Dog Health Questions: Dog training????

i have trained my now 6 month old australian cattle dog mix male 2 do a lot of tricks, like sit, lay down, roll over, shack, hi5 ect. he even says "hello" and "love you" and he learnt thm very quickly and loves doing them
But when he is excited he dont want 2 do them and dont listen or if he does do them while excited he will bark and jump around...
and when ppl walk in the door he jumps on then and "play bits" never hard though and when i tell him 2 stop or say "no" he doesnt listen, he almost never listens while excited....

Review - Secrets to Dog Training is Unparalleled Canine Training Resource



Recommended Answer:
The key to successful training is to get (and keep) your dog's attention. It's great that your dog learned these new behaviors, but he has no way of knowing what you want when he's distracted by his surroundings (thereby ignoring you). Have you ever seen a police officer and his dog train? The officer would send his dog to attack a crook, and the instant the officer gives the release command, the dog responds. The reason is that the dog is still keeping an eye on his handler - even while he's attacking the bad guy. That's an example of a well trained dog who always has his handler's attention.
Now, you have a new challenge. Teach your dog that keeping an eye on you at all times is the most fun and rewarding thing he can do. It's not easy, and it'll take some time but you can do it. When he pays more attention to you, he'll be more obedient in all situations.
Good luck.

Aggressive Dog Training Made Easy


  • Even though he is a very intelligent dog, he is still a puppy....keep working with him...eventually he'll get it. He's still just a baby.

  • Any interaction with your dog when he is this excited will not solve the problem. Whenever your dog does something you don't want him to do then ignore him, leave the room, only for a few seconds then come back in and carry on as though nothing has happened. If you are trying to give him commands and he ignores them then that is what you are teaching him to do, that is ignore your commands.
    Ignore unwanted behaviour and reward good.

  • He is still a pup and wants to play just continue the training and he will come around...

    Exercise
    Training
    Praise

  • At 6 months you've done well to get this far.
    But at 6 months he hasn't learned not to get excited.
    He will given time.It's still an awfully big adventure.

  • He doesn't listen because he is a teenager. Even though you have taught him to do his basics he still needs to learn to pay attention. Maybe he doesn't know them well enough yet...As before...investing the time in a reward based program will really help you make sure that you are communicating with him efficiently. Letting him know what is acceptable and what isn't. He is testing his boundaries and being bossy. A canine sport is great but he has to be reliable with his commands in every distracted situation first. Dogs have a really hard time generalizing, you will have to teach him the same thing in different situations and places for him to really become reliable. A formal class setting will not only help you understand more about dogs but also help him learn in a more distracted environment. It will also give him a fun activity to look forward too. At six months he should have learned not to touch human skin with his teeth, but first he needs to have learned 'bite inhibition'.
