Teaching Your Dogs The Basics Of Dog Training

• Where have you began? Any fondation? what do you want to train the dog to do? Go to the book store, and get a how to book.








• it takes a lot of time and patience. i trained my dog myself starting when she was about 4 months. i have a pug and they say they are pretty hard to train. i spent about an hour and day do repeated tricks with little treats. i would motion the tricks with my hands for example, when i told her to sit i would motion my hand down and tap her butt so she knows. when she sat i would say good girl and give her a treat. and continue this until she would do it herself. and sometimes i would give her a treat and sometimes not. and the next day i would do it agian and if she got that right away and will start teaching her a new trick and mix it up. so, now i got her to sit, shake, high-five, lay down, and play dead. and she’s about 10 months








• YOU CAN NOT LEARN FROM A BOOK OR A CD OR A TV SHOW
  

  So much of training involves body language, voice tone, the way you move, when you move, how you show the dog what you want, the timing, why a breed acts like this or that (and no – there is no one size fits all for explaining a number of behaviors) ……

  
  

  IMPOSSIBLE TO GET FROM A BOOK

  
  

  Contrary to the poster above who thinks “training” is teaching a house pet to beg for food and rollover, there is a lot more to it than that if you want your dog to “come’ off leash anywhere at anytime , sit, stay, down and walk quietly and politely next to you out in public.

  
  

  Now you both need a GOOD obedience class – and that is NOT Petsmart or Petco.
