The dogs that are best suited to dog training schools are the more placid & friendly dog breeds.
If your dog happens to be a nervous dog then attending one of the many dog training schools could prove to be especially advantageous.
Your dog will learn to accept other dogs & people better placed into the situation of a training class.
The good point with a nervous dog & the atmosphere normally discovered at dog training schools is it's usually a relaxed, friendly feeling.
Your dog will not feel threatened in any way so will have no reason to become even more nervous or agitated.
The other dogs present should be of good dispositions that will assist your dog in approaching them.
Dog training schools are an excellent & safe environment for dogs, & their owners, to meet up.
Excitable dogs usually benefit too as they can channel their pent-up energy into their training, learning new commands is a perfect way for an excitable, highly strung dog to focus their attention.
These types of dog, Border Collie, Springer Spaniel & Golden Retriever for instance love to 'work' they are all working or sporting breeds.
They resemble a coiled spring that just has to be permitted to uncoil itself several times throughout the day! The advantage with these particular dog breeds is their amazing ability to learn, they are so intelligent & very quick to grasp what it is that you would like them to achieve.
Dog training schools are terrific places for these exceptionally 'busy' breeds.
If you have a slightly overweight dog then again one of your local dog training schools would be a good place for your dog to begin exercising more.
Learning new commands & being put through his/her paces is possibly what your dog lacks in its life.
An overweight dog is generally an unhappy dog as they cannot run & play as easily as the other dogs out & about.
Also an overweight dog is an unhealthy dog, because of the extra weight the dog's heart is put continuously under more strain than it needs to be.
The trainer/handler at whichever of the dog training schools you select will probably be able to advise you on your dog's diet & suggest an exercise regime for 'you' & your dog.
If they cannot then the chances are that they will know a canine nutritional advisor that they can put you in touch with.
The dogs that do not suit the close proximity with other dogs that you will encounter at the dog training schools are any with an aggressive tendency.
Some of these dogs are fearful of new situations & this can make them slightly aggressive, not attacking other dogs but rather just 'nipping' & telling them to 'back off'.
Border Collies are renowned for this sort of behaviour; I have, & still do own this breed.
Border Collies are a very focussed & channeled breed of dog.
Loyal to their owner, protective & possessive & they love to herd everything & everyone! The aggression displayed by this breed, generally, is fear based & not fight based.
If you are considering attending one of the dog training schools & your dog does possess aggressive tendencies, whether fear or fight based, please always inform the trainer/handler before you enroll.
They might suggest that you allow them to observe your dog individually before you join one of their classes, to assess them & to see if the dog training schools environment is the right one for your dog.
