog trainers will teach owners how to train their dogs.
Training classes can be useful because it teaches your dog how to follow structured commands. In addition to this, the dog's will also learn how to socialize with their owners, as well as other dogs. However, most formal training will not be offered until a puppy is at least four months old, and it has received all its vaccinations. When owners are training a puppy, while it is important for them to be gentle, they must also train the puppies with a high level of consistency. The way that the owner trains the puppy can have a great impact on its relationship with them.
