The number of people living with domestic dogs is increasing rapidly. At the same time, problematic behaviors of dogs such as bites, barking complaints, etc are emerging as social issues. Nevertheless, there are few empirical studies related to dog training, which is very important in preventing problematic behavior of dogs. In this study, literature review and survey were conducted on the number of weekly training and daily training sessions of dogs. Four papers examining weekly and daily training sessions for dogs were reviewed. A total of 43 trainers participated in the survey on the number of weekly training sessions, daily training sessions, training time, and training duration suitable for dog training. As a result of the study, in the literature review, the research result was derived that the number of training sessions per week was appropriate once a week and that one training session per day was also appropriate. However, the results of the survey showed contradictory results with literature results. According to the survey of professional dog trainers, 69.8% responded that training dogs every day was most effective. Additionally, 39.6% of trainers recommended conducting two training sessions per day, and 32.6% recommended three sessions per day. When asked about the duration of each session, 46.5% favored training sessions lasting between 10 and 20 minutes, while 44.2% preferred sessions shorter than 10 minutes. Reward-based training, aversive-based training, and mixed training methods (reward and aversive) are mainly used as dog training methods. Therefore, we propose an additional study on training frequency, session, and time that incorporates each training method.
Abstract
The number of people living with domestic dogs is increasing rapidly. At the same time, problematic behaviors of dogs such as bites, barking complaints, etc are emerging as social issues. Nevertheless, there are few empirical studies related to dog training, which is very important in preventing problematic behavior of dogs. In this study, literature review and survey were conducted on the number of weekly training and daily training sessions of dogs. Four papers examining weekly and daily training sessions for dogs were reviewed. A total of 43 trainers participated in the survey on the number of weekly training sessions, daily training sessions, training time, and training duration suitable for dog training. As a result of the study, in the literature review, the research result was derived that the number of training sessions per week was appropriate once a week and that one training session per day was also appropriate. However, the results of the survey showed contradictory results with literature results. According to the survey of professional dog trainers, 69.8% responded that training dogs every day was most effective. Additionally, 39.6% of trainers recommended conducting two training sessions per day, and 32.6% recommended three sessions per day. When asked about the duration of each session, 46.5% favored training sessions lasting between 10 and 20 minutes, while 44.2% preferred sessions shorter than 10 minutes. Reward-based training, aversive-based training, and mixed training methods (reward and aversive) are mainly used as dog training methods. Therefore, we propose an additional study on training frequency, session, and time that incorporates each training method.
