Wouldn'T it be nice if it was snowing or raining or cold and gross outside, or maybe you were late for work and you had to get going really quickly that you could take your puppy outside and they could go to the bathroom right away.
When you ask them to Well, I'm gon na talk to you about a few ways. You can teach your puppy how to go to the bathroom on command.
My name's Kayl McCann and welcome to McCann Dogs. The first thing that I wan na talk to you about is how to actually teach your dog to go to the washroom on command.
Now, when you take your puppy outside, they can get very easily distracted. So it's best to keep them on a short leash and just stand still and try not to talk to them too much.
Stay quiet and let them just think about their job Once they go to the washroom start to pair the command that you wan na use with your dog.
What is the hardest command to teach a dog?
Now I used the command hurry up. That'S what I feel most comfortable saying in public around people - And I just say that over and over and over again as the dog starts, to go to the washroom
Once they finish, then I simply just praise the dog. I don't make a big deal. I don't necessarily give them cookies or treat them, But I do use my voice to let them know I'm happy with what they've done.
What is the hardest dog to potty train?
Another thing to consider is the best time of day to teach your dog to go to the washroom on command. I like to teach my puppies when they first get up in the morning from a long sleep overnight to take them outside at that point, because I know they have to go to the washroom When they go to the washroom for the first couple days, I wait until they go before I start saying my command over and over and over again The puppy doesn't know what the word means yet.
So what I have to do is pair my word with the behavior that the dog is already doing Now. After a few days go by.
I may consider saying the word a few times before the dog goes and see if they start to sniff or initiate behaviors that mean that they're gon na go to the washroom If the puppy's more interested in playing and jumping around I'm gon na stop saying that command and just go silent again and wait for the puppy to go to the bathroom or show signs, And at that point I can start repeating my word again.
There'S no point in giving a word if the dog doesn't know what it means, So you have to make sure the first couple of days is more of a behavior and word association.
One problem you might run into when teaching your dog to go to the washroom on command is that puppies often get really good at going to the bathroom on command quickly in locations that they're used to so such as your house or places you take them on A regular basis, But there's gon na be times when you have to take your puppy and make them go to the washroom in places that aren't so familiar, So maybe you're heading to a dog class or you're traveling on the road for a while.
And in my case I fly a lot with my dogs and I have to go to a lot of different airports And unfortunately, airports aren't always the greatest place to find areas for your dog to go to the washroom.
There'S been times when I've only had a very small piece of grass that they have to go on, or even just concrete itself, And the fact that my dogs can go to the bathroom quickly when I ask them to and they're not as picky about the location.
It makes my 10-hour trip to Europe a lot less stressful, knowing that they're down below and they've relieved themselves and they're comfortable Teaching your puppy to go to the bathroom on command is both easy and convenient, and it really doesn't take that long to do.
So the next time that you're late for something or there's a snow storm outside - and you have to take your puppy to go to the bathroom you're gon na - be very thankful that they will go quickly on command for you Now.

Our mission of the Guide Dog Foundation is help. People live without boundaries. So when my trainer brought Michael, I was just overwhelmed and Happiness. Just I can't explain it. It'S just a fantastic thing: I'm not gon na cry.
I swear Ugh During that time, with the bridging program, the volunteers and the staff members are going to be exposing the puppy to a variety of different environments and situations. So today we had a ball pit out and we had a little tiny set of stairs. We also had a tunnel that was made out of flexible plastic. Everything is a fun engaging exposure.
So we make everything fun and exciting and yeah it's awesome And all of a sudden, something they might have been overwhelmed or scared at is something cool for them. Our major goal for guide dog training is to get the dogs accustomed to the harness and wearing in the harness, even at a young age.
How does a dog become a guide dog?
So the reason why we use the puppy harness is: it really gets the dog acclimated at that puppy stage.
So when a dog goes into, a harness is going to actually make the dog feel that oh, I have a job.
I'M working, We ask our puppy raisers to socialize the dog, so they're a welcome presence And it's really really important, because we want the dogs to have fun and we want the dogs to be exposed to everything for the first time with the puppy raiser and not When they're with their client Making sure that they get lots of food rewards and belly rubs and kisses and petting and playtime is important Dogs love to learn they're just little sponges.
Do puppy raisers for Guide Dogs get paid?
They want to do things and then you want to have a job At the Guide Dog Foundation about half of our dogs, make it through the final guide dog process. We care about the dog's happiness, We want them to be enjoying the job and we find other jobs for them if that works, And we have different career options. So it's our responsibility to try and find a career that this dog will enjoy.
