Answer 1

There are several training techniques to teach your dog to sit on command. Most dog trainers believe that you can start training your dog to sit at around three months old.

The first technique is simple and very good for young puppies. When you see your puppy about to sit, say the command 'sit' firmly and when your dog sits, praise him for getting it right. In no time, your puppy learns to associate the verbal command with the act of sitting and you can then get your puppy to sit just by saying it.

The above technique might not be that effective for older puppies. With older puppies, you can practice this second technique. With your dog in front of you, hold a tasty treat and pass it across the dog's nose and continue over his head a few centimeters high. In the process of trying to follow the motion of your hand, your dog assumes a sitting position. As soon as your dog plants his behind on the ground, say the word 'sit' firmly. If he sits down, reward him for it. Later you will not need the treat to make your dog sit on command.

Getting your dog to remain sitting shouldn't be as difficult. The idea is that when you command your dog to sit, he should remain sitting until you tell him to leave the sitting position. All you have to do is make your dig sit until you say a 'release' word that signifies that he is free to go. When in the sitting position, call your dog's name and add the 'release' word/statement. Your dog should come to you. With time, the dog understands that the word means he can stop sitting. During the training sessions, if your dog gets up before the release word, show him your disapproval and make him sit again. This way, the dog understands that he is supposed to sit until you say the release word.

These are just a few of the several techniques that can help with your dog training. Again, remember that you may not get instant results, but repetition, patience and rewarding your dog every time he gets it right, will work in the end.

You just got this dog yesterday so you can't expect her to behave - she doesn't know anything yet. How old is she? Are you talking about a puppy here?

Training takes time and until she's trained, the safest thing to do is put her in a crate at night and when you're not there. Make sure she gets lots of exercise, has toys to play with, and that you play with her in the yard - throw a ball or frisbee. Dogs who are bored and frustrated do a lot of damage, whereas dogs who get exercised, get some mental stimulation through obedience or agility or whatever their interests are, don't damage their houses.

But you just got this dog - so now put the time into her. Dogs aren't born knowing how to behave - they have to learn.

well first of all if you make her go into the cage after awhile she will start thinking of it as her safe place so its not a big deal to the dog but you should teach her the word like kennel up so everytime you are about to leave or she is being bad that she knows.oh and dogs have no sense of time so dont worry about the dog but just dont leave her in the cage for more than like 8 hours at a time because she cant go outside to use the restroom or anything so just put it into a dogs perspective.

Answer 4

My dogs did that, too, when they were puppies. You have to be on alert to watch for them doing it and then catch them in the act. Then give them a firm "NO!" while pointing at them and then at the objects they were tearing up. Then move the objects away!

Also, don't have any play toys for them in any area you don't want them to act this way in! If they think it's okay to chew on their toy in the house, why would they think you would mind them chewing up your throw pillows? (yes that happened to me)

Also make sure they know they're not allowed up on a sofa or other area so you'll eventually have a safe area to put things. Keep the floor clear of anything them might tear up...this includes SHOES!

If you catch them every time they do it and respond immediately and assertively each time they will eventually get it. It took my dogs MONTHS unfortunately, but now they NEVER tear anything up!

Answer 5

It sounds like your dog has a lot of energy. Make sure she had plenty of exercise outside. Don't feel guilty about putting her in the crate at night. That should be her special place and her security. Give her a dog bone when it is time to go to bed or for you to leave the house. Don't show any guilt feelings to the dog or you're a goner! Be firm! Good luck.

Answer 6

keep your things off the ground and out of the dogs reach.
tell the dog no and if she tears your things.
if she stops give her a treat. that is when she will probably stop.

about the commands,
when you teach her commands you should help her by:
1.when you want her to sit
push her bottom on the floor and say sit, and practice with her.
2.when you want her to lay down
gently lay her down on the ground and say down
3.when you want her to come
you should get a treat and say the dogs name
practice these three commands over and over when she finally does them give her a treat. then when she can do those you can teach her more commands.

Answer 7

First of all dogs learn to love the kennel at night. Have some treats in your hand and lead them to the kennel and shut them in. Then turn off the lights and walk away. If they are doing something you don't want them to do spray them with a water bottle. If you are going to leave the house put them in the kennel. They will get use to it.

Answer 8

There's nothing wrong with a cage, in fact, cage training is good for your dog, especially a puppy. My dog, now mature, goes to his cage happy, it is "his" refuge. Bookstores, of course, offer great guides for training your dog, and obedience school, usually a six-week course is very good. Also, watch the Dog Wisperer. Good luck!

Answer 9

If the dog is still a puppy she will grow out of the chewing on everything.But my suggestion to you with the siting.start out with a treat.give one to her.then tell her to sit,if she does not gently press down on her rear back.Tell her good girl.Keep trying to get her to sit on her own.If she is having problems with useing the bathroom in the house put puppy pads down and get a tin can and put a quarter in it when you see that she is getting ready to do her business shake the can at her and put her outside.If you have anything else you can email me.GOOD LUCK!!
