Dog Health Questions: Would you say my dog is bonded more with my father?

i rephrased this because some people assumed i was having it out with my father...when in truth i am not.

would you even say its my dog anymore?

alright i have a pembroke corgi named Melly

i had her since she was 8 weeks, i took her to handling classes, dog training seminars ect ect parks and visits with my cousins dog club essentially i bring her everywhere i still do.

i walk her twice a day , i feed her water her, bathe her brush her and pay for her vet bills and she sleeps in her own bed beside my own. or rather she did.
she doesnt respond when i call her. my father can be standing right beside me and i will call and nothing he calls and she is running towards him.

she will no longer go to bed in my room and if i put her in my room and lock the door she will howl all night until he gives in and comes and gets her.

she refuses to sit in my lap anymore and instead will struggle to be free from me and rush to him and promptly sprawl out on his stomach.

now when i come home she doesnt greet me instead she remains out by the fence staring at my dads parking spot and begins to cry loudly and jump around when he gets home. ive tried treats but she eats them then runs to him.

my dad is asking to keep her since i will be transferring and we are all worried that she will mourn herself to death.

she refuses to eat until he is home and will just lay their keening ever so often.

would giving her to my dad be a good idea? im thinking so.

my parents had already agreed years ago and changed some things when i graduated and went to college that when i transfer they plan to help me get a dog so i wont be alone when i transfer. he however is giving me some of the money early due to the fact that he wants to keep Mel. im not sure why he is giving it to me early but it makes me feel like he is buying her which is why i said it.

when we go on walks she will even keep looking back at the house unless my dad comes with us

when he doesnt provide her with food and isnt in command how can she see him as pack leader? his own dog doesnt see him as pack leader nor does my mothers the other dogs do not treat him as leader.

i said in the other that it felt like he was buying her from me and i felt guilty about accepting it. why? because i truly cant live without a pet i get very depressed i have been diagnosed with depression and dogs help me cope.

Recommended Answer:
For whatever reason, the dog has clearly bonded with your dad. Let him buy her, and when you are settled in your new home, get another dog.

Dog Training Tips and Tricks - Ways to Make Dog Training Easy For You and Your Pet

• Yes she's bonded with your dad as pack leader, which is what I said in the last answer. However, that doesn't mean you have to give your dog to your dad. You'll just have to take the spot as pack leader when you move out. Being pack leader is more than just feeding the dog and spending time with it. It's how you carry yourself. You should attend a training course with the dog to learn more about this.


• sshe or he might be a better pac leader than u


• Let him have her and get a nice German Shepherd who will bond instantly with you and only you.

Dog Health Questions: How do you judge a dog trainer, what do you think of the statement in the video?

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

I was doing some youtube browsing and came across this video of Victoria Stilwell proclaiming herself as the 'God of dog training' *AHEM*.... her reason for this was that she follows the best in this country which, from the location and earlier statement, i am taking to mean the best scientists and behaviourists....Question : How do you judge a dog trainer & what criteria enables them to claim themselves to be at the top of their professionExtra Question : What legitimate university awards PhD degrees in dog behaviour and training? Specifically dogs, not the study of broad animal behaviour, marine animals or social mammals or ecology in animal habits or rats or geese. Something that doesn't only teach dog behaviour, but also teaches training and manipulation of behaviour?

Dog Training - 8 Ways to Cut Down on Behavior Problems

Recommended Answer:
OMG...I am trying to eat, I look in here and I see a question about a former porn star and current cheap pole dancer who tries to pass as a dog trainer. Then I look at the vid and I lose my appetite and what I had already eaten, thanks!!!!
The reality of that idiot is that she is nothing more then a wanna-be something, a dog trainer she is NOT!!! Stuffing a dog with treats is NOT training, its feeding and its bad for its health and hers!!!

ADD: And Auborn has a great detection dog program, UC Davies has a great PhD program in animal behavior, etc, however, monkeys and chickens and rats are also animals...does that make me an expert in them if my focus has been on dogs for 31 years?
People simply need to get REAL here, a PhD in religion does not qualify one to practice psychology, why does a PhD in rats make you qualified to preach about dogs and how to train one?

A trainer that is at the top of their profession is someone that has provided dogs in his field of choice, has trained, imported, sold, titled and worked with these dogs personally so he can walk the walk too!!
He is someone that is a wealth of info on all matters dog related who can sit and discuss those matters, maybe do a seminar and people can feel like they have learned something.

As far as your last question, there are NO LEGIT Universities ANYWHERE in the States that offer a PhD in any dog strictly related field and it does amaze me how some so called "dog experts" have managed to get away with degrees in other areas that have somehow transform them into dog experts!!!I guess that is where PhD stands for Piled Higher and Deeper. Hope I helped!!

Dog Training - How To Train Your Dog In One Evening

• LOL That is the most "dominate" that I have ever seen Stillwell, too bad she doesn't use that tone with some of the ridiculous dogs she uhhh...trains.....
  
  I have never met or seen the top of the dog training profession. Considering the numbers of training techniques it would be impossible to know everything about all areas of training.
  I have never seen Greekman work but he sounds dang good for the protection style of training.(OK Greek don't get all high and mighty) Several others here are very knowledgeable about their areas of expertise, even I have learned a few things in almost 30 years of training.
  
  Any good trainer should know how to get the most out of the dog, plain and simple and we have to be able to establish how to achieve that.
  
  I know of no PhD in strictly dog behavior but I can rest assured that Cesar Millan or Victoria Stillwell won't be getting the first PhD


• Although the university program may be animal behavior, a PhD involves research on a specific species, and dogs are included in that. Believe it or not, dogs are animals! I know the University of North Texas does quite a bit of research on dogs, and there are canine research centers at Duke University, and somewhere in the NorthEast, I think both Cornell and Harvard.
  