And if they don't want to have a career and they're telling us that they would be more comfortable as a pet, that's absolutely a choice that the dog gets to make And they can be adopted by the puppy raiser or a selected adopter.
I'Ve been a guide dog user for 16 years And can't imagine life without one. The bond is hmm The bond is indescribable When you first pick up that harness handle you're thinking. Really. This four-legged friend is gon na make sure I go in a straight line to get to where I need to go And it's amazing. It works. He just builds my confidence level.
I'M very shy.
Truly, I am Holding the harness is just a fantastic thing. I, the confidence level is just through the roof Man. Now you made me cry. Wah, Come on, I wasn't sure I was scared.
I had just graduated high school and I flew out to Long Island all by myself and was just young. So when my trainer brought Michael, I was just overwhelmed with happiness.
I was scared to death with my first dog And when we got back to the starting point, I probably ugly cried for five minutes, because I knew that that dog would not put me in harm's way. All my dogs have been great and I truly appreciate what this organization does..
- Shake your paw. Yes. Wave, yes. Yes, high five, yes. Good girl.
Close the door. Yay! Today we're going to talk about how to teach four tricks starting with one simple trick call shake a paw. Using the shake a paw trick you can actually get lots of other cute things from it.
This is my 11 month old border Collie Bee-Line My name is Kayl. Welcome back to McCann Dogs. (dog yipping) Now as I was preparing for this video, I realized that Bee actually only knows how to shake a paw with one paw.
When I was trying the other paw she didn't really know what I was talking about. So what I, yes good girl.
What I thought I would do is start off by just actually showing you how to teach the shake a paw just in case your dog might not know it anymore. So if I can tell her shake a paw with my left hand. Shake a paw. Shake.
When should you start professional puppy training?
She doesn't really know what to do other than use her right paw.
So what I'm going to do is start with her in a sit and then put the food on her nose and I'm going to lure her balance off the right side which is going to cause her leg to lift up.
Yes good girl. <
h3 style="text-align: left;">What is the hardest trick to teach your dog?
When it lifts I'm going to yes and reward. Now a mistake, yes, that people often make when they're teaching shake a paw is they often want to pick the dog's paw up and then feed it but it doesn't really teach Bee to offer her paw to me. It only teaches her to sort of sit and wait for me to lift it up.
So I'm going to lure her off balance.
Yes. And then she if she'll start to lift her paw a bit, yes, a bit more independently which she's actually already starting to do. Yes good girlie. I don't bother saying a command.
Yes, good girl. I wait until she's doing this a bit more consistently. Yes, that was a good one. Good girl missy moo moo. Now I will repeat this process until lifting the paw became easier and easier.
And at the point where I can offer my hand and she'll offer her paw at the same time I can start to put it on a command. And for her I'm going to have to use two separate ones.
I already say shake a paw. Bee shake. I already shake a paw for her right paw so I'm going to have to come up with something creative for the other one.
Good girl. Now once your dog knows how to shake a paw very easily, the next two tricks, high five and wave come very very simply and you almost can get your dog to do it right away.
They just need to be able to know to shake a paw very easily. So if I offer my hand to paw up. Shake a paw.
Yes, she knows now to put her paw into my hand. So what I'm going to do for the high five is just switch my hand around so it's upright just like you'd be giving somebody a high five.
Just before she touches me and then of course I'm going to yes and reward.
Now I'm going to start off my saying shake a paw and very quickly once I reward her I can start to change the command to something a bit more original like a high five or whatever you like. Ready, paw.
Yes good. Paw, yes good. Paw yes good girl. So she's pretty comfortable touching my hand with her paw even though my hand's a bit different so I'm going to start putting it on a more original command.
High five.
Yes good girl. High five; yes good girl.
go again as the training continues I'm going to yes, mark the correct behavior with the word yes and then I can follow with a reward one second later. High five, yes. Good girl.
Now the process of teaching your dog to wave is very similar as well. I'm going to start off by offering my hand and just before Bee touches her paw to my hand, I'm going to pull my hand away and when her paw swipes through the air I'm going to mark that with a word yes and then I'm going to reward her from there.
Again there's no sense in me using the command wave at this point. Most of the things that Bee's banking off of right now are following is my body language. So the words don't really matter much at this point until I'm getting the behavior more consistently.
Here babe sit.
Good girl, yes. Good girl. So I show my hand and then pull it away. Look, hey.
