Command Performance Dog Training Billerica Ma Town

Stock continued to barack obama here bugs with people difficult to use the method described by Dunbar DVM his Sirius Puppy Training video to teach puppies how to sit. Use small pieces of dog biscuits, or other tasty treats for this training. To teach the sit command, hold a small piece of treat at the level of the puppys nose. Your puppy smell the treat and move his head toward it. When he sniffs the food, slowly move the hand holding the food back and slightly over the top of his head. As he stretches his neck to reach for the food, continue moving the treat over the top of his back toward his rump and repeat the command sit several times. Most puppies drop into a sit position order to reach the food. If you raise the treat too high over the puppys head, he likely raise up on his back legs to reach the treat and not sit. As as the puppy sits, give him the treat, act very excited and lavish him with praise saying good puppy. Continue short training sessions until your puppy sits automatically when given the sit command. You be surprised how quickly most puppies learn this technique, often just a few minutes. Once your puppy has mastered this exercise, every member of the family, including all children, must be taught how to make him sit. You have to portion out the dog treats to be sure your puppy does not receive too The puppy must now sit before he receives anything. If he wants to play, he must sit. If he is being fed, he must sit before receiving his food. If he wants you to pet him, make him sit first. If he runs to the door to be let out to eliminate, praise him for going to the door, but make him sit before opening the door. You are rewarding him for signaling you to let him go out, but he must earn the privilege of having the door opened for him. When you open the door, make your puppy remain sitting until you and other family members go out the door first. This show him that higher-ranking members of the pack go out the door first and hopefully this keep him from bolting out the door whenever it is opened. Mealtime is a very special time for most puppies. The individual feeding him is a special member of his family and is often considered a higher-ranking member. If you have children, help them measure out the puppys food and have them place a few pieces of food into the dish. After the puppy eats them, have the children add a few more pieces until all the food is gone. This lesson teaches the puppy that a childs hand reaching toward the food bowl means the child is giving him something and not taking anything away. This exercise help desensitize your puppy to children around his food bowl while he is eating. Allowing the children to do the feeding, elevate their rank because the puppy must depend on them for his food. Another good idea is to have all family members do things to distract the puppy while he is eating. Pet him, rub him and gently pull on his tail and legs. This serve to desensitize him to human contact while eating and make him less likely to be protective during these times. Do the same thing when he is chewing on his favorite chew objects or playing with his favorite toys. Take these objects away from your puppy, praise him and then give him a food treat as a reward for giving up his prized possession. Eventually, you not have to use food as a reward. Praise him and give back his chew object as a reward. Once your puppy allow you to do this without any incidents, supervise and allow your children to do the same thing. Eventually every family member should be able to take things away from your puppy and reward him for giving them up. Some training methods utilize training techniques such as neck scruffs and the rollover. If a dog is dominant aggressive and forceful training methods are used, he submit to the individual training him. If other family members challenge him and force him to do something against his he not submit to them and they could be at risk of being bitten. If he growls or snaps at individual and makes them back down, he has elevated his status over that particular individual or family member. He then use threats attempt to be control. If this aggressive behavior escalates, he eventually become unacceptable pet. Euthanasia or the animal shelters is often the fate for a dog with this type of behavioral problem. A puppy that is trained using humane, fun training methods, where he has to submit to you for everything he receives, has a better of becoming a well adjusted adult dogs that knows that all family members are higher ranking than he is. His life be made easier for him because
