Obedience training class

Dogs are amazing animals that can be trained to do all kinds of things. From hunting to sniffing out controlled substances, tracking people and animals, and serving as a blind person’s eyes, these intelligent and loyal creatures can learn a lot. Of course, when it comes to your puppy, you’d really just be happy if he was housebroken, didn’t chew things and did what you told him to, right?

Handing your pet over to someone else to train is a good way to ensure it’s done the right way and he doesn’t pick up any bad habits. The results can be quick and impressive, and you will also learn how to carry on this training at home.

However, you need to be sure that you are comfortable with the training school’s methods and approaches before you enroll your pet. The best thing to do is to visit and watch a class without your dog, and see how you feel about what takes place in the session. Here are four things to look out for when choosing a dog obedience training school:

1. Is Everyone Happy?

This doesn’t just mean the canines. Of course, training should be enjoyable for the students, so if the dogs seem to be having a bit of fun, that is a very good sign — but also look at your fellow pet owners. Are they participating much? Have people been encouraged to bring their children along to get involved with the training process?

2. How Are They Training the Animals?

Look at the tools and methods the trainers are using and teaching. Red flags that this is not a good place for your dog include the use of things like electronic collars or choke chains. The best way to train a dog is with praise and small rewards. If the trainers are in any way physical when berating a dog — for example, pulling on the leash or hitting him — look for another school.

If the teachers at your child’s school were choking or smacking him or her, you would have the teacher out of there in a flash, and it should be no different for your puppy while he’s learning dog obedience.

3. Are There Enough Professional Trainers?

To get good value for money out of your sessions, you are going to want to look at how much attention and time your pet is going to get. One trainer dealing with 20 dogs and families is not going to give you optimal attention. There should be at least one professional there for every six dogs in the class.

4. Is It a Nice Environment?

Have a look around. Is there enough space? Is it hygienic, or does it smell like a million wet dogs? Is there a lot of clutter that might distract your dog? Also, is the space well secured, with any gates latched and all doors closed? The last thing you want is for your dog to make a break for it if he’s not enjoying his lesson.

By taking care and checking out a few different obedience schools or training providers, you should be able to find one that will give you the results you want, as well as providing a fun activity for your family and a great bonding experience for you and your new pet, in a safe and healthy environment.

Do you know the difference between dog trainers and behaviorists?

Most people think that when they are having problems with the canines  they should immediately call a professional dog trainer. Not all problems require retraining your pet. Often, pet owners will spend gobs of money trying to get their pups to behave in the fashion that they desire only to find out that they really should have sought the assistance of a professional canine behaviorist.

Before contracting with any animal professional you should understand exactly what each one does to help dogs. Here’s the difference between dog trainers and behaviorists:

Trainers = Teachers

Professional dog trainers perform an important service. Everybody wants to have a beautifully behaved pup by their side as opposed to a monster mutt that cannot behave properly. A dog trainer can help teach your pooch to be the perfect companion.

Not all trainers provide the same type of service. Some train in basic manners such as sit, down, stay, come, go to your space and walk nicely on a leash. There are other canine educators who work to teach dogs not to jump, dig in the trash bin or lounge on the couch or beds. Still others perform more advanced training such as scent discrimination, protection training, complete off-leash commands or even search and rescue training.

Before you contact a dog trainer, know what you expect him or her to do for you. If you are simply looking for someone to teach your doggie to sit and come called, almost any professional dog trainer can help. It’s best to thoroughly discuss your needs before entering into a training contract. This will ensure that there is a complete meeting of the minds and each person knows exactly what is expected of him or her.

Behaviorists Make for Better Behaved Buddies

More and more people are beginning to seek out the help of animal behaviorists. Problematic pups can be difficult to live with, and in all honesty they aren’t very happy pooches. A skilled behaviorist can help transform your mutt from a monster into the perfect pooch.

