I have been able to teach my male gsd everything except "Down". He jumps up on you constantly and he just does not seem to "Get it" when I try to teach him not...
Libby, You need to be telling him *off* as you don't want him jumping on you. Down, means down, as in lie down. If you tell him down, he won't know what to ...
What is the command you use for lay down. When a dog jumps at me or on the furniture we use "Off" That way its totally separate from down. Is she allowed on...
I use mostly hand signals, not words. I use words in conjunction with hand signals when beginning training, and go to simply hand signals later. I have tried...
I asked every dog person i knew tha same question and i got the same answer from all, althought I doubt DARLENE will agree- she may have some other better...

Hi, Just for anyone out there that may think that *spanking* a puppy is the correct way to handle a biting problem in a VERY young puppy, most of us are past...
Reading todays exchanges on this list has driven me to despair. We have genuine responses to questions being given caring list members only for them to be...
I have to agree wtih Darlene... A puppy who does not know that biting/chewing on humans is not exceptable should not be hit (or spanked as someone said) A...

Thanks for all the advice everyone, puppy(no still no nmae yet) is doing ALLOT better, we did have to close off our bed room to keep him from going under the...
My foster dogs, "Moe" and "Sylvia" will now be a permanent fixture in my house. I am adopting them! I am changing their names to "Smith" and "Wesson", because...
Geoff is absolutely correct in what he is saying here. The same motivational training method will not always work for every dog. Dogs, like people, each have...
I got my gsd puppy today. Although it is not the one I was planning on, Hexe is here. Originally we were getting her from another kennel but the pup we were...
Well, congratulations on your new puppy! Hope things work out for you, and I hope the breeder will stand behind the puppy; it is odd that people still put...
She does want us to keep in touch. We don't have a contract w/her. She did get a health certificate and her akc papers so were responsible for her. Which is...
