how to teach my 2 n a half months german shepherd puppy to sit,stand,call,stop barking,stop chasing?

Answer 1

german shepard are the smartest dogs..so they learn fast! just be firm with them and let them know whose boss! they say to sit on you dog for 10-15mins to calm them down and that way they know who to listen to. dogs are pack animals...and still have the same insticts..so when feeding your dog it should be 10 mins after you have eaten (like follow the leader). Its really good to crate train your dog! if your dog barks...just firmly yell at the dog and give a little tap on the nose! use treats and push ur dogs butt down while constanly saying the word "sit" and doing the hand motion for sit, which is pointing your finger from down to up. do this for about and hour everyday.. but you must give a ***** treat each time so they look forward to doing the trick. dogs have short term memory...so don't forget to take the time out to do it everyday!

For starters, make sure you set reasonable expectations. You can try to teach a four-year old human child not to run into the street, but you won't really expect them to be trustworthy about it until they are older. At 2 1/2 months old, your pup is still a tiny baby with a tiny baby brain. You can absolutely teach Sit at this age (you will not get it completely reliably yet) and you should definitely start teaching recall, or Come.

Sit is easy to teach with a puppy by simply holding a piece of food (can be their kibble) over their head. They will be inclined to sit naturally as you bring the food up in front of them. Say "Sit" as they sit to associate the word with the action. Practice it in lots of different places - Sit next to the refrigerator is not the same as Sit in front of the couch, so you'll need to practice them both. You can train Stand essentially the same way by luring the pup into a stand instead of a sit. You might wait until a little later for Stand since it tends to be a bit more confusing than Sit.

Practice Come by playing Pass the Puppy. You and one or more family members should take a handful of yummy treats or a favorite toy and sit at opposite end of the living room. Call the puppy back and forth between you in a very excited tone of voice, rewarding him with treats or playtime when he comes. If he ignores you, either move much closer together or stop the game and come back with something more exciting to the pup. As your puppy gets good at this, make the game gradually harder by moving father apart, and eventually into different rooms or even different floors of the house. When your pup is *really* good at it, start practicing outside on a six-food leash. Just remember that moving outside makes the game much harder because there will be more distractions, so you want to start back very close together like you did at the beginning.

Stop barking and stop chasing are trickier. At this age, your best best is to distract your pup if he is barking or chasing. If the pup is chasing, such as chasing the cat, simply keep him or her on leash and under supervision. Practice makes perfect, and if the pup gets to practice chasing, s/he'll become perfect at it! Your pup will develop more self-control as time passes; for now, do what you can to simply prevent and redirect those behaviors.

Spend alot of time with it. We, as in my family and I, used to breed German Shepherds, and we never had a trouble with teaching them tricks or anything. You just basicly spend alot of time with him,and if you want it to sit, say "Sit!" in a firm, not yelling, voice. It wont know what it means, so it probably wont do it, so push its but down until it sits. Then, tell its a good girl and give him a small treat. Stand, you basicly walk it through the steps just like sitting. Call, not sure. We never really delt with that one. Stop barking, well, it depends. If you have a visitor, and your dog keeps on barking, tell it to 'hush/shut up/be quiet' in a firm voice. But dont keep on switching your commands. In other words, if the next day, another visitor comes, and the first day you say 'Shut up' then the next day you say 'hush' then that wouldnt be good. You want it under one command. If it doesnt shut up in the first couple tries, tap it lightly on the mouth and tell it your command. If it doesnt listen, then grab its nose firmly, not hard or anything, and say in a stern voice for its command. Stop chasing, you can never really teach a dog to stop chasing. The best way would be to teach it on a leash first probably, and if it wants to run, tell it to stop.
Make sure that he only fallows on command though. Because if a visitor comes, and you tell it to hush, and it does, then a rober comes, and its already hushed because he thinks every person who walks in the house is a visitor, then that wouldnt be very good.

I have a Doberman and he listens really well. What I did was I purchased one of those metal collars that have the little curved bars in them, where when you tug on the leash/collar, when it tightens, these little points/bars go into the dogs fur. So it associates that with what to do and not to do.

You dont need to jerk the collar though, just give it a light tug.

By using this about 30 minutes a day, after less than a month I can drop a steak in front of him, even with this collar off and he will not go for it, because he associated grabbing food off the floor with the collar.

And please no one respond saying "poor dog" or "thats animal cruelty"....you definetely wouldnt be saying that if this dog was UNTRAINED and went after you or your kid because the owner had no control over it...lol.

Answer 5

By investing $100 or so in a good obedience training class. By investing 5 minutes or so every day, 3 - 10 times a day in training. By being consistent, patient, loving and firm.

Answer 6

You need to enrol in obedience classes, you should have already been enrolled in puppy socialisation classes.
