How do i train my dog to be obedient?
CRATE TRAINING for the potty training. The other methods sound difficult and not very timely.

heres the website, if the humane society recomends it then it%26#039;s fine.





As for the other stuff, a small dog i extremely difficult to train because they don%26#039;t respond much to leash corrections and what not. I would just keep the dog in the crate when you eat, and throw him back in if he has unacceptable behaviour.


Your story is why I stick to larger easily trained dogs i.e. my german shepherd.
Reply:Whatever you do, DO NOT LISTEN TO SOSUEILY. He is a MONSTER.





He starved his dog for a week because he was chubby (after being fed candy bars every day), dropped his Pomeranian on a walk and the Pom broke his leg and died a month later %26quot;because he stopped eating%26quot; (which means he didn%26#039;t get to the vet!), hits his dog with a vacuum cleaner to get him to trust it, and picks his dog up and SHAKES HIM when he%26#039;s bad!
Reply:i have 5 dogs at home and their all smart and do cool tricks the way i do it is if they do something bad hitt their butt wit a news paper not hard but just so it makes a loud noise and give them a treat when they do someting good but show them what they did good or bad

Reply:In your obedience classes you were taught how to correct his behavior. You just have to be stronger in your corrections.





When correcting a dog one has to judge how much force is necessary for any particular dog. Some dogs don%26#039;t need a very strong correction because they are mild mannered dogs. While other dogs can be the %26#039;bully%26#039; %26amp; need stiffer corrections. Your dog is a good example of that. You have tried all the corrections but nothing seems to work. You have to be stronger in your corrections.





How can such a small dog make it onto the table? Remove any objects he uses to get there.





For his bitting, pinch his nose when he IS biting.





Let him drag a leash %26amp; when the door opens step on the leash. That will stop him cold in his tracks.





Dogs learn through reptition. Doing the same correction over %26amp; over %26amp; over again. Getting stiffer %26amp; stronger the more he resists. You have to be consistant %26amp; ALWAYS correct, never miss a chance to correct. Inconsistancy will ruin training.
Reply:Your dog%26#039;s aggressive behavior may have been caused by his early life at the shelter or on the streets before he went to the shelter. He probably had to %26#039;stand up for himself%26#039; just to survive. He doesn%26#039;t understand that he no longer has to do that.





There is a highly acclaimed book on eliminating aggressive behavior in dogs at the site listed below. My friend used it when she had problems with her dog and she said it really works.





Good luck.
Reply:buy an electric collar.


buy an electric fence.





everytime he errors, buzz him.


barks, buzz him.


jumps on furniture, buzz him.


it%26#039;s not like a HUGE ELECTRICAL SHOCK


you can change the settings, because after awhile, he%26#039;ll get used to it.





and when he responds to the buzz, and corrects his error like jumps off a chair, and stops barking, reward him.


eventually he%26#039;ll get used to it.





for example, when you see him jump on the chair to get food, buzz him.


when he runs to the door and tries to get out, buzz him.


when he barks back, buzz him.





puppy school is also very distracting because there are so many other untrained, younger dogs.





also, you%26#039;re safer adopting an older dog from a shelter than because with an older dog, you get what you see when you interract with it.





secondly, adopting a puppy from a shelter is a bad idea because you aren%26#039;t familiar with the behavior issues of it%26#039;s parents, and most likely the breed.





that was a bad move on your part.


but withdrawl him from puppy school,


and consult your vet about his behavior problems.





invest in electric collar,


or fence. it%26#039;s not animal cruelty, it%26#039;s just a reminder-


because vocal reminders for your dog don%26#039;t really work


and this isn%26#039;t a physical reminder that will scar the dog (i.e hitting, beating), it%26#039;s just more repetitive.





you could probably invest in a dog whistle, too.
Reply:1. He%26#039;s only 7 months old, none of that is uncommon.


2. That%26#039;s good, I%26#039;m not into the whole fix every dog on earth thing, but they do tend to be easier to handle.


3. Crate training works wonders, but some dogs are just to stubborn, like Siberian Huskies for example


4. Only train for about 10 minutes every other hour, he%26#039;s a kid and his attention span isn%26#039;t very long like every other dog. The most spent with any dog is at most usually best around a 1/2, and that%26#039;s for adults.


5. He%26#039;s still pretty young he%26#039;ll catch on! Puppy school will pay off, be patient.


6. Keep him locked up where he can%26#039;t get to shoes when you can%26#039;t watch him! Do this in part of his 10 minutes, and give him both. At first he will prefer the the chew toy but tell him no, take the shoe away and give him a chew toy, make sure you use a shoe you don%26#039;t want anymore. After awhile he should start to want the chew toy. Also me might not like the chew toy, so try different chew toys. Or flavor the chew toy. Ask professionals safe ways to do this though!


7. Hold his snout shut(make sure not his nose though so be careful, he needs to breath) and TAP(NOT hit) his snout and give him a stern %26quot;no%26quot;(not yelling, you don%26#039;t want to scare him!)


8. As for this, lots of patients, perhaps get one of those things like a child gate for him. But keep him on a leash you can get in time and if he does give a stern %26quot;no%26quot;, get him(make sure to be fast) then put him in the crate if he doesn%26#039;t immediately return to you. Also train him come! I have a Siberian husky though and they are naturally runners so some dogs just don%26#039;t ever stop.


9. Keep telling him no and put him on the ground, if he keeps at it put him in the cage for a time out.


10. I%26#039;ve never had one to train to stop so, sorry I can%26#039;t help there!


11. That%26#039;s great he%26#039;s healthy.


12. The talking back is more than likely that he%26#039;s scared, don%26#039;t do it so loud, use authority, keep the anger away.


13. This is showing that he%26#039;s the man and top dog, that he%26#039;s buff and tough.


14. He%26#039;s scared. Help him not be so scared by first keeping him away from when guests come, he needs to get use to them. There%26#039;s also the possibility he could be just being mean, and if that%26#039;s the case just give him the %26quot;no%26quot; if he doesn%26#039;t stop immediately, crate!





In all this, become the top dog. It seems like a lot of the problems is he doesn%26#039;t know who top dog is. You need to become the pack leader. Some of them seem to be a few signs of him just being scared too.





Hope at least some of that helps.
