Dog Training Collars - A Helping Tool

Recommended Answer:
I got a dog trainer from superdog.com It is a little expensive but well worth the money. I was amazed at all the things she was able to get my dog to do. Sometimes it is best to get a professional in to help because the books and videos aren't specific enough to your dog. They also have a worldwide trainer directory. Check out their website. Since your dog is still a puppy it is the best time to train them.

Dog Training Techniques - The Fundamentals

• What do you expect from a BABY? She is like an infant, would you expect an infant to know what you want it to do? It takes MONTHS to train a dog, not days or weeks! You must not have read the books very well! You are foolish to let your puppy play with anything you don't want chewed up like your socks! You take the socks away saying NO firmly and give her the toy. When she takes it, praise her, tell her good girl. Repeat every time she chews something she shouldn't! Reread and Re watch your books and videos again, and then keep working with her. She'll learn, but not by tomorrow!


• When she does something right instead of giving her a treat give her lots of attention and positive reinforcement.
  
  Pets, rubs, good girls, kisses etc.
  
  She'll learn in no time!
  
  When she's in the crate, try to lay next to her on the floor or leave a nightlight on so she can still see you're there. My little girl was terrified of the dark and I laid next to her a couple nights and she learned she was safe.
  
  Good luck!


• Ignore her when she gets too rowdy. If she's playbiting, give her a stern 'NO' and walk away. Only resume giving attention/affection when she is playing calmly. She will begin to relate praise and attention with calm play.

• Instead of giving your dog treats you can give it toys or love!! Like a belly rub or something like that!!


• use a clicker or find a food that she enjoys eating such as bacon


• that must be very difficuly with a pup who isnt into treats... how many times have you just left her in the crate? my pup didnt l;ike her crate much either for the first 3 days, treats or not.. sometimes, i would give her a kong filled with kibble and frozen peanut butter in hopes to keep her busy, but as soon as that was gone, she'd go back to whining.. but, after 3 days of just letting her cry, she eventually stopped, and 2 weeks later, she was going into her crate willingly, no treat needed... you could even try different treats, maybe she doesnt like the ones you give her.. you can even try green beans, ( small cause she's little) or carrots, or even an ice cube... i agree with giving her lots of affection and love and getting really excited when she does something good.. and the biting thing, that'll take a long time to break.. prolly several months.. i have had my puppy just a month today and she is 3 months old.. she still play bites and i am prepared to deal with this till she's at least 7 months old.. i am just going to consistanly keep telling her no and keep reminding her its not ok to bite... good luck to you - be patient, kind, and consistent....


• It's nearly impossible to train without any kind of reward. If the treats aren't working for her, than you need to find something that does.
  
  She's not motivated by this treat, have you tried others? Look into homemade healthy treats that most dogs just LOVE. Something that smells a lot is really helpful. (Like liver).
  
  When it comes to puppy crate training, and dachshunds, you don't want to put to much on her at once. Open the crate, when she goes in, praise, and let her out. In, for say, five seconds, then out. In for 10 seconds, six seconds, three seconds, 20 seconds... just so she realizes when she goes in, she gets to come out! Just make sure you aren't always putting her in for longer and longer, or she'll stress. Irregular time intervals will help her.
  
  If she's biting, you're going to want to discourage it. When she get's nippy, yelp, like she's hurt you. High and shrill, and then walk away. She doesn't get to play with you if she's biting. If she loves socks, tie two in a knot that you don't like anymore, and make that her new toy. She'll love it. And it should prevent her from destroying good socks in the future.