Yes good. Okay so this is going pretty well. So now I'm going to start to put it on command. Wave; yes, good. I keep dropping it, free liver treats.
Wave, yes wave. Yes good girl. When she's able to put her paw up without yes.
Yes, yes. Good girl.
Without touching me or anything else I'm going to yes and give her a cookie. Wave, yes yes. Yes, yes, who's a good girl. Very nice. So before you know it you have three tricks just for the price of one and I'm going to go ahead and show you one more little bit more advanced version.
Now one of the benefits of teaching your dog how to use their paw is you can actually start to teach them to foot target anything you can think of and this can develop into really helpful tricks like you know shutting a door or turning off the light, a light switch, or anything that you want really. So I just grabbed a weird household item, our dish wash scrubber here and I'm going to teach Bee to touch her paw to it.
Now I've never done this before. She only has practiced touching her paw to my hand but I'm going to see if I can transfer it to a particular object and then from here I can go in tons of different directions. So I'm going to see what she does here.
I'm going to have her sit. I'm going to hold this in the air just like I would my hand, oh. Yes, did you see that? She just offered her other paw. You are so smart.
Good girl.
After all that practice she's starting to offer it already. Forget that for a moment, we're going to do something different. So I'm going to start off by offering this, you're such a good girl, yes. I'm going to start offering this to her and if she touches it with her paw I'm going to yes and reward and if I think I need to say shake to help her offer, I may do that.
Yes good girl.
This is about being patient too. You see she's not offering it right away. Yes good girl. You may notice that she goes to put her nose towards it.
I'm just pulling the brush away so that she kind of realizes that's not what I'm looking for. I don't want to tell her no, yes.
I don't want to discipline her. I just want her to be encouraged to think on her own. Yes good girl.
Now as she gets better I can again start to put this on some type of command. Now I don't usually use the word touch for anything so I think that's what I'll use after this one.
Ready, touch. Yes, good. Ready touch.
Yes good.
Good girl, one more. Touch, yes good for you. Excellent. So as she starts to get a better hang of this I can then start to transfer this to anything that I think might be cute or maybe even helpful.
Now as Ken and I were downstairs we started to realize that Bee-Line's picking up on this really quickly so we thought we would come upstairs and actually see if we could transfer it to a cupboard door right away.
Now I've changed her to a new location. Before we were practicing downstairs in the studio. Now we're up in the kitchen so to be a good dog trainer, knowing that dogs are very situational owners, I'm just going to take a couple seconds to reward her for touching her paw to the, dish wash scrubber. After you try as well we're in a new location.
Sit, good girl. Touch. Yes, good. Sit. Touch, yes good, touch.
Yes, touch, yes. Touch yes good girl. So she's pretty good at figuring out this in this new location so now I'm going to start to transfer it to the cupboard door. Touch. Yes good.
Touch. Touch, yes good girl Bee. Touch yes. Making it so it's really easy, yes. Good girl, to shut.
Touch. Touch yes. Good girl.
Now for the convenience of not holding a dish wash scrubber up to my cupboard in order to get my dog to shut it, I'm going to transfer the scrubber out of the picture now to see if I can get her to actually offer her paw directly to the cupboard.
She's had a ton of rewards for offering her paw in this situation so hopefully we'll be able to transfer it over and start getting the actual trick in place.
Now I'm only opening the cupboard just a little tiny bit to make it really easy and so that she doesn't get worried at all by the sound I'm going to give her lots of rewards. Touch. Touch. Yes, good girl.
Touch, yes good.
Touch, touch. Yes good girl. Yay good girl Freckles. Good girl, last but not least. Close the door, close.
Bee close the door, yes. Good girl. Now I had so much fun shooting today's video.
It's been a while since I've done any trick training with Bee-Line and I just, I'm constantly reminded how much fun it is to train tricks and how brilliant the dogs are when you break things down and make the training session fun and clear. Now if you're new to us, please subscribe to our channel.

NO EXCEPT ME, OF COURSE I WAS PERFECT.
What are the 7 basic dog commands?
YOUR DOG IS JUST LIKE A LITTLE KID, A PUPPY OR FROM THE SHELTER.
THEY WON’T KNOW THE RULES OF YOUR SPECIFIC HOUSE AND WHY YOU HAVE TO TEACH THEM AN EFFECTIVE NO COMMAND NO OKAY HERE’S A SECRET. IT IS NOT HOW LOUD YOU SAY IT BUT HOW CONVINCING YOU ARE WHEN YOU TRAIN IT THE PENNY BOTTLE REPEAT AFTER ME.