Dogs that have been experiencing emotional problems can lash out in a variety of ways. A behaviorist will first do a complete evaluation before creating a plan for helping your pet overcome his issues. You will definitely be an integral part of the transformation.

Because of indiscriminant backyard breeders, puppy mills and people who breed canines for fighting purposes, behavior problems within the dog world have increased tremendously. Puppies that lacked proper socialization and human interaction when they were little tend to grow up to be unstable adults. Living with a pet that cannot be approached by anyone besides its owner must get help quickly. These puppies tend to eventually become fear biters or very aggressive.

Destructive dogs can benefit from a professional behaviorist. There isn’t a pet in the world that truly wants to do things to annoy the heck out of their owners. An experienced behaviorist can help you find out why your pooch is destroying your home. Most of the time, dogs become destructive because they are bored when they are left alone; however, some dogs suffer from separation anxiety and the only thing that soothes them is to chew on your things.

The behaviorist will be able to make your dog realize that you will always come back home or show you how to keep your pup busy when you are away from home.

Almost all pet owners want to impress their friends and family with cool tricks that their dogs can perform. The perfect pooch will perform them and appear to be happy doing so while her inner puppy is probably rolling her eyes and pondering why you have to make her act so silly.

Regardless of what is going through your pup’s head, you can train her to perform the “shoot the dog dead” trick. In this article, I’ll show you how.

Train Your Dog to Play Dead (“Bang!”)

Before you can begin to teach your best friend to do the “shoot the dog dead” trick, your dog must have some level of obedience training. At the very least, she will need to obey the down command (in other words, she lies down on command), but the trick will work better if she will also obey the stay command. Ensure that she is reliable on the down command before even attempting to teach her the shooting trick. It would be wise to practice down/stay often so she will follow through every time you give her the command.

Here’s How to Do It

1. Let’s start with the side roll. This one is simple. Put her on a down stay. Once she is in the proper position, lying on the floor, roll your pooch gently onto her side and give her the stay command. You might need to hold her down for a few seconds so that she gets the idea. Once you release her, give a tasty treat and plenty of praise. Practice this initial step in short, two- or three-minute sessions a few times a day. Dogs do well when their training is consistent.
2. When your pet gets good at that part, it’s time to add a verbal cue. Choose which word suits you best for the trick. I would suggest “Bang!” “Pow!” or “Boom!” There are more creative pet owners who practice making the sound of a machine gun for the trick. The sound is completely up to you; just be consistent with the wording as your dog will respond only to that sound.
3. When your dog gets that hang of the verbal cue, add a visual cue to the mix: Make a shooting signal with your right index finger and thumb and quickly say your command word.

Your pup will probably become reliable on the “shoot your dog dead” trick within two weeks of proper training. Practice regularly if you expect your pet to be ready to perform on a moment’s notice.

Standing “Shoot Your Dog Dead” Trick

This one is a bit harder to master. First, teach the dog to reliably perform a stand stay. Practice until she stays still while standing until you release her from the command. Once she can handle this, you can move on.

Next, give the “Bang!” “Pow!” “Boom!” or machine gun sound. Then tell the dog “down.” (If she already knows the side roll, she will probably think that you forgot to tell her to go down and will simply roll onto her side.) Take the time to practice with your pet, and both of you will amaze your family and friends.

Written by Roseann Lahey Copyright 2012, Pets Adviser® pet advice.

Last summer, my nephew Evan was visiting me for a few days. Loving the outdoors, he spent a great deal of time running and playing with my pit bull, Bunker.

I would watch them from inside, hearing Evan saying, “Sit,” “Roll over” and “Fetch.” Each time Evan spoke one of these words, Bunker would do whatever the kid told him to do. Eventually, Evan would tire out (usually before Bunker did) and come back inside. One day Evan asked me, “Aunt Gayle, how many words can a dog understand?” What a good question for a child to ask!

Not that I’m bragging, but Bunker is a very intelligent dog. Most dog owners boast about their dog’s smartness, and research supports that theory.

How Many Words Can a Dog Understand?

