Just like human beings, dogs can be taught obedience. There are even dog schools and colleges that specialize in canine obedience exercises and offer agility training to all types of dogs.
Animal experts believe that there’s wisdom in training your dog early. This move, they say, will help develop good habits in your canine and will make him or her easier to handle. As early as eight weeks old, puppies attend Obedience School, provided they are up to date on their vaccinations. Puppies will be taught Puppy Socialization, People Socialization and other exercises under the Basic Obedience 1 course. After Basic Obedience 1 comes Obedience 1. Dogs in attendance here must be 16 weeks old and up-to-date on all vaccinations. They will learn about certain commands and exercises like come, sit, down, heel, and stand, plus some pet manners such as no biting or barking, and waiting by the door or by the car. Obedience 2 follows this course.
