how do i train a dog to obey orders?

Question

i want some tips on commands and how to deliver verbal warning? whats the limits on punishment?

Answer 1

Consistency, timing, and reward.
Make the command - say 'Sit' short and simple and deliver it in the same tone/volume every time. Time the reward for appropriate behavior so that the dog knows what it is doing correctly. In other words, don't say 'sit' and then reward when the dogs sags into a 'down'.

Answer 2

Why not find a good reputable dog training class by you...its a great way to get your dog socialised and to train YOU how to train your dog. If you decide that you do not want to do this, remember one thing, dogs speak dog language (yeah I know it sounds silly but if you would not expect a person who doesn't speak your language to understand you so why should it be different with a dog?) Therefore you need to teach the dog the command AFTER they have done the action....SIT: hold a treat just above the dogs nose and move it slowly back, 9 times out of 10 the dogs bottom will move down as its head follows the treat, when the bottom is on the floor , give the command SIT and reward with praise and the treat...takes time and perserverance but its easy when you know how....try getting a book on dog training...the hardest thing to do is to try and train a dog and not know what you are doing cos there will be no result other than frustration on your part and confusion on the dogs....Limits punishments to harsh words and ignoring them, they hate being ignored!!

we always have a couple of large dogs and I have the best luck with training if i use simple commands like stay,come,heel,kennel and i say them in a drill sargents voice so they know i mean business. Obeying is not optional. Everyone in the house that interacts with the dog needs to use the same commands and methods of training. We use treats only in the beginning then it's just expected. We don't punish here as far as anything physical. they can tell by the tone of voice when they are in trouble and if they screw up they kennel...simple as that. Do Not slack off on the rules...if they get by with it one time out of a hundred they will remember the one time it worked. We either train our dogs or they train us ...it's a choice and a lot of hard work. good luck

First of all, the one thing that a dog wants more than anything else is to please his human. Secondly, physical punishment of any kinda will only make the dog not trust you. I have found that training my dogs has always been pretty simple: persistance and approval work best. For instance, tell the dog "sit down" and touch his back hips with one hand and point down with the other. (you may have to push his hips down slightly until he gets it). I always try to use some form of body language to go with my command because dogs really watch for gestures. As soon as he sits, smile and pet him and say "good boy". (but don't act excited, stay calmly approving) And it's important to not get irritated with him if he's not getting it as quickly as you anticipated, this will scare him and confuse him and complicate things greatly. Repeat this exercise until he knows what's going on. I never use treats to train....they are reserved for unscheduled times, they are "treats" and should be an unconditional thing. In short, the better your relationship with your dog, the better he will do as you want him to. And, though you've heard it in a lot of the answers...watch The Dog Whisperer on National Geographic Channel. He is awesome!

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/BjuMD

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.

To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

Answer 6

You have to go to dog training school because you need training as much as your dog ! So both of you together !!!!!!! It is great fun too for both of you ! No punishment only praises !

Answer 7

Either put him in obedient school or, go to the library & check out a book on Training yer dog.

Answer 8

my advice to you love is to give the poor dog back to were you got it from. You want to punish a dog, now a days you are not allowed to punish your children let alone a poor defenceless dog

Answer 9

you must remain in control at all times, that dog needs to now that you are the boss, and that he must listen, a rolled up newspaper when they do something bad is a good way, it wont hurt but it will sting, or a bottle of water, and spray them in the face immediately when something bad is done! when you raise your voice, make sure that it is still in a low pitch just louder, that way the dog knows you are issuing control. Good luck and hope it works...Love him too!

Answer 10

I know a few people who have dogs and you have to yell "Stop" if they're doing something bad, but only if its bad 'cuz if you yell all of the time then he won't be surprised and most likely won't obey you.

And if you say sit push down on his butt so he knows what you mean.