20 CENTS SOLVES ANY PROBLEM, AT LEAST IN THE DOG WORLD THE PENNY BOT SL ATLE IS A GENIU TOOL JUST TAKE 20 PENNIES AND PUTT IT IN AN EMPTY WATER BOTTLE IF THE DOG IS DOING SOMETHING WRONG, GIVE A SHAKE FOLL WED BY AN EFFECTIVE NO COMMAND.

What are the most important commands to teach your dog?
YOU WANT TO SLOWLY BUT SURELY ELIMINATE THE PENNY BOTTLE OUT OF THE TRAINING AND AFTER A WEEK OR SO RETIRE THE BOTTLE ALTOGETHER THE DOUBLE LEASH LOCK OFF.
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE TRAINING FOR CONTROL.
JUST HAVE TWO LEASHES, YOU HAVE A BACK LEASH ANCHORED AND THE FRONT LEASH CONNECTED TO THE COLLAR THE DOG CANNOT MOVE LEFT OR RIGHT AND NOW YOU HAVE A CONTROLLED ANIMAL NOW YOU CAN TRAIN THEM EFFICIENTLY THAN WITH JUST A LEASH ON.
IF DONE CORRECTLY YOU CAN TEACH THEM TO DO ALMOST ANY COMMAND IN ABOUT A WEEK OR LESS TRUST.
ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WILL EVER TEACH YOUR DOG. TRUST CANNOT BE FAKED.
IT HAS TO BE DONE ORGANICALLY AND AT THE SPEED OF LIFE, NOT THE SPEED OF LIGHT IT WORKS LIKE LITTLE KIDS THAT DO NOT TRUST THE TEACHERS WILL NOT LEARN EFFICIENTLY FROM THEM, JUST LIKE DOGS THAT ARE THE SAME WAY.
ONCE A DOG TRUSTS YOU, THEY WILL OFFICIALLY LEARN FROM YOU AND THE BEST PART IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL BE THAT MUCH STRONGER AND YOU’LL HAVE THAT MUCH BETTER OF A FRIENDSHIP FOR.
If you're, a new puppy owner or you're about to become a new puppy owner, you're, probably doing lots of research about how to give your puppy the best information. Well, in today's video we're going to give you five tips for puppy training that will set your puppy up for a lifetime of successful learning, I'm Ken Steepe And I'm Mark Herfert, And this is Rev.
Is Rev Welcome back to McCann Dogs, (, guitar, strumming, ), (, puppy, barking, ), So Mark talk a little bit about using a house line with Rev When you might use it. Why you're using it, you know the benefits of using a house line Yeah.
So, with a little puppy like this honestly at this point she doesn't really know a whole lot and she's just gon na be a little wild child at the house and running around. So I need some way of being able to maintain a little bit more control on her Throughout the house, if this kid gets away from me, she's running underneath tables she's running behind the couch, and the last thing I want to do is run after her, because, if I'm running after her then she's like `` Hey.
How can I exercise my 8 week old puppy?
This is awesome, !'' And it's just a game of catch sort of thing. So, by having this long line, if she decides to go a little way of distance from me, and I need to get her closer to me, I can just step on it and I have full control over her Yeah so anytime we're working with our puppies. We want to make sure we do have control of them in case they decide to scoot away.
How do I train my 2 month old puppy?
It just gives you a little bit more control and it makes you look like a dog training superhero, because you don't have to actually take hold of them for you to have a little bit more control.
Yeah and the beauty is that, even if I went out in the backyard, I still have that long line on she's only gon na go. You know when we're in the backyard - maybe seven eight feet away from me, but I've got this long line on me that I can easily catch up to her at any time.
You know something that a lot of us trainers will do with our new puppies is something called hand. Feeding and I know, Mark you feed her raw. You feed all of your dogs raw, but it's something that you could do with your feeding process with your puppy. Now tell our audience a little bit about what hand feeding could mean for them.
Yeah, no matter what you're feeding it's really good, because what the purpose behind why we're doing that is. We want these puppies to begin to realize that all good things come from us And, of course, food, and especially a puppy being eternally hungry sort of thing.
If the food comes from me, the puppy knows that I'm the one that provides all the necessities for it, And it just builds that relationship between us as handlers and the dog that much stronger Tell us a little bit about loading, your puppy's name and how you can do that at their regular feeding, time Yeah.
So at this point right now, there's no point in calling Rev's name cause as much as Ken knows: Rev's name I was gon na, say Ken knows: Ken's name, (, laughs, ) as much as Ken knows. Rev'S name - and I know Rev's name. Rev has no idea what her name is at this point.
