Dog Health Questions: Dog training?

My friend says that in order for him to train his chiuaua DOG properly his friends should act properly when they go over to his house and not play with or look at the dog too much, so that the dog doesn't jump and act all crazy like it always does...so everyone is uncomfortable and hates going to visit him, this has been going on for TWO years now, my Q: Does training a dog involve training your friends and the people around you as well, such as telling people no to breath too hard or talk aloud and look at the dog, because the dog will react to their behaviour and act all crazy?

Recommended Answer:
There are certain times in training where you should ask your friends to cooperate. For example, when you're training your dog not to jump up, you might ask your friends not to pet them when the dog jumps on them, but instead to ignore them and then pet them when the dog is sitting nicely.

But it sounds like your friend has gone a little overboard. It's not really normal for someone to have their friends hold their breath so that the dog doesn't go insane. It sounds like he's not really taking a good approach to dog training.

• no it doesn't. your friend should train the dog to be able to act properly around humans. tell your friend to take his dog to some training classes because it sounds like he is letting the dog rule his life not the other way around


• naturally i give my dogs silent treetment whenevr they pestr my friends.
  i command them to go into a certain area untill they rememeber to calm down. and yes people ned to be trained to act like a big hancho around the dog.
  
  ps. DONT LET THE DOG GO BALLISTIC ON THERE LAPS cause he just might be taking over on them. when ever he does that you take over AND TELL HIM NO! if he does it again be the boss and stare him down like your the boss.


• does the dog still do this im guessing yes, then i'dsay its not working after 2 years the dog should listen to him he should be leader and correcting the dog but visitors need to reinforce like if it jumps on your lap u need to remove it. and if it starts to act up HE needs to correct the bad behavior....tell ur friend to pick a good training book or better yet hire a dog trainer....
