Introduction to clicker-training your dog.. In “clicker-training” the dog is rewarded with the help of a small mechanical device making a “clicking” sound, thus the name “clicker”. Clicker-training is a type of operant conditioning where the dog connects the clicking sound of the device with a reward (food, playtime) and becomes a reward to the dog in itself and therefore marking the precise behaviour that we want to reinforce. Advantages: The two most apparent advantages to using a clicker rather than the more traditional vocal communication (for example “good dog”) are speed and accuracy. While “good dog” takes a certain amount of time to say, the clicker can reinforce the...

One of the most useful commands you can teach your puppy, is how to sit. When sitting, a dog will give you their full attention, which makes it a great command to use before moving to another command. It's also great for safety- if your dog is about to cross the road unattended, then the sit command could even be a life saver! There are also some other commands (such as "stay", and "lie down"), which actually begin from the sitting position, and you won't be able to move onto them until your dog is sitting when you want. Luckily, teaching a puppy to sit is quite simple. Dogs can't flex their spine, so if you tip their heads high enough, they will just sit naturally. All puppies know how to sit...

In the world of dog training, there are practically dozens of Dachshund puppy training methods. You would have to through a lot of trial and error in order to find the one that is right for both you and your pet. Now if you ask me, what is the most effective way to train a dachshund puppy? I'd pick clicker training any day over other Dachshund puppy training methods!  The clicker is great because it can effectively mark the exact moment when your pup performs a correct behavior. Honestly, I've tried a number of methods on my Dachshund pup, Yoshi but she was stubborn as a mule (this breed is naturally stubborn anyway).    You see, Yoshi loves chasing after small creatures and don't get me started...

Dog training and chewing are just a part of life when you have a pet. I used to think that this would just be something I would have to learn to live with. Don't think that I just let it go. I tried almost everything I could think of to get my dog to stop using my house as his personal chewing den. I finally found something that worked but I went through a lot to get there. I did exactly what you are doing right now. I figured I could find the answer to my problems online. I spent at least a few days reading everything I could on the topic of dog chewing. I put together what I thought was a good game plan to break Einstein of his habit. I worked with him everyday for 3 weeks trying to get him to...

Puppies are very cute, adorable and cuddly but they can come up with many problems. One problem is biting and chewing. That can be okay when he/she is still a puppy, but when they grow up to be adult dogs, this can be a serious trouble. Many untrained dogs with severe problems usually end up being thrown away, or donated to dog homes. A simple training method can be resolved to avoid this harsh situation. Biting for puppies is a normal and natural way. Through their mouths, they like to explore the tastes and textures of the objects in their environment. There are many situations that most puppies bite and these are the possible reasons. The dog may bite as part of playing. When they are playing...

During the first six months that I had my yellow lab, he was a typical, high energy, crazy puppy. Besides enrolling in obedience classes to give him a job and to bring some order to our lives, I began looking around for other solutions to burn energy. One thing I tried worked great. It was the canine backpack. These are sold at pet stores and on the internet. To begin with, your dog needs a physical by your vet to make sure he can safely carry a backpack and for a recommendation on how much weight he can safely carry. Next, start out slowly, just like you would for yourself, when introducing new exercise. We used water bottles and started with one half filled on each side and moved up from there...

New pet owners will have to house train their puppy shortly after arriving home. Try not to look at this as a burden. House training is easy and can be done fairly quickly. Start immediately upon arriving home with your new pup. It takes a little longer to retrain a puppy that has already established bad habits. Always keep a positive attitude when training your pet. Keeping a positive attitude is one of the most important things to remember when you house train puppy. Don't scold your pup for making a mistake, this can cause them to become scared of you, (then they start to run off and hide when they have to potty, which can lead to them establishing a bad habit). Instead, let your pup know that...

It’s Starting To Hurt! Mouthy behavior is normal in puppies, and provides an excellent opportunity to teach your puppy to have a soft mouth.  Use soft mouth exercises to stop your puppy from biting you. Dogs are not born with soft mouths, but they can learn to bite softly if taught properly, which means plenty of information and communication from you and from other dogs. Interacting with other dogs is critical to teaching your puppy bite inhibition.  When two dogs play together and one bites too hard, the other one cries and runs away.  This behavior helps to teach the biter to play-bite softly. Normal puppies can and should play-bite continually in social interactions, because biting and...

Finding A Reputable Breeder By Ron Anyone can put two dogs together and let them breed, and in turn call themselves a “breeder.” However being called a “reputable” breeder encompasses far more than that. You wont find a reputable breeder trying to sell their dogs to local pet stores, or advertising in the classified section. A good breeder does not need these “gimmicks.” Instead, they rely on the quality of their dogs. Breeding is a practice that should be done with a sense of pride, and a feeling of fulfillment. So once you have decided that a pure bred dog is right for you, how do you go about the overwhelming task of choosing the perfect breeder? Well ideally there are several key things to...

Few professional dog trainers recommend punishment as a viable method for encouraging desired behaviors. Positive reinforcement through giving rewards (i.e. dog treats) has largely replaced punishment. For example, if you were training your pooch to sit, you would avoid punishing him for failing to comply. Instead, you would reward him when he finally manages to respond correctly to your command. The challenge with using positive reinforcement is that rewards must be provided quickly. Otherwise, your dog will fail to make the connection between his response and your reward. Because it is often difficult to provide treats immediately (for example, when your pooch is far away from you), a stand-in is...
