How to train dog to stay home alone?
When we want to leave the house my dog really wants to come when he cant. So we tell him to stay but he doesnt listen and he keeps jumping on us. Then when we go to open the door he runs out of the door and wont come back in. We tell him to come and he wont come back in. It takes about 10 minutes fo finally bring him back in. What to do to stop this and make him understand he's not coming?
Well, your dog must understand that he's not the center of your world because at the moment he thinks he is. Always make sure that you're not giving him attention when he WANTS it.. this is not to say dont give him attention at all, only give it to him when he's being good, that is sitting down quietly--- then offer him a game, a run around or a play or something. He must know that he gets it on your time, not whenever he wants it. When you come back home don't have such a high key entrence such as "HI DOGGY!!!" just ignore him. This WILL be hard, i do it with my dog and it breaks my heart to see him there wanting my attention, but it will eventually teach your dog that he wont get what he wants when he's asking for it. Do this when you leave the house to, when he's jumping at you try not to make a fuss but go about your daily routine of leaving the house. As for teaching him how to "stay" it requires persistance. Get a treat, make him sit and then say "STAY" in a firm and low voice and stick your hand out like a stop sign. Walk backwards and the second he tries to get up, push him back into the position. When you're happy that he has stayed long enough, give him the treat. Make it longer and longer each time, then when you're confident, apply this to when you're leaving the house. Say STAY in a low and firm voice and leave.... Once again, no "GOODBYE DOGGY! I'LL BE BACK, I LOVE YOU!" it wont hurt his feelings i assure you, dogs are very different to humans.
Little things aswell.. always walk through doors before him, especially your front door or gate. Use the stay technique if you end up teaching it, then walk through the door and once you get outside, call him to come and give him lots of praise when he does.
I hope i have been of help. A very good trainer taught this to me and my little puppy is an angel thanks to her. Your dog wont think you dont love him if you ignore him, trust me, there are so many chances to give him love.
