Dog Training Tips - Training Dogs For Your Own Benefit



Recommended Answer:
Dog's name: Toto
Dog breed: Mutt scottish terrier mix saved before being put down
Age: We are not sure about 11 or 12 we think.
Walk the dog: Every day not sure how many minutes
Play with the dog: Every day when she's in the mood
Hours training: We do not do training anymore because she knows everything we want her to know, sit, stay, rollover, lay down, potty on command, very obedient.
Scale of 1-10 number: 9 or 10 probably 10 though

Cooperative Tips on Dog Training


  • 6 months
    german shorthaired pointer/australian shephard
    2 hours each
    training is a 1

  • My 9 year old border collie is a 10.
    Hours per week walking: Approximately 9
    Hours per week playing: Ha, nearly ever waking minute he's trying to get me to throw SOMETHING.
    Hours per week training: I train, specifically train, about an hour every other day--but sometimes we're officially working on something specific--and that would replace an hour walk, etc.

    My 11 mos old Aussie is a 2. She's a work in progess.
    She shares walking and playing time.
    We've just started herding lessons, so that's about an hour a week, and she's in an obedience class, so two hours a week.

  • 5
    he is a 2yr old chihuahua

    i walk him 20 - 40 minutes twice a week but due to his behavior i am upping it to every evening when i get home from work.

    we play all the time

    i am going to start training him constantly because he is very aggressive and nippy with strangers comming into my home & also with my brother.

  • My dog is a 10 as far as being trained
    I have a 4 year old male yellow Labrador Retriever.
    14 hours a week walking
    17 hours a week playing which includes swimming, running errands etc.
    7 to 10 hours of training

  • 10 out of ten for my Staffy she is brilliant .she will be 6 May 12th and a nicer lass nevr lived .

  • Duke
    Age 3
    Labrador Retriever/Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix
    He gets walked about 30 minutes per day
    We play all day long with Dakota too
    My dog is already trained and on a scale from 1-10 he is about a 8.
    He is very smart and sometimes too smart for his own good!
    He knows all the basic obedience stuff and he knows how to shake.

    Dakota
    Age 5
    Rottweiler/German Shepherd/ Husky mix
    She gets walked 30-45 minutes a day
    We play all day long with Duke too
    Dakota is a 9 on training. She is very smart!
    She knows high 5,shake,speak,I love you,and the basic obedience stuff,and when I say kisses she gives kisses!

  • About 4, shes always moaning at me for drinkin beer... Oh dog!... Sorry.

  • Hard to assign a number. There are some areas in which they are a 10 and others in which we are still working and they would score much lower.

    Lab mix - almost 4 years
    Lab - a little over 2 years

    Training is nonstop in my home. I always monitor, correct/encourage behaviors. Walking varies (especially now that my husband is away and I'm 8 mo pregnant,) but they usually get a minimum of an hour per day each. Play time also varies. They actually spend most of their time outdoors playing, but I do spend time playing fetch, etc. with them. Sorry, I didn't really give you numbers!

  • 7 of my dogs are very well trained in German and English commands....I work with them daily around the ranch...with commands working cattle and horses. So I would say 20-30 hours a week they are working and continuing the training, I have 1 that is a blind puppy..so he takes time and patience. So on a scale 1-10 I would say 9 or 10

    Italian Mastiff-4 years
    Italian Mastiff-5 years
    Italian Mastiff-7 years
    Doberman-3 years
    Doberman-5 years
    Doberman-8 years
    Jack Russell-2 years
    Mastiff-6 month-blind

  • Maybe a 8 or 9. he is 2 years old and a beagle. I walk him maybe 3 to 4 times a week, and ALWAYS play with him, training would be maybe 5 days a week. I LOVE my doggy!!!

  • 10
    Lab greyhound mix - 3
    24 hrs. Fun
    Training 2 hrs a year

  • i have 2 dogs both are sisters

    there 3 years old

    one is a 10- irish wolf hound

    the other one is like a 8 -irish wolf hound

    i walk my dog 1 hr a day
    I play with them like 24/7 probably like 4 hrs
    traning 5rs a week

  • Chuckles - almost 11 years - Labrador/German Shepherd Dog mix - 2.
    Sampson - 1 year old - Labrador/Chow Chow mix - 5. How well does he respond? 8.

    Well.. I play with them a LOT, but I don't keep track of the time. Training has been slow in the winter, but I will be doing more in the summer.

  • Mollie: age 1 1/2. Breed: Half min pin, half beagle.
    I'd say she's maybe a 6 going on 7. She is very intelligent. She sits, creeps, rolls over, stands, speaks, and high fives you. She also pees and poops on command.
    I spend about 6 hours a week walking her, another 30 minutes a day playing in the fence, which is also lots of running and exercise.
    I practice training with her through out the day. Maybe, 20 minutes a day when we are done playing so her energy level is down and she can focus on me better.

    Berry: Age 1. Breed: Half basset hound, half beagle.
    All of the times above apply to him as well, but since he is younger and a little more slow and stubbern, he's maybe a 5. He sits, rolls over, speaks and pees on command. I'm working with him in pooping on command, and for some reason he just doesn't get "shake" or "high five".

  • 8-9 on the scale
    his 1-2 years old
    his pitbull/boxer
    i walk him at the minium 7 hours a day.
    i play with him whenver i am home and not busy and his not sleeping so it varied but it would be ore than 7 hours
    training-- a week?? 3-5 hours
