Dog Training

There is no such thing. All we got was the paper we signed when we picked up our guide dog.. And it has a metal tag with the well known Guide dog School and their phone number. the dog has a Tatoo in it ear??? and is chipped . other than that there is not a certificate you can carry with you.

This is not an easy prospect, but the best you can do is clean as much of the excrement from the carpet as possible with paper towel or disposable rags. When this is done, take a solution of Masengil feminine wash (must be this brand, nothing else works as well), and saturate the area. Have a wet vacuum ready. with a stiff bristle brush, move from the outside in, making the spot smaller as you work. Keep spraying the area, brushing, and vacuuming until all of the excrement is gone. Allow the area to dry. If you notice a stain or smell remains, repeat the process.

Incidentally, the product noted above will remove skunk scent and rodent urine from just about anything as well.

Hi,

A kid is allowed to walk a dog at age 4 as long as a adult is around. But if adult is not around then you have to be 10 and up to walk a dog. But if is a big dog then you must be 12 and up. But if it is a very little dog and if a parent is around then you can be 1 and up to walk the little dog.

it is a good thing to go to the vet but you know what you should maybe try a little trick i use on my dog, well you lay them on their side and press them down until they lie still when you take your hand off and then turn on classical music really loud and just let them lay there for 1 hour and that should be good!

If your pup is eliminating in its crate, the crate may be too big. It should only be large enough for the dog to turn around and lay down. The theory is that he won't mess where he lives. When you leave home give the dog time to go outside. Make sure that he is in the spot that you want him to use. This should be the same spot EVERY time. Then when you get home take him DIRECTLY to the spot that he is to use. When he does, praise him and pet him. NEVER hit your dog for any reason. NEVER rub his nose in it. NEVER call him to you and then hit him. This will teach the dog not to come to you. Each time you leave the house or put him in the crate for over night (or what ever), take him RIGHT to the potty spot. I have used this method for my last two dogs and have had great success. My dogs were trainer in days. Papers didn't work and neither did wee-wee pads. if you still need advice, ask your vet or humane society

If it is separated with it parents then it probaly misses them and its sisters. It is also maybe wondering what is going on and where it is. It will just take atleast 3 weeks for the puppy to be used to you.

You can't train a dog to "go",but you can train it to go outside.

You can relly train any type of dog with this method:

take your dog for frequent walks to let them sense new things so they will leave there sent,lets just say.When your dog goes say a word that will trigger that like pee or well,anything really.Remember never leave your dog in your yard forever because there isn't anything to sent so he won't "go".Always praise your dog for going outside to do it's buissness.Never punish your dog for going inside,it won't help anything.

Get a crate for the puppy but get one with a moveable divider and keep it so they have enough room to be comfy laying down but not enough room that they can go in a corner and not have to sit in it but they won't be able to go for more than 4 hrs 5 max without bein let out reward them when they go outside with small chewy treats like bil jacs bites that's how I trained my puppy and she's 2 and hasn't had an accident in months.

Try asking a vet. It may just be a behavior issue, so there would be nothing wrong in that case.

First you pay six dollars to get the product "First out of the warehouse" then you don't even get it for at least a week - minimum. Then before you even get it you have telemarketers calling you trying to sell you free gas, health insurance and some other junk - at 7:20pm....yeah at night. You think they would wait until you get the product that has taken a week to there, even though you paid extra, to arrive before they try and sell you more junk.

My experience is, yes. It works as advertised.

It seems like I'm one of the first folks to reply about the system as a customer, so I'm happy to provide a few details. First of all, I'm not a professional trainer but I'm 45 and I've had dogs most of my life. About 15 years ago my wife and I got a new dog (shortly after getting married) and went through weeks of traditional obedience training. It worked but it took the full 8 weeks to get just a few basic commands down and we still had all the 'regular' problems like jumping up, bolting, excited peeing, etc.

When our son was born we finally had to give up our very beloved dog because the only way to keep her out of our toddler's face was to keep her locked in another room or in her crate. It just wasn't fair. (A very good friend has her to this day and she's a great dog.)

