My dog doesn't obey very well...?

Question

He listens very well until I let him outside. Then he ignores me. I feel like I've tried every technique. What's worked the best for you?

Answer 1

Accept your dog for what he is and just make sure he can't get away...just love him and keep him safe...don't try to imprint emotions that a dog doesn't have anyways, in other words, don't try to think of him in human terms. The outside world is a wonderous mix of smells and sights to him, so don't take it personally if he is so naturally interested in it. Just keep going up to him and petting him and such.

Answer 2

does he get hyper outside? if yes, then you probably cant do anything. If no, then let him roam around. Theres a lot of interesting smells out there. Keep him on a leash, and you should be fine. If he jumps at people, then try this: every time he jumps, tell him to GET DOWN. whenever he doesnt jump, reward him with something pleasant, like dog treats. =)

Answer 3

My dogs will obey instructions from my husband and grown daughter. she would be in a position to obey some instructions from various human beings. it relatively is situational. She has run agility for others, which would be very reachable if I destroy. She has worked sheep for our running shoes. there have been cases at trials whilst i might desire to hand her off to somebody for a couple of minutes and it relatively is relaxing to appreciate she would be in a position to "innovations them", down and settle. i do no longer anticipate her to obey each and every unusual Tom, Dick and Harry. Nor might I unavoidably choose for her to. yet, in many circumstances and in case of emergency it relatively is reassuring to appreciate she is unquestionably knowledgeable adequate and has the "biddability" to conform to instructions: if left at a vets, if left at a pal's abode, boarding kennel....or if all of us drop lifeless. She ought to adapt, be a excitement, be depended on and for this reason have fun with a extra desirable life than a dogs that isn't hear and innovations.

Answer 4

Try giving your dog good play time before you try to work on the leash. Distractions abound in the great outdoors.
By putting him on leash and playing, it gives him time to do a bit of exploring firtst, then work on training obedience in 5-10 minutes at a time to start with, gradually increasing the time you work him.
Use correctons immediatedly when he does not listen. I found walking in circles helps greatly as it pulls the dog's attention back to you instead of what is ahead of him. trust me, it takes ALOT of time time and I have gone in many circles but eventually, we get good walks and good results...
the biggest factor is consistancy. don't expect even the best behaved dog to not get distracted if you walk it once a week.

Answer 5

well, i have never had a dog before but I'm not completely stupid on this subject
the reason he doesn't obey you when outside is because there are to many distractions
u need to get his attention somehow
try carrying his favorite toy having his favorite treats with you when taking him outside
that may work
you can also try obedience training
GOOD LUCK

Answer 6

Try working with your dog on a lead outside. It may be that there are just too many distractions outdoors for your dog to focus on you.

If you leash him, on a fairly short line, he'll have no choice but to stick close by, pay attention to you, and go where you go. Try attaching the leash around your waist and just walking. Reward him intermittently with treats for paying attention to you (i.e. each time he makes eye contact with you or stops to see what you are doing). This method is used with deaf dogs, to teach them to pay attention to their owner's visual cues, since they cannot hear.

Good luck! ;-)

Answer 7

Pets don't always listen well when there are more "interesting" distractions. My pets aren't great, but....reading "Kats on Dogs" and "Caesar's Way" helped quite a bit. Basically, "Caesar's Way" (by the Dog Whisperer) will tell you to take your dogs on long walks and "Kats on Dogs" will tell you lots of tricks to get your dog to listen to you. I think both books are helpful, but "Kats on Dogs" gives more helpful information for specific problems. Kats tells owners to train their dogs in a way that their dog will respond to (versus tradional commands and training methods). He'd probably tell you to take your dog's favorite treats outside with you and reward him any time he focuses on you and comes when called.

Answer 8

put him on a leash and go outside! if he pulls on it then you need to run where there is no pull in the leash so he will think he is off of it! or drop the leash and step on it and he will think he is loose!
then tell him to sit & come here & tricks...he will learn!
then test after a couple days!!!

HOPE THIS HELPS...and thnx for the answer u gave me it helped=)
