How do you train a one year old dog to not bark at everything?

Dogs are reaction/result driven. Barking gives her some sort of reward or stimulation. You need to reward the behaviour you want (silence) instead. If you are already doing clicker training, you are halfway there. It will take time, but it will work. Go in baby steps. When you are in a situation that you know will make your dog bark, capture it's attention and reward it for silence. Gradually, you will reward longer and longer breaks, and you can add a command word, like "quiet." It's very important, though, that you time your rewards well. If you reward when she has started a bark, she will think that is what you are rewarding. Place tasty morsels in the dog's mouth,

so that is cannot bark all do the time. Reward the silence,

and distract it from barking with other things to

do,

such as eat,

play

and receive positive attention. Notmagic, but it will help.

If that fails,

try a spray bottle at the right momment.

What to do if your dog tears up every toy he has?

Try to find stronger toys. What did you expect them to do with the toy?

I have one hound that loves to "de-squeak" any toy with a squeaky part ... I tend to not get him ones with a lot of stuffing because for him to get at that squeaker, he has to go through the stuffing.

Also it may help to find a different kind of toy ... this same hound loves empty plastic water bottles ... there's a cloth toy out there, that has velcro on the bottom, open it up, insert an empty water bottle, and he goes to town ... once its not as crunchy.. pull out one bottle stick another in..

Should you lock your Doberman up when you have company?

Well that usually depends. If this dog of yours tends to be playful but rough or calm but loud it might be a good idea. But if the dog is not too rowdy or too loud then keep it out for a bit. PS, if you do lock up your doberman, give it plenty of space, like lock it in an extra room, or in your backyard. ( if you have a fence or long leash.) if the company stays for more than 15 minutes excuse yourself to get your dog some food and water so he can be comfortable and fed during his wait. And one more tip, don't lock him in the same room that has any valuables, he/she might tear them/it up, so don't take chances. Hope this helps, and do what you think is best for your pet.

The best way to start toilet training my baby?

Hi,

The key to rock-solid housetraining is to start the day your pup comes home and stick with the program. Using a crate is the easiest method.

Using a crate is the easiest method. In a nutshell, here are the basic steps:

1. Take time off to housetrain your puppy.

2. Start using a crate the day you bring her home.

3. Take your puppy outside for a bathroom break every one to two hours during the day.

4. Plan a middle-of-the-night potty run for young puppies.

5. Shower her with treats and praise when she does a good job.

6. Don't punish your pup for accidents you haven't seen.

How do you reverse a dogs mentality when it comes to abuse?

In general, dogs are very accepting of people, even after they have been abused, but sometimes abuse results in very negative behaviors. However, you don't want to do anything that will make things worse, either.

Honestly, an abused dog is a situation that requires a specialist (just as dealing with an abused child requires help from a psychologist or other experts). I recommend that you consult with someone at your local SPCA and get a referral to a reputable person (who you should offer to pay, if you can) who knows a lot about rehabilitating abused dogs. It is a slow, complex task and not always possible, but very much worthwhile when successful.

Good luck, and do all you can for that dog.

How do you stop a puppy to stop crying for his mum?

When I first brought home my puppy "Roxy", she would cry all night for her mom, it broke my heart! Someone told me to by an old ticking clock and put in under the pillow in her bed. It reminds the pup of a heartbeat, this worked like a charm and Roxy has been great ever since! Hope this helps your sleepless nights!

When should you add a cue to a behavior in dog training?

Add the cue once your dog has learned to perform a behavior to your satisfaction.

If your dog is reliably responding to your hand signal for "down" (reliably = 8/10 times), add the verbal cue in this order to create an association to the sound "down" and the behavior your dog has already learned:

  1. Say the verbal cue, "Down"
  2. Show the hand signal
  3. Praise/reward when your dog performs correctly

Keep the verbal cue and the hand signal SEPARATE, or your dog may become dependent on seeing them in combination to perform correctly. With enough consistency and repetition, your dog will learn to associate the sound "down" with the behavior you want!

Why do people kill dogs?

Some kill dogs because:

1. Disobedience or frustration. The dogs don't listen to their masters when they tell them to do something.

2. Psychopathy/cruelty. The owners are psychopaths or abusers.

3. Dog fighting. Some don't kill them directly, but set them up to be killed in dog fights. Sometimes sore losers of dog fights kill their own dogs.

4. Mercy killing. Some kill dogs out of mercy, such as if they are very old, terminally ill, or in severe pain.

5. Self-Defense. Some kill dogs that are attacking them, their loved ones, or children. Some do so because the dog has end-stage rabies and is a public health risk.
