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: How can i cope with getting rid of my dog, when i know its not his fault?

I have a staff, i got him when he was 9 weeks old (10 months now), he was the perfect dog he sits, lays, shakes your hand, plays dead, jumps, speaks and was 100% housetrained up until about 2 months ago when he started to pin down me and my little sister .. poo in the house ... now he just snaps at me if i tell him off .. he runs away all the time ... has started to become vicious towards other dogs .. he has no respect for me and doesn't listen to a word i say, I've tried crate training, neutering him, muzzle training, praising him if he does anything right, dog training lessons ... no one can help .. i walk him for about 2 - 3 hours a day and ever feed him sugary foods, i always stick to the same rules, and yet i love him with all my heart, i am in all day so hes never left on his own .. i cant think where ive gone wrong .. i cant handle him anymore and its making me depressed and i keep taking it out on other people, how can i cope with saying goodbye? and how can i cope when my house is going to be so empty without him, but i cant think of another option :( .. has anyone got any experience with getting rid of a dog as i don't and how can i cope with the emptiness i am going to feel, but i know deep down hes doing me more harm being around me because of his stubbornness.

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



Recommended Answer:
Well, why not try one more time.

Your dog needs a good leader.
An emotional leader is not a leader, dogs dont listen to emotion like people do.

Dogs respond aggresively to aggression.

Implement NILIF imediately.
Limit freedom. Tether him to you in the house and only allow him free in a limited room that you can see him at all angles. No sneaking behind the corner for potty breaks.
Take him outside to go potty(think of keyword to give him when he needs to go), on a lead and dont take him in until he goes. He needs to go out every 30 minutes.

If he gives you a hard time, just stand there. Chase him and its a game.

Learn to speak dog. Since you are home everyday, you can start doing more than just walking him. I am sure he would love to go to a field and just run.
Try a baseball field, just clean up before you leave. Pit bull owners dont go to the actual dog park, because it doesnt matter who started it, the pit gets the blame because of the breed.

What are you feeding him?

Muzzles are just a cover up for the problem.

Gain your dogs respect. You have to earn it, and do not treat him like a baby, he is a dog and needs you to become more dog like.

Discover Why Dog Training Ebooks And PDF's Are All The Rage These Days


  • You do know that puppies go through an "adolescent stage" from 6 months to one year, where they are very, very ill-behaved, right?

    This is why people should get adult dogs and not puppies.

  • At this point, you need a behaviorist -- not a regular trainer.

  • As someone else said, he is in the Adolescent stage- 8months to 36 months is considered the adolescent stage. Maybe he needs more than just simple walks. Try biking with him or rollerblading with him to wear him out, then work on training. Remember, you are the pack leader so you have to behave like one. You cannot ever, under any circumstances be afraid of your dog, or you give him power. I struggled with this one myself when I got my dog. He has to have boundaries and limitations. Do not let him have the run of the house. Especially if he is doing his business inside. Watch some dog whisperer, and maybe read one or two of his books if you can. Also, here is a link to a site that may be able to help you some more-
    www.staffyclub.com. I would say not to give up on him yet. Give it some more time, and if you feel as if you can't handle it yourself, absolutely contact a dog behaviorist. Good luck!

Dog Health Questions: Fastest way for my dog to lose weight, please help, i am taking my dog to school for a class presentation and?

she is a little chubby, she is a 2 year old terrier mix she is about the same size as a jack russell terrrier, my presentation is on dog training, i go to hs the presentation is going to be next week on thursday for my animal (Vet) science class.

I am going to show my classmates the tricks i have taught my dog but 1st i need her to lose some weight in a week, i dont know if that possible but some good sugestions would be appreciated thanks
i cant buy her a diet dog food bag right now (we still have dog food)

Using the Right Dog Training Treats



Recommended Answer:
You can take her out and start exercising her more, but I don't know that she's going to lose significant weight in a week.

She really shouldn't have gotten to a point where she's fat in the first place. It's TERRIBLE for them. It's so hard on their joints that many fat dogs end up crippled with arthritis at a fairly young age.

Dog Training Tips


  • It is ironic that you are taking your overweight dog to an Animal Science class... and that your main concern is with appearances.

