Dog Training Tips - Rules for Dog Trainers and Dog Owners


  • Puppies do not know the difference between your slippers and their toys, so it's best to keep the slippers off the floor and out of reach. If you see him chewing on your slippers, say "Give it" and then take the slipper, and at the same time, reward him with something better than a slipper (training treats, sm. piece of cheese, sm. piece of chicken). This is a give and take game. He has to get something better than the slipper. Then you give him one of his toys.
    Biting on sofa: If you see him do it, a sharp NO and then distract him once again with a toy he can chew on.
    Pooping in the house: How old is he? If he's a puppy, there will be accidents. Take him out when he wakes up, after he plays, and after he eats. When he goes, PRAISE him like he did the best thing in the world for you!! If you are leaving him to roam around the house when you are not there, you should be crating him.

  • Sounds like you got quite a dog on your hands or should I say puppy. Ok the pooping part is easy. Your dog needs to be on scheduled feedings. Do not leave the food down all day. Feeding 2 times a day is fine. Give him/her half an hour to eat. If they do not eat all their food pick up the dish. Keep him/her in eyesight at all times. All dogs will poop soon after eating. Some will go right away, so will go in about half hour. Mine goes about an hour. Keep track. Dogs need routine.
    Now for the biting. Well give the dog something else to chew on. Toy, bone, rawhide. hopefully that will distract them. Always give praise and attention for what the do right and try to ignore the bad behaviors. That means not saying or yelling at them when they do wrong. A dog does not generalize when it comes to attention, to them they are getting the attention they want wheather they are doing good or bad. Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck to you.