Since the 1970s, when it was confirmed that chimpanzees can be trained to use and read words in sign language, we have known that language is not unique to humans. After all, parrots can be trained to talk and my chihuahua certainly understands when I say the words “Want to go…” Most of the time she beats me to the door.

Stanley Coren, a psychologist and an expert on dog intelligence, says the average trained dog knows about 165 words. (And most dogs can count to four or five — which, Dr. Coren admits, wouldn’t exactly make a very good accountant.) The smartest dogs (top 20%) have a vocabulary of around 250 words, on a par with a 2½-year-old child, he says.

Not every breed was created equally in the brains department:

• The smartest dogs, he says: the border collie, poodles and German shepherds.
• The not-so-smart: borzois, chow chows and bulldogs.
• And what is the dumbest dog breed, according to the doc? Sorry, owners of Afghan hounds, but your dog won’t be winning the spelling bee.

For more on this, see Coren’s entry in “Additional Resources” below.

How to Teach Your Dog New Words

Most pups know the basic “doggie” words (sit, stay, fetch), but your pet is capable of increasing his vocabulary and knowledge of words with your motivation and patience in teaching him new words.

To help your pet learn more words, acknowledge his achievements when he does what he is told to do. The same way in which we teach our children words will work well with our dogs too. Showing him a ball while saying the word “ball” allows him to associate the two together. Also, for good results, always say your dog’s name first, then the word you are trying to teach him. For example, when Bunker is out for playtime, all I have to do is say, “Bunker, pen!” and he heads straight to his dog pen.

Tone of Voice, Body Language

Knowing a word and actually understanding the language — well, that’s a different matter. While dogs appear to comprehend our language, could it be that they are simply reacting to our signals or tone of voice?

Studies show that dogs pick up on human gestures and cues better than most animals (even great apes). A dog trainer will swear to you that it’s much easier to teach dogs a desired behavior by using hand signals than by speaking words. Why? Because dogs are so good at reading our (nonverbal) body language.

So, to answer Evan’s question, “How many words can a dog understand?” suffice it to say that they know roughly 165 words. Do they actually understand the words? It’s not clear. But we do know — without a doubt — that all of our canine friends have an amazing way of understanding us.

How to walk a chihuahua on a leash?

It is important for every owner to know how to teach a chihuahua to walk on a leash.

In most areas, there are laws requiring all pets to be curbed when outside of a fenced area. A well-behaved pooch strolling down the street with her master is far safer than the animal allowed to run loose: a pet that is kept restricted is less likely to become lost or killed by a passing vehicle.

Your chihuahua will need to get accustomed to wearing a collar and leash. Be sure that you are using lightweight equipment.

For the first few days, attach the leash to the collar and let the puppy get used to the feel of it. Do not leave it on for longer than five minutes at a time. Never let your pup out of your sight while it is tethered. Some chihuahuas are afraid of the leash and will stay motionless until it is removed. Continue to use the five-minute trick until she becomes familiar with this strange new object.

Chihuahua Leash Training

After your doggie has become acclimated to the leash, it’s time to start chihuahua leash training! Attach the dog leash as you did before, but do not put it on the ground. Hold it and begin to walk across the room. If the pup follows you, great! If the chihuahua refuses to move, however, coax her over to you. Use a gentle voice and say, “Come here, baby.”

Keep encouraging her until she will walk to you. Do not let go of the leash. She needs to understand that this is the next part of the lesson. If you must, use a small pet treat to encourage her to oblige your wishes.

Keep Practicing

Keep the leash taut but not tight. Try walking your pet on your left side — your doggie should always be on your left. Because the restraint is not loose, the puppy will soon learn that she is to stay close to your side. Practice walking in an area with minimal distractions to help enhance her lesson. Take a few short learning walks daily. Once your chihuahua has mastered walking on a leash in private, it will be time to take her out into the public.

Need More Chihuahua Training Tips?

