Dog Health Questions: Dog training?

I have 2 dogs, and I also train my friends 3 dogs. Her dogs are my dog's puppies.(Labradors). Their mother comes and stays around just fine outside. but they don't. neither does my other dog. The training methods I used for my Lab work wonders for the other 4 but not this. I just can't seem to get them to stay around. And my dog TAKES OFF when he gets away and won't come when called...how can I get them to the point where we can have them outside and have a little peace???

How to use the Remote Dog Training Collar



Recommended Answer:
You need to work with each one individually.
Stay means Stay, and come means come.
Not when you're done sniffing whatever you're sniffing, not later, but NOW.

You need to make sure that it is NEVER okay for them not to listen to these commands-this means first working with them on a long leash. Take it back to step one and make sure they know what each command means. Once that is done, you can start working with distractions. When you say come, and they don't listen, you reel them into you using the long leash-don't ever let them get away with not listening. This is very important-once they learn that they only have to listen "sometimes" then they WILL only listen sometimes.
When they DO listen, give them tons and tons and tons of praise-it's the best thing in the world when you listen to commands!

Also, if you don't think they are going to listen, and you don't have a way to correct them so they DO listen-do not give the command. Again, they cannot get away with it, and giving the command while you know they won't listen will only reassure them that sometimes it is okay to not listen.
Best of luck.

Four Dog Training Tools That You Must Use


  • I recommend you visit the website that I went to when my dog had behavioral issues a few months back. The program teaches you various methods you can use yourself to solve common dog issues. It totally transformed my dog. Good luck!

  • A good idea to work with them one on one I think. As a groups there's too much pack stuff going on.
