Dog Health Questions: Any dog training ideas/advice?

My dog is very behaved most of the time.. and we have been letting her off her leash in the yard to do her business and a little playing time or whatnot.. well, today I came home and thought I'd bring out the ball and play some fetch with her and she loved it, only it wasn't too long until the ball wasn't enough excitement for her and she felt she needed to go check out the road where she knows she isn't allowed, and I tried telling her come here, heel, etc. all of which she knows, and she didn't listen, and continued to just go on and check out the neighborhood, and so I walked after her issuing the same commands, and of course every time I would get close, she'd run farther. She has never done this before.. I don't know what got into her. I'm a little weary about letting her out at all without the leash now.. How did she all of a sudden turn into an evil dog?? how do you punish a dog correctly?

7 Types of Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
ok well first u dont just want to punish the dog. u want to make the dog want to come to u. so try buying a 30 foot leash and strapping it on her collar(just dont let her get out of reach) then when she wonders off and gets distracted u can grab the leash, say come(or whatever command ur using) and if she doesnt come then u give the leash a nice firm tug and say come once more and if she doesnt come then try it again a lil harder and when she does, be really happy and dont be afraid to throw a lil ball or give her a treat or something. ur teaching the dog that coming to u is better than going off on her own. and contionue to do this for a while then try no leash and call her often and a lot of praise each time and occasionally gop back to using some treats and when she gets rusty then go back to the leash.

Using a Good Dog Training Tip

• Well you really got understand their point of view, you gotta have patience, and you gotta have treats! try checkin out some books on dog training. There are tons of tricks to teach. This goes for all tricks you wanna teach, you have to have a treat, say the name of the command, and show the dog what to do. After you show him, give him (or her) a treat. Do this over and over. Eventually they will catch on and learn


• show her more love..show her that you love her..give her attention..apparently she wants more attention..take her for walks..play fetch or tug a war! she'll love you again in a heart beat if u give her a lot of attention!


• you should lightly tap her on the butt and tell her no and reward her when she starts doing stuff right and she will start to be the same dog she was