By the way, we recommend the very handy book Chihuahuas for Dummies. It’s a one-stop guide for raising and caring for one of these cute little pups. This “chihuahua bible” not only covers leash training and common behavior problems, but it also explores fun tricks too. We found the book recently on Amazon.com for less than $9. (Find out more.)

So anyway… Congrats! You should have the confidence to safely walk your canine companion anywhere now that you have learned how to teach a chihuahua to walk on a leash.

There are so many cool tricks to teach your dog. The most important thing is that you have first taught your pooch the basics. By the basics I mean Sit, Down, Stay, Come and Heel. Without a basic education in canine obedience training, your dog cannot learn to perform the coolest tricks.

So now we start by training your dog to fetch a beer from the fridge. OK… just kidding. Let’s back up a couple of steps first!

Coolest Tricks to Teach Your Dog

OPEN THE FRIDGE. The Pull command is not only an awesome dog trick but helpful too. Let’s say that you are trying to put leftovers away into the refrigerator. Your hands are full of plates and bowls. How do you open the door? You don’t need to, because poochie knows the Pull command.

Pull is a simple cool trick to teach your dog. Just put a little bit of tuna oil on the end of a rope toy. Now get the puppy interested, and when he grabs the end say, “Pull.” This is not tug of war; he needs to pull and you need to allow him to do so.

After about a week of play, attach the rope toy to the refrigerator door. Show the pup the rope and command “Pull!” He should be able to open the door for you. Keep practicing this.

NOW CLOSE THAT FRIDGE. Now that your dog knows how to open the refrigerator door for you, he will need to learn to close it too. There is an easy way to teach the “Shut It” command as well.

Small, square pet treats are perfect for this cool dog trick. I would suggest Good Bites or similar. You will need to place a piece of double-faced tape of the front of the fridge. Attach one of the doggie treats. Once the door has been opened, show the pup the treat and say, “Shut it!” Encourage him to reach for the reward. Once he does, the door will close and he will be able to take the treat off the door.

Patience Is Key

Both the Pull and Shut It commands do take some time to perfect. Training with your four-legged friend daily will help make him reliable with these commands. Be patient and he will eventually get it. When he does, think of how proud you will be when you have friends over and this dog opens and closes the refrigerator on command!

These canine commands can also be used to open and close any other doors. These somewhat basic tricks are also the basics for teaching your dog to fetch a drink from the refrigerator — a mind-blowing stunt for you couch potato types!

The possibilities for coolest tricks to teach your dog are endless. Training your dog to fetch you a beer would be an amazing feat. Getting your dog to make you a sandwich, however — not so much.

How to teach a Yorkie to roll over?

It is not very difficult to learn how to teach a Yorkie to roll over. But it will take time and consistency to attain this goal. The effort will be well worth it once your puppy has mastered the trick. Most little dogs love the attention they get from doing parlor tricks. Your friends will be delighted to see your Yorkie entertaining them.

Before training your pet to roll over, he must have mastered the “Down” command. Without being obedient on “Down,” Yorkie training on “Roll Over” is futile. Be sure your doggie is reliable on the command to lie down.

Training Method 1

Sit down on the floor. Call your pup to come to you. Put your Yorkie in the down position. Use a pet treat to entice him to lie on his side. With your left hand, gently roll him while at the same time saying the command “Roll Over.” If he is able to roll over, praise him and give him the treat. Practice this 10 times in each session. Two or three dog training sessions daily are recommended until the trick has been mastered.

Training Method 2

This method works perfectly for the pup that loves to have his belly rubbed. Again, start by sitting on the floor. Encourage your Yorkie to lie down next to you. Rub his tummy for a little while and then gently push him to the opposite side and say “Roll Over.” Once he rolls over, give him a ton of praise and a tasty treat. This process of training can be done often as the dog likes to have his stomach petted; and after the petting, he gets a quick lesson. Most Yorkshire terrier owners use this procedure to teach the “Roll Over” trick.

