Dog Training Tips

Recommended Answer:
For basic obediance training watch "It's me or the dog" on the Animal Planet channel. For extreme problems watch "The Dog Whisperer" on National Geographic channel. And for teaching tricks, CBS is currently running a series called "Greatest American Dog" or America's Greatest Dog" - something like that.

• Well what you can do about the jumping is when ever he gets ready to jump on you just lift your knee and gently place it in his chest but hard enough to make him back off keep doing that until he stops jumping it may take a little bit but it does work.
  About the biting you cant just give him a bone and expect him to quit biting. When he does bite you then pop him on the nose but not to hard just hard enough to stun him a little bit it may take a little bit but it still works.
  Now with the agility all you have to do is get basic training down first then you can go to agility. But to help you out with doing agility all you have to do is when you get ready to do the high jump you need a leash on him and put him on one side of the jump and you on the other side with the leash over the jump, use his favorite food like hot dogs as bait and when you get ready for him to jump say over give the leash a gentle tug and have him try to jump it. All of it may take a little bit but as he gets older it will stick with him and you both. For the pole weaving have him on leash use bait and walk him through it and he will learn what you want him to do. When you get ready to do the tunnel just put him on a long leash and say come use the leash and guide him. Need anything else just email me @ wolf19825@yahoo.com I will be more than to help.


• First of all if your dog is only 4 t0 5months old you shouldnt be jumping him at all. You could injure him severly and have a huge vet bill. Check out the town where you live and see if they offer a obedience course. Most towns offer one fo a small fee.