We recently adopted a new puppy and I bought Don Sullivan's system a few weeks later. There's no rocket science here. There's no 'magic bullet' but the 2 DVD set has resulted in way better, faster, more complete training and a better behaved puppy than I would have thought possible.

Sullivan believes in no-treat training because if you teach a dog to behave for a treat, when there's a distraction that's more interesting than a treat (kids playing with a frisbee, another dog walking nearby, etc.) your dog won't listen. Don't get me wrong, my dog gets treats, just not as part of training.

After just a few weeks of working with my dog, she understands SIT, STAY, DOWN, COME, SIT at a distance, GO TO YOUR BED, GO PEE (imagine a dog that's still a puppy but can go to the bathroom on command), WAIT (similar to a curb command), and more.

I actually answered this Wiki question as the result of a request following some extensive forum posting I did about the Don Sullivan training over at Amazon forums, so if you want lots more discussion about this system, there's more there.

Since this is my first post here I'm not sure how the conversation threading works but I guess if there are follow-up questions, I'll try to look for them and post replies, especially if you have some specific questions about the system I can answer for you.

Another satisfied customer here. I am not familiar with the format of this website and I cannot find the reply that I added to the discussion, so I thought I'd add to this gentleman's message as well:

I was on another website not long ago which had a similar question. I have this product that you are referring to, and I am a big fan. Rather than typing out another reply, I thought I'd copy and paste my post from the other website...

The System that you are referring to is called, Don Sullivan's "Secrets to Training the Perfect Dog System." The System includes two DVDs with 5 hours of instruction (over 70 topics are covered!), a training collar called the "Command Collar," a set of three training lines, and a neat little starter booklet titled, "Quick Start Guide."

I must say that this System is the most comprehensive and effective dog training product I have ever seen and used; and I have tried a lot of products; mostly useless! I really enjoyed watching and listening to Don Sullivan (people apparently call him "The Dog Father") on his DVDs. I was truly impressed by his depth of knowledge of dog behavior, and the techniques he teaches are very simple. He makes so much sense and his methods really do achieve immediate results, if applied as instructed.

Some might think that the success stories on his infomercial are too good to be true, but the "within minutes" changes are real (I've witnessed it for myself!). I really like the fact that almost every problem dog behavior is covered in the DVDs. Even though your dog may not display all these bad behaviors, you can go to the topics that are most relevant to your situation. Don offers realistic solutions to things that you wouldn't have thought solvable.

It is a great quality product, and decent value for money considering the abundance of solid information and instruction included in the DVDs. I think that achieving success with this product comes down to the owner. As Don says himself in his DVDs, he has provided dog owners with everything they need to achieve the relationship with their dogs that they have always dreamed of, now it is up to them. His methods are guaranteed to work (he even offers a 30 day money back guarantee - you won't need it!), as long as you follow what he says and demonstrates.

I think anyone who says that this product didn't work as well as they had hoped, either changed things or didn't apply things thoroughly enough. There's so much dog training advice out there and it's hard not to let your previous opinions about what works best influence you. But, Don's methods are like nothing else out there, so if you can put aside your personal biases, and if you're willing to give his product 100% effort, then you will get 200% back - for you and your dog!

As you can tell, I've got nothing but praise for this product. I'm a big fan. It's not a scam. Don seems like an down-to-earth guy who honestly wants to help struggling owners and their dogs, and he seems to be really tuned in to what works. At last...something that works!

From,

More than satisfied

Hello All,

I am also new to this format so forgive me if I cause a problem with my entry.

There are lots of dog training methods out there, just as there are lots of different types of dogs. What works for one may not work for others. But whether you use treat training, Sullivan's system, or another method, the important thing is to train your dog to be a good citizen. Socialize him and train him properly and you will have a true companion rather than an unruly pet.

Having said that, I echo the comments above about Don Sullivan's training system. My wife and I watched the DVD several times before we decided the method was sound and safe for our new puppy. As with any good training system, there is as much the people need to learn as there is for the dog.

Once we understood the system and decided we could consistently apply the techniques, we fitted our dog with the command collar and went to work. After just two days (about 20 minutes each day) our German Shepherd pup Rocket will now perform a down/stay for as long as we want him to, outdoors, with numerous distractions. He will walk comfortably on-leash, and we are working on off-leash walking, heeling, and a fun game of fetch.

