Dog Health Questions: I am looking for a large wireless door bell button, (the button could be larger than a 50 cent piece), ideas?

-it's actually for dog training, it has to be larger than your average door bell, and easy to push.



Basic Dog Training Obedience - Puppy Behavior Tips



Recommended Answer:
If you use a section of coil spring circling the press button and place a piece of perspex or mdf above and below this should give you the stability Screw doorbell button to piece of MDF then put coil spring around the doorbell and hold it in place with clips the coil spring should be very slightly higher than the button then then fix the piece of MDF that will be pressed to operate the bell you may need a couple of blocks of Mdf to prevent the large button damaging the wireless unit

  • Maybe you could just glue something larger onto the doorbell button.

Dog Health Questions: Dog Training a Lab?

I am trying to train my 2yr old Lab not to run away... and so far I am having a hard time getting him to listen... does any one have some ideas??

Hunting Dog Supplies Can Help Ensure Proper Dog Training and a Successful Hunt



Recommended Answer:
i know they will ALWAYS answer to food...if that helps at all.
run away as in you call him and he runs away? or he escapes out of the yard ?

if he escapes out of the yard its up to you to get a good fence.

if he runs away when you call him you tie a REALLY long rope (10m would be good) to his collar and let him walk around the yard with the rope trailing behind him. you get near the end of the rope and call him. if he tries to run away stand on the rope. then call him again still standing on the rope. start walking towards him on the rope, every few steps trying to call him. if he does come - reward him with food and a pat. and then begin all over again. they eventually realise you are always going to be able to get them. and he will be happy to come to you if he is going to be rewarded. eventually when he gets the knack of it. just reward him with pats. !! GOOD LUCK!! i had to do this with my dog. it works wonders!

4 Core Basics of Dog Training


  • Keep him on a leash, that seems to work for most dogs.

  • try getting an inground or above ground fence. That will keep him close.

  • keep him on a long lash and when he stays with you give him a treat. also have a collier and id tag on him. keep pic. of him to.

  • If he is not neutered, then do so, this will eliminate his desire to hunt for a female. Labs have very high energy, so they need to be walked our played with for a couple of hrs after you get home. Gentle leaders are wonderful for those who are not willing to walk on leash and collar, enquire at your vets office.

  • LOL...try taping his legs together! No, just kidding. I would venture to say, put him on a leash while in the backyard and teach him the command for "Stay" as you know, Labs are great learners as well as lovers. Remove the leash and continue to give the command "Stay" don't forget the loads of patience you are going to need for this. Get the spouse and kids to help out.

    If all else fails. go back to the original idea..."taping the legs" lol...j/k!

Dog Health Questions: Dog training.?

I have a two-year old, 155 lb. Bullmastiff. My dogs name is Keira. We are having some problems. I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. We have neighbors that live down the road about 100 ft. They have two horses and Keira ALWAYS chases them. We also have a problem with her jumping on people. She is A VERY VERY friendly dog, but she just needs to learn how to behave. A little slap on the butt doesn't affect her. so dont even suggest that. I HATE it when I am trying to watch TV and I am sitting on the floor, and she jumps on me. I CANT EVEN SIT ON THE FLOOR! And her WORST problem is that whenever Me, or my Parents are outside, she comes charging at you as fast as she can and runs into you and knocks you on the ground. When you are trying to ride a bike, she grabs your feet when you are peddling and PULLS HARD! I usually end up falling off of the bike. But PLEASE! we dont want to call a personal trainer, (or cesar millan...lol} so please dont suggest that. I love her like CRAZY!

a dog who chases horses is bored and looking for something to do.. she needs obedience lessons and practice to keep her mind stimulated so she doesnt get bored...

Dog Training Advice - How To Do Obedience Training For Your Dog


  • Pigs are excellent trainers i strongly suggest you buy one or steal one from a farm that way is more fun

  • Try taking her to dog obediance. if there isnt a dog ovediance class near you, than go onto the internet and look up traing methods. i had the same problem with my to dogs and a little obediance helpped to control them. Just try simple commands eg sit, come, stay liedown and NO. Also when ever she jumps on you tell her down or no and turn away and dont pay her any attention. She isnt a bad dog she just needs some obediance put into her.