So if I just sit there and call her name and call her name, nothing's gon na happen and we're just gon na deaden that command.
So what we like to do is we take a high value reward. Hopefully, she's got a hungry belly and we take that food place it on the nose call her name and that will lure her towards us. The reality is she's following the food, not the call to her name but right away. There'S name reward name reward name reward and she starts to build value in that name.
Yeah and Mark mentioned something really important, So if your puppy isn't paying attention to you, you can use that treat, put it on their nose and guide them back toward you. Once you have that undivided attention, you can break that up a little bit so Mark would say: ``, Rev ,'' then reward ``, Rev ,'' then reward ``, Rev ,'' then reward. It really is a Pavlovian idea of ringing the bell and your dog starts to associate that with something
So what you're doing with your eight week old puppy is you're really building value for that work by saying your puppy's name, then feeding them It doesn't even need to be a complicated process. It'S a pretty quick training opportunity, but man, oh man, does it ever build value for that name? The one thing you do have to be careful of, though, is that you're not calling your dog's name throughout times in the house where they can make a mistake. Mark mentioned that you really run the risk of reducing the value of that word.
If you're, using your puppy's name, when you don't have an opportunity to follow it up, So in the house Mark might use something like `` Here: pup, pup, !'' or anything else other than Rev's name when he needs to get her attention or when he's having fun with her in his home.
Yeah, absolutely at that point we're just making up nicknames that will have no real expectations for it later so pup-pup-pup-pup half the time, I'll, probably call her monkey-monkey-monkey or something like that Right yeah.
I will have no expectations for that word later, as opposed to her name. I will have a lot of expectations for Now we are really loading a ton of great exercises into these meal times, and one thing you can do is teach your puppy. That taking their collar is a really great thing, And how would you do that with Rev Yeah? So it's really important cause.
What we want is a dog, that's very calm when we're grabbing their collar. We don't wan na see that thing that you see all the time a person was grabbing the collar and the dog just deeks away Totally and wants to get away from mom or dad So what we will do is we will make it worth it to the dog to allow us to grab that collar.
So again, I'm gon na grab food. You can see a recurring theme here, so I'm gon na grab some food put it on my dog's nose.
While it's pretty much on the dog's nose and the dog is nibbling away at the food, I'm gon na reach in grab that collar ever so softly, say: ``.
Yes, good dog ,'' give my dog the food and then I'm gon na multiple times, just going in grabbing going in grabbing and calmly, holding that collar Yeah. It'S such a really nice opportunity to teach your dog that the moment you have control of their collar.
You can `` yes'' then reward them, and this is something as Mark mentioned, there's so many people who their dog will know exactly how long their arms are. They will come in to that point where you can almost take hold of them, but if you start by really making it valuable to have control of your dog's collar early by gently taking their collar and then rewarding them for that, you will very quickly teach them That it's worth being close to you That it's worth you having control of them, because you're gon na need to do it.
When you take their leash. You know when you're gon na attach their leash. Maybe if you need to pick them up for one reason or another There'S just so many times you want to be able to take control of your dog's collar and by really front loading the value, while maybe during a meal time or while you're working with your puppy. It'S such a beneficial skill.
And it's a great thing to do with those brand new puppies With those eight week old puppies cause, it's so simple to teach. Let'S talk about luring for a moment. What sort of things are you doing to teach your puppy to sit to teach your puppy to lie down talk about what you're doing with that eight week old puppy that will set them up to be faster learners as they get older?
Yeah so again, it's nice and simple stuff with such a young puppy. We can't expect too much and we have to make it really obvious to them what we want them to do. So what we're doing is luring, which is exactly that All we're doing is grabbing that high value treat.
I can put that treat on the nose and then from there. Just as the word says, I'm luring the dog to do the action that I want it to do. So, if I want to do it on a sit, I would just place the food on the dog's nose raise it back. The dog is basically just following the food The dog has no idea that it's actually doing the command.
It'S just following the food
And with regards to that command too, at this point you are certainly not putting a command on to it. It'S simply following the food Yeah, that's great, And one thing I want you to be sure of is because these are brand new things for your puppy. New positions. You'Re gon na be really deliberate about those luring techniques.
You'Re gon na slowly guide them maybe up and into a sit you're gon na slowly bring them into a down position.
And maybe, if you get a little bit more advanced, you can guide them into a stand. But at no point are you using the words
We'Re really building on a solid foundation here, and we wan na show our puppies that being in those positions, is ultimately what we want them to do.
