The Importance of Dog Training
The training of a dog to obey your orders or commands is a very important aspect of the relationship between man and animal. Some people think that when you say training, it means all types of sophisticated and complex commands. Actually it is not so. Having the dog relieve itself outside the house or in the litter box is training, having the dog come when you call it also falls under training, as does the dog recognizing orders such as ‘sit’, ‘catch’ and so on. In other words, each and every aspect that makes the dog behave the way you want it, falls under the purview of training.

The simple commands that you teach your dog on how to behave around the house is basic training. There are however, specific types of training which will make the dog perform certain tasks that you need from it. This includes, training for sniffing out bombs, narcotics, saving injured people, tracking by smell, attacking on command, or when owner is attacked, and so on.

Specialized Training Methods

There are times when attack dog training is specifically needed for guard dogs. There are many reasons why attack dog training is given to dogs:

1. to protect people against harm such as during an assault, or theft
2. to protect cattle or ship from predators
3. to prevent gun shots (police dogs)
4. to attack other dogs for organized dog fights
5. to hunt other animals

Attack dog training is a specialized training and it requires a professional. Utmost care should be taken when imparting such type of training so the dog does go out of control. Just as important it is for the dog to recognize and obey the attack order, so it is to recognize and obey the stop attack order. The dog attack training should be done properly otherwise you risk injury to yourself and others.
