my pup dont hear any comands at all she is stuburn?

Question

can someone tell me how i can get my puppy to hear comands i have tried with many methods maybe she is now confused.

Answer 1

would i be correct in assuming that you've had her hearing checked by a vet? if so, she may be confused. you can't expect her to learn everything overnight. for about 5 min. at a time 2 - 3 times a day work on COME. nothing else. it won't hurt to use a hand signal as well. keep a leash on her, and when you call her reel her in. when she gets to you, give her lots of praise and a treat or 2. after a few days when she comes more or less on her own, work on SIT. dogs want to please, but a pup doesn't always get it right away. but once they do, and as long as it's fun for them, they can learn almost anything.
depending on what kind of dog, there may be specific methods you can use. i know there are training books for border collies, aussies, and "bully breeds".
vet check first.

Answer 2

HA HA. She hears you, she just chooses not to listen. It seems you're trying to train your puppy but it seems she's training you!

Inside your home in a quiet area clip the leash on her (make sure she's in sit first).

Then practice. Get some yummy treats (liver treats, hot dogs, bologna etc) and repeat over and over and over.

Sit. Good girl. Treat.
Sit. Good girl. Treat.

Get the idea?

Go from there to other commands. Then start increasing the noise, the distractions. etc.

It's all about hierarchy. When you're alpha she'll pay attention to you hands down, so you have to establish your position.

1. Discipline 2. Exercise 3. Love In that order and you'll have a happy well adjusted pet.

Don't forget the little things either. When you tell her to do something follow through. Stop your conversation, stop your writing, stop your reading and follow through till she knows you mean business!

Walking is a great way for bonding and establishing pecking order. You should take the lead. You walk in front of her and she follows (heel command).

Good Luck

Answer 3

Does she appear to be deaf? Or just not listening?

What I do is focus two commands at a time and then incorporate more into the routine as we go along. I start with puppy push ups. sit, down, sit, down, sit down, Good dog (treat) you may have to start with giving the dog a treat after every command. Once you find that your dog automatically goes from a sit to a down before you say anything, you incorporate another into the routine. sit, down , roll over. Again you may have to give a treat for each one until she does it correctly in a row. This exercise teaches dogs to listen to the commands and when the dog gets more advanced you can mix them up.

Next you have to make sure that the tone of your voice is positive and encouraging. If you get forceful then the puppy will not want to learn and this is suppose to be fun for both of you.

Answer 4

first off, some questions.
how old is the dog? how long have you had it? what breed is it?

second, pick one command to start with. sit is usually the easiest. with our aussy shep pup, we started this day one we had here (she was 8 weeks at the time). when we took her out, we'd let her do her thing, then at a certain part of the lawn (near some work lights we had set up so she wouldnt be afraid of the dark) we would tell her sit, combined with a hand signal (tho my bf and i have different signals for her- not recommended, but it just happened that way) and then we pushed her butt down. as soon as she sat we told her good girl and we went to the sliding glass door (the only door she goes "outside" thru) and we did the same thing there. in 3 days she was sitting in those spots on her own. now its usually part of the routine (tho i dont stress it- daddy does) she learned lay down a few days later, and is pretty good with come. she learned paw about a month ago, and since then we have made her learn other paw, and now we're working on black paw/ white paw, since she has different ones. we never trainned with treats, because then she doesnt listen to what we're saying, she is only focused on the food. but she loves to get petted and scratched and get held, so she will do "tricks" for any of those any day. now she has also learned different toy's names. she has had "purple bear" from day one, and knows its name and will hunt it out if you tell her to. it all just takes time and you have to do it over and over and over.

just start small, with one thing. and make sure she gets it and you reward her, either with a treat or with a big smile and good girl and a belly scratch. once she gets that one, try a new command, but be sure to keep working with the old ones (they forget)

Answer 5

Maybe ur dog is deaf. You could always try sign language for commands. Try for example pointing down with ur index finger for come. To do this make ur dog sit, show him the command then pull him to position several times until he understands and give him a small treat everytime u move him as a reward so he sees this as good behaviour. For sitting try holding ur hand in the stop position and repeat above steps. I have a deaf dog and she has sign language, she is the most obedient dog we have ever owned......she is 15

Answer 6

Is her hearing okay? Can you test it? Otherwise, I would suggest using one syllable word commands ("Sit", "Down") and reward her with a particular treat ONLY after successfully completing the commanded task Don't change commands either. For example, don't go from "Down" to "Lie Down". That might confuse her. Good luck!

Answer 7

Two simple rules:
#1 Never give a command you can't enforce.
#2 Be consistant

Answer 8

It's possible your puppy is deaf. Many dalmatians are, for instance. You should get her checked out by a vet to see for sure.

Answer 9

She may be hard of hearing or even deaf, I would suggest getting her hearing checked and not just assuming that she's stupid.

Answer 10

I suggest that you take her to the vet to check to see if she is hearing impaired. If she isn't then take her to training and tell the trainers your problem and see what they suggest.
Good luck!