  The first ever international conference on canine cognition will be held summer 2011 in Europe, where there is also more research occurring.


• Too funny. Apparently Ms Dominatrix Wannabee Stillwell doesn't believe in dominance and submission.
  
  I judge success and only success... which means the ability and knowledge to use whatever tools are necessary to get the job done with each individual dog. Not all dogs actually WANT whatever reward Ms Stillwell would like to bribe them with.
  
  Extra Question - I don't believe there is a dog specific one that deals specifically with dogs.


• Perfect! She just gets better and better!
  
  Answer: Years of success...thousands of dogs. Years of doing something the wrong way is NOT experience. If Victoria trains (and I use that term very loosely) dogs for the next 10,000 years....she'll still be clueless idiot. The number of methods you know mean nothing if you don't NATURALLY know when and how to use them.
  
  God, it's great to see her flaunt her ignorance.


• Too...funny...-dies-.
  
  I won't even talk bad about her...she made herself look bad enough.
  
  How do I judge a trainer...hmmm good question. The best dog trainer in Schutzhund is Helmut...no doubt, he wins the most, therefore he is the best right? But I don't like him, or his training...so I guess achievements don't mean much to me. What means the most to me is somebody who can get the job done with the least amount of stress and physical force put on the dog.
  
  It's not cool that "so and so got a prong" it's not cool to turn up the juice on the e-collar to 29473...you do it because the situation and the dog dictate that you must. That said I'll give a dog whiplash and sizzle until I smell BACON if I have to but I don't take joy in it. My goal is to get the dog trained, quickly, reliably, and to do so while causing the least amount of stress to the animal is possible. Such should be the goal of training a dog.


• No dog trainer is at the top of the profession, because every single one has a different view of the profession! I judge dog trainers by the results they get. My own trainer is amazing. She gets results from my dog every time I have a problem, and she is very nice and clear with her instructions. I will be attending my first obedience trial with my ten-month-old dog on May 16, and I have great hopes that we will win first place!
  
  However, some pet store trainers are simply not good. I've watched the "graduates" on "graduation day," and most of them can't do a sit-stay long enough to take graduation pictures!
  
  Also, not all dog training has to be based on scientific findings and behavioral patterns. Sometimes, you just correct what is wrong and reward what is right, and that's enough.
  
  My Internet filter blocks YouTube, but I thought I'd take a shot at your question anyway. Thanks for the question!


• I am speechless.
  Seriously I don't even know what to say.
  
  ~After being thrown into shock & now I'm recovered~
  
  Intelligence does NOT always mean educated. In her case she thinks the best in the world are those who hold a PhD. How about every day real situations, I know more about training my dog than any book worm will ever know, I have hands on experience.
  
  I will ALWAYS train using dominance & I don't give a crap who disagrees or not, at the end of the day, my dogs exhibit the behaviors *I* want & they do it happily, they LOVE to please me.
  
  Obviously every one has different methods & what works for one, may not for another, BUT for her to attack like that, she obviously is insecure in her ways. I have never liked Victoria & I don't give her show the time of day.
  
  If all I ever did was love & praise my dogs & my child, they would all be out of control. Mammals are social creatures & almost all of them follow a leader.
  
  I will agree positive reinforcement works, but 90% of dogs DO need some form of correction at one point or another. I like to have control over my dogs brain. I don't want them listening to me just because I have a treat. If my dogs do what they are told, they get my love & affection, not food. I want them focused on me, not food.
  
  Bottom line I look for someone who shares the same views as I otherwise it will never work, I would be fed up & so would they. I reward good behavior & give corrections for bad. *I* AM the one in control over my dogs, no matter what methods I use.
  
  I think the key for any trainer to be good is to understand the dog/dogs they are dealing with.


• Bottom line: Cesar and Victoria are entertainers first, trainers (however loosely you want to use that term) second. If you've watched their shows you'll see the "dramatic twists"--they're trying to boost ratings, not teach people to train their dogs.
  
  I think the best trainers are patient, and have the ability to adapt. To evaluate what dog needs what training, and try until they find something that works. NOT someone who believes in a "one size fits all" program.
  
  EQ: I really wouldn't know what University would have that avaliable; I'm not going anywhere near a "dog" profession--however, the closest I think you could come would be going to a college that has a general PhD program for animal behavior, and then specializing in canine behavior for your doctorate (as the way I understand it, research and a good thesis is required for most, if not all doctorates--I know it is for my program [speech pathology]).
  
  ADD: "Everyone has their own way of training" <---I have to support the woman arguing with Victoria 100%. I don't know who she is, but in that respect, she's right. And FWIW, "Greatest American Dog" was a total joke of a show.


• Its obvious she follows the lead of other dog behaviorists and dog owners that Cesar Milan is harming dogs and doing no good in his training.
  I think both cesar and victoria are good trainers in their own way.
  The simple fact that cesar can handle any type of dog that is thrown at him, and does whatever works to fix the dog to me makes him a better trainer.
  But its more about behavior than training overall.
  A good trainer can recognize body language signals, and doesn't need food to make something work.
  Although food speeds up the process food cant fix everything and neither can positive reinforcement methods either.
  I would have loved for Victoria to come over when I was having problems with rascal jumping the fence. She would have probably said he needed more exercise and stimulating activities, and that he should only be outside on a lead.
  Riiight... because that makes him have a great quality of life in a fenced in yard.
  Needless to say we fixed it, with a ecollar which she is 100% against.
  I love cesar and I always will, unfortunatly. People see him methods of being cruel, and dominating to be "old" school.
  I believe every dog needs a different type of behavior modification, therefore you should be open to all ways of training if you want to be called a dog behaviorist

Dog Health Questions: New dog from animal shelter, questions?

