For instance, things to consider before adopting a dog, choosing the right breed, dealing with breeders, the secrets of dog training; and then moves on at common dog problems including biting and nipping, aggression, jealousy, digging holes, disobedience, separation anxiety, fights with other dogs, destructive behavior and even understanding how your dog thinks.
The core of SitStayFetch system is the communication between dog and owner. Daniel Stevens understands that most of common dog problems are from the lack of communication. Your dog simply doesn't understand what you want. SitStayFetch demonstrates how dogs communicate, what are they thinking, how you can communicate with them effectively.

5 Levels of Dog Training
- hi,
No dog is born with good manners. Pooping on the carpet, leaping enthusiastically onto guests, pulling so hard he practically yanks your arm out of the socket when on walks--that's all perfectly acceptable in the canine world. It's up to you to teach your dog to behave the way we humans want him to. Not training your dog and expecting him to be pleasant to live with is like never sending your child to school and expecting him to ace the SATs.
here are some guidelines:

hope this helps.
- be repetitive. when you try to teach tricks just make sure you constantly practice. if you are working on a punishment, be repetitive. always do the same things so they wont forget.always reward when something is done right. weather it is a treat or pat on the head.
- have you used clicker training before? have you done the association part of clicker training? click-give treat click-give treat, so they know the clicker sounds mean its a reward.
Have you tried different treats? some times different ones work better, (took a while to find one that made my dog listen)
Some times its actually good to have a dog bark, its usually them warning you something is going on, so teaching them not to bark at some things, wont work... letting them bark say 3 times then giving them the "shhh" "hush" "quiet" "thats enough" command to let them no you acknowledge whats going on and there is no need to bark any more, to do this you need to get something that sets them off, whats guaranteed to make them bark? door bell? if so get a family member or friend to ring the door bell, let them bark a little then use the command, if they do not stop dont open the, when they stop give a treat and open the door, they key is to repeat until it works instantly.
- what i do is disipline them when they are bad and praise them when they are good. They sell collars that will spray your dgo when they bark, they can be costly but they work, or to disipline your dogs when they do something bad spray them with water. when you train your dogs you want their full undivided attention, so i would reccomend going into a quiet room with just you and the dog. teaching your dog to sit is probably the easyest, to teach your dog to sit hold a treat in front of him/ her and raise it over their head and backwards making them automatically go into the sit position , then give them the command and the treat, do this repeatedley maybe 2 or 3 times then come back to it later and do the same thing.
- dog training tips well when your dog does somthing wrong don't correct them with there name say something like no or stop just not there name. Also be strong and assertive and your dog wil lbe under your control i mean i have learn al lthese tips from some one i know who got some info check out the website that have awsome information.
- Hi, I do understand your dilemma as I had to bite the bullet and get my Lab signed up for class. My suggestion is to check local dog clubs sometimes if you are a member you can get training fairly cheap, also as I am attendinng classes at an animal rescue league I would suggest them too, they are fairly reasonable s to cost. At some point you will be able to do your own trainingbut it is always best to get a foundation from a qualified instructor. Now as for training tips, my suggestion from my experience, is practice practice practice and PLENTY of patience. I would also suggest training them each 1 on 1 so you can focus on each of their problems seperately, and you can base the training on their positive attributes as opposed to the negative, as we sometimes do, as humans. My puppy is a yellow lab 5 mts, and I work with him several times a day. Whenever I have a few moments we work, and when done we PLAY, as it is important to have downtime. I hope this has helped, and GOOD LUCK!
