Dog Health Questions: Any tips on dog training?

I have a lab, bulldog, pit bull mix and he is a great dog. He listens to me and doesn't give me a hard time when walking him. I trained him myself he learned everything so quickly. its not him i need help with...my aunt gave my sister a mini cocker spaniel and she knows basic commands like sit and lay. but she barks so much...at every little noise and person. and when i walk her with my dog she doesn't walk normally she runs and pulls. does anyone know how to stop the barking at every little thing and how to get her to walk normally.
help is greatly appreciated because my sister is physically disabled and i want the dog to listen to her and our neighbors complained about the barking. i don't want to have to give the dog away if i don't have to. my sister is only 3 and i don't want her dog taken from her even though the dog will probably go back to my aunt.

Recommended Answer:
For the barking, you need to interrupt it. Say NO NOISE when she barks. If you are right there, correct her with a little push or leash correction. Sometimes just getting them away from the thing that they are barking at can help. Keeping her away from windows and doors can help too. Keep her inside (preferably in a crate or windowless room) when you are gone or can't watch her.

For the pulling, when you are on a walk and she pulls, change direction quickly. Do this every time she pulls. She will learn not the pull. You can also do some work in the house. Get a 6ft leash and put it around you waist (put the clip through the handle, clip it to the dog and put it around your waist), so this for at least 2 hours a day (cooking dinner, doing dishes etc). She will learn to respect your movements (and your sisters). Running around obstacles (poles, trees etc) can help too.

Your whole family needs to do these things. The dog may end up listening to you and nobody else. Do not bribe this dog (no treats, balls, toys, clickers for training), this will just get the dog to listen to a treat and not a person.

The Evolution of Dog Training

• I would get her a bark collar, you can get them around 30 bucks and I would get her a Halti for her pulling


• u never be able to tame your dog so just get a dog trainer or get a dog whisperer