Hello,
I've been looking for a dog for some time, visiting animal shelters etc., and today I've finally found a dog in animal shelter that I want !
I'm babysitting my brother's cat atm, so I will get the dog tommorow, but I do have some questions before.

-> The dog is about 3/4-1 year old but he's a real goofball ! However what I did like about him, was that he was very clever and energetic - he knew how to make himself shine in the crowd. When taking him on a walk he was very goofy, jumped on me and loved to pull me, but also understood when I told him to take it easy, when I ran sprints with him etc. - I guess there was the magical click, the chemistry between me and the dog.

1.) Will he be able to learn to listen to a different name ?
The plp at the shelter did give him a name but I dont think he even listens to that name, just asking though.

2.) Is it not too late to train him properly?
Though he did act like a little child and I hope 1 year is not too old for a dog, I want to make sure as I've never before had a dog.
I want to sign the dog up for dog training asap but also I want to spend my own time with the dog and train him properly.

3. What shall I buy for the dog today ?
Im going to my local pet store - I know I should buy a sort of cushion for the dog so he has his own pen, some toys, some food etc...anything else ?

4. How should I spend first moments with the dog in our house ?

5. Can you please provide some good articles for a new (future) dog owner who wants to have a VERY disciplined dog ?

thanks - top reply gets points !

Dog Fence Review - Dog Training Rights and Wrongs

Recommended Answer:
Congratulations on your new buddy,and kudos for choosing from a shelter.:)

If you're persistent enough,yes he will eventually learn to respond to that name and whatever else you or a trainer train him to do.:)
No one year old is not old for a dog-that's when they're just growing out of the puppy stage.
You Should Go By This Shopping List:
Food
Food and Water Dish
Toys
Bed/Crate
Leash and Collar
Flea Medicine
Dog treats
A handbook for training at home,if you want a "really disciplined dog"

The first few moments you bring your new friend home should be spent letting him explore his new environment-sniffing around,taking in the home.When he seems comfortable enough,show him where his food and water are (this area should be set up prior to his arrival) and maybe take him for a quick walk around the general vicinity-let him get to know the outisde area a little.
Once you get back from that,relax and play with him-playing is one of the best ways to get to know a dog and build connection.

Some extra tips:
Set ground rules from the beginning-where he can/can't be,where he sleeps,etc.
Don't ever yell-he won't understand,and it is not an effective tool of training.
Be nice and a little lenient the first couple days-animals from shelters need time more time to adjust from one setting to antoher,as they've had more and possibly difficult living arrangements in the past.
Don't ever hesitate to call your local shelter-they have behavioral specialists on hand to answer and concerns or questions you may have.

Good luck.:)

Agility Dog Training Equipment

• i changed my dogs name at that age she picked it up straight away,try and keep it similar though,let your dog know from the start that you are the alpha dog and master and stick to it.give plenty of love and rewards though,good luck


• 1) Yes, he will, but you should call his new name many times.
  
  2) It can be little hard to train, but it's not that late. Don't worry.
  
  3) Umm...I think that's enough. Just give him some time to rest.
  
  4) Play with him and make him think that this is his house from now on.


• I would suggest training Straight away, no doubt he will have picked up some bad habits along the way.. if it where me i would be looking to take him to a Trainer for some obedience training to get him used to his new life with you and to make sure its not a bad experience for you both as it can be very frustrating training a hyper-active dog who has not has a great start in life.
  Anyways.. that's my suggestion =) take him to a Trainer for some bonding and training.
  Have fun!


• Have you reserved this dog then. Don't want you to be disappointed here so has everything gone through regarding the paperwork etc.
  
  If you do get him then the best piece of advice I can give you is to give the dog time. Don't try to take him everywhere in the first few days. Don't even worry about a long walk on the first day at all. He needs time to settle in your home so try to leave him to just find his own pace for a couple of days.
  
  I wouldn't go buying expensive dog beds and things yet. He may chew them. Provide an old bed to start with and see how he goes with that.


• :)
  
  1. Yes he will...it might take a little longer...depending on how long he has had his other name
  
  2. No, not too late to train him properly. You might have to "fix" some behaviors, which might take a little time.
  
  3. Collar / leash...If its a large/med dog I'd recommend a training collar for walking and/or training sessions (prong, etc). Crate? Is he housebroken? Bowls....Grooming supplies like a brush (depending on the breed ).
  I would wait until you get the dog to buy toys and/or treats. See what he likes....and go from there.
  If you decide to change his food, do it gradually.....within a week or 10 days.
  Schedule a vet appointment today...even though the dog will probably be vaccinated...its still a good idea to have YOUR vet examine him, point out any issues...give you flea/tick/heartworm monthly prevention...etc.
  
  4. I would limit the amount of rooms that he can access in the beginning. For example, if you have an upstairs...get a babygate and block the stairs....a kitchen, living room, and another room or two should be PLENTY for the dog. Give him time to explore on his own...dont push, it WILL be stressfull for the dog anyways. (just watch out for any housebreaking issues....make sure he doesnt leave you a "surprise").
  
  5. I dont know of any articles...I read 3-5 books and took from them what worked for me and MY dog. Read on dog behavior...what causes them to do certain things, etc.
  Start looking around town for decent trainers...just in case you come across a serious problem that you're not quite sure how to fix. And start training day #1....little things...sit, stay, come...etc.Some things that people recommend here...is the Kohler method of training....you can find the book on amazon (used it will be pretty cheap). Even if you decide not to follow through with the method...it will have VERY good overall information.....
  
  NILF - (Nothing in Life is Free)...I think you can google that concept
  
  RAW Diet....
  
