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: http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn150/ladiiedumbo/diamond_26.jpg
you can say the command and reward and praise her. god luck!

[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] What would be the best type of event for my dog?
I am looking for something fun to train my dog in after school, at least, when school starts. I have a 2 year old Lab named Angie who has no hip problems and is pretty easy to train. I can throw a ball really far (70 feet), if that helps. And she'll catch it on the first bounce. Jumping and stamina are no problem. She's jumped a 4 foot high jump and will fetch for an hour non-stop. But she hates guns and is not to good at tracking. She goes freako for a tennis ball, their her favorite. But she won't handle a frisbee soft enough to not break it in half. She'll work good with other dogs, once she knows them, or as long as I'm around. We tried agility, but I don't have the right obstacles and can't buy any. I'm not going to enter her in any competitions any time soon, but I want something to train her in. I have two homemade agility jumps and a ramp left from my agility equipment (started out with 5 jumps and a see-saw). Please Help Me!!!
Go for agility! Me and my mutt, Butch, go outside every day to do our jumps I set up in our spacious backyard (lucky to have an enormous backyard!). I run alongside him and go around the jumps, and he sails over them like they're nothing. I think he'll only be able to jump 5 ft high or 5 ft wide, but for now we can jump as long and tall as 4ft long and 2 ft high. It really is amazingly fun and we love it! Best of luck!

Demystifying The Modern Myths And Misconceptions About Electronic Training Collars
Electric dog fences, bark collars, and dog training collars have become a popular method for pet owners to control the behaviors they find undesirable in their pet. With prices of these training systems becoming more affordable and pet owners finding them to be safe and effective, product sales have dramatically increased. As the widespread availability and increased sales of these electronic training collars grow, so do many of the myths and misconceptions about them. These myths are often based on misinformation or ignorance of the facts. Unfortunately, many people believe these rumors and miss the opportunity of using a valuable dog training tool.
Myth #1: Electronic training collars are not safe One of the most common questions asked by pet owners is "Will this hurt my dog." When used correctly, Absolutely Not! Today's electric dog fence collars, bark collars and dog training collars are more humane because they only emit a very mild electric stimulation. The "shock" produced by these electronic training collars is not painful, physically jarring or harmful and is nowhere near the level of intensity that some people think. In fact, the electric stimulation is actually a static correction similar to what happens when you rub your feet on the carpet and then touch something. The response is usually surprising and uncomfortable but, by no means, painful or harmful.
The following chart compares the energy discharge of electronic training collars with many common items. The energy output is measured in Kilovolts: 1- Electronic containment system such as an electric fence at its lowest level = .9 kilovolts 2- Remote training collar at low level = 1 kilovolt 3- Bark control collar at low level = 2 kilovolts 4- Nylon carpet at 50 relative humidity = 9 kilovolts 8- Abdominal energizer (ab stimulus machine) = 18 kilovolts 9- Cattle prod = 27 kilovolts 10-Defibrillator = 75 kilovolts 11-Stun gun = 625 kilovolts
With proper training and a good understanding of product use, these electronic training devices are very safe to use in achieving effective results and minimizing risk. However, incorrect use can put your pet at risk to some extent either physically or psychologically. Before using these training devices, pet owners should read ALL instruction manuals and education materials that are included with the product. Since every animal will react differently to correction, you should always begin training on the lowest setting and watch the dog closely to monitor its response. When used appropriately, electronic training devices are a safe and appropriate tool for most behavioral and containment issues that often frustrate pet owners.
Myth #2: Electronic collars can cause burns This myth is not true or even possible. You cannot get burned by a static shock. Electronic training collars are still not as powerful as a static shock from carpeting on a dry day, even when set to their highest levels. Veterinarians often misdiagnose a condition called "Pressure Necrosis", which is responsible for this burn rumor. Pressure Necrosis occurs when the electric dog fence collar, bark collar, or dog training collar is fit too tightly on the pet's neck and/or left on too long. The continued pressure of the two metal probes on the dog's neck, along with the dirt and oils around those probes will cause the skin to break down and die. The result is two marks at the point of the probe contact that look and smell like hot spots or sores, which are often mistaken for burns. To help prevent this problem the electronic training collar should be removed from the pet when not being used. You should also clean the dog's neck with shampoo and the contact probes with alcohol at least once a week. Robert E. Schmidt, D.V.M., Ph.D. stresses that "prevention of Pressure Necrosis is the best treatment. If reddening of the skin is noted, the tightness of the collar should be evaluated." He also urges pet owners to "check for proper fit and irritation on a daily basis."
Myth #3: Electronic training collars are difficult to use and only professional trainers should use them Keith Benson of Triple Crown Dog Training Academy (The largest canine training and behavior center in America) states that "With today's advanced collars that is certainly not the case. Improved technology has made them much easier to use and understand." He also said that "Almost any dog owner can understand the operation and use and will be able to communicate with his dog with 15 or 20 minutes of instruction. It is however important to understand how to use them before you put it on your dog. If you do not fully understand, then seek help from an experienced professional."
Education is the answer! Before making an opinion about the use of electric dog fence systems, bark collars and dog training collars as training tools, it is important to educate yourself and find someone who has had a successful dog training experience with them. When you are training a pet, you need to have as much information as possible. As you select an electronic training collar, make sure you choose one that provides you with instruction manuals and/or videos. Owners, who use the equipment correctly and spend a significant amount of time working with their dog, will see an overall improvement in their pet's behavior.
