Answer 1

the first thing to remember about housetraining a puppy is there ability to hold themselves is limited. a rule of thumb is they can hold "it" usually 1 hour for each month of age. 2 months old = 2 hours, 3 months old = 3 hours, etc. when your puppy wakes up (marning, nap, whatever) the pup has to go, right then! take the pup out. when the pup eats or drinks, it has to go, take the pup out. after exercise (play), take the pup out. when the pup does it's thing outside praise it. a lot. tell the pup how good, how smart it is. you have to pay attention to the pups "looking for it's spot" behavior. when you see that behavior indoors, whisk the pup out. if you catch the pup in the act, simply tell it "NO!" and whisk it outside. if you find a puddle or pile after the fact, clean it up with an enzyme cleaner (pet food store) get a newspaper and hit.... yourself in the head and say "i should have been paying more attention" daytime training they get pretty fast. night time training is easier if you crate train the pup. also remember the one hour/one month rule. you will have to get up through the night to take the pup out. good luck

To Heel: 1. Have your dog on your left side, facing the same direction as you. (Image 1)

2. In your left hand hold food in front of your dog's nose.

3. Give the command "Heel" and begin taking steps while keeping the treat in front of your left hip. (Image 2)

4. Note that it may take several attempts to keep your dog focused on the food.

5. Say the word "Good" at the exact time your dog walks as you walk. (Image 3)

6. Give your dog the food along with an abundance of praise for even the slightest show of understanding. (Image 4)

7. Train in short, 5-minute intervals throughout the day.

8. Be very patient and positive, and have fun.

To Stay:1. Be sure your dog understands a release command, such as "free" or "okay," before teaching this command.

2. Have your dog sit or lie down in front of you. (See Related eHows "Train Your Dog to Sit" and "Train Your Dog to Lie Down.")

3. Place your hand, palm open, in front of your dog's nose and give the command "Stay."

4. Say "Good" at the exact moment your dog exhibits the behavior you want.

5. Give the release command immediately after (within 1 to 2 seconds), followed by treats and unlimited praise.

6. Reward your pet even if she only "stayed" for 1 second; and always offer rewards for even slight indications of understanding.

7. Lengthen the amount of time your pet remains in the stay position very gradually, and slowly move farther away.

8. Remember to give the release command after every successful "stay" as you increase the length of time your dog must remain in the position.

9. Avoid going into another room until your dog fully understands the command.

10. Train in 5-minute sessions.

To Sit:1. Stand in front of your dog.

2. Hold a treat right near your pet's nose, just out of his or her reach.

3. Slowly move the treat over your pup's head and toward his or her tail.

4. Say your dog's name, and give the command "Sit."

5. Keep the treat at nose level. If the treat is held too high, the dog will jump.

6. Say the word "good" at the exact second the dog sits.

7. Praise abundantly and give your pet a treat for any movement that resembles the sit position.

8. Release your pet from the sit position with the "release" or "free" command.

9. Repeat for 5 minutes.

To not jump:. Be consistent with puppies and dogs; it's counterproductive to discourage your dog from jumping on others, while allowing her to jump on you and lick your face.

2. Turn all the way around when you first walk in the door and your dog leaps up on you.

3. Wait until your dog stops jumping, and say "Good!" the moment she does.

4. Command your pup to sit if she knows the command, and don't touch her until she does. Again, be consistent.

5. Tell your dog to find her toy if she doesn't know "sit." This redirects your pup's energy from jumping on you to finding her toy.

6. Practice "no jump" with friends once your dog learns not to pounce on you. Have friends give treats and praise when your dog succeeds.

7. Anticipate potential jumping situations, and tell your dog to sit or redirect her attention to something else.

8. Praise your dog when she doesn't jump, especially during situations that might give her reasonable cause.

Stop Your Dog From Jumping on Furniture

Steps:
1. Take your pup off the furniture and say "Off!" Teach your puppy early on that you do not favor her sitting on the furniture.

2. Be consistent. It's important that you don't allow your dog to jump up on furniture one day and then punish her the next time she jumps on the couch.

3. Try not to leave food on the countertops and tables. These are temptations that a dog in training cannot resist.

4. Limit your pup's roaming area to places that don't have furniture with nesting qualities if your dog jumps on furniture while you're gone.

5. Consult a pet behaviorist if the behavior persists.

Answer 2

Pick code words for the actions you want to teach it, like "sit" "down" "off". Don't ever use "no", because that's used for too many things and can get confusing. Spend about half an hour each day trying to teach your pooch. Push his butt down with "sit" and reward him with a small treat and say "good dog". Do this whenever he gets this right. Don't ever hit dogs or yell at them after they do something bad, because they have such bad memories that they would have no idea what the hell your problem is. Use the appropriate voice and command during the fact, but it's useless to do it after. To potty train, try the code phrase "do your thing" whenever you go outside to let him relieve himself. When he does, praise him. If he does it inside, don't say anything to him. Make sure he's in the room with you and you clean it up with an angry face and ignore him completely for a few minutes and then give him affection to let him know you still love him. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Hit up your local public library and check out every book on training a puppy you can find!! Make sure the writer has some sort of credentials- actual trainers, experience, etc.

That's what I did, and I have 2 dogs that were PERFECT durring fireworks last night... except they kinda got bored and annoyed with me holding them- they wanted to wrestle!
