Habits Pet Parents Can Imbibe to Make Their Dogs more Independent

Owning a dog means taking care of a living being to the best of your ability from the day it comes home to it's last breath. For the human, many tasks can seem very simple, eg: expecting the dog not to bark everytime the bell rings. But for the dog, there is always more to it and there's a reason why this behaviour has set in.

It is solely the duty of the pet owner to raise this dog to the best of the dog's capacity.

As soon as you bring the dog home, the owner has to start with training. The technique to be used is positive reinforcement and a trainer with good knowledge and experience must be roped in as well. It's the basics like sit, down, up, off etc and reinforcement of the same, that work for the dog.
