I was wondering if any of you dog-lovers on here had any dog training tips for me. My 6 year old rescue dog can be a bit difficult, at home he is great with his training - picks things up really quickly and will do almost anything for a piece of cheese or an ear rub! The problems arise when we go out and about. He will bark quite aggressively at almost every dog he sees (he is quite big so can be pretty scary when he starts getting vocal) and I've been having some difficulty on getting him to focus on me instead of what is going on around him. If there are no distractions and he's already done his "business" I can just about get him to do a sit but this is very reluctantly. My main problem is that when we are out he has no interest whatsoever in food treats and has never been toy motivated, so how can I go about training him without having anything to tempt him with? Any advice would be most welcome!
Ok first you need to theach your dog the "leave it" command. With that you have to have two treats one you tell him to "leave it" and the other treat you give him. Just it needs to be some thing he likes and to not touch when training.
Once you have that down. You take him out in an area you can control. Put him in a sit stand in front of him. So once he is looking at you then have them in the area but fat way and move foward slowly. And when he trys to look at the dog and bark tell him "Leave It". And if he dose not listen, turn and walk the other way. When he calms down. Do it all over again.
For him to me to meet another dog. First put a muzzle on him. Make sure you hav e a friend with a very nice dog. Stay behind them and flow. And when your dog does well get a little closer and close untill them meet. This will give your dog the smell on the other dog.

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] What is the best age to take a puppy to dog training courses?
I have a wire haired daschund and we will be taking it to dog training courses. What age is best for us to start taking it to courses?
Well, for me daschunds are the best choice of breed, so well done on that. I also think - judging by everyones answers - that you should start as early as possible. Daschunds really deserve a nice name like Koko. Whatever the name is, make sure it's not something like Dahpne. I would also recommend a dog training service such as "Lead The Dog". Just look at www.LeadtheDog.co.uk for more information. Have a nice day!

The internet is overflowing with an abundance of Dog Training tips. However it seems that so many articles out there overlook the MOST important one. It’s the one tip that will set the stage for the rest of your dog training efforts. The most important dog training tip is knowing how to be the “Alpha Dog” so your little buddy will respect you and follow your commands with obedient attention. This article is going to show you how to accomplish just that.
Take the lead and be the Alpha Dog…
Dogs naturally have a pack mentality. There's no getting around it. You must establish yourself as the pack leader.
Some people find it difficult to create dominance over their puppy. Afterall, your puppy is just "sooo cute". How can you look at that adorable face and be stern?
The simple truth is your dog WANTS to be led.
All dogs have either Alpha or Beta qualities. If your dog has strong Alpha qualities, he will compete with you for leadership. Let the dog win this battle and you'll be following HIS rules.
You need to be consistent with your dog training, rule setting and dominance or your dog will feel like he needs to take the top spot on the hierarchy.
Conversely, if your dog has a Beta type personality and you don't establish clear rules, he will become anxious and confused. Without a leader the dog may become fearful, confused or aggressive.
As a dog owner, your responsibility is to train your dog to understand that YOU are the "Alpha Dog" of the pack.
By acting like the "Alpha Dog", your dog will be able to instinctively relax and just follow your lead.
Additionally, your family members or other owners must establish themselves on the hierarchy of the pack. Your dog should understand that he is the lowest on the chain and it is his place to follow everyone's lead.
This will create a friendly, obedient and submissive dog that is respectful of your commands. Really the point of all this is to have your dog's respect and obtain control.
Everything you do from the moment you get your puppy will either build upon your Alpha role or take away from it.
That's why it is so important to have a clear understanding of rules before you get your dog.
When you stick to hard and fast boundaries for your dog's behavior, he will begin to understand what he can and can't get away with. This also includes feeding him on a set schedule.
As he realizes YOU'RE the boss, he will comply effortlessly with the kind of behavior you expect.
Part of this strategy involves the immediate correction of disapproved behavior with acceptable behavior. A good example of this is when your dog is chewing on one of your shoes and you replace the shoe with an approved chew toy.
You must also immediately follow the bad behavior with a sharp "No" and ALWAYS encourage any good behavior with "Good Boy". This taps into the power of positive reinforcement dog training.
I expand on this in other articles. But for now, know that these two phrases are "trigger commands". Over time, they will become incredibly powerful so use them appropriately.
Now you have a much better understanding of how dogs think. So don't feel bad about enforcing rules to your dog. It's actually comforting to him.
By establishing your role as the leader, you make your dog's life less chaotic and can train him knowing you are doing the right thing.

