Dog Training Tip of the Day- Adding a Verbal Cue

September 27, 2010 By 25 Comments

This is my dog training tip of the day for today. It is a continuation of the last tip. In this video you will learn how to add a verbal cue to a behavior that you taught with a hand signal. There are three easy steps to teaching a Verbal Cue: Step 1: Give the hand signal 5-10 times to help the dog predict what you will ask next. Step 2: Say the Verbal Cue BEFORE you move a muscle to do the Visual Cue Step 3: Put time between your new Verbal Cue and your Visual Cue. Wait the dog out and see if they will offer the cue without the hand signal. As you could see Kiko did not know what I wanted at one point, and offered another behavior besides the ‘Spin’. Instead of telling her she was wrong, I made a kissy noise and asked her to touch my hand to reset her. If she had continued to guess incorrectly, I would go back a step and give her the ‘Spin’ hand signal again after saying the verbal cue. The more you play this game the faster your dog will be at picking up new cues. Kiko now knows after a few minutes, that ‘Obama’ is the new word for ‘Spin’. DOGS ARE SO SMART!

Housebreaking Struggles

January 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Now that you have brought your new dog home it is time to start the housebreaking. You need to be consistent with dog training a new puppy because if you cut him too much slack in the beginning it may lead to problems down the road. Your dog will be confused if you have allowed it to run free with no discipline, then all of a sudden expect it to be well-behaved.

It Is Never Too Late

You are still able to fix the situation even if you have let your dog run free with no rules. It is never too late to start dog training your puppy, unlike the common belief out there. It doesn’t matter if you have a puppy or an adult dog, it is possible to train them with housebreaking techniques until it is a habit. Whether it is dog chewing, dog biting, or dog growling that you are dealing with, it is important to pick out the behavior that concerns you the most. After housebreaking them on the first behavior, then you can move on to the next.

In order to make sure that your pet never becomes one of those aggressive dogs you always hear about on the news, you have to start housebreaking as soon as possible. If your biggest worry at the moment is that your dog does not know where they are or are not allowed to go to toilet, you will need to address this first.

Tips For Housebreaking

* Restrict food and water to the appropriate meal times
* Keep peed pads in one area
* You should praise your pet when it displays good behavior
* Never strike or slap the dog if it misses the pee pad
* After fifteen or twenty minutes of giving the puppy something to eat or drink, it needs to be taken to the pee pad

A lot of people leave water and food out for their dog all day long. Puppies should not be expected to hold their bladder the way that older dogs can. Young puppies do not have the ability to hold their bladder for long periods of time. This will cause more accidents in the house that are not the fault of the puppy. Thus, keeping their food and water bowls full at all times is not conducive to your housebreaking objectives.

Place the pee pad in the spot of the home where your puppy goes if he continues to miss the pee pad. At this stage, housebreaking is just acclimating the puppy to the pad with respect to going to the bathroom. Once they are used to it, you can continue with housebreaking by slowing moving the pee pad every few days towards the spot you eventually want the pads to reside at.

Even though housebreaking can take a long time, it is very important. You certainly do not want your puppy or dog going to the bathroom everywhere. You also want to make the housebreaking process as easy as possible for your dog so it does not become discouraged. Get outside help in puppy training if you need it. Just know that housebreaking takes time, no matter who is in charge of doing it.

Easy Steps To Fox Terrier Obedience Training

December 16, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your fox terrier and yourself. It’s fun and rewarding and will enrich your relationship with your new dog. Fox terrier obedience training is an ongoing process that occurs not just at specific training sessions but right through the course of your dog’s day. The lessons taught during training times should be reinforced at all times. Fox terrier obedience is just as important as shelter, food and water. That lovable and cute puppy can quickly turn into an uncontrolled adult dog if not initially given the proper guidance.

Fox terrier obedience training does not teach your dog to perform party tricks; it is essential training to keep your dog – and your family – safe. Your little fur ball will learn to wait, sit, stay, lay down, heel, leave it and drop it just because you said so! Fox terrier training is both an art and a science. There are many videos and books written on the subject and a lot of good information can also be found online. Training is vital to teach your fox terrier what is acceptable behavior and what is not. A dog that hasn’t had limitations set or been given instructions will not know how to behave.

Fox terrier obedience training is a very important key to having a happy, healthy, pet. Obedience training can help stop your fox terrier from excessive barking, biting, and whining and is an essential ingredient of responsible dog ownership. Proper fox terrier training teaches your dog how to exist in a two-legged world, strengthens the bond between people and dogs, and keeps your family and your dog safe.

Obedience training is not just commands. When taught correctly you and your dog will communicate via this language. It transforms your relationship from one of frustration, to one of harmony. Obedience training is a part of the social setting defined for your dog in your home. Changes in that setting and how the dog perceives his position brings about desired behavior changes.

Fox terrier obedience training will be the foundation of your dog’s acceptable social behavior. It will give you and your dog a happy and less stressful life. Fox terrier obedience training will prevent many problems from occurring and can assist in removing bad behaviors that may already exist. Many people think that obedience training is something that is carried out to make a dog perform some artificial activity on command, whereas in fact, obedience training for fox terriers that like to jump up is very helful. When your dog wants to jump up, have him sit instead. Then your can reward him with praise and attention for sitting instead of jumping up.

Aggression in dogs is a serious behavior problem for some dog owners. Aggression includes any behavior that is meant to intimidate or harm another animal or person and can include jumping up, biting, uncontrolled barking and not obeying commands. Once a dog has grown from puppy to maturity, it will become much more difficult to train. Fox terriers rarely display aggression towards people although they can occasionally display aggression towards other dogs. Training is the way to remedy this situation.
