training

Hi all, so nice to see all your answers in the different topics. Really love to follow along the posts :) My dog Fanny have a bad habit. Every time we come home or have visitors she always start to jump up on us. Anyone with the same problem and knows what to do ?

My dog is an 8 month dog old golden retriever and he will only poop in a certain place a certain way far from my apartment. He will only go poop if he is off leash and in the complex dog park. I want him to be able to go wherever outside or at least on command. How do I get him out of the habit...

We're trying to crate train this puppy. He learned the word "bed" just this morning. So whenever we say "bed," he goes inside his crate and then we give him snacks there. He's not really scared inside or anything. Although sometimes, when we close the door, he'd cry after five minutes. Maybe for...

I know it sounds like a silly question. It's his behavior that I have been observing since yesterday. So, my puppy, Milo was brought to our home just yesterday. He seems like a very smart pup. He makes poo and pee accidents on the tiled floor sometimes, but most of the time, he poops and pees...

I have had this dog since she was 9 weeks old. She was raised on a farm with little social interactions. Her parents were a Great Dane black lab and a purebred greater Swiss mountain dog. I had walked her 3 times a day for the first day 6 months and lived a 5 minute walk from a dog park that she...

Hello All, I am new to the forum here and I am looking for help really bad, I have an 8 month old German Shepard/Pitbull/Rottweiler puppy. I have had here since the end of December and things have gone south. Ever since she has starter teething she has been chewing up all her toys that we get...

I found this forum on Google when searching for behavioral issues of Papillons. I have a 9 month old male Papillon neutered. I believe that I may spoil him, but am not sure. BamBam is increasingly aggressive toward my 3 cats. He nips at them, chases them and will even scrap with them. He also...

Hello! I'm currently having some issues finding good snacks to give my dog when we're training. Yesterday we were working on our recall at the dog park, and I remembered back when we did puppy classes we were told things like cheese and hot dogs were good training treats. He can be difficult to...

I believe there is a tiny bit of mostly forgotten research about so-called "Cocker Rage Syndrome" in cocker spaniels and other breeds, or Sudden Onset Aggression, a possibly seizure-related or disorder, which has been most extensively researched by Dr Ilana Reisner. Her work traces this form of...

Hello my name is Matthew. I have a 4 year old border collie Aussie cattle dog mix. I adopted him about a year and a half ago. He has always been a fearful dog but he seems to do ok when we go to dog park. He freaks out over loud noises like the trash can moving or lawn movers or just anything...

Hi there! I'm new. We have always rescued dogs, most have been older. Now that we have kids, we decided to get a puppy. We've had dogs and cats all my life. :) So why am I here? Well...the puppy. She's 4 months old. We've never had a dog like this one. She is a "potcake," a rescue from Puerto...

Hello everyone! I have a one year old beagle mix named Finn, and he's a very stubborn guy. He gets commands somewhat quickly when I teach them to him, but tends to pick and choose when he wants to respond (even though I don't reward him until he does them completely). My biggest concern right...

I wanted to incorporate a clicker into my dog's training. I gave him his favorite training treat while I used the clicker to get him use to it and the fact that it meant good things but after just a few times he started to turn his head and not take the treat (I was clicking it as he took the...

Hello everyone, I have a 11 year old mountain feist (similar to a jack russell) and a 6 year old blue pit. I got both of them when they were about 6 weeks old. The pit gets along with the feist, probably because the feist was 5 when the pit was a puppy so he grew up with him. My brother has...

Little backstory... We have two puppies, an Australian Shepard (Stella) that is almost 6 months and a German Shorthaired Pointer (Bandit) that is almost 11 weeks. We got Stella at 8 weeks and we introduced her to the crate and there was maybe 4 or 5 days of crying (and barking) and then maybe...

Sorry so long want to put as much detail as possible: We had a lot of people at our house for an extended period of time for a family gathering and my dog snapped and growled at several people including a child. (The adults let him sniff there hand first and he still did it) When I picked him up...

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...

I have a 1 year 4 month old Morkiepoo. I've been trying to train him on my own but I think we might benefit from a class. I have trained him to sit, stay, shake when a treat is involved but I can't seem to transition him into being motivated without seeing the treat. His leash behavior use to be...

My husband and I just recently got a corgi, he just turned 2. We also currently own an 8 year old american-staffordshire terrier. Our corgi took really quickly to my husband and gets along with our current dog just fine. He is fine when my husband puts his leash on or off him, he goes straight...

I have a 4 month old puppy (Russian bolonka) and he is housetrained and stays in his crate all day while I am at work (dog walker comes 3x a day to walk him, feed him, etc.) and he also sleeps in his crate, which is in the living room. He does not seem to mind his crate at all. He whines a...