Me and my partner will soon be getting a jack russell puppy and could do with any advice anyone has for house training/general dog training, Thanks
Collect your puppy early in the morning; this will enable you to have several rehearsals for bedtime. It will help him settle and get used to his new surroundings. If you carry out the following he will not cry during the night and it will prevent separation anxiety for the rest of his life... If you bring your dog home by car take someone with you who will do the driving and let him lie on your lap, (not the driver, the puppy) this will help him to recognise you as his best friend. Do not let him into the house until he has been into the yard/garden and when you put him down he will probably urinate. If he does, use a phrase like “get one” and use this phrase every time he urinates. Eventually he will pee on command. After he has a pee let him wander around your yard/garden, if it’s not fenced keep him on a lead. After this take him into the house. If you do the following you will be able to potty train your dog and prevent separation anxiety. Dogs get separation anxiety if they are left alone. Hopefully you realise that you cannot leave your puppy all day, some dogs get very stressed if they are left alone for just a short time. You cannot take them shopping or to the dentists, consequently YOU MUST TRAIN THEM TO BE CONFIDENT WHEN THEY ARE LEFT AND PREVENT SEPARATION ANXIETY. Puppies need a lot of sleep and he will be tired after sniffing around the garden, he will need to rest and sleep in peace. Do the following to ensure that he does not suffer from separation anxiety and does not miss his mum and his litter mates. This is also vital if you want your dog to be clean and potty trained. Put your dog in a separate room if possible, then go out of this room and close the door. Open the door immediately and go into the room again, ignore your dog whilst pretending to clean the counter tops or pretend to do something else for a very short time. Go out of the room and immediately go back in again, keep doing this and gradually increase the amount of time which you stay on the other side of the door. Timing is vital and you must get back into the room BEFORE YOUR PUPPY CRIES. Eventually your puppy will go to sleep and will be convinced that you are just on the other side of the door. When you know that he is asleep stop going into the room, however you MUST LISTEN FOR HIM WAKING UP. When you know that he is awake, go into the room lift him up and CARRY HIM into the garden for a pee and whilst he is doing this say “get one” and praise him profusely. Puppies need feeding about four times a day, although he may have a pee before his feed you should also take him out again afterwards. You must always take him out when it wakes up and after he has had food or drink. It’s also a good idea to let him explore your yard/garden afterwards and play with him. Before you go to bed, take him out again and when you wake up take him out immediately
It is vital that you continue with the door thing for the first few days. This will stop him crying during the night because he will think that you are close by. To ensure that you have a happy puppy, try to devote all of your time to him for the first two weeks. This will help with potty training, however he will not have any control for the first few months and he will pee during the night... To help him, use newspaper that you have rubbed in one of the pees that he has done outside and leave several layers of newspaper on the floor. Hopefully he will toilet on the newspaper during the night. You should also encourage visitors as this will help with his socialisation. Later when you able to take him out, walk around supermarket car parks and the perimeter where there are lots of people. Stand at the school gates and watch the children coming out and you MUST take him to puppy classes to get used to other dogs.
GOOD LUCK.

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] How can i train my dog to hunt without a already trained dog ?
how can i train my beagle for Game Bird/rabbit hunting without another already trained dog.
any correct links will help alot.
thanks alot =]]
I train all my beagles on bottled scents. You can buy the scents at almost any hunting supply store. I purchase deer scent and put it on their collars. Within a short time, Beagle get use to the scent of deer and will not run them. They will simply pass over a deer trail. You can buy the same for rabbits. I apply a large amount to a rag tied on a piece of rope and drag it a short distance. Gradually (like every 2-3 day) I decrease the rabbit scent amount on the rag and increase the distance. I start puppies at about 5 weeks before they even leave my house. I have found with the ones I am keeping, they are tracking long distances and baying when nessassary by the time they are 9-12 weeks.
