any ideas for Tips and hints for dog training?
Hi, i have a 1 year old cross breed dog, he has a lovely temperament and is house trained. he sits and gives paw for treats. i was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to train him to stop pulling on the lead when going somewhere new, and how do you ensure he will come when called, especially when out without a lead. he will be going to classes for obedience. oh and the biggest question, how do i stop him going to, sniffing ans pushing at the gerbil cage? Thanks in advance for all your hints and tips
If you are taking him to obedience class they will teach you everything you need to know. When it comes to pulling on the lead, you stop and wait until the dog walks back to you, give them a treat and you start again. You may have to repeat but they will learn you are the leader not them. Obedience class helps you train your dog to come when called, work with him inside and if you have a yard with a fence outside as much as possible where there are distractions. Remember Praise and treat whenever they come! When it comes to the gerbil there is a thing called "leave it" you take a treat set it on the ground and say "leave it" if the dog goes near it cover it with your foot (don't smoosh it :) ) and say leave it again. Eventually your dog should walk away or sit down. when you move your foot to uncover it and he starts to go to it again repeat the proces again, Leave it! They will realize it is something they are not suppose to have and should give up on it completely. You praise and treat when they finally stop going for it :) When your dog has learned that if they go near the cage you say "Leave it" and they will walk away.
Sorry for the novel.. Everything I've said and more you will learn in obedience class. Good luck with your dog!
