Well I know exactly what kind of freek you have. I just went through the same thing with my German shorthair. I spent 150.00 for a two hour sesion with a dog trainer. It was the best 150.00 I ever spent. If you go that route make sure you hire one that will come to your home. If the money is not avalable here is what we have done so far. First let take play time out of the discussion. They need that and it is somewhat undisaplained.
1.) Buy yourself a training collar (choke collar) Never chain him up with it though. Only use it while training. Walk your dog every day. If you don't have much time buy a dog backpack with weights. He needs to burn off some of that energy. All training should start with a walk. He may freek out the first time you hook up to the choak collar. Quick tuggs and release is how you get your point across. As you walk his head should be even with your left leg. If he gets ahead of you give him a qoick jerk back into position. Your arm will be tired the first walk but within a mile he WILL be walking by your side. Use one word calm commands. halt = stop - this is usually combined with sit. When you come to an intersection or just want him to stop say halt with a quick jerk on the collar. Say sit and push his but down if you need to. Only say commands once. This is very important. If you say sit and he does not, don't say sit again. Push his butt down until he sits. Then say good sit (prase). Use your legs to push him away if he is crowding you and a tug if he wanders to the side. walking is the biggest step in YOU becoming the alpha dog. When you bring him back in the house make sure you enter first. Soon when you get the choke collar out he will be excited, because he knows he is going for a walk.
2.) Door training. Never enter your house and great your dog ignore him at firstuntil he is calm. if he jumps on you push or knee him down. When he calm a little then greet him. What you need to practice is haveing someone come to the door. Have someone knock on the door. I'm sure the dog will run right to the door. using your finger to point tell him back. when he is back a ways or maybe given are you would like him go ahead and open the door. When he comes up point and tell him back again while leaving the person outside. then try to open the door again. This will yake some practice and always do it after a walk.(less energy during training). There is a lot more that the trainer did with us and again they are worth the money. I'm sure that you can get these two down. There is never a need to abuse your dog and it is not effective without emotional side effects. You can become the alpha and they will love you more and obay your commands. Do not stray from your goal. If you don't want him on the couch. never let him on the couch. so think about things like that befor you decide. no cuddling once in a while on the couch. go to the floor with him to cuddle.
Good luck. It is pretty easy. In two hour we had the shorthair and a beagle walking by our side, halting and sitting on command. The door game (as we call it). Submitting and trimmed their toenails (which would usually take 5 people) Comming in from out doors. Plus listening to other commands (pointing and saying down to get off the couch.
Good luck again
First, make sure he's getting lots of exercise. Tons and tons of exercise. Crating is good to use as a "time out" if he's getting too crazy, but if he's being left in there for hours at a time, you can expect this problem to get worse rather than better. Being in the crate won't help teach him how to behave himself when he's out of the crate, plus he's going to be nutsy from being so cooped up.
Second, make sure that you look for opportunities to reward your dog when he is behaving the way you want, and making sure that he is NOT being rewarded when he is not behaving the way you want.
For example, if he jumps on people, make sure that no one ever under any circumstances upon penalty of death (okay, maybe not that far) ever pets him unless he is sitting politely. Only have him greet new people on leash, and if you have to, step on the end of the leash to prevent him from jumping up (just the act of jumping up is rewarding for him). Then ignore him until he's sitting politely. Try this for the first time when things are very calm and not when six new people come through the front door.
Check out the article below for some more help on how to ask him for polite behavior around the house. If you haven't already taught him obedience behaviors like Sit and Down, I'd highly recommend taking him to a Basic Obedience class.
I couldn't say why he's panting so much. It could be a medical issue where he should see a vet. If you're in a warmer part of the country, it could be because the weather is getting nice. And panting can also be a indicator of stress in a dog, so if you see him panting at the same time that he's being confined or scolded, be aware that he may be trying very hard to do the right thing and just doesn't understand what you're asking of him.
10 months old is still a baby puppy, even if he looks like a big dog now, kind of of like a 10 or 12 year old kid. Help him learn the rules now, and you'll be rewarded with a fantastic companion as he gets older.My new puppy is crazy what do i do?
Additionally to trainning, taking him to dog parks, where he can interact with other dogs would be good. There he can learn about canine social structure and proper behavior from his peers who speak dog. Good thing also is that its free. Also it will wear him out and you will have quiter nights.
Your puppy has many issues which would be best taken care of by enrolling him in a dog obedience class. The class will teach you how to get control of your dog and help establish you as the pack leader ALPHA. Go to the AKC web sight, click on clubs, click on club search..enter your state. Most clubs offer dog obedience classe and cost 1/2 of the pet store classes
train the dog let it knoq your the master and you have to pay it enuff attetion but not too much
What did you expect??? And why did you even get this dog??? This is typical retriever puppy behavior. If you can't afford or are not willing to properly train your dog and spend time with it, please turn him over to a retriever rescue so he can be re-homed.
Well U Should Like Traim=n Him Or Her Or Just Spank it that Worked With Mine
Sorry you're having so much trouble with your puppy. You need to spend time with him training him...easier said than done but it will help. Most likely he's bored and when dogs are bored they will find ways to entertain themselves and we might not like what they do. Make sure you give him plenty of exercise. Take him to the park and let him play with other dogs. When he does something wrong let him know he is being disobedient by scolding him or spanking him. If you can't do it yourself there are training programs you can go to with your dog. Usually Petsmart or Petco offer puppy classes. They will go through the basics with you and your dog. Also, you can ask your vet for recommendations. Believe me you are not alone. My dog is 15 months old and is a bit of a lunatic but by spending time with her, training her and making sure she gets exercise, she's become a great companion. GOOD LUCK!
go to your local pets mart and they can usually train them but dont wait to long or else it will be harder to train him caz he will think that he is aloud to act like that. GOOD LUCK!
well what you should do is try to hit the dog with the newspaper or your flips flop. show no mercy if the puppy nows that you wont do anything everytime he is being bad he is going to keep on doing it. you got to show the dog that what he or she is doing is wrong and when you punish him dont pet him or giving treats. i know you will feel bad but later on when the dog is going to jump at someone he or she will think twice. and if what i told fails go the dog whisperer Cesar Millan he would know what to do.
you haven't met our dog yet,Tito!!!
I have had a dog like that mabe the dog is just happy that it ts in a new home just givi it some time!!!