  Good luck


• 1)Yes, he can learn a new name if you teach it to him.Both of my dogs had previous names and we just started sayin "new name,old name" and after awhile we stopped saying the old name and they got it within a week or so
  Or you can just call him his new name and give him a treat/praise everytime he responds
  2)Its never too late to train a dog.You should take him to training classes if you don't know how to train him
  3)food bowls,food and treats..maybe a toy(you should wait until you know him better to find out what toys he likes, but get 1 or 2 for now)
  Leash/collar(most shelters give you one when you get your dog though)
  crate,Just find him a few old blankets at first and wait to get a bed later
  That's all you really need for now unless you completely want EVERYTHING right now then here are some other things you can get:
  Shampoo,i.d. tag,pooper scooper,dog toothbrush/toothpaste
  don't forget to make a vet appointment within the first few days.
  4)Just let him walk around and explore on his own
  5)Sorry idk


• Hey i have trained a few dogs in my life and all dogs can learn a new name. The key is repitition. Just keep doing games like call his name "Rover" and if he looks at you, give him a treat. Keep doing these games and soon enough he will no his name. I would bring him to puppy school if i were you and its not to late to train him. Did you no that shelter puppys are brought in usealy around age 6-8mounths because of poor training. Get a stainless steal water and food bowl, a leash, a coller, a tag that has contact information, find yourself a good vet. get some toys but ask the vet what kind he says is good. Let the dog run the house at first, he will be excited and aslo cautious. Let him get used to everything first and then teach him the rules like no getting on the bed or what ever you want.

Dog Health Questions: Dog Training for a 3-legged dog?

Hey everyone! I have a puppy(we call her a puppy even though she's not) that has three legs. She is really smart, but she just can't learn a trick. I tried to teach her how to sit, by taking a treat and holding behind her head so she will have to sit down to see it, but she just backs up. She finds loopholes for every trick I teach her. Is there any trick out there that will work? P.S She doesn't have a tail either.

Dog Training Schools - Which Dogs Are Best Suited

Recommended Answer:
You may have to just physically show her the trick first. Instead of holding the treat over her head, try pushing her gently down into a sit when you say "sit" and work from there.

The fact that she's missing a leg has nothing to do with her brainpower.

Things to Consider Before You Go For a Dog Training Career

• Patience is what you need. Do not allow your dog to get the treat until she sits exactly the way you want her to. If you give in, you are telling her that she can do whatever she wants and still get the treat. Try placing your hand at the base of her tail, say sit calmly but firmly, then push her into the sit position while moving the treat as you are currently doing.
  
  You really do need to master the sit command. This is one of the few commands that every dog NEEDS to know, and responds immediately to.


• Well like the person above me said. But you have to have patience with her. By physically putting her in that position, not hard though, and saying the command once, and i mean exactly once you've got her in that postion and give a small piece of the treat. Because you're doing this a few times you don't want her getting full on treats. Once you do this a few times she might start catching on.

Dog Health Questions: Looking for a good dog training collar...?

I have a small 9 lb bichon frise/poodle mix and he is such a pain to take for a walk. He pulls so much and starts hacking like I'm strangling him!!! I've heard of the Gentle Leader Head Collar and the Halti Head Collar and both have very mixed reviews. Just looking for opinions on what's worked for you. Thanks!

Puppy and Dog Training - How to Train Puppies and Dogs on a Lead - Easy to Follow Dog Training Steps

Recommended Answer:
Try the GENTLE LEADER! I have 2 dogs (small and medium sized). They each had different difficulties when it came to walking on a leash. This one corrected everything and my kids can easily walk both our dogs now. No more pulling and lunging. They walk right next to us, no problem... and it doesn't choke them!

I also read mixed reviews about the Gentle Leader,but I found that if you have the head collar on wrong it doesn't work properly. Make sure you follow the directions for fastening it, to the letter. Also, I don't leave it on after walks as they have regular collars with their ID info on them.

I've tried many others and nothing did what this did. Just remember, these aren't magic fixes. It requires you to be responsible and diligent in training your dog and in doing so you'll find that doesn't take much time. You will be pleasantly surprised.

☺

Advanced Dog Training Goals - It Pays to Think and Plan Ahead

• local vets.


• You don't need to get a special collar - you just need to train him to walk on a loose leash. Basically, whenever he pulls, stop walking. Don't let him go sniff. Call him back to you, and when he's near you, keep walking. This takes time and your first walk or two will take FOREVER, but it's good mental exercise for the dog. Be consistent and teach him that pulling = no walk and no fun. I use a martingale collar. Here's a link to some different options you have:
  
  http://www.dogscouts.com/collars.shtml
  
  EDIT: The Gentle Leader Harness - or any FRONT-HOOK harness, is an awesome option.


• Try a harness instead of a collar.


• Train your dog better. I trained dogs. with proper training the dog will never leave your side and the leash will never be taunt. In fact my dog is so well trained I don't even use a leash anymore. The dog never leaves my side even if it spots another dog animal (it just looks at it and wines a little).
  
  It's all in the training and conditioning.
  
  Ask your vet where you can go to get cheap training for yourself and the dog (that's what I did). In fact I command my dog only using hand signals. It's easier than it sounds. you would be surprised.


• GENTLE LEADER go to the pet store and get one and have the dog their to get properly fitted.. That is the end of the pulling
  
  Congratulations you have a well behaved pet.
  They will fight a little to put it on -- but do not give in -- use it every day and they get used to it...


• NOOO dont be lazy, take time to train ur dog, dont use a collar, it can hurt them


• as inhuman as some may state , nothing beats and electric collar . I feel the smaller dogs should use a low shock variety or a beeping style collar... best o look around, but nothing corrects a unruly dog faster then a jolt of electricity.


