Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.
What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

Answer 3

1. Use whatever treat your dog really, really goes crazy for. My dog loves his kibble and the green tops of carrots...both these are easy and not messy to carry around.
2. Vary your rewards like this: treat for first reward, physical play/pet/rub for second reward and verbal praise for third reward. Follow this sequence and then when your dog is responding to all three rewards, start to mix it up even more. Eventually you will not need to use food rewards, except when training something brand new. This is how a provincial assistance dog training centre does it, and it really works.
3. Train for 10 minutes every day, rather than big chunks of time every now and then. Your dog will look forward to this time every day for several reasons: he knows he is spending time with you (bonding), he is pleasing you (doing his job) and he is occupied (lowering boredom).
Good luck and have fun!

Answer 4

Use a combination of food reward, and physical and verbal praise. You don't want to treat the dog every time she performs a command, because you would be conditioning the dog to only work for food. Used with in combination of other forms of reward ( physical and verbal praise ) the treats can serve as the initial driving force. Treat her less and less as her training progresses.

Answer 5

Does every member of your extended family like exactly the same foods?
Right.
The same applies to dogs.
It is YOUR job to take notice of what YOUR pooch likes, out of the conveniently dry-&-small tidbits you have available.

Among the many possibilities are broken dog biscuits, slivers of HARD cheese (eg, cheddar), tiny cubes of baked liver, slivers of over-cooked bacon, peanuts.
The important things are that (1) The dog LOVES them, CRAVES them, never tires of them; (2) They are DRY and thus easy to carry around in a shirt pocket or similar (probably in a plastic zip-lock coin-envelope); (3) They are SMALL so that the dog doesn't get enough to begin feeling full.

You should also rationalise as to WHICH activities require food (the Sit-in-front is dead easy with food, tracking for "found objects" is much easier with food than without), versus which can be better rewarded by voice + massage (of ear base or chest) - you ALWAYS have your voice and left hand available (if the lead is in your right hand and you don't have laryngitis).

Answer 6

I use bits of their food! It is healthy and these are small little bites! Boiled chicken is also healthy to use as a reward. I would not however, go into a store and buy pet treats. Those are usually fatty and unhealthy (like a bag of chips for us) and too big to be used for training. You should use tiny pieces the size of their kibble for training!

Answer 7

My GSD is very food orientated and will work for even the most boring treats - bits of his biscuit will work most of the time or bits of cooked chicken but livercake is even better! Be warned - it's messy to prepare & stinks when cooking!!! Some dogs will sell their souls for cheese but I find my GSD isn't so fussed about that.
I agree about these shop bought pre-packed treats - many are full of fat & don't even say what's in them.
Any dog will work better if you don't feed him first - if he really wants his treats he'll work harder.

Answer 8

We tend to think of dog training as a series of steps for teaching particular behaviors. To teach a dog to stay in a particular position, you reward her as she remains in place for gradually longer times, at gradually greater distances, with gradually increasing degrees of distraction.

Now, this is fine, training does involve teaching dogs specific behaviors with a step-by-step approach. This week, though, I’m going to discuss three mental habits that will not only enable you train more effectively but also make life pleasant for both you and your dog.

Answer 9

none only use treats when you hit a sticky problem then when you've over come it stop the treats you want the dog to enjoy training not because he doe's it for treats

Answer 10

I'd suggest an obedience class with a good trainer. That way, your dog'll learn basic commands and learn how to be around and be social with other dogs.
