Dog Training Tips
Dog training tips information
Anybody have good dog training tips?
I posted the following question earlier." What to do with a dog who doesn't listen. I got some decent answers but I've already addressed most of those issues and some answers were somewhat insulting. It was mostly my fault since I didn't add enough details. I provided more if it helps get a better answer. If anybody has specific advice about a certain training method or routine I would appreciate it. Thank You.What to do with a dog that doesn't listen?My dog only does what I say if I scream at him. I'll say sit firmly, and he just stares at me and looks the other way. I'll repeat 5 times and then eventually scream at him and he'll put his ears back and sit then wag his tail. I hate doing this and supposedly you're not supposed to do it but it really is the only thing that seems to work. He's good on a leash though. It's just off leash.Any tips on how to work with a dog like this? I do everything possible to show I'm the leader. It's almost like he's deaf or just stupid.1 hour ago 4 days left to answer. Additional DetailsYes I do use hand commands. I was going to add that but didn't want to bore people with too many details.I also try to make training fun and try to use positive reinformcement. clicker training worked for a while but he seemed to stop paying attention to it.My dog is more interested in the food than trying to learn what I'm teaching him. I have put him in obedience school and have used personal trainers. They have the same problem with him. They just say ohh he's still young and full of energy. I don't like smart comments like I should get rid of him if I think he's stupid or I'm trying to scare him into listening to me. Maybe he is stupid. That doesn't mean I hate him for it. I'm trying to help him. I scream as a last resort since that's the only thing that seems to work. I've been trying to wean him off the treats for 5 months now. I can't keep bribing him with food or he'll get fat. So I'm asking for advice about specific training routines. And especially what do when he gets distracted and obviously is ignoring me. Like if I say down and he runs up and starts chewing on my ankles instead and just keeps doing it getting frustrated that I'm asking him to do something that requires patience. He's not deaf. The vet said his hearing is very good.
Any dog training tips for this annoying dog behavior?
He's very, very clingy. He is always leaning on people, slobbering on them, chewing on people, and worst of all he constantly digs into people's feet as if he's digging a hole in the ground.I know some people think it's not that bad, but when people meet him or come over to my house it's really embarassing. and it's really annoying when you have to deal with it all day. Also, He keeps pulling the pillows off the couches to play with them.I know persistency is iimportant so I do that, but he just doesn't seem to listen to anybody about these particular problems.He's well behaved besides this. He comes when I call him and walks well on a leash etc. He's a good dog friendly dog.Don't tell me I let him think it's okay when he was a puppy so he's just confused now. I never ever let him do any of this stuff and he's been trying to do it since I had him at two months old.Any training tips would be appreciated.

Any dog training tips or instructions?
k so my dad found this dog in the front of the house. he's about 2 3 months old. he's super playful. i mean incredibly playful. he humped my leg. Well he's annoying kind of and i like how he looks. he looks like original dog a bordercollieWell how do i get him to not be so jumpy and scratch?How do i get him to know where to potty? How do i shut him up when i put him in the bathroom to sleep? He does those squeaks and moans.Do i just leave him there and let him shut up?he kept wanting to get out when i opened the door and i just held his arms and sat there while he tried.Does spanking him on the butt help? Or shouting?i don't want him to grow up and be liek that forever. i figure now's the bst time since he's young.I'm starting to realize why i chose catswhat should i name him? in relation to the ramones Yeah my dad had seen him wondering around the neighborhood. he might belong to someone around here. but it's like freezing, actuallly in the teens for degrees so we had to have him stay inside cause it'sway to cold for him. i haven't actually claimed it, my mom doesn't think it's a good idea to another dog. it would be pointless to call a shelter i think. no one would look i bet. until we see signs or it warms up, well let him go. by the way, i know being pysical is bad, but i've never actually dealt with a puppy. i don't even really like dogs. i loved him for like 20 min. but i won't him. i would just hold him still and pat his butt. barewith me, i'm a cat girl.But thanks for all the wonderful answers.
Need dog training tips for the world's most stubborn dog?
I have a 7 1 2 month old puppy that is a Shar Pei Husky mix. He's adorable at 51 pounds, but refuses to listen. He understands sit and lay down, but only does those for treats. We were fortunate that potty training was instinctive, however he will NOT stop biting. He's not being aggressive, but wants to play. No matter how many times my husband and I tell him NO in a very stern voice, put him in time out, hold his mouth closed, grab and hold him by scruff of the neck, NOTHING works. He could care less what we do. He continues to bite and jump up almost non stop. He is extremely strong and hard to physically " manhandle" . I'm at my wits end. Any suggestions?

