Dog Health Questions: Dog training.?

I have a two-year old, 155 lb. Bullmastiff. My dogs name is Keira. We are having some problems. I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. We have neighbors that live down the road about 100 ft. They have two horses and Keira ALWAYS chases them. We also have a problem with her jumping on people. She is A VERY VERY friendly dog, but she just needs to learn how to behave. A little slap on the butt doesn't affect her. so dont even suggest that. I HATE it when I am trying to watch TV and I am sitting on the floor, and she jumps on me. I CANT EVEN SIT ON THE FLOOR! And her WORST problem is that whenever Me, or my Parents are outside, she comes charging at you as fast as she can and runs into you and knocks you on the ground. When you are trying to ride a bike, she grabs your feet when you are peddling and PULLS HARD! I usually end up falling off of the bike. But PLEASE! we dont want to call a personal trainer, (or cesar millan...lol} so please dont suggest that. I love her like CRAZY!

Dog Training Advice - How To Do Obedience Training For Your Dog

• Pigs are excellent trainers i strongly suggest you buy one or steal one from a farm that way is more fun


• Try taking her to dog obediance. if there isnt a dog ovediance class near you, than go onto the internet and look up traing methods. i had the same problem with my to dogs and a little obediance helpped to control them. Just try simple commands eg sit, come, stay liedown and NO. Also when ever she jumps on you tell her down or no and turn away and dont pay her any attention. She isnt a bad dog she just needs some obediance put into her.


• It is easier to train a dog for good behavior than breaking the bad behavior...It sounds like the best thing you could teach your dog is "stay". It would solve about every problem. You can go to Petsmart or Petco and buy training treats (little ones so you don't interfere with a good diet while training). Find a quiet place with little distraction...get your dog to sit, then hold up your hand palm towards the dog and give the stay command...back up 2 or 3 steps, wait 2 seconds, then say good dog and give a treat. Back up farther each time until you are able to leave their sight and come back. Give lots of praise with the treats (dogs love this the most). Slowly introduce the command with other things...such as when someone comes over


• I recommend you visit the website I went to when my dog had behavioral issues a while back. It transformed my dog's behavior. Good Luck!


• You have a problem! While not impossible, normal training procedures will be extremely difficult to correct your girl. If I were in your situation, I would get an electronic training collar. These collars deliver a shock to the dog when you press a remote control that is carried in your hand. They should be used ONLY when she is in the act of doing wrong! Never shock her AFTER she has done wrong. This is important..... she must be taught that there are things she cannot do. Very simple. Very effective! And lastly.... never scold her after using the collar, and always praise her when she does well. Training collars are usually available on eBay.
