Understanding the Right Mindset That You Need to Have to Train an Afador


Training your Afador can be very rewarding but Afadors as a breed are very independent which can make training them a bit difficult. Understanding the mind set that you need to be in to train this breed is important.

One of the most important things an animal trainer can do is win the trust and respect of the animal they are training. This fact directly applies to the training of dogs. Dogs are social pack animals that naturally need to follow a leader. Becoming the leader in the eyes of the dog you are training, is one of the most important tasks to implement in any successful dog-training program.
Until you have earned the trust and respect of your Afador, it will be difficult for any good training program to succeed. These needed characteristics must be earned using positive interaction. After the dog has learned the trainer is worthy of its trust and respect the training being taught will quickly progress.

Many new owners will mistake love and affection as a way to earn trust and respect from their pet. While love and affection is a needed attribute, trust and respect is earned. This can be earned by not allowing your pet to get away with everything it wants to do, no matter how cute and adorable it may be. Setting boundaries establishing what is an acceptable and unacceptable behavior is important.

These boundaries are appreciated by dogs because of the similarity to rules normally set in nature by the pack leader. With the setting of these rules by the leader, every dog in the pack knows the actions, which are expected, and learns its place within the pack. The structure provided allows the pack to work as a single entity for hunting and survival. Your dog needs this type of leadership. If not found it may cause the dog to become frightened or confused.