  • It is easier to train a dog for good behavior than breaking the bad behavior...It sounds like the best thing you could teach your dog is "stay". It would solve about every problem. You can go to Petsmart or Petco and buy training treats (little ones so you don't interfere with a good diet while training). Find a quiet place with little distraction...get your dog to sit, then hold up your hand palm towards the dog and give the stay command...back up 2 or 3 steps, wait 2 seconds, then say good dog and give a treat. Back up farther each time until you are able to leave their sight and come back. Give lots of praise with the treats (dogs love this the most). Slowly introduce the command with other things...such as when someone comes over

  • I recommend you visit the website I went to when my dog had behavioral issues a while back. It transformed my dog's behavior. Good Luck!

  • You have a problem! While not impossible, normal training procedures will be extremely difficult to correct your girl. If I were in your situation, I would get an electronic training collar. These collars deliver a shock to the dog when you press a remote control that is carried in your hand. They should be used ONLY when she is in the act of doing wrong! Never shock her AFTER she has done wrong. This is important..... she must be taught that there are things she cannot do. Very simple. Very effective! And lastly.... never scold her after using the collar, and always praise her when she does well. Training collars are usually available on eBay.

Small Dog Training - Small Dogs Need to Feel They Are Pleasing You


  • OK, first, see if there any reasonably priced trainers in your area, I have done drills with dogs that were profesionally trained or where the owner went through a training course with a profesional trainer, and the dogs are superior to dogs trained from a book, not that you would not try, but my brother had a Lab, his name was Strike, Sky Watch Radar's Lucky Strike in full, I know he had more than 750 points in field trials, just not sure how many more, plus this dog kicked *** in the field (my brother actually used to show him off by having him return birds to other hunters who didn't have dogs, on whistle signals alone; this dog knew right from left by whistle better than people I have worked with know it by word), he was trained by Bill Cox of Labs Unlimited in Valparaiso IN (219) 464-3647 not sure if he trains pointers or not but he might steer you right and he won't mind being advertised

  • go to

    North American versatile hunting dog association. i have been a member for over 20 years. they have a great support structure for those new to hunting with dogs. there are a lot of very knowledgeable people with contact info on the site. i hunt Pudelpointers and Labs and have gotten great tips and advice from members.
    best of luck and enjoy.

    There is an online magazine on this site that is very informative. You can also search all of their back issues.

    "The complete guide to bird dog training" by John R Falk is one of the more popular training books. It's extremely comprehensive, teaching you what kind of dog to pick, how to pick from a litter, how to train the different breeds, etc.

    One of the best tools i've found for dog training is a show called "The Dog Whisperer" by Cesar Millan. His show is on the national geographic channel (which I don't get). I picked up Season 1 of his show on ebay for 35 bucks. It's worth every penny. This will teach you how to get inside your dogs mind and to understand how they think. If you don't get anything else, get this dvd set.

Dog Health Questions: Akita dog training please help?

I have Akita dog's and i want to learn how to train them. I just want basic stuff like sit,stay,stand that stuff please help

Common Gun Dog Training Equipment



Recommended Answer:
Sit is just about the easiest trick to teach a dog.

Sit: Have some treats ready, and a clicker. Raise the treat above the dogs nose, and pull it back so his head leans back. When his rump hits the ground, click and treat. After awhile start using the word sit.

Stay: Have your dog sit, and hold your palm in front of his muzzle and say stay. Every three seconds click and treat, only if he remains in a stay. If he moves, start over. After awhile, start using the word stay.

Stand: Have your dog in a sit position, and then lift his body up so he's standing. Click and treat. After awhile start using the word stand. Or up.

Here is a site that I enjoy looking at:

Dog Training Command - Communicating With Your Dog


  • take him to pet co or email or call the dog whispperer cesar

  • an akita as a first dog? you got an akita and don't know how to train it??? bad move dude.... horrible... that breed is not for first time owners... you can give me a thumbs down, but you need to hear this.... and go to obedience school with it! they are capable of inflicting a lot of pain with their powerful jaws. they are a very dominant breed and need to be trained early... and trust me, sit and stay are the least of your worries

  • Akita's can be mean if not trained properly. They are the boss from day one. I would definitely check out obedience school or that one.

  • teaching your dog is a hard and enjoyably job and you should enjoy it i know that teaching your dog is hard however.

    Sit Stay Fetch is a comprehensive guide to owning, rearing, and training your dog. The course provides you with a step-by-step instruction manual and self-help guide on how to recognize and resolve problem behaviors with maximum efficiency and a surprisingly quick turnaround time. Written by the renowned Daniel Stevens, an experienced dog trainer, the book covers all aspects of dog ownership, offering tried-and-true training methods as well as effective techniques for both preventing and dealing with problem behavior.
    What's Covered?