But at this point, we're not associating with the words we're just guiding them into that sit and guiding them into that down and by doing that, you're really setting them up so that when you do start to pair those actions with a word they're gon na learn It so much faster Yeah, and I will say this too, when we are luring using that food to lure the puppy and, as Ken said, guiding the dog.
Remember this: that a dog has an attention span of about six inches. So if that food is on my dog's nose chances are my dog's gon na follow me As soon as you go six inches away, there is way more interesting things out there for this puppy to focus on Absolutely Good thing to remember with you guys with those brand new puppies at home.
So now that you've, given your brand new puppy, all sorts of great information, you should check out that puppy training tips playlist next to us. It will give you all sorts of tips and tricks for training your puppy as they get older.
On that note, I'm Ken I'm Mark - and this is Rev - Happy training.
Hey Pet Parents, I'm Bree - this is Maizy and today we're going to teach your dog how to stay DOG TRAINING TIPS, TEACH DOGS TO STAY So first off a good way to work on training. `` Stay'' is to remember the three D's Duration.
How long can your dog hold the stay? Distraction What can happen around your dog as she holds the stay And then lastly Distance? How far can you be from your dog while she stays So, let's start with how to train your pup to hold a stay for a duration, Put your dog in his sit and mark and reward to, let her know she's doing a good job. I like to use a click or a quick and happy ``.
Yes, ,'', followed by a treat Maizy, can you sit Good girl, If your dog holds her sit mark and reward a few times with little pauses in between Maizy Good girl, Good job, Oh you're, so good Next give her her `` Break'' cue to let her know she can move out of her sit. Maizy free, Yeah, good girl, And there you have it, That's an easy way to train your furry friend how to hold a position for a short time.
Can you send your dog away to be trained?
After that, you'll want to gradually increase the time as you practice until your pup stays like a pro Now, let's think about adding distractions, It's important to make sure your dog can stay in position and keep her focus while distracted, So here's how we're going to train that Ask your dog to sit, then introduce a small distraction Mark and reward every time.
Your dog notices the distraction but holds her sit Body movement is a good, simple distraction to start with here. So maybe look away from her Good job Raise a hand, Good girl Or turn sideways Good girl.
That was so good Repeat these steps a few times to help get your pup accustomed to these easy distractions before giving the `` Break'' cue.
Break Yes, Good job.
That was so good When you get to the point where your pup is easily holding the stay position. You'Re now ready to name the behavior Again put your dog in a sit.
Maizy sit Good girl, And this time give her the new cue for `` Stay .'', Making sure to only say it once Maizy stay, Perform an easy distraction, marking and rewarding for every successful hold Then give your `` Break'' cue and congratulate her for doing such a good job.
Gradually increase the difficulty of the distraction.
Maizy here really likes, this cow toy, so holding it up, may distract her more than my movement and my voice Stay Good girl And later on, we might try tempting her with a high-value treat like a piece of deli meat.
Good girl, Good job, But make sure you don't increase the difficulty too fast. If your dog fails, don't get frustrated, just go back a step or decrease the difficulty a bit to get back to a reliable stay. Finally, it's time to train your dog to hold a stay over distance.
This is a gradual, time-consuming process, but trust me it's worth it.

If your pet has problems with the dog bark, it can come to complaints and fines. They could even be expelled from your home or apartment. Your neighbors will certainly disapprove of your dog's excessive noise. You know that all dogs bark in the world because he is in his nature. But why do some dogs bark excessively at all? Well, this question has several answers.
In fact, dogs bark excessively for many reasons. For example, a dog can be very boring. Then he barks to relieve his boredom. He has no choice. This usually happens when it often goes unaccompanied.
This also happens when his owner spends a very short time with him. Then dog-bark problems can also be caused by anxiety and separation anxiety. Dogs, which are often neglected, are very prone to separation anxiety, and dogs that are normally exposed to a discouraging environment are more likely to be affected by stress. These dogs need to be taken care of immediately, otherwise they may develop low self esteem, emotional depression or phobias.
However, your dog companion may also have difficulty barking a dog if it is not properly trained. Remember that a lack of proper training can also have more serious consequences. If you do not use the right training methods, your dog will become unruly.

And he will not stop barking until the factor disappears. In fact, the dog is of the opinion that his owner's house is his territory and that the arrival of the factor is a gesture of intrusion. If your dog behaves the same way, you must immediately take control of the situation.