    Though our canine companions are now domesticated, think how often a wild animal eats a full meal. Our canine gluttony is a conditioned response to the convenience of the human schedule and our own bad eating habits. Your dog will not starve in a day.

    My breed, the Akita Inu fasts naturally for days, as they choose. After several days of disinterest, they return to their regular habit. Though "going off feed" is usually a sign of illness to watch for, it does allow the animal's system to rest and cleanse.

    You could safely fast your dog for a day or two (or more)as long as she has fresh water available at all times. I stress the access to water, because that will help to curb her appetite and to flush the gut. This does mean however, no "treats" just because she is begging or whining... an occasional fast is fine for a healthy dog, but do it right if you are going to do it at all.

    Extra play time will not hurt her and be a good distraction, but don't run her into the ground. Or expect to see much of a difference because you are looking at only a matter of a week.

    Before your presentation, give her a small meal with plenty of time for any to be eliminated before being taken to class. It will help her focus on her performance, and she won't be acting desperate for food. She will still be eager to earn her treats as a trickster, but don't overdo the "candy".

    Since she will still be overweight, you should continue her reducing diet. Use the same food she is eating, as her system is accustomed to it, just cut the portions back to about 2/3 of the recommended portion (read the bag and use a measure cup). Make her kibble into soup with warm water stirred in, it will make a gravy of sorts and bulk it up. You can add rice or most vegetables you will be eating that day, but do not give any treats, meats or fats.

    Most people feed once a day in the evening (some actually break it into 2 meals). If you can, at least switch to a morning main feed for the duration of the "diet".

    Give up the commercial treats altogether and offer more healthful snacks if you feel you must. (I am baking chicken livers right now to "treat" a foster Mini Schnauzer in need of training and extra calories).

    I feel that canned food is pretty much a waste of money, just add your own water. Spend on a quality kibble and also regularly feed dry to keep teeth clean.

    Fasting once a week until at a proper weight is acceptable.
    If your young, terrier type dog is already "chubby" then she will most likely wind up obese because her human's bad habits are "killing her with kindness".

    Be aware of dog.

  • I would worry more about helping your pet lose wet in a safe, healthy manner rather than quickly. I cut back on my Rott's food a tad bit and made sure that she exercised more. I always made sure that we were not overdoing the exercise and that she was not starving. If she is getting a lot of extra treats in addition to her food, cut out the treats and leave the food amount the same. Many soft treats contain a lot of calories with little nutritional value. These should be the first to go. If you still want to give her a treat, consider carrots or even ice cubes. Just remember to keep your girl's health a top priority not just her figure!!

  • Normal exersice and controled food intake are the only healthy and responsible ways to maintain a dogs weight. I doubt you'll have time to responsibly get the dog to loose much weight in a week. Check the food guidelines on the bag of food you're feeding her and only give him that amount. Also take her for nice long walks. Two walks lasting about an hour each every day will certainly help the dog loose weight.

  • ok first off thats impossible and she needs to lose weight why? its just tricks

  • You can exercise her and watch how much food she takes in. I have three Jack Russells and they eat 2/3 cup for the bigger, more active ones and a 1/2 cup for the smaller less active one. I don't think it's possible for her to loose weight in that small amount of time. Before you take her for the presentation, make sure to feed her a little less that morning so she's a little more hungry and more willing to work for treats. She'll get her regular amount with the treats. This way she'll be a little more willing to show off her tricks. Those Terriers can be a little goofy. We feed a little less on compotision days so the dogs will pay better attention when we have treats.

  • I believe you should put this dog on a diet, not because you want to impress your school mates or because you are embarassed because she is "a little chubby", but because it is the healthy thing to do for her, not for you. What we do for our dogs at the rescue where I work is to give them 1/4 cup of their normal dry kibble, and 1/4 cup green beans. This way, the green beans help them to feel full, but doesn't add all the fat the kibble will. Make sure you have a desired weight in mind so that she doesn't lose too much weight. Then you can add more kibble back into the mix. Do this for her, not for you! :)

  • Umm.. sorry, but there aren't any "Hollywood" 24 hr diet drinks for dogs.. it'll take longer than a week to show any improvement.. try walking your dog, and maybe switching foods, or at least dropping the portion size.

