I don't really see the point in her knowing how to sit and stay and stuff.
Don't call me a bad dog owner I have a lab/German shepherd mix and he is the smartest dog ever he knows how to sit, stay, shake, roll over, speak , and so many other things , and I taught him those things .
A Guide To Your Dog Training for Law Enforcement

She's not dumb. Matter of fact, Poms are one of the more intelligent breeds (23rd rank, pardon moi) The problem is that smarter dogs can think for themselves and therefore can also be very headstrong due to that. Chis rank way on down, but I've managed to teach mine lots of things (like speak, DON"T speak- very important with small yappers).
It's probably that the training methods you use with your lab mix are not working with her temperament, so you need to try something else. If your main concern is keeping her from barking so much, rather than teaching her common manners and things that will protect her in certain situations, I suggest you join a forum or chat group of Pom people and ask for advice.
Therapy Dog Training - What Are the Various Methods of Obedience Training For Dogs?
- No your dog isnt dumb. Heres some tips on teaching her sit:
. Get a small treat in your hand and hold it up above her head.
. Say 'Sit' and push her backside to the floor.
. when she is sitting, say 'Sit'!
. Try the process a few times by pushing her backside to the floor and saying 'Sit'
. Then when her backside isnt as stiff to push down, say 'Sit' without pushing her down. if she does sit, give her the treat. If she doesnt, try the Pushing her down tacktick.
. Everytime she sits by herself, praise her and give a treat
she will get it eventually!!
GoodLuck - She barks at her shadow? Is she perhaps bored and that's a fun game or is she visually impaired? The great thing about training classes is that a good trainer will know how to tailor training methods to fit your dog. Apparently the method that worked with your other dog isn't working with this girl, so getting outside suggestions is the way to go.
- Dogs do not come pretrained they have to be taught what you expect. Dogs are only as good as the owners makes them. You find sit/stay useless??? What about if the dog is running into traffic or something like that. Don't you think it would be a good idea if she was trained to STOP. Training is for the dogs own good.
I am sure anyone visiting your house would much prefer a trained dog that is not all over them, barking and stuff.
If you are not capable of thaining the dog then yes take it to classes - Well dogs are the same as humans some do not like doing tricks.
As long as she sits, stops, and is obedient I would leave it at that. She not dumb just not interested.
Who said you were a bad dog owner. You are not. But never compare one dog with another she is herself and has her own personality. - No he not dumb he just need more times to learn things my dog took five moths to learns sit but now he learns in Min's. Just get the dog use to be train like do rewards like treats to toys. If you cant teach him anything then yeah i would do the training class.
- It is not the dog, it is the owner. There is a saying, "a dog is only as smart as its owner".
"I don't really see the point in her knowing how to sit and stay and stuff." This statement proves my point. - Well you should have instilled what you wanted when she was young. Now she's use to frolicking around as she pleases. I would be alot more stricter if that fails dog training classes it is.
- You cannot teach a dog if you cannot respect her.
Every dog should know basic manners. Their lack of gives little dogs a reputation of being horrible little monsters. - Some dogs are just more stubborn than others. Some problems are due to bad breeding/bad genetics. Just be consistent and don't give up.
- take the time to teach her . Yorkie/pom mix are not dumb .