• go to petsmart or fosters and smith they can help


• try a harness i love it
  but i wouldnt suggest it on a dog that doesnt now how to walk properly because hell become even worse
  
  just train him with a normal collar and hell learn how to walk with u
  always persuade him and thank him for walking right


• in the movie, The Jane Austen Book Club, there was a girl who wore a collar and the Maria Bello character made a snide remark to her.


• The head haltis don't give you enough control.
  All small dogs should use a harness not a collar. Collars are too dangerous for toy dogs. They can cause collapsed trachea and proptosis. I would use a Gentle Leader Harness.


• I have used both the halti and gentle leader (head collars) and have a preference for the gentle leader. The design is pretty much the same, but the gentle leader has clip to keep it snug under the chin. The halti doesn't have this and my dog managed to paw it off his nose and chew through it in a minute. You can also get body harnesses that work in the same way but I prefer the head collars as the come off and are put on a lot easier.

• well is was at my bus stop i saw a guy walking his dog he had a stick and when the dog was walking he was hit the stick up and down in front of the dog and the after the next day the dog was walking normally he wasn't running just walking beside him.


• ok either get a lead or what we used for my dog is a pull chain collar which you can its a chain and you pull and it can become tighter


• we use a harness on our mini schnauzer, shes 12 pounds
  
  She pulls but atleast it doesnt choke her! lol
  
  You just have to put ur dog on a short leash, because witht he harness that do have more strength, but, you can controll them better, because they cant twirl around.
  
  When you take ur dog on a walk, you can get a regular leash, or a retractable one, we have both cause my mom and dad like the regular one and me and my sister like the retractable one.....
  
  With the regular one, you can train it better to stay closer to u.
  Witht he retractable one, the dog ends up roaming around, but our dog acctually stays closer to us, and always stays on the side walk, try and get your dog to go poo and pee at the start of ur walk, so it wont sniff so much, and hold up ur walk. let ur dog sniff as long as they want at the start, so they can pee and poop.
  
  Tug on the leash, if it goes on to the grass after its gone to the bathroom. Tug on it till it stats walking again on the sidewalk.

Dog Health Questions: Dog training social problems?

I know the title dosen't make much sense...

I have a dog, Scooby, he's a Blue Heeler and German Shepard mix, and I want him to go through training at the local PetsMart. They have a really good trainer that works there, she's really nice. But she can also be very dominant when training dogs.

But more of my dog's past... my Dad and I found them when coming home on the highway, in the middle of NOWHERE, in a Louisiana swamp. There were six puppies, two pairs of each were different. Two looked like blue heeler, two looked like german shepards, and the other two looked like rat terrier mixes. (Female dogs can get pregnant at the same time with different dogs.) And we saved them, nursed them back to health, they had worms, got rid of them, took them all to the vet, got shots, de-wormed, neutered and spayed, and we managed to give two away to good homes. I kept one of them myself, and he was the blue heeler/german shepard.
Anyways, we live wayyy out in the country so they've got a lot of room to play in, even though it's fenced. A couple of acres of fenced land. And the only socializing any of them get it with each other or when going to the vet. They're ten months old now, so they're pretty much full grown. And they don't socialize well at all. Especially Scooby. When people come over he will NOT go near them, won't sniff them, etc. And if I kinda nudge him over to them he'll force himself back as much as I allow and start growling. He's NEVER bitten anyone, never tried to. I think the growling is just a warning.
But I take him for walks down the road and he loves it, until the vet that lives down the road jogs past him. Or the kids playing ball talk sweet to him. He also has a bad habit of peeing on himself when he gets scared, so I haven't tried to get him to be more social, therefore I won't have to get peed on when he gets nervous.

I'm sorry for telling you his whole life story -_- I must be bored, lol. But I was just wondering if I all of a sudden enroll him in training at PetsMart, will it make his behavior worse? Should I slowly introduce him to people? How? Will he stay this way the rest of his life because it's all he knows now?

Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks : )

Protection Dog Training - Frequently Asked Questions

Recommended Answer:
I wouldn't just thrust him into training without socializing him first. Take him in the car for rides to public park, let him see people without being too close to them and then get him out of the car after a few trips and walk him around. When he acts nervous or barks, just keep walking, drag him along pretend he isn't barking or nervous. If you give into that type of behavior, they get worse and worse. Just keep walking like there is nothing wrong and nothing to be afraid of. But don't leave any slack in the leash/get close enough to people so he can bight them. And have some treats to distract him when he starts crying or barking. I like to watch Cesar Milano the dog whisperer. It has really helped with my dogs, they barked and lunged at people/cars/bicycles... my yorkie also would pee on himself when he was nervous. It would upset me a lot and I felt so bad for him, then when I took him to the groomers one day, she said he was a totally different dog when I left and didn't bark or growl at all. Then I realized what an enabler I really was!! lol Good luck!

Dog Training Methods - Different Ways to Teach Your Pet Dogs Some Useful Skills

• U need a training guide that u will find in the link below. Hope it helps u.
  