One Word of Caution

Whichever method you use, be sure that you push the pup over very gently! The push is merely to encourage the Yorkie to roll over. It is not meant to actually push the pooch over. Forcing can cause spine and back injuries as well as trauma to its legs. Never be forceful while training a canine to do any trick.

Now that you know how to teach a Yorkie to roll over, your little four-legged friend will be able to amaze and entertain your friends and family. The roll over trick is a prerequisite for other tricks, including teaching a Yorkie to play dead. With commitment and continuity, your Yorkshire terrier will be a hit with everyone.

How to use dog correction spray?

Dog correction sprays are very easy to use, considering they are usually in collar form and have a remote for the owner’s use. They have been found to be quite effective in correcting unwanted behavior. Used properly, these canine spray collars are harmless; however, the scent is offensive to the dog’s senses.

It is pertinent that the correction of an undesired behavior be immediate and only be done while that behavior is happening.

The training spray must also be accompanied with a verbal command such as “Off!” or “No!” The correction should be used with the verbal command, or the dog will not associate the verbiage with the unpleasant spray.

As an example, a pet owner makes himself a roast beef sandwich for lunch and leaves it on the counter to answer the phone. He is on the phone for about three minutes. He goes back into the kitchen only to find the empty dish and his puppy with mayonnaise on his jowls. A correction would not be appropriate. Had he caught the doggie on the counter stealing the sandwich, a correction would be warranted and understood by the pet.

The owner must be consistent with the behavior correction of the dog. Without consistency, the animal will become confused about what is expected of him. For instance, your pup jumps onto the couch and you activate the collar so the dog gets sprayed. He moves from the couch and lies down. The next time he approaches the couch, you allow him to jump up on it. The dog is being sent mixed signals and does not understand which behavior is acceptable. Consistency is the key to all training as well as correcting the unwanted behavior.

Never use the canine correction spray after you have found that the dog misbehaved. It must only be used while the dog is in the act of the behavior that needs correcting. For example, you come in from a jog only to find the trash ripped to shreds and dragged throughout the house. The puppy is napping in his bed. Do not use the spray, because the dog would then think that sleeping in his bed is a bad thing. Our pets do not have the ability to understand that they are being punished for what they did an hour ago. It just is not there.

The key to successfully knowing how to use dog corrective spray is consistency and reinforcement. Always remember to reward your pet for good behavior and not only to correct for unwanted behavior.

Weirdest dog tricks: skateboard training

There are some really odd dog tricks out there. Those pets that can do the weirdest dog tricks on command are often cast for commercials and movies. So if you think your pup is destined to become the next Lassie or Benji, you might want to teach some of these weird tricks.

Train Your Dog to Ride Skateboard

Have you ever seen a dog skateboarding on television? Believe it or not, it isn’t terribly difficult to train your dog to ride a skateboard. First, introduce her to the board. Let her watch as you ride back and forth. As long as your dog isn’t afraid, pick her up and place her on the board. Offer praise and a treat. Do this for a few days so that your puppy becomes accustomed to the skateboard.

Next, you need to start rolling the board while your puppy is standing on it. Keep reassuring her and give treats for staying on the board. A couple of days practicing this movement will help make her steady on the board.

Once your canine is on the board again, begin moving the skateboard forward by pushing it with her right rear paw. This will make the pet uneasy at first, but reassure her and give treats. Continue to work on having her propel the board. Eventually you will need to let go and allow her to ride alone.

Teaching a dog to ride a skateboard is an advanced trick. Be sure your pup knows all basic commands before attempting it.

Weird Laundry Dog Trick

The next trick is perfect for the owner that also has a sloppy spouse and messy children. If your family is too lazy to pick up their dirty clothes, you need to teach your dog to pick up the laundry! I was constantly searching for laundry, especially those mischievous socks that hide under the beds, until I taught my canine crew to do the job.