Avoid your dog seeing the postman or training with reliable techniques. However, you must also remember that dog training must be accompanied by a change in lifestyle. It's really important.

The chewing or pinching is a normal behavior of the puppy. Watch two dogs play and interact with mouth and teeth and play with each other. It's called mouth to mouth when a puppy gnaws or lays its mouth around your hand or another part of you. Biting is when a puppy attracts attention and wants to bite someone in a fun way. Neither the mouth nor the bites are aggressive behaviors, and your puppy can be easily trained to stop.
If you correct these two behaviors, all household members should follow these guidelines as they may not work or function well. Dogs do not understand "maybe" or "sometimes". They need to know that their behavior is unacceptable to all.
Remember, dogs have twice as many teeth as humans and a ten times stronger biting ability. Therefore, it is important that a small irritating and nagging behavior does not turn into an insulting bite when your puppy grows up. If you allow it, your puppy will think that you accept its behavior. If you later try to correct it, you will feel more confused and it will be much harder to stop it.
Put your hand in a fist and give it to your puppy. If you go to your mouth or put your teeth in your hand; Grunt with a hoarse and deep voice or scream out loud and quickly remove your hand. Repeat this process until your puppy licks his hand or pulls his head. If he does, praise him with kind words and soft voice. You have to repeat this every day or two for a week or two, and remember that everyone in the house has to do this when the puppy tries to talk about it. With all your training, the time is running out. Once your puppy opens his mouth, he must act and act quickly. Always give your puppy the opportunity to correct one's behavior and behave well.

Pinching can hurt people whose skin is much thinner and smoother than that of dogs. Puppies that can pinch can also cause holes and cracks in clothing and be expensive to repair or replace. Again, time is crucial. Once your puppy tries to pinch, you must act and act quickly. Most puppies try to pinch people when walking or running. If this is the case, stay calm and give your puppy a toy or a ball to play with. If it's good to sit down, let him sit down and call him to pat him off. If he insults you or bites you again, a strong "no" and a stroke will stop you.
It is important that you point out your puppy's behavior that he knows and that he will win a reward or gift. By preventing the puppy from saying or pinching something, you only do part of the training. If you are worth doing something else for which you are rewarded, learn faster and have more confidence than a competent group leader. With every good workout, time is crucial. Once your puppy opens his mouth, he must act and act quickly.
Remember, always give your puppy the opportunity to correct one's behavior and behave well. It is up to you to teach him what is acceptable and what is not. Reward Acceptable Behavior Prevent unacceptable behavior by making loud and loud noises, being careful, treating or leaving your puppy alone. Never beat or hit your puppy. He will only teach him that violence in his backpack is acceptable and that he can apply it to other pack members or friends, including children.

Tips on belt training
When you train with the leash, you do not really need to tie the leash around your golden and pull the puppy in the direction your dog wishes. This is not the way to train your puppy on a leash and usually sends the wrong message to your puppy. Instead, it's best if your golden puppy first gets used to the linen collar.

After a while, hold the leash and call your dog. Whenever your Golden Retriever approaches you, let them know that they are doing something good by congratulating you or rewarding your dog for treats. Be patient when training your dog on a leash, as the dog needs time to get used to it.
Excessive excavation tips
This is something your dog likes to do and that is natural to your Golden Retriever. This can be frustrating if there is no room for you to dig. Otherwise it can be used anywhere and create holes in your yard. You can even dig in your bed, sofa or floor at home.

Put a toy or a dog treat in the cat litter box so that your golden puppy starts digging and picking up the toys or sweets. If your dog is familiar with the area in which you want to dig, it is natural to go there if you feel like digging.

One of the most important skills dogs can learn is to come to you when they call you. All dog owners would never put their dogs in dangerous situations. The command "come" is very useful to prevent your dog from following deer, a collision between dogs and other potential dangers. After training, you can give your dog the freedom to hike, play in the park or walk around because he can certainly call you back.
To facilitate training, you must convince your dog that you are more comfortable than the short-term freedom. Rewards must be awarded at all times and training must be short. However, it can sometimes be difficult to teach a dog to come when called, as most dogs find that they can not be left behind and that escaping is more fun than quietly walking by their side. If possible, your dog should never be released until evidence of reliability comes into play.
When and how to reward
Dogs must be rewarded at all times for moving in the right way, for the fullest action and for the best efforts. He can give rewards like food, toys, games and praise. As long as your dog wants this particular thing, this can be considered as a reward.
