Dog Training

is there meletone in dogs brain

yes they do sometimes (dah)

== Take your dog to a secure but open area (no roads etc) sizeable back garden will do. Have a friend hold your dog on a lead whilst you walk as far away as you can. Turn, go down on your haunches, signal the dog to get his attention by calling his name in a high pitched voice (yes, even if you are a man!). Friend releases dog, you go mad at the other end, calling his name, waving your arms around, remember, you really want this dog to prefer going to you than anywhere else. Dog should run to you when released and if he does it, then a huge reward of cuddles, kisses, fuss and a small food treat - make him feel that everytime he comes to you its worth it! If he fails and ignores you, don't chase him, this will become a wonderful game for him to engage you with! Keep coaxing him, eventually (5 hours later maybe!) he will come, and when he does, even if your annoyed it took so long, remember that reward! Don't shout, holler, threaten, he won't want to know you. Do this again, again, again, always making it great fun. Eventually you will crack it. With pups, they can be taught recall with toys etc at a very early age. So long as it is always fun to be with mum or dad they;ll come to you. Posters are correct - this and "Down" are life savers. === === * Teaching recall to a dog can be a life saver. You should first start teaching a dog indoors where there will be less distractions. Call the dog to you in a happy, excited voice. If your dog is reluctant turn to your side and squat down and avoid making direct eye contact with your dog. Use treats if necessary at first. After the dog comes to you at least 90% of the time start training outside using a retractable leash. Train in an area with as few distractions as possible at first and gradually add them. You can train faster with two people by calling the dog back and forth. We call this doggie ping pong. Also have one person hold the dog and the other run away from the dog calling his name with excitement and after they get about 30 feet away release the dog. Never call your dog to you to do something unpleasant like a nail trimming or to scold. It is important to create a positive association when the dog comes to you. == == * You need to use a "choke chain" on stubborn dogs. I don't like them, but they train your dog far more quickly. Get either a very long leash or even a rope (go somewhere where there is lots of room and no other animals or people around) and let your dog run and then yank the dog back. This is a method for larger dogs only. For small dogs you would use a shorter leash and the same method as above, but don't pull too hard so the dog flips on it's back. When the dog eventually comes back to on the leash praise the dog highly. Dogs are smart and will get the message quickly if the owner has the patience to train them. If you don't have the time then get either a personal trainer or go to evening classes with your dog to teach them the general commands. I go to the trainers for all my dogs and work with them one-on-one. * The main way to get your dog back is simply calling the dog or going to the pound to find it but to PREVENT this is to simply fix the fence dog chain it and don't hurt it or anything just squirt it with water and keep it inside!

look at the movie credits or look it up on google credits for the movie the burbs

Wolfs whine because, they might be hungery or they might be a baby wolf that wants food.

give it some sleeping pills and have sex with it. you'll stop fantasising about it then. you'll just be remembering.

Yes. Unfortunately dogs can be very jelous animals. If your dog has peed on your child's bed you may need to take your dog for more walks or throw the ball. Something to make him feel more loved and needed. Dogs need a job and can become destructive if they have nothing to do. At the same time, Dogs are territorial animals. If your child pees in the bed then a dog will pee on the same spot to mark their teritorry. Even FEMALE dogs mark their territory!With there incredible sense of smell they can smell the pee even after you have washed the sheets. The answer may be as simple as closing the child's door when you leave home.

The store Crate and Barrel is very big and they sell a variety of products. Their departments include outdoor living, furniture, dining, kitchen, decorating and accessories, bed and bath, and organization and storage.

Let the dog pee in the same area if it is comfortable for him. If its not, he will probably go somewhere else. He probably just likes the spot.

dogs lick people to get to know someone and dogs lick people when their happy.

Yes! I was just awakened by a barking coyote. Usually they yip or howl but tonight it was definitely barking... and definitely a coyote. While researching - because I'm up in the middle of the night - I learned that this is a normal sound for them but can be due to the coyote perceiving a threat. Not sure what threat is outside my house at 11pm but I'm sure he scared it off.

Get one of those bitter things that are safe for dogs as the dog will taste the bitter taste and not chew.

