[tubecakin]

Best thing to do is teach your dog first off not to bite fairly easy to do plenty of videos on here that can help

[SuperSoccerpro5]

One question... if the dog jumps at you and bites you...are you honestly gonna keep moving towards him?? my dog is soooo big and he continuously bites and jumps at me. idk what to do

[kel61599]

my actually dogs bite me when i try to EVEN teach them..... it hurts

[kel61599]

he looks a bit big to b a puppy... anyways thx!!! this worked!! i am gettin paid 20 bucks 4 each trick i teach my neighbors dog rex got this in lyke 3 minutes!

[Truthfinder9802]

[AmberMidge]

Ok, thx I will try this with my puppy. Thx again x

[kateb2106]

I tried this on my 4 month old Springer Spaniel after trying loads of other methods and it worked amazingly. He started to get it after about 10 minutes. Really appreciate this tip!

[MeganVictory]

im currently teaching my dog to lie down with this method and so fa its going great thank you expertvillage keep posting those vids

[Greenfunkeymonkey]

btw expertvilliage this isn't a dam puppy

[thesongzdude12]

i want cheese so bad now!and i sorta hate cheese!

[Dandelions]

I just watched this video about 30 minutes ago, trained my dog in about 15 and posted a video of her learning! She's a 4 month old pug. Thanks expertvillage!

[TheAGdollLuvr]

:( Darn, I have to wait 4 weeks to do any of this. But, Oh well, I can't wait to train my puppy, Claire!

[138DarkAngel]

thanks a lot XD

[klmeto]

I just thought my golden retriever puppy to do that! Thank you so much :)

[lolgirl9513]

My dog doesn't lie down, she just sits! HELP!

[krazbar1]

sit....GOOOOOD!

[mlni1996]

is your dog a mouse?

[southerngirlsountry]

My problem is that my little puppy is vicious when you go to give him the treat.

[ilovecub1]

you can also put your knee up so the dog has to crawl under your leg to get the treat and that usually causes them to lay down while trying to go under

[Coolkid482]

or you can pull their front paws forward

[sunshinedancer84]

this is so bad. she pushes the cheese onto the dog until he falls back. you have to give the command and either repeat it holding the treat on the floor until the dog lays down then give up the treat, or give the command and coax the dog into a lying position and give him/her the treat once he/she is properly positioned.

[1xxjasminexx]

OMG my 12 week old puppy Charlie knows how to sit and lie down because of all your help!!

THANKYOU SO MUCH.

now he just needs to learn how to stay and shake and also go to the toilet on his mat

[sherlockpup]

My dog is also a corgi!!

[miuaia1]

What kind of dog is barto? Pls. tell me.

[batpogo]

hey u know what my puppy is hyper active he will not lie down even for a sec!!!!

and what?your dog likes cheese

[1983Dave1983]

Thank you, Melanie! We just got a puppy and training book. I thought I'd YouTube it as the book was exactly like your method apart from it didn't mention putting the treat between their paws. Before the paw method he just took a bow lol. I'm confident your method will have him down on command soon :-)

[53Playmate]

im trying to teach my puppy this all he wants to do is bite and play

[misslauramightymay]

Thank you :) Brilliant dog training :) x

[boriump]

oh man my puppy has learned

ty man

[gallogian21]

thank you so much Melanie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IFerretZ]

My puppy does not go for the treat like yours. All she does is stare at the treat and try to get it if it comes close but she does not move at all... HELP!!!

[gR3EnXxXdEi]

but i really recommend you get your shar peis a botox

[emzy5490]

@Loppetz Are You A Complete idiot, not all dogs are loctose intolerent, only some are, most dogs love cheese and can have it for treats. When the puppy is young and it goes to the vet for it's injections you ask the vet then or the vet will tell you not all dogs are.!!!!.

