Ive got a Golden Lab how do i train it?

Question

Its a 5 week old pup and its been wid me for almost a week and it plays wid me and responds to "COME HERE" but when it catches hold of a towel or a cloth it dosent leave it . I also want to train it for everything else please help

its only 5 weeks so u think i shud use the squirt gun ??cuz the vet advised me not to even bathe it for a few more weeks

Answer 1

Tire the bastard out! Take him on long walks and use a squirt gun when he starts chewing on things that he shouldn't. Take control, but be patient. Puppies are annoying to deal with. If he's looking to please you, you'll be able to teach him just about anything. But remember, walks are the primo number 1 key to deal with a wild one.

Answer 2

if it is 5 weeks old its going to chew, get it some toys NOT YOUR OLD SHOES OR SOCKS that teaches them that those items are OK. some real puppy toys.pick up any objects you don't want chewed on. its kinda like having a baby around, you have to puppy proof.try using his name when you praising him or playing with him but not when your disaplining him. they associate there name with good boy , when he does bad say " no bad boy/girl. i think he is to young for the water gun but after 2 months i would bring out the water gun. and hopefully your dog was fixed and that's why you cant bath it. some vets are fixing dogs at 2 lbs or 2 months which ever comes first. and if its not fixed i would do so asap. do research,look at the pros and cons use the web oh mighty one. good luck.

Answer 3

well i have 2 8 month old puppies,

i say u should get little treats,
hold its color and dont let go
u have 2 train it everyday otherwise it will froget

its really good that it knows how 2 come cause thats real important

good luck,

Answer 4

Don't Shoot the Dg as suggested is very good but with a pup that young get The Perfect Puppy by Gwen Bailey.
Try to get it as soon as you can because your pup will develop very quickly and I would hate you to have problems at a later date.

Answer 5

get it house broken when it craps out side praise it .play tennis with it By using a puppy crate or confined area, and plenty of rewards for outdoor urination and defecation, you can train your puppy to “go” outdoors.

For many new puppy owners, house-training is the first order of business, after lots of cuddling. It is also the first hurdle encountered by new puppy owners. The good news is that, unless the new puppy was previously confined for long periods in dirty living conditions, she will naturally tend to avoid doing her "business" in places where she must sleep or eat. This instinct is important when it comes to house-training. It’s also one of the reasons for acclimating your puppy to a crate, or some other small area for times when she can’t be supervised.

Answer 6

Take classes at the local pound. They hire competant trainers. Get a training pen too.

Answer 7

With a 22. in its face lol just kidding they are the easiest to train

Answer 8

You must teach it the word 'release'.
If he's pulling on a towell yell release, if he doesn't release smack him in the face. Not hard enough to hurt him, just enough so it gets the idea and lets go.

Answer 9

Purchase the book "Don't shoot the Dog" - good primer on behavioral training.

Answer 10

i would look for a training manual..
