HOW AND WHEN TO USE A DOG WHISTLE FOR TRAINING

-
Image
A dog whistle can be a great training tool for a dog, if used properly. It is extremely distinct, silent to others, and the high frequency cannot be easily replicated. As a result, hunting, herding, and police dogs are commonly trained using a whistle. The reasoning behind it is that this high frequency it emits can travel far greater distances than a voice, and is less likely to scare wildlife or alert humans. If you are trying to train your dog to stop barking, blow the whistle and wait for your dog to re-focus on you. Once you have gotten their attention from blowing the whistle, follow up immediately with the desired command. Remember, this whistle is used to get their attention, but then it is your job to use your calm assertive energy, body language, and voice to tell them exactly what you want.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DOG TRAINING AND BOARDING

THE PROS AND CONS OF INVISIBLE FENCES FOR DOGS

-
Image
Although invisible fences protect dogs by preventing them from leaving the yard, they do not prevent hazards from entering the yard. Stray dogs and wild animals can still access the yard and interact aggressively with pet dogs. Some dogs become agitated when they watch neighborhood dogs freely romp about and realize that they cannot join in. This is especially frustrating if neighboring dogs “tease” or play just out of range. Friendly, sociable dogs also become frustrated when they see another dog or human approach but cannot greet them. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" to eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE! Like all decisions regarding pets, the choice of fencing is one that takes research and careful consideration.

HOW TO BELL TRAIN YOUR DOG TO GO OUTSIDE

-
Image
Say the command “touch” and show your dog the bell, holding it a couple inches away from her nose. Most dogs will immediately move towards the bell to sniff it. As soon as your dog’s nose hits the bell, click your clicker or say “yes!” and give her a treat right away. The clicker or “yes” serves as a marker to tell the dog she’s done the right thing, and the treat is her reward. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" to eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE!

HOW TO GET YOUR DOG TO LISTEN TO YOU

-
Image
Dogs don’t speak to one another; they use energy and body language to communicate. So it’s not surprising that they sometimes have trouble picking up on our verbal commands, particularly when they are bombarded by our constant yammering all day. Even if they know a command, they may actually associate it more with a non-verbal cue you give at the same time — something you may not even realize you’re doing. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" to eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE! If your dog is listening to you, consider what may have changed about your physical presence. Are you holding a baby? Are you sitting down? Are you looking away? Small changes like these may be impacting your ability to fully communicate your message like you normally would. Beyond pent-up energy, your dog may be distracted by a number of emotions. If you are trying to train her to come when a neighbor’s dog approaches, your pup may i...

HOW TO TRAIN A DOG WHO DOESN’T LIKE HIS FOOD/TREATS

-
Image
I’ve found that he does like cheese. It’s relatively cheap when bought in the econo-saver blocks and it lasts over a week in the refrigerator. It’s easy for me to handle — not too sticky or goopy and easy to deliver one small piece at a time. The problem is he tires of cheese relatively quickly. Meaning that it’ll work great for 15 minutes, then he begins refusing it. He needs more than a 15 minute session. Sometimes we’re out running errands for a couple of hours — I needed to find a way to mix in a different, non-food reinforcer. I happened upon a solution while I was in the yard working on his loose leash walking skills. He had worked nicely for about 15 minutes, as usual, then began turning his head away from the cheese. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" to eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE! He’s huge, it’s easy to forget he’s still an adolescent dog. But I figured, what the heck, I’m going to try getti...