  • Take her for walks and cut down on the amount of dog food you do feed her. And if you give her lots of treats and/or human food, stop doing it.

  • You never want a dog to lose weight fast!! Since dogs are small, losing weight quickly can damage their internal organs & possibly cause renal failure.
    Take your dog to the vet for a sensible weight-loss plan. If you change your dog's food, do it gradually by mixing it in his other food over 5-7 days. Some low-calorie snacks include baby carrots and green beans.

  • This is one of the most sickening questions I've seen.

    How could you be so superficial?

    I'm blown away that you would want to put your dog on a crash diet. If your dog isn't healthy why would you want to make her more unhealthy by shocking her system? If she needs to lose weight for health reasons, do it the right way. Consult her vet and put her on weight management food or a super premium food like Canidae.

Dog Health Questions: Training Help!?

How can I get respect as a dog trainer? I'm currently at college getting a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Business. After this I plan to go to a 12 weeks dog training academy in Houston, TX to learn about different types of training, get certified, etc. Then I plan to own and operate my own dog training facility. I know a lot about training, and I just have an uncanny natural connection with dogs, the problem is, I'm still young, and I don't know if people will take me seriously/trust me. How can I gain respect?

A Long Tradition of Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
you will gain respect not ny what you say but by what you do. Allow your work to prove to others that you are fully qualified. Let others be your mouthpiece. A satisfied customer is the greatest form of avertising there is..

How To Download A Book On Dog Training


  • try short training demonstrations at your local park and shopping centre

  • You may be young, but your bachelor's degree and dog training certificate will speak for itself.
    Have confidence in yourself!

  • By being polite dressing nice being respectful....Explaining that you have been certified and that you have uncanny natural connection with dogs....Also, have a lawyer draw up your contracts..Keep your facility clean be on time....Keep working hours, regular hours and just be professional....Learn how to set up a small business ...get software for small business

  • Makes friends with people who work at pet stores, and pet store owners, and other dog trainers.

    Maybe visit dog parks and network.

    Build a list of references.

    Go out in public with your well trained dogs, and practice training. Who knows, maybe someone will be impressed and ask you how you do it!

  • Have you thought about any type of competition? Schutzhund, agility, herding, AKC stuff?? Trophy's on your wall are alot more impressive than any school certificate. Rubbing shoulders with your "soon to be" peers is an excellent way to learn and gain respect at the same time.

    I don't want to mess up your plan at all, but....in the last 30 years I've had over 50 applicants with "Master Trainer" certificates try to get work with me. Not ONE could train a dog. Oh sure, they could train a lab or golden....but they were NOT dog trainers. It's basically ALOT of money to learn a few methods. Your money would be better spent on kennels, leashes, collars, advertising....go to the library and go to seminars. Build 5 kennels, adopt a yorkie, shar pei, gsd, mastiff (type) and an afghan. When those 5 are off-leash, around ANY distraction, you will be alot closer to being a dog trainer than 10 years at school will make you. Next, branch into different types of training...herding, S&R, protection, etc. If you have "natural" ability, and train all day/every day/different breeds/all types of training, in 3-5 years, you'll be a good trainer and be well respected.

Dog Health Questions: Is Uncle Matty Dog Training any good?

I was just wondering if anyone has used this service and what results you got and if it is worth checking into.

Clicker Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
I have not heard his name for years.

I was in an infomercial for him many years ago with my dog.

I don't think much of him as a trainer, he really was ahead of his time in marketing though and was big here in Southern California for a time. He did use an annoying hight pitch voiced with the dogs that made nails on a chalk board sound good.

I totally love the Thumb loop leash he sells on his website. Its what I use in competition and training for obedience.

http://www.unclematty.com/store/closeup.…

Here is his website http://www.unclematty.comADD: If you are looking for a dog trainer in the Los Angeles area where you can train with your dog, I can give you a link here.
I would NOT send a dog to his "training school" or work with one of his so called "trainers". They become trainers by doing an online class...ay yi yi

I can give you a referral to someone who trained with Bill Koehler.

