Dog Training - A Vital Component of Your Dog's Life

• let him go outside, then when he goes to far call him back


• Basic obedience classes would be a good start; you need to learn how to teach her to stay and also to work with her on recall.


• If you aren't in a fenced area, it's not a good idea.. You never know what might come up or come along, and sometimes things are just way too tempting, and worth the risk of trouble.. I wouldn't do it.. I don't trust others, and you never know what might happen...


• Whether you can teach your dog to stay with you off-leash has a lot to do with the dog, and how much time you spend training it. The first thing you would have to do, is to train the dog to walk with you on the leash. Walk it every day. Teach the dog that if it strays too far forward from you, it will feel a tug, that will bring it back to you. Walk the dog, then after a little bit ask it to sit. When you ask it to sit, gently pull up on the leash and use your other hand to push the butt down. Praise it for sitting. Then resume walking, saying, "Heel". Sometimes having treats in your pocket helps, and you can offer a treat occassionally, but praise should be the primary reinforcement. When you are in your yard, or another area, put a long rope on your dog, perhaps 10 or 12 feet long. This way if your dog strays too far, you can simply step on the rope, and the dog cannot go any further. This teaches the dog that it cannot and should not wander too far from you. After awhile the dog will learn how far it can go, and to return to you. Teach it to come, by using a six foot leash. Make your dog sit and stay. Then walk about 5 or 6 feet away, wait and then stoop down a little and say, "Come". Praise your dog profusely, and make it sit, right away. Always keep the treats in your pocket at first, because if your dog knows it can get a treat when it comes to you, it will find that a very pleasurable thing. If your dog does something wrong and you call it to come to you, you must not scold it, as it will associate coming to you upon command, with negative discipline, but the treats in your pocket will always be a good reinforcement, and it must always be praised for coming to you on your command: "Good dog, come".


• Depending on your dogs dominance level she may be tryying lead you around. A good obedient dog will follow you were ever you go because you control the food time, play time, and sleep time. First fix the dominance, then if the dog is "sniffing" its way away from you try teathering the dog to your waist. Take a tie out cord wrap it around your waist and then attach the dog with collar to the end of it. The dog will eventually figure out whereever you go he/she has too also. This will establish you as the leader of the pack and help with any dominance issues. Good Luck
