How can you teach your dog tricks?
How to teach your dog tricks is easy. Don't start out as hard ones like Down, Beg, Up, Roll, and Over. Start out with some basick ones like Sit, Lay, and Bark. ll Like for Kids, they go to school. They start as Kidergarten and work their way up to inprove their work. ll It's the same with dogs. How, you say. Easy for dogs they have kidergarten too. To teach dogs tricks start out with saying Come here "Sable". Then when your dog comes, give it a treat or give it a pat and say good girl/boy. Then, say Lay Down "Sable" and if it doesn't work show it a treat or bone and then say it ones more, then if the dog still won't give it some rest for 20min. come back and try again. When you are done with Laying down, Give it a Pat ot a Treat and say Good Girl/Boy "Sable". Then you can do the same with These steps. > Kidergarten: Lay down, Sit, Bark. First Kidergarten: Roll Over, Beg, Sit, Lay. Second Kidergarten: All Congratuations your Dog "Sable" is the best of the class and has Graduated from school! Thank You, Rosallena Roth
Why is my dog wining and digging the carpet?
This could be for several reasons. First, if your dog has not peed on the carpet before but is starting to now, I would suggest a trip to the veterinarian to check for a urinary tract infection. The irritation caused by a urinary tract infection can cause a normally house-trained dog to squat and urinate frequently throughout the day.
Second, if your dog has not peed on the carpet and you've recently had a major change in the household (moved to a new place, wedding, divorce, new kid, kid leaving for college), this could be a sign of stress. Keep a close eye on your dog for the next few weeks and reassure him/her that his/her schedule will still be there.
Third, if your dog has always peed on the carpet, this is likely a learned behavior - I would suggest talking to a dog trainer about how to retrain your dog to urinate outside.
How can you stop your dogs obsessive licking?
THE ANTI-LICK STRIP!!!
http://www.nurturedpets.com
I have an adoreable dachsund/shih tzu mix and he used to have a real problem with licking. I learned that when a dog is licking you and you want them to stop, take a step back, just out of reach of the dog, saying firmly (never meanly) a word that you will say when you want them to stop like, "That's enough", or "No more". Then step back to your dog. If the dog continues, repeat. After so long, if the dog does not stop after a good amount of repititions (it will also depend on how long you can stay patient), leave the situation. The dog will learn that when it licks you, you say a word, it needs to stop. The dog will learn you will not tolerate disobediance.
What happens if a trained protection dog bites for no reason?
That's a liability nightmare. Because the dog was intentionally taught to bite, even if only for sport or protection, vicious dog law generally hold the owner to a higher standard on containing his dog. Training-wise, it's a serious problem that requires expert help from a trainer experienced in protection training. This is not a fix-it-yourself project.
Do dogs like to be pet on the head?
Some dogs will patiently tolerate being patted on the head, but in the canine world this gesture is usually a sign of dominance, aggression or intimidation.

How do you stop my dog from eating deer poop?
if your dog is on a leash when it eats that yukky poop,pull your dog back and tell him "leave it" with a firm voice. if that doesn't work, get infront of your dog (don't step in the poop!) and snap your finger at your dogs mouth. Do not get your hand to close to your dogs mouth! Your dog might have a much more different response
What can you use on a driveway gate to keep a little dog from going under it?
I take the plastic covers for gutters that are meant to keep leaves from clogging the drain pipes and attach them to the bottom of the gate with cable ties. I put one on each side and tie them together to make them more rigid. If the gate is higher off the ground than that, buy some pig wire from the farm supply store and attach it at the bottom. Pig wire is a rigid wire fencing that a small dog could not bend like chicken coop wire.