Easy Dog Obedience Training Can Be Done at Home With a Do it Yourself Dog Training Program


  • Never heard of it.
    Wish you'd told us what size and breed you have.

    I have not been impressed with obedience classes for dogs. There's just too much chaos for the dog to focus on the owner. They have other dogs to smell, other owners to hear, the trainer usually focues in on the worst dog while the others aren't being instructed on correct proceedure.

    I have watched puppy obedience at Petsmart. They accomplished absolutely nothing while I watched one session. No one was listening to the trainer. They were lucky to be able to hear her.

    If you have a larger breed, I would suggest buying Leerburg's Basic Obedience Training DVD. $40 and if you follow it you'll get a very well-behaved dog who will listen to you within a season of training. But you must meet the exercise needs of whatever breed you own also. And learn to be your dog's Pack Leader no matter what size it is.

  • Hi friend, Actually i don't know much about Uncle Matty Dog Training, but i have used tips that give my puppy a change. you can check it out at the site below.

  • Based on what I've seen of him on TV - I wouldn't hire him or recommend to others. I haven't even seen or heard anything of him for years, until this question :)

  • I have never hear of that one, but it might be a good one to try and see what results you will get.

Dog Health Questions: Dog training, dog knows better, quits cooperating?

I adopted a 1 1/2 yo dog and have had for about ten days. Dog is quickly opening to me. It has a seperation anxiety I am working on and the stay command may need to be longer. Today, I brought a ball inside the house (sorry mom), and it was the first time she showed interest and indeed fetched the ball three times in a row. She never looked at the ball in any previous daily attempts this week.

I praised her after each retrieval and hand over, but i tried to reinforce the stay command using the ball and may have confused her, as she never fetched again. Wouldn't even open her mouth to the ball. This is the most recent example where she has shown an ability, but lacks consistent desire for follow through. Please help.

Also, any pointer on when to give up on a command, and how to move forward without rewarding a failed listen? Do i go with the failsafe sit, so she stays positive, or what else? Help she is a very good dog and I don't want to lose her by doing things wrong.

Training Your Dog at Home - Save Thousands of Dollars on Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
Not all dogs play the same way. My dog is not into fetch at all. I've tried to teach him many times, but he just isn't into it. He likes to play by just running around in crazy circles, and he plays with his toys by destroying them. That's his personality. Have you taken her to the dog park? See if she likes that. Or try other toys--tug toys or frisbees. Try stuff out and see what she likes.

Also, what kind of ball was it? My dog likes baseballs the best. Try Kong toys with cheese or peanut butter in them...try to make the toys something she really wants. Wait until you can tell she's in a playful mood, and try to play with her then. If you're trying to play with her when she's tired, she's not going to be into it.

The Main Benefits Of Dog Training


  • Consistency is the key to your dog being obedient. You and everyone in your family have to be consistent. Follow through is very important. Never give your dog a command that you can't, or aren't willing to enforce.

    Be careful not to overload the dog with information. Training takes time and patience.

  • Too much, take time with training. The dog is only with you 10 days, it needs time to adjust and to adapt to new people and a new environment. You may be pushing too hard. Have some fun with the dog, bond, play, go for walks, play more.

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

    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).

Dog Health Questions: Dog training help please?

I taught my 7 month old dog to sit, stay and down.
Then just yesterday after a very long training session I taught him to kneel (bow) and now everytime I tell him to sit or down he just ends up kneeling.

I have a feeling I might have messed up or something. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get him to tell the difference

5 Dog Training Tips to Stop Barking



Recommended Answer:
You haven't messed anything up so don't worry. It is because your dog has learnt something new and that is at the front of his mind.

Tomorrow go back to the sit command and he will remember it and then after a break go back to the kneel.

He will soon learn the difference.

Sounds like you're doing a great job with him keep it up.

:-)

Dog Training Tricks - What Is The Best Dog Training Trick?


  • He may be kneeling because its a novel way to gain rewards. If you ask for a command and he gives you another simply don't reward him for it. Instead, wait a few seconds for him to correct himself and do the correct behavior. If he doesn't, give a no reward marker, have him sit, and repeat the command for no reward. Then you can ask him to do the reward a third time for a treat.

