Yup. Me again. Me the dog trainer asking a dog training question.... I went to a Sally Palmer class for my dog and he learned everything (at the CLASSROOM or one day later, cuz he learns so fast!) except Come and Heel. Heel Isn't a biggy for me. When I start walking he stays by my side and (awesomeness!) never goes after rabbits or deer or anything else for that matter, when he's on the lead. He onlly perks up his ears, but he stays by my side. He's SO awesome at that. So I have two complaints.
1. How do I teach him to Come whenever I call? I tried the on the line, let him wander, call, reel him in. Or throw a ball, then say come, reel him in. But our two Border Collie mixes are SO smart that they only get jerked back ONCE and they won't go after the ball. They'll just stay there. So then I tried throwing treats. Not working well either.
2. I failed to metion he goes nuts on the line and WON'T stay by my side if there is another dog. I think that is because whenever we see another dog, his BROTHER who is a (sadly) TERRIBLE walker will lunge ahead towards it and I think Snapshot is copying him. Snapshot is the best walker. But his bro Diggity IS Smarter..... So I wanna know if come willl cut it on that.
3. he is NUTS about balls! If he sees a Tennis Ball....oh boy... How do I stop this...almost...obsession?? I worked on it a while ago till I could roll it, bounce it and throw it on him and he would ignore it. But he won't take his eyes off it when I throw it accrose the yard.
Thanks you so much! You don't have to answer all, but at least one.
Hunting Dog Supplies Can Help Ensure Proper Dog Training and a Successful Hunt
Recommended Answer:I have some of the same problems with my dog (except he's not so nice when he sees a rabbit) and what i did was teach him to sit and stay and once he was good at that i got a treat and made him sit and stay. I wouldn't give him the treat but I let him know that i had it. Then i walked away making sure he stayed and then i called for him to come. He came and sat. i fed him the treat and i repeated those steps until i felt like i didn't need the treat anymore and he still comes. try using the same hand motions because my dog responds well to the hand motions i always made when teaching him come. I hope this helps!
Shock Collar Dog Training the Quick and Easy Way
- Start with the come command and give him a treat every time you say it. Than throw the tennis ball and say come if he comes he gets a treat. than use treats less and less often. and only reward him by petting him saying good boy. But be sure to throw treats in there once in a while. Worked with mine hope this helps.
- Show your dog some porn, that should make it come.
- take him to a dog school to train him
