Dog Health Questions: Dog training advice please?

My puppy is 1 year old. She has not had any training. she is a chocolate lab. i took her to a parade and it was HORRIBLE! she barked and every dog and would try to run after them. how am i suppose to react when she does this? do i give her a negative NO! or do i try to console her to let her know everything is fine? do i distract her? our neighbors got a dog and this morning she was barking at him through the fence. when i socialize her with other dogs and she acts this way....how do i react?????

Old Fashioned Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
Take her outside on a leash when the neighbors dog is out. When she sees him and starts to go for it STOP, stand your ground, don't allow her to move toward it and tell her STAY. A prong collar will help with this, but don't let her pull against it. When she starts the first move toward the other dog give her "STAY" and a solid snap on the leash so the collar 'bites' her. If she does not comply, take hold of the flat collar and lead her away from the other dog say "THIS WAY." After a few (dozen or so) bites from the collar and seeing she won't get toward the other dog she will learn to stand and look. Once she learns to stand, the barking will ease up because you've stopped the excitement of getting to the other dog.
I practice "STAY," "HUSH" every time a dog walks past the house.

Dog Training School


  • show the dog what right, say no ! bad dog. and point ur finger at him, so she knows who your talking to. when a labadors a puppy thats its best time in life to learn whats right and wrong so when it becomes a older dog, she will get into the habbit of being a good dog sense she learned how to sense a little doggy.
    it s a breezy day outside for the perfect exercise walk with your dog( for atleast 15 minutes is good for the dog to exercise) and sometimes its nice to give the dog a nice little treat for its well training and exercise for the day . because you cant always say no to a little dogs eyes. :)

  • Keep her on a leash at all times with other dogs around, and when you see one about to approach, distract her with a treat, and once the dog has passed give her the treat. However if she does react still, move her across the street. You'll need a lot of persistence and patience for this, but it will pay off.

  • The best thing would be an obedience class.
