The University Of Thought: The Home Where Dog Meal Is A Real Delicacy, When I read articles on dog training, all I do is smile with thoughts. Now I just remember one of my trips to Escravos. While on arrival, we were asked to keep out bags and other belonging on a single line while thereafter, I saw the Police dog searching through all the bags while smelling it for something I seems not to understand at that time. That laughs again while reading this post. “The Fascinating World of Dog Training”. “We call them man's best friend, and not without good reason. We spend a lot of time and money on our canine friends, and much of that is spent on perfecting dog training techniques. A lot of research has gone into finding out how dogs learn. Puppy crate training is often applied in the belief that early conditioning leads to greater obedience later on. No doubt that it does, but it is certainly not the only type of dog training that you can apply.

The Mirror Method:
This is a simple concept that relies on the assumption that your dog's behavior mirrors your behavior. It was started in Hungary by a group of dog trainers who felt that their dogs would react better if they presented themselves as good role models for the animals.
The method worked, and continues to work, too. Dog behavior training where you encourage your dog to behave properly through mirroring your behavior, involves discipline, but not punishment. It also involves fun play with your dog, allowing natural interaction with other dogs. Above all, it involves your dog accepting that you are the boss, but being allowed to remain a dog, and not a mirror image of a human.
The Koehler Method:
W.R. Koehler developed this method in 1946. It recognizes that dogs can't always be kept on a leash, and therefore they need to be trained in obedience when they are off the leash. It may be that you don't let your dog off the leash deliberately. It may break, or the dog may slip the collar off its head. A door may be left open and your dog may see its big chance for freedom. With the Koehler method, this is not a problem.
A degree in animal behavior science might seem useful when training dogs, but with the Koehler method you can get by fine without it. The method involves teaching your dog exactly what it is that you want him or her to do, naming what it is, praising the dog when he or she gets it right, but only if they can show that they know and understand what it is that you want them to do. This applied animal behavior technique is a lengthy process, but the end response is worth all of the trouble.
Model Rival Training:
This method requires a dog, its trainer and someone else to act as the model/rival. This person is a model for all desired behavior, and also a rival for the attention of the trainer. Training, of a kind, takes place between the trainer and the model/rival in full view of the dog. The animal sees any mistakes that are made, as well as any corrections to the mistakes. In this way it learns how he or she is expected to behave.
There are many methods of dog training; some work well, and some not. A clicker, sometimes used alongside appropriate commands, is often used to instill the desired behavior, for example, and as already mentioned; puppy crate training is often used on very young dogs, usually to good effect”.
After going through this article, the same thought crosses my mind again. And I asked myself after all these trainings; the dog still ends up in the pot. The pot! Yes the cooking pot. The part of the State I come from eats this as a delicacy. But if you would ask me, I would gladly tell you that I have not tested any. But to those who have tested it; I got to gather some information from them on how sweet this dog delicacy is. Some speaks of the healing power of dog meat when you have fever. Others would tell you stories of dog barking at anyone who kills it for a living. You would also hear of dog seeing evil spirit and ghost in an environment if it barks continuously at any object around there.
Even though some says that a dog(s) should be a man’s best friend but remember that one man’s food is another man’s poison. Sometimes, a dog’s bite is dangerous to your health. If not treated on time it could lead to paralysis or untimely death. You need to be careful with dogs even if it is trained and you are living with it. Cases of dog turning against its owner are on the increase. Though dog is used to fight crime; there is a risk on them as it could be attack also.
Now so much is happening to this friendship of human with dogs. Someone got married to a dog the other time. And some are engaging them in their unholy act. What would make a sane human want to make love to a dog? Is this the height of civilization or mere stupidity? Well everyone have their opinion but be it as it may, this is just not fair to this animal.