Weirdest dog tricks: go fetch the laundry

Bring your pet a laundry basket and a few pieces of dirty laundry into a small room. Put one article of clothing on the floor, and in a play-type of voice say “Get the laundry.” Repeat the command as you would if you were playing fetch. Grab the clothing and get the pooch to take it. Once she takes it, coax her to the basket. Remove the laundry from her mouth and put it in the basket. Now praise and give her a treat. Keep repeating this process until your baby automatically gets the laundry from the floor and puts it into the basket. Eventually she will pick up all the clothes.

This laundry gambit is definitely one of the weirdest dog tricks we’ve encountered. Once your pup is properly trained, when you leave the laundry basket out at night you will discover a magically full basket in the morning thanks to a truly odd dog trick.

Now It’s Your Turn…

OK, we’ve shared two of the weirdest dog tricks we’ve seen. What are the silliest ones you’ve heard of? Tell us all about ‘em, using the comment form below….

Many owners opt not to teach their dogs to use the bathroom outdoors. The method of chihuahua wee wee pad training suits their lifestyle better. They do not need to walk the dog. Pee pads are especially lauded by apartment dwellers and condo owners. For people without back yards, these training papers are a perfect solution.

Still others do not like to bring their chihuahuas outdoors in inclement weather conditions for fear that they will get a chill. These are all viable reasons for using wee wee pads.

Housebreaking pads are made of absorbent paper. The bottom is lined with leak-proof plastic. The plastic protects carpets from becoming urine soaked, hence preventing dog pee stains and odors. They are very similar to the consistency of a baby’s diaper. The pads have a scent that entices the puppy to go potty there.

Chihuahua Wee Wee Pad Training Tips

Decide on a spot that you want your chihuahua to use to go to the bathroom. This should never be close to a bedding area. Be sure that this is where you want him to go. Once decided, you should always place the chihuahua’s wee wee pads in the same spot. Changing the bathroom area will result in accidents. Place the house-training pad in a permanent spot.

As soon as your pup eats or drinks, place him on the pee pad. If he walks away from the spot, place him back there until he pees or poops. When he wakes up, put him on the pad. Watch carefully as he plays; exercise also aids in elimination. If your chihuahua begins to sniff around or squat, bring him back to the wee wee pad.

Stress-Free Housebreaking Possible

Should your little canine friend have an accident, soak up the urine with paper towels. Place the towels on the wee wee pads for a few minutes, allowing the urine to seek into the pad. This will give the pad your doggie’s scent and encourage him to go there again. If he goes potty in an inappropriate area, pick up the poop and place it on the pad. Leave it there for a bit so the pad gets the odor absorbed into it. Then remove the turd. This will help your puppy understand that the bathroom training pads are the place for him to do his business.

Be consistent and gentle for proper chihuahua wee wee pad training. Always praise your pet when he goes in the right spot. Using this method, relatively stress-free housebreaking is possible.

Dog Whisperer tips on barking

Over the past few years, mega-celebrity animal “rehabilitator” Cesar Millan, aka “the Dog Whisperer,” has offered a number of easy tips to control barking. While it is natural for your puppy to bark from time to time, nuisance barking is a big problem, and you should stop this bad behavior right away.

Here is a quick one-two-punch dog whisperer tip on barking, straight from Millan himself. No need for anti-bark collars or a shock collar or such thing like that.

Dog Whisperer Tips on Barking

1. With a stern look or clap of the hand, tell your pup to stop barking now. Do not go back to what you were doing until your pet seems to have completely submitted to you.

2. Take a deep breath, cool off, and remain calm. Canines don’t follow unhinged leaders. If you’re frustrated, so will your pet be.

Now that the moment has passed, think about how you can prevent dog barking in the future. Challenge and stimulate your pet by lacing your daily walks with a steep incline. Ride a bike while your pup trails along beside you. Believe it or not, this exercise will help release pent-up energy and eliminate nuisance barking before it ever begins. Woof!

As Cesar Millan says, when you try out these quick dog whisperer tips “with 100 percent dedication and focus…the results may surprise you.”