Name recognition
For your dog to recognize your name, you can keep a reward between your dog's field of vision and yours. Then I gave his name and he rewarded the moment when he looked at you.
It comes when it says
For your dog to come to you when he calls, you can show a candy or a toy and then walk a few steps further. Say your name and say the word "come" in a happy voice as you smile and gesticulate. As your dog approaches you, hold the collar and you can play with it or give it to him. Gradually increase the distance between your dog and you until you call from one room to another or enter and leave the house and arrive immediately. Never call your dog if you yell or punish him, as this could have a negative impact on the training. Always try to make learning enjoyable and enjoyable. Your dog will be more responsive to training if the training is fun.
These are some of the most important things to learn train your dog come when called. If you want to train your dog successfully, you must always be patient and persistent.
In many cases, dogs bark when they have nothing else to do. When dogs feel inattentive, they can act badly and misbehave. Often we want them to behave, so instead of being stuck with them we tend to give them and give what they want. This teaches them that this behavior gives them the attention they want. It is important that we learn the right way to teach these behaviors and the right way to teach our dog that is unacceptable.
The first thing your dog should learn is that when he barks his owner's attention, it is unacceptable. Some dogs think that even if you're angry, irritated and start crying, it's better than no attention. But that's not the way to train them, it's not what you want. You have to say what you want to say and reinforce this action with something you do not like.
If you tell him to be "calm" and strengthen it with a jet of water, this action is called negative reinforcement, the dog learns to associate words with actions. So, if you do, you would expect that word to follow an action that you do not like, or that's not barking anymore. Later you learn to keep silent yourself; In that case, you can congratulate him for being informed that the silent action was acceptable.
However, if you do not find that your dogs are accompanied by a growl bark and bite, you may not want to compromise or use negative reinforcement, but you should consult a specialist or your veterinarian.
When people go to work or go to dinner and leave the dog, the dog often barks. However, to minimize this you need to make sure that you have everything you need when you leave. Make sure you have food, water and a place to rest, make sure not to let others see how they can inspire you.
Another way to stop barking is to hire the dog to stop if you have not done anything to earn it. If you teach him something, but praise him for everything, this activity means very little. He knows that you will still congratulate him. When he did what you said, just give him a pat and let him know, think he is a "good dog", but do not exaggerate the compliments. This teaches you to earn the compliment you need to do more than the activity for which you rented.
You also want her to have some fun when he's going to give food, chew toys, and make sure that others can not see it in your absence. Use negative and positive reinforcement for your dog, starting with the negative. If he then learned and did the activity, he can still praise the activity.
These are some of the most important things to learn stop your dog aggression . If you want to train your dog successfully, you must always be patient and persistent.
It's nice to see a puppy jumping and playing, but the truth is that as your dog ages, this behavior becomes rude, upset and unfit for you and your guests. Although they are cute, small and harmless, your dog will soon become a normal sized animal that can easily rip or ruin an outfit and jump over a small child or an elderly person to hit it or hurt it.
That's why it's important that you teach your puppy as soon as possible, so he quickly realizes that jumping on a person is not the right answer when he sees someone.
Before you begin to discipline your dog, remember that jumping is very natural for him, and especially that puppies are "rewarded" for attracting attention while jumping. In nature, they jump in the face of the mother to attract attention or encourage her to feed her. Therefore, one of the fastest ways to train your puppy so that the jump does not bring anything positive to him is simply to ignore his behavior. Stay away from them when they jump and take a few steps. Wait a moment before the interaction so that they do not associate the interaction with your jumps or beggars.
Do not make eye contact, do not speak and do not touch your dog when jumping on you. All this can be felt as affection. Wait until your pupy calms down before interacting with it. If your puppy can not calm down after five minutes, isolate him by leaving the room or leading him to his paddock and then pulling away. Wait until they are quiet before releasing them again.
It can be difficult for you to raise your puppy for its beauty, but it does you a disservice if you do not work with them when they are young. If you wait for them to get bigger, this behavior will only get worse. Right now it's a great way to grab your attention. Soon they become more demanding and dominant.
Now the training is based on constancy. You can follow the steps above to prevent your puppy from jumping on you and your family. However, take a few minutes and ask your guests to react accordingly when they see your puppy. Tell them you can pet your puppy, but that you train them. Often you need to add the last sentence to emphasize that this is an active effort that requires your participation. Usually the mere mention that the puppy can jump on it leads to a "Oh, I do not care!" This can ruin all your training efforts.
These are some of the most important things to learn obedience training your dog. If you want to train your dog successfully, you must always be patient and persistent.
