| House Training an adult Lurcher/Staffi problems?
April 26, 2010 at 10:52 PM
|
| | I have recently taken on a rescue 2 year old male Lurcher-Staffi-x which was kenneled for 18 months and has very little idea of house training. I am making slow progress by ‘rewarding for going outside’ and ignoring (not punishing) when he toilets inside. After 3 months he tends not to soil inside whilst I am around and asks me to let him outside where he gets a treat and a big fuss for being a good boy. The problems occur when I am out during the day or at night. As I have another, older dog, I cannot adopt any techniques that might affect her and I don’t like the idea of caging the young dog whilst I’m not around. I have isolated an area inside with training pads on the floor and he will usually go on them but I would prefer that he hung on until I can let him outside. Has anyone any suggestions, thanks.

| | A dog is a man’s best friend. However, true this might be, the fact always remains that dogs are after all wild animals, and training your beast in to a civilized pet is a very important task that you cannot ignore as a responsible dog owner. Dog training apparently might sound a very easy 'do it yourself’ task, however, there comes a limitation on how well you can train your dog all by yourself. There are many dog obedience training professionals that can do this job for you, at a small cost. You might be able to train your dog for routine tasks like following you, toilet training, playing games, etc, but living in a city will require more than this basic training.

You don’t want your dog scurrying around dragging you all over the park while scaring other commuters. The other important aspect of dog training is the age of your pet. The age of a dog has a direct bearing on how much adaptive and receptive the dog remains to the training efforts and for his 'trained-memory’. A young pup is considerably easier to train compared to an adult dog that is over a year or two. In case of adult dogs it might be almost impossible to train him on your own, and this is where professional dog obedience training will come in helpful. Finding professional dog training has now become quite effortless with the internet. There are a number of dog training course websites that provide a complete package of different solutions for dog obedience training. No matter what city you are located, Harrisburg, York, Lancaster, or Dover Pa., you can easily find a dog training professional help right in your locality. If you visit one of these dog training websites you will be amazed at the amount of informative resources you have at your disposal, and at no expense at all. You can find more information about the particular breed of your dog, its peculiarities, food habits, and all other such stuff that will come in handy when you maintain a pet in your house. Typically, different training course are offered on these websites that are aimed at meeting different owner and pet dog requirements. For instance, training techniques and courses significantly are different for dogs of different breeds and age groups. The best part is that you can also do corrective behavioral changes for your dog using these training courses no matter how much you have spoiled your pet.

| Tips on How to Utilize Proper Dog Training Techniques
April 26, 2010 at 2:53 PM

| | As most pet parents can attest, dogs are both amiable and feisty. These two seemingly incompatible traits are what dog training so difficult, especially in the early years. Luckily, experts abound that can give us helpful hints on how to get our treasures pooches to mind their manners and behave in public and in the home.
Below are the things you should know to train a puppy and a full grown canine. You can modify these approaches to fit the personality of your dog as these are guidelines, not hard and fast rules.
Puppy training
Puppy training can be engaging, rewarding and fun with the mind set. Remember, puppies are playful, so getting and keeping their attention is the key to success.
1. Train early – young pups are very enthusiastic and alert, in fact, you can start training a puppy that is only a week old. The best way to do this is to set boundaries and rules and enforce them strictly. Don’t let the puppy jump up on you and be sure to have treats handy to point out behaviors that are good.
2. Reward – Make great fan fare out of each accomplishment so they understand what they are being rewarded for. While some leniency is of course allowed, be sure to offset broken rules with reinstatement as often as possible. In time, the puppy will understand the difference between being allowed a special reprieve and what is acceptable on a regular basis.
3. House/Crate training – the quickest way to house train a puppy is to place it in a crate. This is because dogs hate to soil their living area and will treat this space like a “den”. You can then take them out of the crate and deliver them outside so they can eliminate. The crate itself, if made comfortable, will become their go to place for a bit of R and R so they won’t “go” anywhere near it. Only keep your pet in the crate when you are home and be sure to let your pup out at night ritualistically.
4. Breaking the biting/chewing habit – all animals, especially baby ones, enjoy biting and mouthing objects. When they nip on furniture or a hand or foot, they are not aware they are doing anything wrong. One way to break this habit is to allow them to play with other pups. Puppies play rough and react negatively when the biting becomes too much. This peer pressure allows them to understand that biting is unacceptable. The purchase of chew toys allows them to get the biting urge sated so they are less apt to bite or mouth other objects.
Dog training
Dog training can be a tad more complex and often fall into the realm of obedience.
1. Leash training – the trick to getting a full grown dog to accept a leash it to make them understand the leash is not a punishment. If you get them to associate pleasant things, like walks or an outdoor jaunt with a leash they will actually look forward to seeing it. Don’t let them react in an out of control fashion and let them know that any disobedient behavior will delay their walk and they will be better behaved. Also, learn to walk with great long strides or to trot with your dog so they feel hampered by the leash.
2. Obeying “come” – your dog will obey almost any command when something positive is attached to it. Far too often a pet parent only asks the dog to come to them when they seek to punish the animal or leash them. If the dog can associate positive memories to the experience, they will be more likely to behave in a positive manner to the command.
These few small tips can work in conjunction with one another no matter the age of your pet. As always, keep in mind your dog’s temperament and respect the independence of the animal as you train them to coexist with the humans and other animals. Dog training company offers in-home obedience to create happier dogs and happier families. You can help your dog deal with separation anxiety, excessive barking and jumping up. When looking for puppy training services, consider Bark Busters.  Related posts: - Quick And Simple Dog Training Techniques When you first get a puppy or even if...

| How do I stop my 2 year old male labrador from pulling on his lead?
April 26, 2010 at 6:52 AM

I take him for a walk, and he pulls very strongly. I have tried several different techniques, and owned many other dogs. I’ve been training even since I had him when he was a puppy. He is very strong around his front legs, and even putting a harness on doesn’t work. He gets excited and wants to go up to other people and other dogs. I’m getting a little weaker as I get older, so this is becoming a real problem, because I find I don’t want to take him for walks any more. Thanks for any help.
I’ve tried choke chains, he doesn’t care. It’s as if he doesn’t even feel it. I’ve tried a harness around his body, and he just pulls more, it’s as if he’s pulling a sled!
Also, when I do pull up on the lead, I pull hard, quickly and upwards; again he really doesn’t notice much. Even a strong man doing this, the dog doesn’t mind.
I did try a muzzle when he was a puppy and he pulled then. Maybe, that would work now he’s older and a good fit? He just isn’t bothered by a tug, or choke chains, or anything much! When I spray water on him, he plays and thinks it’s all a game. So again he’s not bothered.
Making him sit every time he pulls, would mean he’s sitting the whole time! He’d get up, pull, I tug the lead, I’d say sit, he’d sit, stay, and then up he gets again and pulls, it’s endless. He’ll only sit when no one else is around too. He won’t sit or pay attention with other people or animals around.
I like the haltie suggestions. I do have one. However, I have used this with him. He spends his time trying to get out of the haltie. Still walking and at the same time trying to get out of it. Getting tangle in the lead at times. Tangling me up in the lead too. At one point he did manage to get himself out, like a houdini. He’s very clever. He is somewhat stopped when he tries to pull for a few seconds then off he goes again. If he sees a person or another dog, again he will pull hard and quickly, and he’s off. He wants to make friends.
The pain or discomfort he may experience doesn’t phase him. I envision using it as if you are leading a horse, which I’ve had a lot of experience with. He envisions it as a challenge to get around! I do love him dearly, and he amuses me with his antics and cleverness. Thanks for all the answers so far!
