The best training aid is treats, small pieces of human
food chopped up and given to him when he has done something
good has always worked wonders, that is unless your dog
doesn’t really have an interest in treats. This is
a really cheap method of a training aid but if you want
to blow some cash there are hundreds of options available
for you.
For dog agility training aids that are available are e.g.
anti bark collars. Many dogs have a problem when they do
dog agility. They start barking constantly basically because
of the hype involved. Anti bark collars do one of two things
or sometimes both, they give a small electric charge when
your dog barks and spray some water up into their face.
People may think this is cruel but it is completely harmless.
It just lets your dog know that barking is not acceptable.
These collars are available at pet
shops and on the internet and are not too expensive.
For dog obedience some dog training aids that are available
are dog clickers, the newest craze out on the market which
allows owners instead of associating sit with a word they
use a click instead and reward with treats, no punishment
allowed. Another aid available is a harness; this gets fitted
around your dog’s upper body so when you are teaching
him to heel a slight tug on the harness pulls him back completely.
The harness is a widely used obedience aid and is greatly
used for bigger dogs such as German shepherds and Rottweilers.
There are also dog training aids available for around the
home. These are simple and effective. Many people turn to
dog
training aids when nothing else has worked but they don’t
have to be the last thing you try, with aids so cheap these
days there is no reason why you can't invest in something
that will make your dogs
learning process a lot more exciting!