It wasn't painful, there was no yelling, snapping, biting, hard jerking, or anything unpleasant about it. It did not break the dog's spirit. He is every bit as energetic and happy as he was before we started. Sullivan advises to incorporate plenty of play time in with training so the dog can have fun while training.

I have seen a number of comments on other sites saying that Don's method is cruel to the dog. This is not true. The methods are designed to be minimally uncomfortable to the dog and to provide plenty of praise for performing correctly. Most dogs understand what is wanted of them very quickly and therefore don't need strong corrections. This in my opinion is much better than continually feeding the dog treats. As the comment above states, treat training only works when the treat is better than what is distracting the dog. I found this to be true when we started training our dog using treats. Treats make dogs fat and are of limited value. Give your dog a treat at the end of a good play session.

Quite simply, the system works. It's not complicated, cruel or time consuming. Cruel is leaving your dog locked up in a crate for hours at a time because he is not trained well enough to behave when other people come around. Or leaving him alone in a kennel for days at a time because he is not trained well enough to accompany you when you go on trips. Train yourself and your dog to live in harmony and your dog will be the companion you hoped for when you got him.

OK... Here is another one.

Commend collar is plastic prong...In commercial, they don't show that but it is.

Freedom line is just cheap one. Most important thing of this package is DVD.

Before I bought this DVD, I looked up websites. They say he is lier.... we should use treat if we love dog... he exists only in the commercial... or he ran away....blah blah blah. I was confused.

Anyways I took risk. and than what? It is work. simple.

PS. If you oder from official website....shipping gonna take a month.

Me: Hi, I wanna buy this product, but i just wondering that it will work with 5 weeks puppy too? because I have 2 dogs

OfficialWeb: Yeah, It is perfect time to train them.

Me: Good, how about shipment?

OfficialWeb: Normally it takes 4 week from your credit card approved

Me:My puppy gonna be 9 weeks at the time....:(

OfficialWeb: Still nice time to train them.

The yellow color in urine is due to chemicals called urobilins. These are the breakdown products of the bile pigment bilirubin. Bilirubin is itself a breakdown product of the heme part of hemoglobin from worn-out red blood cells. Most bilirubin is partly broken down in the liver, stored in the gall bladder, broken down some more in the intestines, and excreted in the feces (its metabolites are what make feces brown), but some remains in the bloodstream to be extracted by the kidneys where, converted to urobilins, it gives urine that familiar yellow tint.

hope this helps

yes they are very easy to train and if taught can perforn many tricks

Well, you can't really train your dog fast. It takes time to train a dog. You can go to a local animal shelter, and get a video that is free. That help me so much. It trains your dog how to crate train, sit, come to you and to also do all sorts of tricks. Sorry but i forgot the name of it. It talks about dogs health and other things you need to know.

I suppose anything is possible with time and patience :-))

It seems to me that dogs like to raise a leg when they go perhaps if you installed a lamp post in the middle of the litter box it would help? (joke joke)

no that is very mean.what if the dog is just trying to protect its owner,or someone was trying to hurt the dog and it bit back.your question is very stupid.

You can buy puppy training pads or if you cant get any of them use newspaper. If your puppy/dog starts to go on the floor quickly put them on the paper/training pads after a few days if they start going on the paper put them outside after they have been and say: Good boy/Good girl. Eventually you can remove the paper completely and if you see them sniffing put them outside again and say: Good boy/good girl. After a while they can control themselves until you put them outside hope this has helped!!

my lab is a 2 yr old male who is fixed ( dont know if that matters ). he goes to bed outside at 11pm but some nights he can be heard pottering around so i dont think he sleeps right through . in the morning i would wake him at 8 am but he is constantly napping , he is asleep here beside me right now

they can bark for hours and hours

what can you do for your dog when his leg is sore due to jumping off furniture.

It is instinctual for dogs to mark spots to show rival male dogs where their territory ends and begins.

He's distracted, excited, or it's not time to go. Don't let him play, keep him on a leash and give a command like, "Go Potty." If he doesn't go, take him back inside and try again in 10-15 minutes. When he does go, really praise him.
