单选题 Dogs are social animals and they will act like wild animals without proper training. They will destroy your house, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even hurt you. Almost all behavior problems are normal dog activities. The efficient way to prevent or treat behavior problems is learning to instruct the dog to redirect its normal behavior.
One of the best things you can do for both your dog and yourself is to give it obedience training. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the basis for solving just about any problem. Training promotes connection between you and your pets. Efficient communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do and what you don't want.
Training is also a simple method to establish the social rank system. When your dog obeys a simple request such as "come here, sit" , which is showing obedience and respect for you. It is unnecessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群) by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to obey to you. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog can be safer to others when allowed a greater amount of freedom.
