When does dog training start?
• In the world of dogs, dog training generally begins immediately after birth. As long as the dog is close to the mother she will make sure he learns the process of waiting until it is time to eat, she will control when he will play, she will force him to stay within close range under her control. Adult dogs need similar rules as well as restrictions when interacting with people. The control of the dog this time is exercised on behalf of the human as in terms of dog training it is the human who assumes authority over the dog or if you prefer he assumes the role of pack leader.
•A leader securing position or authority is not allowed to display emotionally charged or if you prefer neurotic behavior. The right position from your side is to adopt some similar behavior. In the wild a leader maintains a calm yet dynamic demeanor silently imposing on group members a training or if you will a framework or manner in which they are allowed to interact with their environment. A typical example is a dog mother when gently biting a puppy by the neck and she carries it back to its place if it has moved away.
what is the right time to train my dog?
•The appropriate age to start your dog's training is when he reaches the age of 6 to 8 months. This time may differ for each dog as it depends on parameters such as the race the morphology and character of each animal and of course the needs of the owners.
• It is worth mentioning that dogs like people will not have the same results if they miss the appropriate age for their training and complete it later when they are at an advanced age.
• In any case, I recommend that you request an early evaluation of the dog by an experienced dog trainer.

How long does it take to train a dog?
Basic dog training takes 1 to 2 months. Of course this is related to the time available from the owner’s side, but it is also related to the dog's character its degree of perception, the degree of his socialization, as well as the education it has received earlier.
Accordingly, if we refer to advanced dog training aiming to participation at working dog exams, the required time usually reaches or exceeds six months.
Does dog training need preparation?
• Dog training will have a better result in any case if one starts early, so as a dog owner it would be useful for you to know some related information with dog training in general.
• Defining ownership of an object or area has an important role in dog training. Dogs like other pack animals when living in the wild claim their territory initially displaying a dynamic, calm, full of confidence attitude and then communicate this definition of ownership with clear body language including direct contact with eyes.
• Useful information: If the dog perceives you as hierarchically superior, he absolutely respects this position while he has no difficulty understanding that the space where he lives belongs to his hierarchically superior. You will see this respect during dog training as much as in your everyday life.
• For the dog, waiting is another means of training that pack leaders use to ensure a dog's acceptance of their authority. Since puppies are at a lower point of hierarchy they have to wait their turn until the time when the adult dogs finish their food. According to this form of training the puppies have to wait also for the leading dog command or permission before setting off on moving to another place.
• Waiting can therefore be used as supplementary training for a dog, as the way it experiences it is a form of psychological process. In our time, the lives of dogs have certainly changed. The domestication, care, accommodation of dogs with human intervention implies that they no longer need to hunt in order to eat. However, this should not mean indifference on your part towards some form of work assignment before the meal. Behavior worth adopting before starting basic dog training with the help of a professional.
• Establish a leadership attitude towards the dog, asking for some form of work in return. Take a walk together before feeding him. Reward or discourage behaviors by showing tenderness if he behaves calmly, cooperates, remains obedient. Accordingly, delay giving dog food for a while if he is not behaving properly.
• An important test determining a position against the dog as the leader of the pack begins when you recognize its members while distinguishing the position of each one of them. This distinction creates an emotional balance between owner and dog, on which the dog training plan is then based.
•
Setting a goal or intention, as the basic process in order to achieve it, greatly strengthens human-dog relationships. Regarding this relationship, I believe that there is no better way to improve it, but always with respect for your needs as well as his.
• A pack leader for thousands of years displays an attitude consisting of truth, honesty, closeness, regular attendance, respect, balance of character, knowledge of pack members. The above features also constitute training in the dogs mind. A leader thus sets rules by setting boundaries within a dog society resulting in members feeling calm, safe and balanced.