[braxman100]

ok so he loves his treats... but... when his nose touches the ground he puts his butt up so i start over but after about 2 times of trying he is not intrested in his treat so he just walks off

[emzy5490]

@braxman100 I have a jack russell puppy who has an attention span of 5 seconds, it took me 20 mins to get him to lie down using a treat for the first time. Let him lick the treat as you move your hand down, as you move you hand down and he follows move it towards you, lett him lick the treat the whole time. For a treat he will love try meatballs, but the ones you can eat cold or cooked for the

[emzy5490]

@braxman100 sorry wasnt finished lol...first few times just so he gets used to the action then go back to dog treats cause that way he does it for the bit of meatball (dont use a full one everytime:P) and then he will know what he has to do to get the treat and will know and wont get in interested :) thats the rest of it :P

[rbless]

loppetz you idiot. some dogs are lactose intolerant. you cant group an entire species to one dietary rule. they'll know if that dog is when he shits everywhere after dairy treats. if theyre all lactose intolerant how do they feed as babies? as for the video, next time put the captions over the lady and not the hand and dog. i dont care about what her face is doing, i want to see the training session.

[kardovakaterina]

it really works..great!! :-) although it will take a few more days for my Border collie to do it without any treat :-)) He is already going down very quickly.

It's amazing how such small things make you happy :-))

[kardovakaterina]

nicely explained and very calm.

I will definitely try this tomorrow with my 2 month old border collie. He is a quick learner..have only had him for 4 days :-))

[asitmc]

oh my god, I just used this method and taught my 2year old shih tzu to lie down..I can't believe he and I could do that...afterall, he wasn't stupid...........I am surprised......

[blackexpo03]

it work it works it works

[blcl94]

This really does work. I had a hard time to get my schnoodle to lay down. He wanted to just bend over. I tred putting it between his front paws and after a few trys he got it. I used cheese and summer sausage for treats. He really liked it. Sometimes I use liver flavor treats. I change it up. So now my littel 3 month old schnoodle will sit, fetch and lay down. Im so excited to get him to do this. Thanks

[rubybunny1]

what are some good treats for puppies? I tried the training reward but it made my dog have bathroom problems. I use milkbones, but they are hard to break for a simple training treat. I used to use all natural baked cookes for puppies but now those cookies are too small for poor Chloe. I'll have to look around the pet store to see what i can find.

[MillieTiasMummy]

Hey i just use his normal food as treats, and i give him (small amouts of cheese in with his normal food to spice it up a bit for him. I didnt no you could use chese until inoticed that expertvillage uses it. bearing in mind i only give him small amounts and not much. i only use it so he doesnt expect just his normal food all the timeand he never knows what he is going to get. (you can also try proper dog chocolate buttons) there good as long as your dog like them.or simply use bits of meat. :)

[fire54444]

@MillieTiasMummy CHOCOLATE BUTTONS?!!!! ARE THEY MADE WITH REAL CHOCOLATE BECUZ IF IT IS THEN YOUR DOG MIGHT GO BYE BYE!! please reply.... lolz although you wouldn't use chocolate anyways cuz it's bad for the dog... just to let you know

[MillieTiasMummy]

hey, there dog chocolates not human ones lol

[beebobobop123]

i used this Milk-Bone crunchy treats they are wonderful for training

[mingkee007]

my pup is 5 month its a labrador but she's very wild

[MillieTiasMummy]

I have started this training today with my dog. But i have found that moving the treat forward just makes him stand (everytime) BUT if i just lower the treat to the floor by his paws and wait he goes down everytime

[LallipopGirl]

Thanks, im doing great with my puppy. But im afraid that my puppy has aged to 18 weeks since i posted that message. But i would love to help you. My puppy knows sit, stay, lay, spin, dance, and beg. But dont worry, maltese are show dogs, so they learn fast, and very good. I would love to help you, just tell me what you need help with, and ill help. To get you dog to lay down, make him sit, then slide the treat stright to the ground. then go forward between his paws, like your gonna touch his...

[MillieTiasMummy]

Well im doing very well with his lie down now and i only started today, What should be the next thing i move on to? after i have mastured the lie down?

[rubybunny1]

i think you should maybe move on to the roll over, roll over is close to a lie down.

