How to train a new dog?

hi everyone,

hi i have a new dog he is about 2 and a half and is a blue heeler cross with a terrier.
he has a ball obsession a really big obsession with his ball.

now if you dont throw the ball to him he starts to nip, he is well behaved generally. but he has had no training he cannot sit on command or anything like that.
is there anyone out there that has any tips of training

There is a lot of dog training information available. You will find everything from training a new puppy, to dealing with a barking dog, and just about everything in between. This information will indeed be helpful and necessary if you have a new puppy in your home.

Many people believe that they can housebreak a puppy by "rubbing their nose in it" when they have had an accident. This does not work. All it really does is scare and humiliate your best friend and can actually make the problem worse.

The key to housebreaking your dog is to designate an area especially for this purpose. You should bring your dog to this area frequently at first, eventually they will have success, and you should praise him for it. Whenever you dog is successful in using the designated area, you should offer him a treat.

Each and every time you bring your dog to the correct area, you should use a keyword. Eventually your dog will associate this keyword with what your expectation is. If your dog has an accident, you should bring him immediately to this spot, and use the chosen keyword. Remember to be patient because this will take some time.

Training a dog to stop barking can at times be complicated, and quite time-consuming. One of the most important things to be remembered is to not reward your dog for barking. This will only reinforce and encourage the barking. Continuing to yell at your dog to be quiet may seem to your dog to be the answer because you yourself are barking back.

Proper socialization, a bit of obedience training, and the right amount of attention at the right time can help curb a barking problem. There is plenty of information available about this problematic issue. The most important thing to remember once again is to be patient because this will take some time to correct.

Many dogs enjoy digging and this is especially true for Labrador Retrievers. There many reasons that a dog may dig. Some of these include boredom, need for warmth or cooling, shelter, and even natural instinct. Although your dog does not see anything wrong with this, you certainly will.

If you have a large enough area in your yard, you may choose to designate a specific spot where your dog is allowed to dig. If this is not the case, there are quite a few techniques which will work to keep your dog from digging. When you spend time with your dog, and you see him begin digging, try spraying him with the hose, and firmly telling him NO! Another method that seems to work for many dog owners is to bury several inflated balloons in the area where your dog generally digs. When your dog begins digging, the balloons will pop, and startle your dog. This will generally be enough to make this behavior undesirable.

There are volumes of books available that are loaded with dog training information. If you are considering getting a new puppy, or adopting an older dog, you will definitely want to purchase one of these invaluable books.

Blue Heeler Training Tips Q&A

akita puppies?

I'm getting an akita puppy next week and this question is for people who have had puppies akita. I would like some training advice for them, I made a lot of research on akitas and there is no trick to trade? I have a mix of black lab blue heeler one told me that the blue heeler has its own mind and are more difficult to train and we started early and is doing very well now. I have some good advice from the owners of heeler now I'd like some of the owners Akita, thanks in advance!

Glad to know you've done your homework, but if they do not come across these two resources, you should check out http://www.akitas-4-u.com which is a website maintained by one of the most knowledgeable people in Akita in the country. She also has a book that is the best single reference available on race - is called Akita Treasure of Japan, vol. 2. It is available through several sources, including (Bouyet Barbara) the author's web site for the book. I'm not at all convinced that the thought of the "alpha-beta-Omega" model is the best way to approach your new puppy. Rather, I encourage you to think more in terms of "head of the family. "As head of the family, you are responsible for establishing the rules, no doubt, but more importantly, it provided the resources and is responsible for safety and security of their positions. The "nothing in life is free" technique mentioned above is a good way to establish itself as the source of resources and authority. However, I do not recommend doing the alpha roll with your little puppy. If it is a very submissive dog, you can get away with it, but why? If your dog is like my uncle was when he was a very young puppy, try to do the alpha roll is just as likely to result in aggressive behavior is not. It also wants to submit to you willingly, not as a result of being forced. When you were a young child, was there an aunt or another female relative would insist to hug and kiss you, even if you do not want? The alpha roll is kind of similar to. Certainly, you want to be able to handle your dog, and touch any part of your body, but there are better ways to do it. Make a game of it - while you're playing with your puppy, soft and briefly hold a hearing, for example, "ear" and let go. Do the same with the legs and tail. Also, play "gotcha" with your puppy. In front of your puppy, very gently take a cheek in each hand, look him in the eye and say "gotcha" in a playful voice. The work on education to make an "envelope" and take the opportunity to give them a belly rub soft or scratch on the chest. This is done to build confidence that they are not going to hurt when you are in a vulnerable position, like lying on his back. We this far with our man, and now it is almost 3, I can almost shoot him, give him hugs and contain, in general, he refuses without him. This is not only a measure of confidence, but is also useful when you want to brush him, or foot adjustment, for example. This is not a breed of dog that can force compliance without consequence. Rather, you have to earn the trust and agreement. You have to have the dog with respect to the direction and control, but very strong methods are not the best way to achieve that. This does not means that you never discipline your dog, but if you do not have their trust and respect, we will not be very successful in that, either. Just keep in mind that when this dog grown, which will weigh between 90 and 120 pounds, has reflexes much faster than you, and much, much sharper teeth. If taught through hard and aggressive methods may be rewarded with return. This is an exciting and challenging race incredible itself. I've had dogs since 1979, but have learned more about dogs in the past two or three in all previous meetings. Not only read everything you can about Akita, but the dog's behavior, communication, training, etc, you can. Note that not everything you read will be of equal value or authority, but widely read, however. I think that will help you better understand your dog and enjoy his or her anymore. I can find books on canine communication of particular interest because Akitas screen and use the full range of body language available to the dogs. Stanley Coren's book, "Talking Dog" is good, like those of Turid Rugaas on calming signals, as are increasing. Dogwise is a great online source for books about dogs. Finally, note that, though well bred, raised, trained and socialized Akita is rarely aggressive towards people can not always tolerate other small animals such as dogs and cats may represent a kind of prey. They are like a master race and territorial, so unless you have an isolated place in the country, never let them loose, and then perhaps not. Wherever you go, that becomes part of its territory, and the invaders will be discussed. This could include your neighbor's cocker spaniel, who will not put you in good condition, and you can stop your dog being declared dangerous and stop reading. Fortunately, they make great indoor dogs, if you're willing to put up the spill. They housebreak quickly, and have very little odor. Crate training is highly recommended. If you will keep your dog outside a securely fenced area is a necessity. Whatever you do, do not leave the dog outside on a leash or a run line in a situation in other dogs, children or strangers can get to it, since it is almost a guaranteed recipe for disaster. There are a lot of online groups Akita owner. I urge to find one or two of them (some are better than others) and come together. In this way, you can tap a lot of experience. Akita owners tend to be quite passionate about their dogs, and are generally willing to share their knowledge. Good luck, and I wish you well with your puppy. If you ever want to email a question, I'll do my best to respond.