How to train to be a dog walker?
With licensed dog walker I have heard there are no licenses to receive in this area but if you register a company such as DBA or similair, you could probably get away with say you are licensed.
3. What services do they offer, is there anything not being offered that you could create a niche for?
You will want to come up with a name for your business and check with your local city hall that no other business is already using that name.
After that I would suggest going to godaddy and registering the URL of that business. A website is well worth the cost in this type of business as it will convey trust.
Once you have your website registered, you will want to create new client forms for them to fill out when they hire you, you will want a form requesting their pets information and also all their contact info, vets info and emergency contact.
Next you should setup an account with paypal to receive payments from clients.
Then you will want to setup a basic website, it should list who you are, what services you offer, your prices and service area as well as how to contact you.
After that you should register with Google adwords and start promoting your website.
Then contact pet sitter associates and purchase insurance and bonding as well as registering with either PSI or NAPPS.

Let the Journey Begin!
How do you get your dog to not jump up on people?
Take him to animal obedience classes.
AnswerConsidering some human males are always doing the same thing to us women here is a simple rule .... lift your leg and push the "dawg" roughly away from you and then do damage! LOLNow, speaking about the problem with your "dog" just lift that leg, knee bent, gently push against the dog saying "down!" and then press the palm of your hand on his head and say "good dog." Only takes a couple of times.
Funny, this method works well on dogs, but not some males, so guess who is higher on the chain of intelligence!
The previous answer is a more dominant training technique, but what most people don't know is that positive reinforcement methods can be used when teaching a dog not to jump up. When training a dog not to jump, it's useful teach him that good things come from the floor. So if the dog is about to jump up, throw treats on the floor to distract him. This will take the focus off of the person and onto the floor.
Teach him a 'touch' or 'shake' command as an alternative greeting to jumping up. It doesn't take long before the dog learns that this is the proper way to greet family and guests.
Yes, they are easy to train. The trick is, since they are so small, when they are starting to have an accident or already had one, first scold them, then take them outside as soon as possible. If they do go out side, praise them and cuddle them. Every time you take your Shih Tzu outside, make sure they go to the bathroom, so they know that when they go outside, that's there time to go, and no other time. This worked very well when I did this with my Shih Tzu.
Never scold a dog for going to the bathroom that's terrible. Use positive reinforcement. Puppys have very small bladders and need to go out very very frequently. Instead of scolding the dog. Give it a treat and praise when it does its business outside. It also helps to bring it to the same spot to go potty every time. If you cathc it in the act of peeing or pooping a firm no will do and then take it outside to its potty place. If you are consistent with training and let your puppy out often, this will get your puppy potty trained quite fast. But scolding your dog will usually result in it being scared of you and its more difficult training a dog who's afraid.
How do you stop dogs chasing shadows?
Well, I guess it is just their nature. Many dog's were and some still are taught to hunt creatures, but I believe it is their playful nature! My dog also chases shadows at night, and also chases lights, like if you shine a torch around on the floor. I don't really think there is an exact answer to your question, but I do hope I have helped a little.

How can i teach my puppy to come when called?
The same thing you do with any other dog, you get its attention. By patting your legs, whistling, calling its name, or if your dog love to play with a tennis ball like mine you could even through it in the air to get its attention. Jack Russell's are no different than other dogs, all dogs can be stubborn when they want to be, and in that way dogs are just like people.
Why does a dog follow one person wherever they go in the house?
The dog may has probably formed a stronger attachment to the person that it is following. This happens more often with an older puppy or adult dog that you have brought to your home. If you are the main caretaker and give the dog more attention then the other household members the dog will most likely attach themselves to that person. This can be seen more often in the breeds that are considered a "one man dog" breed.

The easiest option for you would be to by a bark collar. They are offered for a range of prices. They emit a smell, noise, or slight electric shock as soon as a dog barks to discourage a dog form barking. All three are annoying to the dogs, but none of them hurt the dog.

We allow trained service animals accompanying passengers with disabilities in all customer areas in our stations, trains and Thruway motorcoaches. Never assume a pet will be permitted. Ask before you make your reservations. ------ Yes, sometimes if they are really little, but they have to check the dog and it cannot come out of the carrier usually.
Older dog started pooping in the house?
It is because You are not taking him outside as often as you think you are. Or...your giving your dog too much food and letting the food just sit out. Set a time where you feed your dog. two or three times a day is fine. Your Dog will poop when he cant hold it any longer. So take him outside very often until he goes poop.
