5. Obedience Training
Training a dog is something that every owner should do in order to get their dogs to obey and behave in every type of situation. However, dogs who suffer from anxiety or have been diagnosed with some type of trauma might be a little bit harder to manage. This calls for professional help, in this case, a CDPDT trainer, which is an organization for certified dog trainers and behavior consultants. The training can last from a couple of months to years; it all depends on your dog and how they evolve. These types of trainers will get to know your dog, giving them their full attention in order to understand what is the best tactic to help them overcome their fears. Ultimately, a fearful dog is a dangerous dog. As said earlier, they are unpredictable, making them feel like a bomb that can explode at any time. Having a dog like this can be extremely tiring and overwhelming, not only for the owner, but the dog can also become depressive or develop severe trauma. Mental health is important, even dogs need to be taken care of in this department, and it’s up to the owner to help them overcome their fears by providing a healthy environment and professional help.
