My puppy disobeys he never listens im bout ready to get rid of him what to do?!?!?

Question

hes bout 3 or 4 months

Answer 1

Goodness, he is still so young, much like a toddler, he is pushing his limits and testing the boundaries. Would you get rid of your child if he/she was doing the same thing?

Look up some training techniques on the internet. There is a plethera of information out there and if you are constant and persistant, your puppy will learn quickly. Also, you may want to explore crate training.

If you can afford it, puppy training classes are always worth doing. They can help you and your puppy learn positive ways to train and behave.

I wish you luck. Do not give up on your puppy. In the long run he will be worth it and you will have a loving, devoted, loyal, life-long companion. There are enough animals in the shelter... love yours like he is a family member.

Answer 2

take him to obedience classes! YOU will learn many positive techniques to teach him what he needs to know. 3-4 month old pups need consistency in training in order to learn, and just because a pup goes to training class doesn't mean that is all there is to it, you need to work with him everyday until he understands, and be patient...telling them no all the time isn't teaching...try the class it will benefit not only the dog, but you. if you say you don't have the time or the money as a response..then you really shouldn't have a dog at all. it isn't fair to the pup. when you brought that puppy into your home it then became your responsibility to care for him for the next 14 or so years and to make sure he is a happy, well adjusted member of your family.

Answer 3

That is part of the responsibility you take on when you decide to get a puppy. You know that they are going to chew, pee in the floor, tear everything up and not mind anything you say. I hope you have a crate to keep him in when you aren't there. He should be rewarded in some way each time he does something good. I suggest talking to him and using different tones when he is good and when he is bad. You should spend lots of time with him and try things like those little doggies puzzles that you put the treat in and he has to work to get them out. If he is very hyper he needs lots of exercise. He is probably bored and that is why he is so out of control. They offer reasonably priced obedience classes at Pet Smart and Pet Co. I am not sure if you have these stores in your area, but maybe you could find something comparable. Good luck, and don't give up on him. They are like children, they need guidance. He doesn't know how to act until you teach him.

Answer 4

You don't give us much to go on as to what he is doing.

First question is have you taught him what the commands mean??

Puppies do not come pre-programmed to understand NO, Sit, Down or anything else.

Second, how have you tried to teach him???


Third, at 3-4 months, puppies are rambunctious and into everything.

Fourth, get him a crate so he has a safe place to go and to stay when you aren't home

Fifth, when he finished his series of puppy shots, you two need to start school.

Now you both need a GOOD obedience class - and that is NOT Petsmart or Petco.

Answer 5

People get real! when getting a pet you need to understand that they are not dolls something you play with for a little while and then put down and leave it on a shelf. Animals are a big responsibility. It's like taking on the responsibility of a child.
They require patience, love, and care of all kinds. Medical check up is a first for their shots, they need to be registered for a License, Checked for worms, kept groomed constant observation etc. etc. etc.
We should learn first what it takes to have pets before we take on the big responsibility, it bothers me to hear pet owners want to get rid of their pets as soon as they get into a little problem with the animal. Of course your pet doesn't listen he's too busy being a puppy(a baby) you didn't listen either when you were two years old.

Answer 6

A good way to train a puppy is with a length of string 12-15ft long. You keep it attached to their collar and keep hold of the other end...every time they start to do something wrong, you tug on it, while saying "NO". Same thing for when you say "COME"...if they don't, you pull them to you. It takes some patience and persistence, but this technique works wonders. It can also work with obedience training. Remember also that puppies/dogs have very short attention spans, so keep your training entertaining and keep it also to short sessions of no more than 15 minutes at a time. The string, however, keep on almost all the time, lol.

Answer 7

No creature is born knowing how to "behave." Imagine how much more difficult it is when trying to get a different species, with its own set of acceptable behaviors, to conform to acceptable human behaviors.

You need to teach your puppy what you expect of him and what your words mean. Attend a puppy class so that you can learn how to communicate with him and he learns how to learn. Ask your vet for a referral or go to www.apdt.com to find a class near you. If you are not willing to teach your pup how to behave, do give him up so that he can go to someone who will train him. Everyone - including the pup - will be happier.

Answer 8

Still a puppy?? should still be fairly easy to train. If your pup is not listening, it can be as simple as showing your pup whos dominanat. Dogs are pack animals by nature. If your pup thinks they are dominant over you, they may not listen well, or train well.

If your pup is small enough, when he/she is acting up, take the pup and place them on their back, and verbally scold them. Also, picking the pup up by the scruff of the neck and scolding them face to face can work well also.

Once dominance is established, your pup should listen better.

Answer 9

First of all, he's still a baby. He needs someone who knows how to train him for one thing. I suggest you find some puppy kindergarden classes to take him to because you obviously need someone to teach you how to train a puppy. People don't get rid of their pets because they don't know how to train a dog. Do some research! Buy a book and read it.

Answer 10

sure, canine are like human beings and that they'll unfastened puppy teeth. it is the age the place this would ensue. it may commence as early and 3 a million/2 mos and might final for some months. provide him chew toys to help it alongside...he would be in basic terms superb.
