I have a Chow/Black Lab puppy that misbehaves big time.I have been trying to train her but she seems to always ignore me.Heres what i need help with.

1.When i’m outside and i let her out she runs into the road and we live out in the country so a lot of people like to speed and i’m afraid a car will come over the hill and kill her,she always tends to run into our neighbors yard across the road and they hate animals so you know how bad that can get.We are always out there when she goes but it seems as if she is trying to show off.What can i do besides build a fence or chain her up?

2.How to teach her potty training?Each time i let her in the house she comes and pees on the ground!!!

3.How to get her to behave when it comes to my rabbit?Each time i open the sun room door where my rabbit is usually loose in she always chases her and scares her badly and it makes me so mad so of course i punish her.

Don’t say i’m not responsible or this puppy is to young either.No lectures about anything bad to me i’m only 13 and this is hard for me since this is my first dog because i got my Beagle when she was like 5 months old.

1. A leash. Would you rather take her out on leash or have a dead dog.

2. She’s a puppy, she needs a potty schedule, and she needs to be rewarded for going in the right places.

3. She’s a dog, dogs are predators, rabbits are prey. Keep the dog and rabbit separated.

Despite their rambunctious behavior at times, puppies are eager to please and they desperately want your love and approval. Much like a newborn baby, puppies need to be taught right from wrong and they need to learn in a way that involves both patience and understanding. Not only can effective puppy training lead to a better relationship between you and your four-legged friend, but it may also save your pet’s life one day.

One of the most popular types of puppy training techniques involves housebreaking, which will teach your pet the difference between his/her home and bathroom and why the distinction is so important. By nature, your puppy will not want to relieve itself in his/her home and will appreciate having a separate area for that sole purpose. When your puppy has structure, he/she will be much happier and healthier.

Obedience training is another important goal of many pet owners. Puppies are especially energetic and, if not trained properly at a young age, can grow into an unruly dog. In order to prevent this from happening, obedience training should begin as early as possible and may either be done by you at your home, or by an instructor. In many cases, your puppy will respond better to you and your commands because he/she is already familiar with you. If you enroll your pet in an obedience training class where other animals are present, your puppy may become anxious or disruptive. If possible, it’s a good idea to train your pet at home by using your own puppy training techniques that will give you full control over methods, treatment and effectiveness.

When it comes to any type of training, your puppy will appreciate the ability to understand your commands. Dogs who never seem to obey their owners lack both discipline and structure. They may never understand the importance of “stay” in the face of oncoming traffic or the “off” command to be used to prevent your pet from jumping up on guests in your home. An unruly pet cannot be taken out in public, may never enjoy a stroll through the park and may have a very difficult time at the veterinarian’s office. While your pup is young, he/she is small and will be controllable. The real problems start when a puppy grows up without being taught how to act in public, how to react to other animals and how to respond to your commands.

Puppy training is most effective when used in conjunction with the reward method. This involves giving your puppy a treat when he/she does something on command and should be followed by loving strokes and praise. Your puppy will learn to respond to the tone of your voice and he/she will love hearing positive tones because this means that you are pleased. Although they seem to be nothing more than a ball of energy at times, your puppy is really hoping for your approval. This desire will especially show through as he/she begins to mature and, with the proper training, your puppy will become very familiar with what “good dog” means. Not only that, but he/she will also know how to earn the title.

There are many great resources for dog training available on the internet. One of the best ways to find these resources is by reading independent reviews and comparison rankings. In this way you can be confident your pet is getting best training possible.

In the animal kingdom, animals usually have to wait before they eat. Often times there are other animals higher up in the hierarchy or maybe they had an unsuccessful hunt. In the domestic world, you should make your dog wait before they eat as well. A domestic animal doesn’t have to kill its prey to eat, but it should still have to do some sort of exercise or work before you feed them. This is imperative for normal pack psyche.

A typical rule of thumb, if you have multiple animals, is to feed the ones with calm tendencies first. Do not feed aggressive or otherwise bad behaving animals until they calm down. This corresponds directly to the animal kingdom where a mother or a pack leader would not feed an aggressive animal until they show they are subordinates.

You want to make your dog work for food. By work, I mean taking them on a walk or asking them to perform several obedience routines. Working is a form of waiting, and this will not only exercise your animal, mentally and physically, but will help create a healthy and well balanced dog.

A typical routine would be to take your dog for a walk or other exercise routine and then when you get home, you may prepare their food. Ask your dog to sit or lay down while you make their food bowl. If they sit quietly and don’t display aggressive or other negative behaviors then you may give them their food. If your dog acts aggressive or will not sit or stay while you prepare their food, then you should wait until they do before feeding them. Remember this is how nature intended it to be.

It is important not to reinforce negative behaviors when feeding. Feeding a dog when its aggressive, tense or nervous is not natural. The pack leader would never let a dog eat that had these tendencies and will require the dog to be very calm and submissive before receiving any food. Be sure your dog is calm and submissive before you give them food and this will help in many areas of their life. In fact, if you feed them while they are aggressive or while they are nervous, tense or excited than I can guarantee you that the next time you feed them they will act the same manner. Remember dogs learn by association. Associate negative behaviors with food and you will get negative behaviors in return.

Remember that feeding your dog is a critical part of training your animal. If you are able to have the discipline to only feed your pet when they submit the correct behaviors than your dog will live a happy well-balanced life.

So I have 3 dogs at my house. Mine is old and she uses the bathroom outside. The other 2 are quite young. One is almost adult and the other is only a few months old and they are HOPELESS. I wake up every morning getting ready for school and step in dog sh!t. BLAHH. Please help.

Try to crate your dogs it worked for my dogs… because animals don’t like to sleep where they went to the bathroom. But if that doesn’t work then just kick them out side (not literally) every time they pee or poop on the floor or any of the furniture and soon they will learn that when ever the do go to the bathroom in the house the will get in trouble and soon enough they will stop going potty in the house and start to going outside instead.
