It’s important that every dog is trained properly.  Even if you don’t care too much about teaching your dogs all those fancy tricks, there are still some basics that you should cover.  A lot of owners assume that they need to hire a professional dog trainer for this when this is actually not always the case.  There are some dog training aids that have proven to be very effective and which are at least worth looking into here.

One of the best dog training aids is the bark collar.  This is a device that is used to teach the dog to stop barking for no reason.  It’s helpful for a dog to bark at night when they think there’s an intruder but when they’re barking constantly for seemingly no reason it can just be downright annoying.  The bark collar will give a light zap to the dog when they bark, which will cause them to stop right away.

At nighttime for instance it’s best to keep the collar off the dark, so they can bark at intruders.  There is also the training dumbbell which is especially helpful for dogs who are training to be hunting dogs.  This is a training aid that’s used for training hunting dogs because it works on their retrieval skills.  The dumbbell is the same weight as the average prey so they dog will learn how to retrieve the object and bring it back to you as quickly as possible.

There are also clicking devices which are effective dog training aids.  Whether you’re working on teaching your dog to sit, roll over or perform any other tricks you want to use this clicker every time the dog obeys your commands.  Every time the dog obeys your command and does what you’re telling them, you pat them and click this device.  Then over time you can take the positive reinforcement away and the dog is going to continue responding even without it.

Dogs with anxiety will often have problems with housetraining and barking.  With these dog training aids you can teach them how to be a well behaved dog.  There are hundreds of different dog training aids to choose from.  Before you go out and invest money in any dog training aids, it’s important to determine what the problems are and which aids stand to offer the best results.
