Dog Obedience Training For Your Pet Dog

Please if you had your puppy in a class or training program that helped you and your puppy let me know….my puppy is only 7 weeks old and soon hope to enroll him in a class….well after he is 10 weeks old right????

Please in-lighten me……

We’ve recently gotten a black lab from some friends. She is 1 1/2 years old and is trained OK in the basics (sit, kennel, go), but we would like to train her better. I haven’t had a dog in forever.

i registered my puppy for obedience training when she was about 10 weeks old. it was an 8 week course. she just finished with it about a week ago. since then, she’s been more unruly than ever. it’s like she’s being disobedient on purpose. how do i re-establish dominance without ruining our relationship?

she seems to only listen if i’m really aggressive with her (i.e. using a loud and deep tone of voice).

what should i do? i was thinking about re-enrolling her in obedience training. do you think that’s a good idea? she’s almost 5 months now.

I need help training my dog. He won’t stop peeing on the carpet. I’ve tried all of the tricks from Will Ferrell’s "Dissing Your Dog" video, but none of them work. So I tried beating him with a stick while using sarcasm but that didn’t work either. What should I do? Am I not dissing him enough?

Before obedience classes were popular, or even available, nearly every dog owner in the past relied on home dog training to get their dog to obey and perform tricks.

If you desired to have a well behaved dog, you have really had no choice but have the patience, willpower, and desire to do spend time teaching Fido at home. Many people learned how to train their dogs from their parents who had owned dogs. Others refers to books to train their dogs.

You can either train your dog through dog obedience classes or conduct home dog training just as your ancestors did. If you are low in budget, conducting home training is a better choice.

Fortunately, dogs are simple creatures, and can be trained pretty easily with a mixture of consistency, praise, and treats. Give them enough of those, and they’ll be doing whatever you want in no time. You can teach them not only to obey, but also to perform some cute tricks that your friends will find amusing.

The easiest way to conduct dog training is to model the behavior you desire your dog to do. Let’s say you want him to sit on command, then gently place him in a sitting position and say “sit” very firmly. Look into your dog eyes while doing it.

Continue to do it for many times and eventually your dog will be able to sit upon your command. When your dog does correctly, remember to give him a treat and praise him. If he still cannot do it properly, continue to do the training and your dog will one day able to obey your command.

Different dogs pick up the skills differently. Some require a longer time but some can pick up quite quickly. But sooner or later he will get it.

Be sure to keep praising and giving treats for the first several times your dog does the right thing on command. This is important. After a while, you can forego the treats but continue to praise your dog. Your dog need to know whether are you happy with him.
