[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate]

What new trick can I train my dog?

I have a 3 year old yellow labrador! I love training her and i'm good at it! I trained her myself~

So heres the tricks my dog knows:
sit
lay down
fetch the paper
sit up pretty
circle me
say sorry(puts head on my lap)
army crawl(crawls on her belly)
shake
stay
roll over
come
wave
bang bang(play dead)
heel

then all the house manner stuff like "leave it" and stuff
shes also a trained gundog for my dad. she is really smart i i would like to enter her in agility but i dont have the money to buy equipment. Any fun training ideas?
my dog can fetch and retrieve, thats kinda part of the gundog thing. = )


attack is the last thing to teach her. you can teach her to "salute". its when they bow down on cue. you can even have her salute to any flag you desire! my yorkie, rat terrier, and cane corso can do it! (im teaching my latest dog which is also my icon how to do it). here's how. you can get her favorite snack (i use corn flakes. they're healthy for your dog, sugarless, and dogs love 'em!!) hold the favorite snack against your dogs chest, and slowly pull it down. she will begin to lie down. dont allow her to though! you can stop her form lying down by holding her rump up with your hand. then say the command ("salute") and reward and praise. consistency if the key with this trick. also, if you ever see her stretching like this:

you can say the command and reward and praise her. god luck!

Train Your Dog Not To Bark-Top 5 Tips On How To Train Your Dog Not To Bark

Most often than not dog owners are forced to look up answers on how to train your dog not to bark. Dogs just love to bark. For dogs barking is a natural form of communication, and a means to express their feelings. Its only when dogs bark excessively, it becomes a big nuisance for dog owners and their neighbors.

Barking is simply annoying, and can affect everyone in the household, as well as visitors and neighbors. Excessive barking can also be the reason of some behavioral or emotional problems. No matter how serious dog barking issue may seems like, with proper training it can be dramatically reduced.

Given below are the top 5 tips on how to train your dog not to bark -:

1 – Use a clear squirt gun to squirt some water on your dog when he is barking.

2 – When he is barking, throw something near him (example-keys) that will make a noise loud enough to distract him from barking.

3 – Let your dog know that you do not approve or expect the behavior that is being displayed by him. Make eye contact with him and firmly say "No" to your dog, but make sure you do not shout at him. Because if your do, you are likely to increase his excitement levels and cause him to bark even more.

4 – Whenever you dog shows bad behavior, do not reward him. For example, if your dog is barking excessively and you give him food, he is going to take the food as a reward for the behavior that he showed and keep on barking thinking about barking as the desired behavior.

5 – Reward your dog at the correct time. If your dog is barking and on your command he stops barking, make sure you reward his good behavior by either giving him a treat or by gently caressing him and saying "good dog". If you reward your dog after he has obeyed your commands, you will help in getting the message across that you just don't like his barking habits.

The key thing to remember when training your dog not to bark is to have a lot of patience and compassion. When trying to learn how to train your dog not to bark, a good dog training course can be very useful. You will want to look for the one that includes a free consultation with an experienced dog trainer.

Hunting Dog Training

Do you know of any resources for gun dog training?

We are bringing home two retriever puppies at the start of the year and we would like to train them as gun/ hunting dogs. Though we have hunted for years and have had retrievers in the past, we have never trained them to actually retrieve birds or rabbits in the field.

I am wondering what books or videos you used to get more information on training them to retrieve? I have looked at Cabela's and even searched on Amazon but I am not sure what exactly to look for,

Thanks!


most of the work is already done if you are getting a retrieving breed. they will chase, pick up and bring back instinctively. all you need to do is develop a language between you and the dog. "dead bird" is a favorite for finding downed birds. so when you shoot a bird you keep saying "dead bird" and walking around the area where it fell. when they find it you say "good dog! dead bird!" the next time you shoot something and say "dead bird" the dog will know whats going on. depending on the dog, it may take once or it may take a dozen times, but they will figure it out. thats the basic principle to retrievers. they just need a command to know when and where to look.


you can also use an attention command or a whistle and hand commands. "hip" is my attention command. i say "hip" and the dog stops and looks at me, then i use my arm to gesture in a direction. dogs can figure this out it the back yard if you play with them enough.


retrievers are pretty easy to train, especially if you only use them in the field and not on the water. all they really need is experience and clear communication with their owners. the rest is automatic to them. no need to train for seeking and finding. you just need to tell them when.

Dog Whistles For Training

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate]
dog whistles for training
how do you get the neighbors dog to stop barking....?

I would like to get the neightbors dog to stop barking. these people are not open to training the dog since we have asked and they are negligent. before i sue or call animal control, which sounds like a good revenge but complicated, i would rather handle the matter myself.

I have taken to throwing water on the dog over the fence everytime it barks. that worked on one dog but this other one form another neighbor is too far for me to get it wet. Besides, i might hit my neighbor by accident and there might be some more trouble than i want at this time.

What are some good ways other than water training to quiet a dog? I thought about dog whistles. Would blowing on it hard every time the dog barks make such a high pitched horrible sound that the dog would stop barking for fear of that sound? thanks.
thanks for the responses. however, i have already spoken to the neighbor and they dont do or do not know what to do about it. So now its war.


www.petedge.com They have bark solvers, look at bark solver X40.
