for example, she sleeps in our brothers bed and if anyone comes near them, she will start to growl and bark. now, if its a family member that does this, if you stick your hand out and pet her she will stop.
also, she doesnt get along with our australian shepard. they get jealous of each other and when one is getting attention the other will get angry.
also. she WILL not come back when she gets out of the house and she will not go into the backyard if you tell her to. she goes and hides. not even for a piece of bologna.
this is really important. we love our dog, and im sure she can be trained, and we dont want to have to give her away. so if anyone knows any tricks on how to change this behavior, it would be very helpful. thanks!
Tested Dog Training Tips - The Way to Hone a Dog's Behavior
Recommended Answer:
Okay, you need to sign up for obedience classes. You're right, she can be trained. In obedience classes they will teach you how to train, and control, your dog. Remember a dog is only as good as it's training.
Dog Training - Enjoyable Dog Obedience Training Techniques
- Send your chow dog to a dog training school.
- Sounds like your dog is a bit nervous which can lead to aggression. I would recomment talking to a dog trainier or behaviorist.
watch the dog whisperer with Cesar Millian - u should get the dog whisperer
but until thin u should get a kennel or for the over protective part
get water sprayer or flick his nose - well trainning is a very good idea espeacally while shes still pertty young. she may be alittle tense at night so try to get her to be calmer call her and tell her its ok before u come in and walk slowly wen u go in eventually she might be less tense im not to sure about wat to do aboutjealouseness but i think u should pick a game were they can play together like fetch and wen petting them have anther person pet the other dog or tell the other 1 to lay down .
- Chows are tough to train. They feel that you were put on earth to serve them and they do what ever they like and you just take care of everything.
That said you may need help from a trainer. They can show you things and ways that you can use to get the dogs attention and how to make her do things. If you follow through with what they teach you you will be able to teach the dog.
Good luck. I love chows they are beautiful but hard headed and always a challenge. - The 'trick' is for you or an adult family member and she to enroll in an obedience class. YOU will learn how to teach her how to come when called and how to have voice control over her. Cesar Milan teaches confidence and leadership attitude toward your dog, which is terrific, but you and your family need to learn how to teach your dog what she needs to know to be a good companion and family member.
She needs to start sleeping on the floor of your brothers' room, not on the bed. Sleeping on the bed is giving an already confident dog what she perceives as even more power. She sounds as though she has decided to take the position of pack leader in your house, and the humans need a little more confidence and more control over the dogs.
Once she understands who is in charge and is relieved of all decision-making, she'll be happier and learn faster. She might also go easier on the other dog, once she realizes neither dog has any power. Dogs who rely on their humans to make decisions, have relatively stable routines, and know the rules of the house are generally calmer, easier to live with, and make much better family members (just like kids.)
Read up on their history and what Chow Chow dogs were bred to do. They are highly independent dogs who usually know their job and how to do it with little, if any, help from humans. You're best bet is a professional trainer to help you teach and sharpen her re-call (come to you when called) as well as figuring out what reward will 'float her boat' since while she might like bologna, it's obviously not good enough to entice her where you want her to go. "WAIT at the door"' is another cue you need to teach her.
Since you probably have a leash law in your town, you would also do well to ensure she doesn't get out of the house without being on-leash with a family member, primarily for her safety as well as controlling her.
As far as the 'jealousy' between the dogs, it shouldn't be an issue. You need to observe your dogs and whichever of them seems to be the dog in charge (whoever eats first, takes the toys, doesn't move out of the way when the other dog tries to get by) and do everything with that dog first. First hello when you come home, first dog treat when they sit, first dinner bowl on the floor. It's not cruel or mean, you are just showing the leader dog you are aware of it's position, therefore it has nothing to prove to the other dog.
Best wishes to you.
