Summary

A few years ago, I decided to enroll my unruly dog in an obedience school. What I quickly realized was that the one who needed training was me.
Dog obedience schools teach you how to train your dog to behave properly. It's common for dog owners to bring their puppies to these schools during the initial phases of training. These sessions usually occur in small groups, focusing on both the dog’s behavior and educating the owner on effective training, appropriate scolding, and praising techniques.
In reality, a professional dog trainer primarily instructs the owner on how to train their dog. While you can send your dog to a training school alone, it's crucial for the owner to learn skills to reinforce what the dog learns. Attending classes together with your dog strengthens your bond and understanding as a team under expert guidance.
Everyone who interacts with the dog should participate in the training to maintain consistent methods and commands. Otherwise, inconsistencies might confuse the dog.
There were times I wanted to quit because altering my behavior proved more challenging than changing my dog’s. I had to learn to praise more and scold less, which was eye-opening.
What surprised me the most was that my perspective shifted beyond just how I interacted with my dog. I realized I needed to change my approach to interacting with people as well. This realization was a significant eye-opener and not easy to accept. Looking back, I can confidently say that attending that dog obedience school transformed my life. It changed how I relate to both dogs and people.
If you're uncertain about joining a class with your dog, take the leap. You won’t regret it.
Thank you for your time.
