Keyword: Dachshund Training Dachshunds are one cutest dog breeds around and they will try to get away with bloody murder. They appear so innocent, and it is hard to argue that they are not so cute. They seem to know it too, and that is why Dachshund training requires a rather different approach and should not be attempted by those who are not willing to stand up in showing who is in control and who is not. But, do they really require special training, or is this stretching things a bit. Let's take a closer look in describing what makes Dachshunds different from other breeds of dogs. They are at times the most stubborn, determined and headstrong adversaries that you can go up against in the dog world. It is will take more than a fair share of patience for Dachshund training, and they have a mind of their own. Training often boils down to a war of the wills and the best man/dog will prevail. It is like a guessing game, and to get them to do what you want you must play a guessing game of “well let’s make a deal and reach some kind of compromise on all of this, as we don’t need to make this process any more difficult than what is has to be. The first rule of battle is that you are up only against a mere dog, and your contender is not as clever or experienced as you. Don’t give in to those big brown eyes and awe of cuteness. As soon as you give in a bit, the battle is lost. You may never make up the lost ground. As with the rules of war, you must give all respect and abide by the treaties of war, and don’t fall prey to wanting to use excessive force. You have to show him that you are a better man and will not lose control of the situation, no matter what he will throw up against you. Just remember, this is for the mut... ... middle of paper ... ... to be effective with Dachshunds, and will be proved counterproductive in the end. They are just too strong-willed and will not crack under pressure. Dachshunds will become more even stubborn in their resolve, and excessive punishment will be met with aggression. It is better to use psychology methods in dealing with behavior modification, and positive reinforcement is effective in rewarding good behaviors and reducing bad behavior. Dachshunds will respond to physical attention and treats as extrinsic rewards. Dachshund training is a challenging experience, and not for the meek and weak of heart. Much time, energy and patience is required. It is definitely a battle of the wills, and you should be warned, that cute little puppy can get the upper hand, and they is no step backwards, you can win many battles but lose the war, especially as your cute puppy matures.
Pit bulls, the most dangerous dog to ever live. People like to train Pit Bulls to fight other dogs until they are either hurt or dead. The owners that train the dogs are usually the ones that make the dog turn out to be vicious and dangerous. “Each year, 1.2 million dogs are euthanized, approximately 40% of whom are Pit Bulls”(Moore). Pit Bulls don’t know better to understand which is right from wrong since they’re being raised up to fight and protect.

Dogs are used for special needs, assisting police, and hunting and tracking. Dogs should be appreciated and never taught to fight or be neglected. Dog fighting is unethical because man’s best friend shouldn’t have to fight for their lives.
Training your dog is the most important part of canine companionship. A happy dog is one who has structure and boundaries. Dogs are pack animals, and as such, they need guidance in the behavior that you expect from them. If you don't follow through in this leadership role, then the dog will naturally feel as if it is his place to do so. A dog that understands that you are the leader will naturally be easier to train.
Contrary to that popular belief, dangerous animal behavior is the function of inherently dangerous dog owners, not inherently dangerous dogs. One fact that supports this is that pit bulls are the dogs most often shot during drug raids (TELLINGS v. Toledo). Besides the pit bulls that are owned by drug dealers for status symbols and protection, many pit bulls are owned by people that breed them for fighting. These poor dogs have a very slim chance of living a normal and happy life. This is not the fault of the dog, but the fault of the owners that should not have the dog, or should care for them better.
My oldest daughter had a pit-bull, best dog she owned. Was really good with both her boys and never acted aggressive towards anyone, all she wanted was for someone to pet her belly. I know that my daughter also trained her dog, and made sure she always had something for her to chase, and play with. Most pit-bulls need those stimuli to keep them preoccupied, otherwise they might chew on things.

Guide dogs begin training at just a puppy. The dogs are taught basic things like to sit, stay, wait, down, off, etc. and of course they are taught to be house broken. The social training for the dog is one of the most important of all they will learn. During this training dogs are introduced to sights, smells, sounds, and unusual surfaces. The trainers also keep close attention to their socializing toward dogs, people, and traffic. And this is a basic training for a guide dog.
Sadly aggression is one of the most noted accounts for a dog owner to make the judgment to give up a pet. Sometimes, if a dog is considered behaviorally unsound and cannot be rehabilitated, euthanization is the last drastic step.

There are some people who think that a puppy automatically knows everything to do. For example they think that puppies know they shouldn't chew on shoes and furniture. But just as a child or toddler becomes bored and explores his surroundings, so puppies do the same. Young dogs have a seemingly inexhaustible supply of energy to run and play, and if not thoroughly exercised by playing appropriate games such as Fetch, they will become destructive inside the house. Another misconception related to being exercised is behavior. If a puppy is kept in a crate for eight hours a day and then let out only to go to the bathroom, then the puppy will have listening issues because the puppy has been confined and needs to run around and the owner refuses to oblige it. Also as young puppies, it is important to socialize them frequently with both multiple different animals and people. If not, the animal could act lovable to a family, but when a stranger comes into the yard, the animal could turn into a ferocious beast that could cause traumatic accidents to anyone. Dogs can be socialized simply by having friends come over to the house for a few minutes a day just to say hello. By taking a little time and energy and applying these simple rules, a new dog owner can have a wonderfully loving