  http://www.reviewlocator.com/reviews/sec…


• German Shepherds and ACD, are not supposed to be indiscriminately friendly, one of myGSD would not go to people for petting but if put on a Stand/Stay would be fine while examined even by the vet or at dog shows. Pushing him to people will guarantee he'll hate people more and someone will get bitten. A proper obed class should be fine but most PetsMart suck and an outside one would be much better.In class the dogs are NOT encouraged to socialize, the point is to be obedient when faced with many temptations or distractions. Invite a person over who he is most interested in or fears the least and you both sit on the porch talking and have the person not look at Scooby but toss yummy treats at him.As he gets more comfy with that person you use a diff one. Then when he goes near the person the person can tell him sit then toss the treat. If the vet scares him ask him to not run past Scooby but walk casually and throw food his way. While walking past kids keep him away from them but feed him yummy treats only when the kids are in sight. If he is ball crazy have the person toss a ball to him, underhanded and casually. Basically you want him to see "people near me=FOOD or my BALL". But an aloof dog is an aloof dog and pushing him will get someone bitten or give him a nervous breakdown. You can expect him to hold a stand/stay while someone examines him however, that is a command and not his choice and he will learn the diff. We had a severely shy GSD who would never approach anyone but the family and worked at class for a yr b4 he held the Stand/stay well enough to be shown and get his AKC CD. Also doing an obed routine while going past the kids will focus him on you not them. A well trained dog can not focus on his obed routine and praise and do well and be worried of kids at the same time. ACD standard The Cattle Dog's loyalty and protective instincts make it a self-appointed guardian to the Stockman, his herd and his property. Whilst naturally suspicious of strangers, must be amenable to handling, particularly in the Show ring. Any feature of temperament or structure foreign to a working dog must be regarded as a serious fault.
  The GSD standard The breed has a distinct personality marked by direct and fearless, but not hostile, expression, self-confidence and a certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships

Online Dog Training - Train Your Dog Using Your Computer - Seriously!

• Yes, if you have the right dog. It sounds like your dog did try to warn you already. Perhaps that is all you needed. You just failed to listen to him. Next time get up and check out what he is barking at, especially if this is not normal for him. My little dog warned me once. I almost did not listen, however, I did choose to get up and lock my bedroom door and saved myself. Training an attack dog cost a few hundred dollars, if you already have the dog. Please check with a reputable dog trainer, however, and have it done right and make sure that you also get all of the training to handle an attack dog. In the meantime, how about just trying out a sign, "CAUTION: ATTACK DOG ON PREMISES


• That would NOT be something that would require a trained protection dog. The dog's are called personal protection dogs for that reason. THEY ARE ONLY FOR SELF AND HOME DEFENSE!!! If you were have released a protection dog on someone doing that to your car, you'd get charged with excessive use of force and other legalities.
  I suggest doing your research on the legalities of owning a protection dog before even thinking about purchasing one. Your insurance won't go up, but know that your dog WON'T BE COVERED!!! Trained protection dogs are not covered period.
  You wouldn't be able to use your own dog or have it trained because contrary to popular belief... NOT ALL DOGS HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!! To get a proper protection dog, the dog has to pass strict evaluations, and most pet dogs don't have the proper temperament, physical attributes, drive, etc.
  Do more research.


• Only dogs that are properly trained (which costs thousands of dollars) should be "guard" dogs. Alerting you by barking is all you can reasonably expect your dog to do. You heard your dog barking; why didn't you investigate? Pet dogs are NOT literal "guard" dogs, and you shouldn't expect them to be.


• It is possible to train a dog to stop an intruder from entering your home. its better if you actually get a dog thats built for guarding houses such as german sheperds or a rottweiler. Try reading a book about dog training to help you understand how these things work and may be you can even train your dog yourself, in that way you can be sure of how well your dog can protect your home in events like you have mentioned. try checking http://www.antileon-ent.com/dog/ - they have a good set of advices about dog training that you can try out to your own dog, in that way, it can even save you some money :)


• I understand your concern, really I do. I have been there. But it really is not a good idea. They are animals and it is next to impossible to train them to know what an intruder is vs a visitor or innocent passerby. Police dogs are trained by absolute professionals and that is why they are able to follow commands the way they do.
  So, no. I really think it's a bad idea.


• You can, but it's gonna cost thousands and thousands of dollars and the dog might not even be fit for such training, not to mention be killed by animal control for attacking.


• Highly suggest you don't use your dog to attack a robber or w.e, they can easily be killed by a gun shot or a knife. Get a decent alarm system and get a gun :).


• I would say around 3-4.5 billion dollars.
  
  No, I'm pretty sure training attack dogs is illegal.


• sure
  about $100k then your insurance will go up
  if you rent, they will kick you out
  next time when your dog is barking, see why


• Tran it to attack yourself if the Dog loves you it will protect you


• Sure, do you have a spare 25,000 dollars?

Dog Training Advice For Training Your Best Friend

Recommended Answer:
i would say the best way to train a dog is patience, time, and little treats like little pieces of chicken or little dog treats. For the dog to obey that would go along with the training process, you need to train him for him to obey your commands and listen to you. For the dogs shape you shouldn't be able to see bones but also he shouldn't look like a balloon. They have charts out there and some vets have them hanging up what your dog should look like. As far as the out of control one, my dog has never been out of control but i would say either try to get him in control and that goes along with training or some people bring there dog to obedience classes. If your dog is sick you usually know, either they throw up, they have a loose stool, and you know your dog best so sometimes if they act funny like not themselves that could be a sign. But i knew this little kid who got his first puppy and it seemed a little skinny but depending on the dog sometimes they look that way. but he was always playing and seemed fine until they brought him to the vet and he had liver failer and ended up dying from it. So not all the time people are able to tell with signs if its something internal unless the dog is in a lot of pain.

• Shouldn't you be doing this yourself as it is a GRADUATION project


• Hi,
  Hope that this will help you:
  
  Dog training begins with admitting poor dog behavior. This extends from just using the toilet in the house to other bad issues such as chewing, jumping, and wandering off. You will want to teach your pet to stay with you. Listen to your commands, and respond to your wishes quick. Doing this will enable you to control how your dog behaves and whether he or she will listen to you when you tell them to stop.
  
  The best way to get your dog to listen to you is to use the reward system. Each time your puppy does what you tell him or her to, give the pup a cookie. This incentive will have your dog listening to you intently. With each reward also give praise. This way you can phase treats out and simply give praise for good behavior.
  
