Whats a good way to train a dog?

Question

I received a very abused and neglect puppy on Christmas and decided to take it in. It is 4 months and is really spunky.. He stays in the bathrom at night so that he wont jump on my toddler while she is sleeping, and he wont go in the bathroom but as soon as i open the bathroom door he runs onto the carpet and goes.. I take him out every hour a night... He usually goes.. I was told that he was a wolf hybred, but also told that there was no way that is had no features of it and was a husky lab. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

if u keep him in the bathroom, and let him out, then he will go? that is because they will not go where the sleep/live.....you can try to put newspaper down in the bathroom for him to go on, and or a puppy pad..just like a news paper, but it is made of a cotton/fabric blend. the dog needs time to adjust to being in there and to learn he needs to go in there. but he should only be going to the bathroom outside. you should have a time set up every day to take him out, i take mine out 4 times a day. You should take him out at the exact time every day. He will learn that he has to go at the time you take him out,he will get it, but being abused, don't yell, or spank if he does go on the carpet.(i AM NOT SAYING that you would do that!! Sometimes some ppl think it is ok to do..)Well, If you catch him doing it .........say no,....then his name, and take him outside for 5 min, and put him back inside, then take him out on the next time scheduled to go out. Some people yell at the dog after he has gone to the bathroom on the floor, but the dog has no clue what it is being yelled at for? It can only work if you catch him in the act, otherwise he will have no clue why you are so mad, or upset.With a abused animal, they need extra care and much more discipline. They will come out of it, with love, help, and your patients. Good Luck to you!!!!! I think you will do GREAT!!!!

Answer 2

I'm not entirely sure what your training question is. I would like to say, though, that wolf hybrids can not be identified by appearance. They can look like any kind of dog depending on what breed the dog was from the dog/wolf parents. You'd be surprised at how dog-like some hybrids appear -- really throws people off.

Here's another link for Nothing In Life Is Free... I second that as a very good approach to take with any dog;

Answer 3

congradulate him every time it goes to the bathroom outside by giving it a dog treat and tell him how good he is and say NO every time he pees inside on jumps on the couch or bed and give him a light spank (not hard hard but medium) and he will eventually learn to go to the bathroom outside. after u let him out the bathroom pick him up and bring him outside before he has a chance to pee on the carpet. oh they also have these little potty pads for dogs. it is like 12 inches by 12 inches and it is 4 them to pee on like during the night if u lock them in a room. it is not messy. u get them at a pet store. welll hope that helps. good luck=D

Answer 4

When you walk in to get him out in the morning pick him up and rush him outside. Or open the door and run to the ouside nd encourage him to follow and make sure you keep his attention and doesn't do pee.

Answer 5

a good way to train a dog is to put him in a room for about 1 week that is covered with newspapers. that way, he will get used to going on the newspaper instead of the carpet.

He is my favorite.

Answer 7

i think THE REWORD part is the most important .... whenever he does a good thing you give him a little peas of meat ..... and when he does bad things ... you spank him real slow .... with a newspaper ... or a magazine .... that way he can make the difference between good and bad

Answer 8

set up a routine and be consistent.

You should use his favorite treats and when he does his "business" outside give him one. Then, day by day he should be getting better and better.
