Considerations When Buying Dog Training Equipment
Recommended Answer:
You can start working with him when you get him. When he is about 4-6 months old, enroll him in a basic obedience class. He should know by that age how to walk on a leash and come when he is called. The class will help him to be socialized around other dogs and he will learn, on a leash to sit, stay, down, sit/stay, down/stay and heel. Eventually, he will learn, with training to do those things off leash as well.
Be patient, calm and assertive. Check out this website for some pointers http://dogpsychologycenter.com/tips/inde…
Good luck
How to Use Dog Training Books to Reinforce You Dog's Good Behavior
- its hard for someone to tell you hwo to train a dog because dogs have personalities and all are a little different, but i suggest either takign the dog to obedience training and basic training classes, or get some books and videos on training at home
- train your dog at any age
- Best bet is take them to training classes. they aren't just for the pet, but for the owner. They will show you how to continue training beyond the classes. PetSmart accepts puppies after 8 weeks of age.
- start as young as possible!
- Basic Dog Training can be found just by surfing the web but start training your pups around 9-10 weeks of age. The key to an good adult dog is too start young.
- Dogs should always be being trained. It is good for them. Its impossible to tell you how to train dogs. For starters, ask your vet for reference to a dog training club and check out "How to be Your Dog's Best Friend" by the Monks of New Skete. It is an extremely fun and rewarding process.
- Can you be a bit more specific? What kind of dog and what do you want to train it to do?
As for age - if you can housebreak an 8 week old puppy, that is training. I've started grooming and show stacking lessons with my poodle puppies at 4 weeks. That is training. If the dog learns to learn from an early age, they can continue to learn all their lives. The only dog too old to learn is already dead. You can teach an old dog new tricks - as long as you are patient enough and can figure out how to tell the dog what you want it to do. - With most dogs like Labs, Coker Spaniels, Pitbulls, or most of you bigger breeds even some small breeds most of the basic commands are already embedded in there memory, which makes it easier to teach them those command, but to get technical start with the basics. Like sit, stay, lay. those are the three you need to learn. the easiest way i have found to teach a dog to sit is to, put them in front of you and tell them to sit (use a stern voice let them know you are in command) and take your hand and push down on there butt as you tell them to sit and after a while they will learn what to do. if you have any other questions reffering to this email me at wmctarheelchamps2005@yahoo.com
- to train a dog you must keep it positive make it fun for your dog show him what you want it to do like if you want it to shake say shake and grab his paw and shake it praise him give him a treat and do it over and over you have to spend some time but they will get it never yell or hit a good thing about dogs are they want to please you hotdogs are the best thing to train with they love them and will do anything to get them good luck start when they are pups about a month or 2 old but try not to over do it you be able to tell when the dog loses interest
- my trainer likes to start when the pup is 12 weeks old.