While gross physical differences between giant and toy breeds will obviously affect a dog's vocalization, some breeds do have stereotypical particularities about their barks. Beagles tend to have a hoarse, high-pitched yowl, for example, while a singular, deep and resounding "whuff" is typical of Great Danes. Siberian Huskies tend to mix all sorts of vocalizations into their barking. These are only tendencies, and as individual differences can vary greatly, it is not plausible to be able to always tell a dog's breed from sound alone. Identifying one dog's breed by its bark is as reliable as identifying one human's race by their voice.

You should spy on the person who you want the money from, and find out were they put it. Then, at night grab it.

Latent learning happens when an animal (or human) stores information in its long-term memory and displays this knowledge, when needed, at a later date.

Latent learning is particularly effective when a dog is learning a new behaviour. It enables the dog on subsequent occasions to have a clear memory of the successful way it did the training by recognizing the triggers it learned to gain its rewards.

The most effective way of achieving latent learning is by providing quiet reflective time immediately after the event so that the brain has the opportunity to absorb the information without distraction otherwise it may not have time to realize the connection between the behaviour it has just done, and the reward it was given immediately afterwards. This is why training one exercise at a time is so much more effective than teaching a dog a number of different behaviours in one session. For instance, if a puppy is taught "Sit", "Come", and to do "Loose Lead" walking all in the one lesson - it will only latently learn the lead walking part of the lesson and may even begin to see the lead as a stressful trigger as it was confused and tired by all the new commands, exercises and the training environment.

Golden Rules of Latent Learning

1. Only teach ONE EXERCISE in a training session

For instance, when teaching a dog to consistently come to you when called, do not ask it to "sit" when it arrives at your feet - it will link the final command (Sit) with the reward rather than the behaviour of running to you, which you are trying to train.

2. Teach the dog a maximum of FIVE ATTEMPTS in a session

Keep the training sessions short. I have always found that repetitions of over 5 times always end in failure(!) either because the dog becomes bored, it tires and cannot concentrate, or we humans ask too much from the dog by expecting it to progress too quickly in the training session.

3. Once the dog has fully understood what is expected of it, further steps can be added to the dog's Training Program By teaching the dog in small manageable steps that it learns and retains in its long-term memory by latent learning, the dog has such a firm program on what it has been taught that subsequent short training sessions can progress with the dog being confident of what is expected of it. These dogs rise to the challenge of more difficult exercises being taught to it through this well-founded confidence. For instance, by first teaching the dog to Recall Bronze (more on this later) standard, then doing the same exercise over jumps (Bounce), then teaching it to retrieve (Hand), Bounce and Hand.

Dogs dont really howl at the moon,but it just works better when their heads are bent back in that position. It's a way of saying ''hey'' is there anybody out there who is part of my pack. Of course some just howl because they enjoy it.

Too many! -new answer by tiger.alex- I think he personally owns about 20 dogs (think that's what it said on one of the shows, so I might be wrong), but has about 40 at his Dog Psychology center. So.. 60 dogs total? Cesar really loves dogs.

Rottweiler. At the time the movie came out in the 70's there were a small number of this breed in the U.S. Unfortunately, because the breed was not well known by Americans, the movie represented them as the Gate Keepers of Hell.

No, you cannot rent a puppy - the TV commercial was just an advertisement.

A dog can bite a truck tire, however it can't perforate the tire, even a lion could not do that.

No

Because the cold weather makes the bladder more sensitive, and the dog will need to pee more than usual, so its more cooperative

Retrieving is a hard thing to teach a dog. If you are working on that you definitely want to break it down into steps such as picking up the ball, bringing the ball back (it helps to have a leash for this), and dropping the ball.

Most dogs won't drop a ball unless there is a reason for them to do so. Think about it, would you want to give someone your cool new toy in exchange for nothing? Often times if you offer a dog a treat in exchange for the ball he will give up the ball. I would suggest using a good treat such as a bit of cheese, peanut butter, hot dogs bits, or small pieces of chicken.

After a bit your dog should start to willing give up his ball. I would keep some treats in your pocket still, regular dog treats would do.

Tempo training is a generic term that is used to describe a steady state run of moderate to long distance that's performed at a moderate to moderately hard pace.

I don't think any dogs don't actually bark, but you should just train it properly and don't let it have any bad habits or things like that. My dog just sits around all day apart for when i take it for walks!

:D hope I helped!
