@MegaHorseRadish
me the way i got my dog to sit is hold a piece of food in front of him (in between my frist three fingers and thumb) and when he tried to eat it i tell him to sit and at the same time move my wrist back and he sits.

@GrandPuertolasRoxs Using force or aversives (physical punishment) is faster, but is harder on the dogs, and you generally will end up with an animal that is afraid of you all of the time. Using food/toy rewards takes more time, but your dog bonds with you and sees you as the provider of all things good, and is much more highly motivated to do things for you on the chance that they might get a reward. If you use marker training correctly, you can phase out the food/toys fairly quickly.

@nexzus3 You are holding the lure too high if your dog is jumping to get it. Keep it right in front of his nose, like a half an inch away.

@capitalismforever Not true. The word yes is your marker, what you use to tell the dog they’ve done what you want. You work to get the behavior first, then you start adding your verbal command. They will begin to associate the verbal command with the behavior pretty quickly once they realize there is something in it for them.

@MegaHorseRadish Also try saying “Uh uh” or “No” if he barks or jumps, then try again. He’ll get it eventually.

@akumavictor
As long as your puppy isn’t extremely tiny and is aquainted with his new home, i think it would be ok to start training him/her. I began training my dog when she was 4 months old because that’s when she became used to her new home (wasnt scared, new her way around) and was starting to misbehave. If your dog isn’t behaving, it’s the perfect time to begin training. Hope this helps:)

@AnimalsGirlful calm down~ Train your dog soon, but make sure you are ready. As early as they can understand you works. Good luck and I hope I helped!

@AnimalsGirlful you are supposed to train them the day after you take them home, the first day you are supposed to let the dog wander around your house to feel at home =)

@johful3 thats what my friends dog does!
January 16th, 2011 at 5:34 pm
My dog went from standing to begging with 2 feet up trying to get the treat, then ran off with my shoes. Definitely didn’t even come close to sitting.
I love all these videos but It would be SO helpful if dog training videos could show dogs which aren’t already trained.
