Dog Training

[blueser]

Hello,

Getting a dog shorlty and was wondering if i should shell out for training so the pup gets up to speed quickly with basic commands and dose not eat the sofas, anyone any experience with this?

thanks

Just offer him a biscuit if he does something right and make him continually do it again if he gets it wrong. Classical conditioning is easy if you've got patience. Wouldn't shell out on it.

if you have time on your hands you'd be better of training it yourself imo. its not hard to do either when they are pups.

Cover your entire floor with sawdust in the area it sleeps every single night mate.

When you come down in the morning wherever it was done a wee then grab it and rub it's nose in the sawdust. As it gets older it will associate sawdust with discipline. So it's being a bit of a tit and barking too much for your liking then put sawdust in it's food bowl for the day and it will get the message.

Sawdust, a man's best friend.

Rub a knob of butter on your balls and tip, it'll soon get the hang of where to lick.

Have you ever considered going on One Man and His Dog

No because if I did do that then I'd have Goat trying to lick me.

If the dog misbehaves then a great way to nip it in the bud is to place a small piece of metal in it's ear. It worked wonders for my dad's dog, it hasn't shat all over the kitchen or woken them up at 3am barking at leaves since!

They are a bit awkward to get in, but one of these should work a treat.

As soon as you get the dog into the house chin it right in the kite to let it know your the boss

Whenever it barks scream in it face and stick your finger up its arse, Just because

You're all fiends. Just praise it when it does well and say no when it does bad, it will learn. No need for inserting metal into it ( wtf is that about ).

You need to put ground rules in place asap. We had Moysie when he was six months and he was a complete nightmare.....chewed everything in sight....but tbh picked up the basic commands quite quickly.

We shelled £100 on a dog behaviourist and that calmed him down and now , while he still has his mad moments , he is so much easier to control etc. He is now 3.
