I just wanted to create a fun thread to know what sort of commands your pups know! I figured this could also give new ideas of what else I can teach my dog :) Mine knows the basic commands: sit, stay, come, ok, lay down, shake, drop it/leave it Fun/more advanced ones: - Roll over - Where is...

My puppy doesn't have an interest in treats. I have tried bacon, beef, and chicken. He just sniffs the treat and then looks at me. I find this odd because he is half German Shepherd, which are known to be food hounds. So without the use of treats I am in need of guidance on how to train him...

I have decided to start implementing the "Nothing in Life is Free" or make the dog work to earn it approach in my training. For example, I will have my dog do a down or some other obedience behavior before I feed him breakfast or dinner and I will do the same thing before we leave the house...

We have a 14 week old mini aussie pup. I have done tons of reading and researching into training these types of dogs, and nothing I've done has worked! He will not sit/lay/stop/down unless he WANTS to. The only thing he knows is his name (hah). He pulls on his leash, won't come when we call him...

Hi again everyone, I posted a month or so back regarding what type of puppy to get :) Here's an update! First off, I know a LOT of people said not to get a mal mix and instead to get a poodle...take note I DID take your advice into consideration but everyone has different tastes and mine just...

So I have been doing a ton of researching figuring out what kind of training is necessary for a puppy. Im finding out which command should be taught first, like you are supposed to teach your puppy the sit command before you train your puppy to stay. They say to do it this way because when you...

We have a one and a half year old chocolate lab. She seems to pick up on new commands very quickly. But when it comes to giving her a command outside of training sessions she seems to be guessing. I might say "beg" and she will sit, then lay down, then try to shake my hand, then finally beg. It...

My dog is a little over a year old. He is a white boxer/pit bull. He loves to play, however if I let him outside without a leash he runs away and thinks it's a game when I try to catch him. He's very quick so no matter how fast I go he is always faster! I cannot figure out how to keep him in the...

So, I have a question about behavior of our female, 2 y.o. American Bulldog "Joy". We adopted her over 4 weeks ago, she was found abandoned near shelter with many little wounds, she was also REALLY scared of men even when they were 5 meters away from her (still scared of unknown, older men). She...

We have a coton de tulear a little over a year old and she is our family's first dog. (She's a small dog.) She has trouble responding to most commands when she's preoccupied and rarely responds to come unless we have a treat and she isn't doing anything else. She has never come back to us on...

got bought a 3 month old cockapoo 4 days ago and he just lays there on the bed i bought him. He doesn't come when i call him, can't be enticed by treats (even hotdog bites!) and just looks confused and scared half the time. if i take him outside, he just wimpers and tries to go back inside to...

I've been working on clicker training my three month Aussie at home (she starts working with our trainer after her original puppy consultation in a few weeks) and she's catching on to everything super quick. At this point, she can sit, shake, lay down, put her head down, come and wait for a...

I have two 13 and 1/2 week old Papillon puppies and they are already showing signs of being so smart. This is the first time I have owned a Papillon, as I am used to Golden Retrievers. I am wondering at what age is it appropriate to start teaching them tricks like sit, shake a paw, etc. I'm not...

My wife and I have a 7-month old shiba inu who's pretty sharp - he learned all the basic commands (sit, down, stand, stay, come) in a short period of time and without any problems. Unfortunately, as he's gotten a little older he's decided that he DOES NOT want anyone touching him during...

joey is now 12 weeks old and has learned a number of commands (sit, down, shake, rollover). he has recently started whining sometimes when given commands during training time. when i say down he'll start a little whine while looking at me and slowly get into the down position. he's always...