Also any tips on how to make the process faster, and so I don't do anything wrong.Thankyou
Emergency dog training tips?!!! please help!?
My family has fallen on some though times and with that being said a family member has been evicted and moving in with me along with her 3 young daughters and their chihuahua until they get their own place which shouldn't be long because she has a job. Just that her eviction is tomorrow and needs somewhere to stay in the mean time. Before I carry along, my question is about my 1 yr old pit bull. He is real sweet heart but he's just too excited for a lot of people's liking. He jumps a lot and at 80 pounds that's a very heavy jump. My aunt has a 3 year old daughter I am particularly stressing over. He pulls on the leash very forcefully so I cant take him on long walk and tire him out. Also, even though he is EXTREMELY friendly he is very dominant with other dogs. He doesn't know how to play well with other dogs but he doesn't come at them with bad aggression. My aunt is coming with her chihuahua as well like i mentioned . I have taken him to dog runs before and i trust him with other dogs, however, i don't trust other dogs with him. A lot of dogs have not taken his forwardness so nicely and the chihuahua is very sweet but snappy What are some ways I can help my dog?? I would like to know how to correctly train him. I don't want to take him to a shelter because when my aunts gone, so will he and if I had money to room him somewhere, I would. So please no fostering shelter opinions. I understand this is no overnight remedy. I'm willing to work on it with my family to improve his behavior. Thanks Let me clarify since Steve has just called me an irresponsible owner lol. I have two pit bulls and yes he is a pit bull mix They are not in no way shape or form aggressive I rescued the pit bull mix less than a month ago Hence me not trying to take him back to a shelter He is still adjusting to my home, guys The other pit bull is very polite and well behaved..I've had him for 3 years now and he's very good friends with the chihuahua that's coming. So that's example enough that I actually am a very capable and responsible pit bull owner.I just came on here in hopes that I could get some advice from someone that KNOWS what they're talking about so I can pass those training tips to my guests and we can all work on it together, instead of being a mess when they get here THANKS

Positive reinforcement as I start crate training an adult dog, training tips and ideas needed?
Back story We rescued an Alaskan Malamute from an animal hoarder she was in real bad shape when we got her.. Emaciated and easily 40lbs underweight, bacterial and fungal infection in both ears, Staph infection on her skin, etc. We fixed her up nicely About 3 months ago we had our first " real issue" with her she ate a baseball hat, a tube sock and a cat toy. Tube sock and baseball hat came up, but cat toy got stuck in her stomach and we spent the $2,300 on life saving surgery..We changed food, started free feeding and really cleaned up our home after this, determined that it wouldnt happen again.... . but last week she did it again She's extremely tall and very large 39inches at the top of the head and 140lbs and she can reach counters and tabletops with ease Went to the vet, did a barium X ray $300 and found it was a " sock or some type of material in her instestines" ..... We just can't afford a 2nd surgery for $2300 We've already spent over $4,000 on this dog in the last 8 months with all her medical problems She seems to have passed this sock on her own after a touch and go few nights of lethargy, she seems to be back to her old self, eating and drinking and not vomiting , thank God We just spent $200 on an XXL dog crate, since she's proven herself to us and the vet to have " canine pica" ... a small price to pay to ensure this doesnt happen again while we are at work We've never crate trained before and certainly havent with an adult dog so I implore you, Dog Section, please provide me with some tips and training ideas to make this new crate a positive experience and a safe, private place for our troublesome Mal Thanks a lot Added info They both run 5 7 miles a day with me. They also have weight pullling harnesses and will haul logs and rocks around our acreage. They get more exercise than most dogs would need cause they need more exercise than almost all breeds
