Buying An Electronic Dog Training Collar Doesn't Have To Be Shocking
Recommended Answer:
Roll the ball just a few inches away from you. When he bites it, say "release" while you take the ball. Say "Good BOYYYY!!!"
Treat immediately with a very special training treat reserved for this.
Repeat.
Gradually increase distance.
Speed of reward and consistency are key.
Don't train for more than a couple of minutes, just a few times a day. You don't want him to get bored.
Dog Training: It's Not Just For Adults Anymore
- practice with him..
like throw it and then take him with you.. and then give him a treat it's step by step. - Sorry, but before you do that, you should teach him the basics. Lik sit stay and come. 10 minutes a day is all you need, but you need to be consistent. Once you have him sitting and coming, then you can play with him. He will naturally chase and return. As he gets older, he will return better, but start with the basics. And make it fun for him. Praise him like crazy when he does what you ask.
- well you have to encourage him to bring it back like wave something about in your hand and when he comes back take it straight out of his mouth and give him lots and lots of praise and them give him it back the reason for this is that he knows if he gives it to you he will get it back and you will not steal it from him so he will willingly give it to you. You can give him the occasional treat as well, but not all of the time because that will only teach him to listen to you if you have treats and not to if you don't. Good luck with that.
- Tie a thirty foot clothesline, a long rope that's not big around, to his collar, take him out in the yard where there's nothing to get caught on, and teach him to always come when you call. Call him, then gently pull him to you if he doesn't come on his own. Then praise him. Then he'll come when he has a ball too.
- Definatly take him to puppy preschool, it's good for him to socialize with other dogs, but be sure to practice with him at home or it is a waste of money.
- 1. Remember that *you* are the boss; you are his pack leader. You don't say what breed of dog you have, but this is esp important if you have a large breed dog. He is "oh so cute" now at 3 months, but he may grow up to be huge.
If you are the alpha/pack leader (dogs are pack animals), you eat first; you go thru the door first; you sleep in the bed & he sleeps on the floor.
2. Puppy kindergarten! There is a dog-training course near you for puppies; it's well worth the $.
3. Be patient. At 3 months, he has the attention span of a gnat. Do your training as you are doing it, but for very short intervals. Offer treats (small pieces of hotdog are always winners) after a success.
4. Probably the most important command you can teach him is "Come!" Think of where you might be ... near a busy road? & he runs off? "Come!" is *very* important. Get yourself a long long rope or lead (they make 50-footers) & pull him toward you as you tell him to "come!" This should be a command you only say once. (not "oh, come on, puppy, come here, come here to me,....come on, let's go....")
5. Praise, praise, praise him. Catch him doing something right & let him know he is a goooooooooood boyyyyyyyy! He'll pick it up. - Keep on trying, use positive re-inforcement (every time he does something good, tell him GOOD BOY and give him a treat immediately). Most of it has to do with timing; if you see him sitting, tell him "sit" then "good boy". Eventually he will catch on. Also, the best thing you can do is enroll him in obedience courses. Some trainers start off by giving puppy kindergarten classes which are a great start, you can probably start training with the trainer at 5 months. Start with the basics before you go on to playing fetch. Teach him to "come" first, so that that way once he chases the call you can tell him to "come" and eventually he will learn how to fetch.
- As for the playing fetch, the best way is to always have an extra toy ready to throw, in your hand. When he goes to get the first one, and begins to come back to you, show him the second toy. Then throw it. He will drop the first one, to get the second. This usually works.
When your puppy is so small, he will be "turned on" by treats. You can teach simple tricks, such as sitting, backing up, lying down , purely with the use of treats. Prepare treats that will be SMALL so as not to get him too fat. The best treats are usually hot dogs which have been "nuked" in the microwave till they are crispy. Cut them in small pieces first, then "nuke" them.
Place a bowl of these treats on the table where you can easily reach them. Call your puppy to you. Offer him a treat. Do NOT allow him to jump on you for the treat, bump him back with your knee if he does, then give him the treat in the open palm of your hand. Do this one or two times, until he realizes you have treats in your opened up hand. Close your hand, then allow him to nuzzle at your hand, as soon as he backs off, even for a second, open your hand and give him the treat. This is teaching him that YOU control when he gets the treat.
For teaching the sit, now he knows you have treats. You close them up into your fist (the treats) and you "lure " him into the sit, by holding your closed hand just over his nose, and putting it up over the top of his head, he will be forced to look up, which will make him sit down, especially if you move your hand over the top of his head towards his back. In no time at all, he will "sit" to get his treat. then you can pair this up with words/commands.
It is the same for the"down", you will lure him with a treat. After he is sitting, put your closed fist, with treat inside, in front of his nose, drop your hand SLOWLY straight down between his front legs, and draw your hand out (think of the letter "L") ..he will lower his nose, and as he "follows" your hand out he will gradually lie down.
These things do work best with YOUNG puppies.