    I was pleasantly surprised at just how much information's been covered. Sit Stay Fetch starts at the very basics - things to consider before adopting a dog, choosing the right breed and dog for you, puppy-proofing your home, dealing with breeders, basic training; and then moves on at a comfortable pace through intermediate and advanced obedience training and 'tricks', the mindset of a dog, attaining and maintaining alpha status, aggression in all shapes and forms, biting, both preventing and handling destructive behavior like digging, chewing and barking, anxiety, coprophagia (poop eating), dog whispering, and even understanding how your dog thinks.
    How It Works

    Daniel Stevens recognizes that a great deal of the cause for problematic behaviors in dogs stems from a general lack of communication with the owner. The dog most likely is not misbehaving deliberately; it simply doesn't understand what you want. Sit Stay Fetch understands that owners need training, too, and clearly demonstrates how dogs communicate, what your dog is thinking, how you can clearly and effectively communicate with your dog, and - most importantly - how to put this knowledge to excellent use when training and handling your dog. Knowledge really is power, and your relationship with your dog will benefit dramatically from it.

  • Hi!

    You need a full and proven dog training program.

    "SitStayFetch" is one of the most popular dog training products on the market written by Daniel Stevens, an experienced dog trainer, for every dog owners who know that the experience of training their dog has or will continue to establish a better relationship with their four legs friend.

    First when I read SitStayFetch ebook, I was surprised at lots of information has been covered. The 186 page book is broken down into different sections step-by-step, each one dealing with a different aspect of dog ownership. SitStayFetch starts from a basic that dog owner should know. 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.

    This simple technique helps in improving the relationship between you and your dog. And it also doesn't just focus on one or two aspects of dog ownership. SitStayFetch deals with all common problem behaviors, step-by-step approach tells you exactly what to do and when to do it.

    SitStayFetch works because of the tips and advice come directly from the author's real-life experience. You also can sign up for free 6 days mini course which covers selected training methods and behavior fixing methods that are used in SitStayFetch ebook.

    So if you want to have a good relationship with your dog and get rid of dog problems, I think SitStayFetch will definitely help you reach your goals.

The 5 Best Dog Training Tips For You and Your Dog


  • You need to get a pinch collar and learn how to use it properly. This collar mimics the feeling of a momma dog nipping her puppies neck to correct them. They work wonders! We volunteer for a local shelter and foster different dogs all the time. We learned this procedure and use it on all our dogs and it works everytime! Cesar Milan uses this technique also!

  • First, get a no pull harness. That will stop her straining and pulling at the end of the leash because it's uncomfortable under the arms if they pull.

    Next, change directions, a few steps, and make your dog sit with it's back to anything it's over reacting to. Repete till dog gets the idea that calm looking is ok, and barking lunging, circling on the lead etc, doesn't get them the response they want.

    Take treats while walking , kitty kibble usually is interesting enough and easy to carry, and give tiny treats when they act calm or sit when told.

    Be sure your dog is getting plenty of mental and physical exercise to keep healthy and mentally/emotionally balanced. Maybe find an agility course and trainer that you could work with, or teach your dog to search for things you hide around the house and yard.

    Enjoy your little dog, sounds like a smart and eager one.

Dog Health Questions: I need help with where to find advanced dog training techniques.?

I have a really smart border collie mix. I have taught her all the basic commands like sit, stay, down, dance, roll over. I want to teach her more, but don't know how. Where can I get some good techniques to teach a smart dog amazing stuff?

The Basic Commands of Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
One bit of advanced training I recommend is doing all the things you've taught him, and take it to the Seuss level- can he do it on a box, can he do it with a fox (another dog nearby running around), can he do it here and there, can he do it anywhere? IOW, think of as many permutations as you can, and make sure the dog can do it anywhere under any conditions- could you go on Letterman with a crowd in front, bright lights, cameras that roll in, etc?

Have you considered training for a dog sport like agility or freestyle? Youtube has some videos that show lots of different behaviors/skills for these sports.

I also love doing some of the mental work that BCs love so much- playing hot and cold targeting games. If you have a chance to get to a Kathy Sdao seminar- go! I have some vids on youtube of my dog doing some hot and cold targeting

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOAcI8FOk…

There are also some vids of her skateboarding and doing a handstand, as well as agility.