  The Potty Problem
  
  When your dog is using your home as a toilet, things can be tense. No one wants to be cleaning up after their dog forever inside. There are many ways dog training can enable you to control where your dog goes to the bathroom. First you will need to evaluate your dog's age and health status. If you have a puppy that is healthy, it is safe to say that you are simply teaching your dog where the potty is and how to communicate to you it is time to go.
  
  If your dog is over a year old and using your home as a toilet, there might be some other issues. He might be nervous, abused in the past, or sick. Older dogs that are not using the outside for toilet use should be seen by a vet prior to beginning any type of training. Once a good bill of health is given you can then use behavior modification to fix the problem.

Dog Health Questions: What is the best dog training device for my dog READ DETAILS!?

I have the most stubborn Golden Retriever. She, Zoe, Turns 1 years old tomorrow on Valentine's day. ;) I've tried clicker training, obedience school...even the dog whistle had no effect on her when I thought the whistle was very powerful to a dog's ear. So, other than those I've mentioned, what is the best training device to use now? Those shock collars? Invisibal fence? WHAT!?? lol. I mean, she is the kind of dog that KNOWS what is wrong but does it anyways behind our back and then hides! LMAO. Thanks.

Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
OK, it sounds as if you've tried way too many different things when there are simpler methods out there.

For chasing and beating up the cat (my 10 month old does the same thing, but hasn't hurt the cat, he just wants to play), you need to teach the OFF command. The OFF command is used to curb a dog's chasing instinct. First, put her on a leash. Wave a ball in front of her face....then throw it. When she gets up to go after it, tug on her leash and firmly say "OFF". If she listens and backs off, give her a treat and some praise. Repeat this until she no longer gets up to go after the ball. Even when she stops, this command needs to be reinforced and practiced regularly.

Coming when called....make it a game. Start out right in front of her with a treat. Say "Zoe, come". When she comes to you, give her the treat. Move away and say "Zoe, Come" again...repeat this. After a while, you can incorporate other commands. You can have her sit, and stay...then move away....then say, "Zoe, Come" and give her the treat. But remember, ONLY treat when she's completed the task. Don't just give in and give it to her if she's not doing what you want. Now try enlisting the help of a friend. You each take treats....one of you goes to hide, then yells "Zoe, Come"....Zoe then has to make an effort to find the person before she can get her treat. While she's doing that, the other person hides. When Zoe has found the first person and been rewarded, you can start saying "Zoe, Come". Move locations, get further away, etc. It's good practice and teaches her that coming when called is a pleasant, rewarding, and fun experience.

Never call her to you for punishment. This only results in her being scared to come to you when you call because she thinks she's going to be in trouble.

As far as biting....when she bites (I'm assuming while playing), Yelp and/or say "Ouch!" and quit playing with her.

Remember that a lot of these issues will start to lessen as she gets older. She's in her adolescent stage right now and will remain there until about the age of 3. Most dogs really chill out once out of their "teen" years.

Make sure you have a covered trash can. If this doesn't help (as in, she knocks it over), you could try an automatic deterrent that will keep guard over your trash when you're not around. These are generally sold for cats, but I assume they would work for a dog, as well. If not....well, you could always put the trash away (in a cupboard or something).

And never discipline for something after the fact. Dogs have very short memories and if discipline is given after the fact, they don't know what it's for.

Competition Dog Training

• Sorry, but more info needed.
  Not too sure what type of training is requested.


• It really depends what you are trying to train.
  *Garbage you should just put away.
  *Gate or crate your dog when you're gone so they can't get into trouble.
  *If you are trying to control barking, shock collars are, on average, only 50% effective. This is beside the fact that they can be extremely painful, and are notorious for shocking even when a dog isn't barking.
  *Similarly electric fences are painful, however, I hear from friends these work very very well.
  *Heel should be taught in a nondistracting environment, and sometimes with the aid of a check chain (not choke chain, check chains are mostly fabric or leather and are very hard to put on incorrectly).
  *Down should be taught in a nonevasive way.
  *If it's a matter of strict obediance I would speak with a *well-known* trainer and get enrolled into a good, private obediance class. Possibly speak to a behaviorist.
  *Also, a dog is usually disobediant like that because they are testing their place in the pack and challenging your authority (testing their boundaries). You need to make sure you and your family are extremely consistant in what you do (sit down and make sure everyone understands all the details). Like, if entering a room, everyone needs to make sure they enter first, or when going for a walk, she sits before you leave (and you leave first).
  *If your dog knows all her basic commands, maybe its a matter of being bored. A lot of retrievers get into trouble because of the lack of stimulation. Maybe look into agility? It's a good way to release energy, its fun, its stimulating, and a lot of dogs calm down and behave when they participate in it.
  *Is she spayed?
  *If you catch your dog in the act, make sure to let her know she's doing something wrong (even if it's funny). If you don't catch her, its better to assume she didn't do it (dogs don't associate things like we do). But it sounds like she knows what she's doing, so I would say she's probably bored or testing her pack status.
  *I have never NOT had clicker training work. The most common reason it does not work is because the person is clicking incorrectly (which is sooooo easy to do >.<). Clickers can do more harm than good because there is a very very very specific and finite way that a clicker is supposed to be used and any deviation or inconsistancy just confuses the dog (and dogs are unpredictable so it can be hard). When I started, I misused a clicker quite often... I still do from time to time.
  
  I hope I helped. If you can give a more descriptive explaination of what you are trying to train, I can help you come up with more solutions. Feel free to email me. Good Luck!
  
