Dog Training By Alton

Posts Tagged ‘People’

My dog is a somewhat fast learner. She knows how to sit but she sometimes has a slow response to this. How do I get her to respond to my command faster. Also, How do I get her to respond to everyone else around me?

Another question is I can’t seem to teach her any other tricks, well I at least I don’t know how to teach her other tricks. How do you teach a dog to lay or shake?

Practice. I if you keep at it and continue training your dog, she should become faster at the command.

Try inviting a friend over to help train your dog, ideally a person that is a stranger to your dog. Once she learns to follow the commands from this "stranger", it will be easier to train her to respond to other people.

To teach a dog to lay down, get a doggy treat and hold it right in front of her nose when she is sitting. Then slowly, making sure her nose follows the treat. Continue moving the treat until she is in the position you desired. Say "Down" or "Lay down" or whatever the command is, and then give her the treat and praise her. Repeat this a few times and then try saying the command with no treat. If she doesn’t respond, keep on trying, she will get it sometime!

i have not gotten the puppy yet and i no that you have to let it out after meals naps when it wakes up and everything but do i take him out in the middle of the night i guess im asking. the puppy will be sleeping with me in my bed. how do i potty train him? thanks

Puppies have little bladders so they’re going to end up getting up at night to sleep. Instinctively, dogs don’t go to the bathroom where they sleep, but some break this rule.

Try taking him or her out right before bed and then just be aware when he stirs at night. And don’t worry about wondering how to be aware, it’s kind of like having a baby, you grow a sixth sense that keeps attention on the pup’s activities even when you’re asleep. At least that’s what has occurred with me and most of the people I’ve met in the same situation.

Crate training first is usually a good idea. It didn’t work for me though because my dog always knew she was going to end up in my bed, even before I decided that way. So she never slept until I put her in bed with me. =/

I am planning on crate training my puppy and I want to know how long I should keep her in there, when I should take her out, when I should play with her,etc. Please help ! An example of a schedule would be great, but if not, anything will help. By the way, she will be 8 weeks when I get her.

Congratulations on your new puppy Crate training can be a difficult process, but its definitely worth it for you and your puppy. I’ll give my advice on what worked crate training my dog (he’s five now, but we got him at 10 weeks old!), and then leave a link for the Human Society’s information on crate training.

First off, you’ll want to make sure you have time to be home with your puppy, at least for the first few days, but if possible the first week or two. Secondly, you need to pick the correct sized crate. People frequently assume that its "cruel" to have the dog in a small crate, but reality is, the puppy should have enough room to get in, and circle around and lay down, but not enough room that she could soil one corner of the crate and sleep in the other. Some sort of bedding so she’s comfortable is a must, but make sure its not something she can chew (since puppies do chew). If it is something she could possibly chew, and swallow, observe her in her crate, to prevent the risk of bowel obstructions.

Please take into consideration, that a typical puppy can hold his/her urine for his/her age in months, plus one. So at eight weeks, two months, you’re puppy can hold it for around three hours. Taking this into consideration, I’d really recommend taking her out at least every two hours to start with, more if possible.

A normal schedule may go as follows:

9:00am: She goes outside. If she pees or poops, you give her praise, and you can play with her outside, or inside for a while.

10:00am – 10:05am: Crate time. She will cry, and you will feel the need to run to her. Starting off with just a few minutes of crate time, five or less, gets her used to the crate.

10:05am – 10:45am: Tell her she’s a good girl and immediately take her out. The BEST routine we’ve gotten into, is taking our dog out immediately after he leaves his crate. It has clicked something in his brain, so now he automatically uses the bathroom once he’s out of his crate. She may not go this time, since she did just go an hour before.

10:45-10:50: Crate time. Again, plan for tears. Afterward take her immediately outside for at least another half an hour, a walk if you can.

Repeat this throughout the day. Whenever you feed her (2-3 times a day depending on size) take her out immediately afterward. Keep an eye on her water intake, and take her out after she drinks as well. For the first day, stick to 5-10 minutes in the crate at a time. Work your way up from there, adding 5-10 minutes each day on. Also, you can start by staying in the same room as her in her crate, but you want to pretty quickly move to another room, so she can’t see you.

It is hard, and it will take a few weeks of whining and crying to get used to it, but it makes house breaking so much easier, and now I can just say, "Frankie crate," and he goes right into his crate He actually enjoys sleeping in there!

The crate IS NEVER a punishment. If she has an accident, don’t yell at her and put her in the crate. The crate is a safe place, and the more you treat it like one, the more she’ll want to be in there.

Good luck!

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.
