Not every dog owner pays attention to training their pet.

For some reason, the belief has taken hold that only “serious” breeds – fighting and service dogs – need this.

However, this is not entirely correct.

Why is it worth training dogs?

Intellectual load

Any dog needs to "train" its brain, as this is practically the only opportunity for them. Animals really like to exercise.

At such moments, the dog feels important, loved and happy, experts note.

Convenience

Agree, knowing the "basic package" of commands is very useful and important. You can call the animal, forbid it something or even just ask for a paw.

In most cases, knowing the commands greatly simplifies communication between a person and his pet.

Discipline

If you regularly train your pet, it will have a positive effect on its discipline. A trained dog respects its owner and recognizes him as its leader.

Therefore, training is an important condition for establishing a correct hierarchy, which can also be difficult in some cases.