  **editted in light of more details ^^
  *"Come" can actually be a difficult thing to teach, not the action, but the word. I'm not sure why... I started using "here please!" about a week ago (after 2 months of 3x a day on "come") and it's remedied itself in the last 4 days. I recommend trying another word or phrase.. if you know any languages maybe you can find "come" in that language. I like "here please" but a woman at the dog park uses "where are you?" for her come (she gave me the idea). Try training "come" as a game. Get people together to hide in different rooms and have them take turns (one at a time) calling her with her name and your new "come" phrase. When she finds them have them give her a treat and lots of attention. Hopefully it's something easy like the word!
  *Biting/nipping is a result of inconsistancy. People have allowed her to get away with it. I suggest replacing your hand (or whatever she is biting) with an -eatible- nylabone. Also, make her sit when being pet by strangers (practice this one with a friend). If she gets up or starts nipping, they should stop petting her. Never mess with a dogs head or face or mouth (anything that could cause biting). Chances are someone has accidently taught her a bad habit that she keeps being rewarded for. It was probably cute or bearable at one point and doesn't know that it's painful. I use clicker training for biting (you said it hasnt worked but if you want to give it another go, email me for details).
  *If possible, give your kitty his/her own room. I bought a nice cat tree on ebay for my kitties and found a 3 foot gate to block off their new bedroom. They are so much more happier now, and can easily escape chasing dogs. Dogs chase by nature. Some don't have urges to, but it's not something that will be easily remedied. Hopefully it's just a hyper-puppy stage.
  
  I forgot to mention that most to all training should be started in a nondistractive environment, and generally, everyday distractions should be added. It takes awhile, but it helps dogs focus. I still think that your dog may be understimulated, just because of the nature of retrievers (which is also why she chases the cat). I would seriously look into dog parks and agility training.


• The shock collars are ok if you know how to use them correctly. It doesn't take much, trust me. And don't OVER use it. They also have the noise collars that emit a high frequency noise that hurts their ears, but I don't have any personal experience with those. The invisible fences w/ shocking collars have seemed to work pretty well, from what i've seen.


• Call up Cesar Millan, The dog whisperer.
  or watch his show on the national geographic channel its very interesting and informative.


• we have a really crazy dalmatian we got from the pound and I was ready to give up on him; we started "crating " him at night and walk him lots and lots, and he's getting better. Good luck!!


• Use corrections: A quick pop and release of the collar by pulling on the leash from a loose position. It is the equivalent of a pull on the wrist to a human. If you are teaching sit, get her on your left side with the leash on. Tell her calmly and sternly "Sit." If she doesn't start to sit, give her a correction. If she doesn't sit after two or three corrections, put her into a sit position while saying "sit" so she relates the word to the action.
  
  I would get her a crate so she won't be able to get into the trash while you are gone or will be unsupervised with your cat.
  
  As far as come, I would teach it with stay. You can do the "Sit, Stay, Come" exercises with her. Stand next to her, put her into a sit. Step in front of her with your palm right in front of her face. You should be facing her. Take one or two steps back, then tell her in a cheerful voice to come. Give her a lot of praise. Slowly increase the distance between you two. If she breaks a stay, don't get angry at her. Just calmly walk back over to her and start the excercise over moving a little bit closer and working your way back again. By not getting angry, she will remain calm. Consistently reinforce good behavior with praise, and give her a correction for bad behavior. Do not say NO too much. Only for a serious misbehavior.
  
  Hope she grows out of it!! GOOD LUCK!


• You need a good training book, and 15 minutes every day with a pocket full of food morsels and a hungry dog. What is the point of those clickers if you have a voice, a voice that is always right there with you.
  
  Do not try to teach a dog to sit by pushing his rear down. There is no need to. When your dog is good and hungry, hold a few morsels of food slightly higher than his nose. He will wag his tail, beg, etc. Eventually, when you don't give him anything he will naturally sit down, looking at you. THEN you say sit and give him a morsel of food. 30-40repetitions of this and he will sit on command whether you have treats handy or not. If you have to do it in two or three sessions that's okay. Every once in a while reinforce the training with a few food morsels again.


• Sounds to me like you have a very confused dog. All you need now is to try about 10 more methods and it will be a lost cause.
  Consistency is and always has been the key to training any animal. Pick a training program, ANY TRANING PROGRAM, and stick with it.
  The irony is that there are over a dozen training methods out there, AND THEY ALL WORK!!!


• I say don't give up on a good trainer. If you didn't get anything from your obedience "school" then you were not working with the "right" trainer. Not all trainers and their various methods are right for every dog and owner. You need to find one that works for you. Contact a local Training, Obedience or Agility Club and ask for referrals. Don't go to a "school" but rather find a good trainer who only takes on clients via word of mouth. I have found these are some of the best ones and less expensive as they don't have advertising costs or overhead of rental (they often work something out with a local place to have their classes).
  
  A really good trainer will help you understand your dogs behavior and that is a good start in training your dog.


• Sounds likle the handler is the problem. why are you switching to so many different things? All you need to do is be patient and consistent. First it was a clicker, then it was obedience training - by someone other than you? Then a whistle. Now you want to jump to something else? Stop giving so many signals and work with your dog. Put her on a leash, walk with her, praise her when she does soemthing right and then move on to the next thing. You should be training her on a leash at all times. No shock collar, no electric fence, no zapping her when you don;t know how to train your own dog. The failure is the handler, not the dog.


• Dogs have not got morals and values the way that humans have. When they run and hide, it's because they have a history of being scolded or hit by you. Punishing a dog for doing "something bad behind your back" is extremely ineffective, as she's shown you. Dogs are not stubborn, especially Goldens - these dogs live to hang out with you and play with you - that is, unless you've taught her that being with you is not fun. You're the only one here who can answer that question.


• The humain Society recommends cage training for dogs, it sounds like your dog thinks she is a member of your family and she doesnt feel that she is getting enough attention. Hey dogs are much like children they will do anything to get the attention they need even its not positive attention. Good Luck and stay consistant.