    Continue practicing all the tricks, mixing up the order you do them in, and give clear hand signals as well. Then you'll also make sure they know them well by giving only the signal sometimes, and only giving verbal cues sometimes.

  • What I do with my dog is I say the command and also make hand gestures so she knows the difference. You have to make them very different from eachother and make the command clear. For example when I want her to sit I put my hand in a fist and turn it upside down. When I want her to Lay I slowly bring my hand down in a flat position and when I want her to turn I make a twirling motion with my finger.

  • If you were particularly excited when he finally picked up on 'BOW', more so than when you were repping the other commands he already knew, the dog may have sensed this. If he feels he got a better reward or a better reaction for bowing he may be going straight to a bow to try to impress you more.

    Some suggestions:

    Mark correct execution of a command with a positive marker immediately followed by a treat. Mark incorrect execution of a command with a negative marker and no treat. An easy and common method used in verbal marker training is 'YES' + a treat for correct behaviors and 'NO' + no treat for incorrect behaviors. Make sure if you use no to mark incorrect behaviors you say it calmly and evenly. NEVER use this same word in a mad or frustrated tone of voice, or to correct BAD behavior that isn't an honest mistake on the dog's part. The first few times you may have to say "NO", then coax the dog to stand, then give the 'SIT' command again. But when they finally react properly and you mark it with a positive word and a treat, they will start to make the connection. The 'NO' came because they bowed when they were supposed to sit. To fix the situation they should go to a sit. When you do this right the dog becomes a natural problem solver, making a conscious effort to figure out what he's doing wrong on his own and then fix it any time you say the word 'NO' during your training.

    Always rep commands in different orders. Avoid cycling through commands in the same sequence. Once the learning phase is over and you're just reinforcing what the dog already understands, you can do it one of two ways. I would suggest minimizing hand gestures or body movements while you give commands so the dog learns to focus on the word and not on your gestures. A dog could learn to key in on a hand gesture you're subconsciously making every time you say 'BOW' without you ever even realizing it. Then if you move your hands in the same way from time to time when you tell him to 'SIT' he may instead 'BOW'. If you want to use hand gestures, that's fine. But you have to be consistent and use the same ones for the same commands, ALWAYS.

    Heavy praise is good for some situations, but when repping commands, avoid getting excessive about it in any given situation. It might put a higher value in the dog's mind in some commands as compared to others. Meaning you may say 'SIT' but if he knows you always go crazy with praise when he 'BOWS' he'll go that extra mile for you.

    I don't know what you define as a 'long' training session. But realize, a 7 month old pup can only stay focused for so long. It's better to limit sessions to 10 minutes TOPS and focus on teaching one thing at a time. It could be if your dog is getting mentally tired and losing focus towards the end of the training sessions, the best he can do at that point is keep reverting to whatever command he learned most recently that's freshest in his mind. You want your training session to end on a good note, before he gets to that point.

Dog Health Questions: Dog training in colorado?

How would I do opening an at home buisness on my ranch with dog grooming, boarding, and training? I would train basic obedience, agility, tracking, schutzhund, bomd detection, search and rescue ex. How would I do as far as buisness and pay? I know the economy is bad right now but this won't be for atleast another 5 years.

Clicker Dog Training



Recommended Answer:
First thing I would do is scope out the competition in your area. What services do they offer customers? What are their employee's qualifications/certifications? What type of facilities do they have? How do they advertise? And, of course, what are their prices? It'll give you a good idea of how to price your own services and how your set up would compare to the competition.

Second, you'll have to get liability insurance if you're opening up a business. If something happened to a dog or someone dropping/picking up a pet and they decided to sue, you need this insurance to protect yourself. Start looking for some quotes now and a year before you plan to open to get a good idea of the cost.

Next, take a look at your expenses while operating this business. Will you have to pay for extra help, and how much will their salaries be? How much will products be such as kennels, food, dishes, toys, etc. Then, how much will it cost to advertise for your business? Take all this into account before you set your prices for all your services.

Good luck!

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.
