Dog Health Questions: Dog training for puppy?

Kaiser is a 5 month old 'pound puppy' and a great little guy. We went to puppy school at 10 weeks and he had all the basics down cold. Now that he's a little older and has more confidence he is testing me a bit. "Did you say COME? I will, in a minute" for instance. I want to nip this in the bud. Should he go back on the leash? What is the next step to get his attention again? I had been able to have him respond amazingly off the leash (without distractions) he still does, just not as quickly as he was. Now, he may sit and look at me as if to say, "What if I don't WANT to go in now?" I have always trained with a baggie of treats. Suggestions appreciated! Thanks..........

Secrets to Dog Training Review - Is it Really the Best Dog Training Program?

Recommended Answer:
Sounds like he's trying to become the leader. You need to put him in his place. Take him to some obedience classes. They should help. Don't let him test you or push your buttons. Good Luck.

Understanding The Concept of Dog Training

• My best advice is to use a clicker. Whenever he does something worthy of a treat, just click and then give him the treat. Soon he'll figure out that the 'click' is associated with being good. Only reward him with a treat when he does somethign right the first time. Anything after that and just some loving is good. =)
  
  Hope this works for you!


• Yep, back to square one. There are also advanced obedience classes you can continue with.


• Maybe its how you are talking to him,some dogs will be resistant if yelled at or talked to differently.They will test you hes still a puppy.Look how many times you have to tell a child over and over eventually they realize your the boss.I have never used treats etc.you just have to continue to work and keep earning his trust he will in return always come on command.Give it time and keep working with him and always let him know hes a good dog.


• Dog training never ends once get started. Have you been consistent in your program? I would go back to the training school while there are so many answers and suggestion for dog training. There is no one way answer. If you can do it yourself, great, but I would not ask on Yahoo~! LMAO. Seriously, it is best to have a trainer who sees your dog.
