Dog Training Aids - Do You Know How Safe The Methods Used For Dog Obedience Training Are?



Recommended Answer:
When I was house training my 7 month old lab mix, he would always go pee inside the house as soon as we let him back in. I couldn't get him to stop no matter how hard I tried. Then I called a behaviorist trainer and here are some tips that helped me. I tied bells to the door and every time i was taking him out to go "potty" I would jingle the bells and say out. Also if the dog does go in the house instead of taking him right outside. Simply shout no, really shout (shouting will not hurt a dog) then put them in a crate for 10 to 15 minutes where they are completely alone. after that time then take them outside. Some dogs get confused and see that you take them outside after P'ing in the house so they see that as a reward. This definitely helped with my dog a great deal!!! Hope that helps some.

Dog Training - Advantages of Clicker Training


  • I used to have a maltese who used the cat litter box. He learned it from the cats.

  • For house training, or any other training, never use the work "no"...it is used in too many different ways and the dog will get confused. If the dog pees in the house (or does a bad thing), say "Ah ah ah ah" with a sharp tone of voice.

    Also using a Pee Post is good. It releases a pheromone and makes the dog go pee at the post :) Eventually, the dog will just go pee there because it's used to it. Hope this helps:)

  • The most overlooked dog training tip is Having fun. Most people fell that to be a good dog trainer you have to have some hind of supernatural mind-control skills over a dog, that they could do whatever you ask of them. When you're training a dog, you have to use positive reinforcement and make it fun. rewarding your dog for good behavior is very important, and making the activities fun maintain high energy levels.

    I got these tips from an article, but you can also get some more tips from there. I pretty sure someone could use these tips.