Btw, what treats do you use for your puppy? I am trying to find healthy treats but i can't seem to find them. Read my other message below to read the story

[LallipopGirl]

belly. I hope this helps. Read the one below this first so this part makes sense.

[LallipopGirl]

sorry, i ment above

[LallipopGirl]

i just got a new puppy on sat. and he is very hard to train, but im taking it really really slow, cause hes 10weeks old, and a male maltese, so.... its no prob. just trying to make sure im doing it right.... but i guess everyone has their own style of doin it.

[MillieTiasMummy]

Hey how are you doing with your puppy? I have just got a Rottie pup who is 13 weeks old, I have managed to get him to let me no when he needs to go out for a wee (most of the time) he is hardly having any accidents now. I have just got him to sit but i need to keep it up. Im going to introduce the Down (seems hard) And ive just started teaching him to walk on the lead today. How are you doing, Would be good to help each other out? seeming as though our puppies are near same age. Sammy

[rubybunny1]

Does your puppy know how to give a paw?

[MillieTiasMummy]

@rubybunny1 Hey, no he only knows sit, and working on lie down, he is about 90% hoursetrained with the odd accident. He is 13 weeks old. What tricks does your dog know?

[rubybunny1]

My puppy knows sit, shake a paw, a little bit of a lie down. Just one question, when you said a Rottie pup, is that a rottweiler?

I got my shih tzu puppy May 15th and she is 100% housetrained, She sleeps in a crate at night and she never makes a peep. Our dogs are differnt, yours is 13 weeks, so he is about 3 or 4 months.

[MillieTiasMummy]

Hey yeh i meant a rottweiler Do you leave your pup downstairs in a crate?

[zzlikezz]

kikopup is better just watch her video its very good

[MillieTiasMummy]

@zzlikezz The different with kiko though is she uses the clicker training- some of us dont use that method. Although i have been watching her vids and i will continue to do so.

[Loppetz]

Dogs cant eat cheese! it contains lactose dogs n cats r lactose intolerant!!! shes posioning the puppy!

[denyag]

but i feed my husky cheese and he has no problems,

[PimpinFilms]

dogs aren't lactose intolerant, when their puppies all they drink is milk...

[Searchmanclone]

very true

[thegreenwindninja]

then how come cats drink milk

[Loppetz]

cows milk contains lactose and yes they are :L

[allnamestakenhaha]

can someone help me find a video on how to teach a dog to roll over i have a 9 week old yellow labrador that can sit follow with no leash and give me his paw but he wont lie down.

[rasmuskjaerpoulsen]

you maybe want to learn it to lie down before roll over....

[rubybunny1]

i can make a video explaining how i taught my dog how to lie down

[MillieTiasMummy]

@rubybunny1 Go for it :)

[rubybunny1]

How old is your puppy, mine is a 9 month old pure bread shih tzu puppy and her name is Chloe.

[kungpaui]

hey, i went to a trainer coz i have a 2 year old belgian malinois. i asked him if he could still train my dog but he said it's impossible coz it's too old, unless he uses a spike collar. is that true? i don't want to hurt the dog at all but it would be nice to have him trained. to have him hurt though i don't think i'd be up to it.

[nickmonkey22]

i am sorry but it is ture

[n1balla]

you should get Anthony Sullivan's dog training system

[sred14]

Can we push the bottom of our dog butt down to sit then push his head so he lies down?

[GuitarRHCPfan]

My cousin has a boxer blue heeler, and he is extremely smart with learnt behaviours (ie "tricks") he learned how to sit, shake in one day, about an hour or so. He just learned to roll over in like 2 hours, it just takes knowing how to control the treets.

[EliasOwnage95]

kinda strange how the dog doesnt have a tail O.O xD

[MrsLauraEfron1507]

good (voice of women) *annoying*

[yummyykaramel]

when do you start saying lay down. or what do you say?

down?

lay?

and how many times a day and how long are you suppose to train them.

I am getting a golden retiver soon (June/09).

[spyteam123]

does not work fuck

[barbie22sun2]

if u said it dosent work well i havent tried it yet but she said in the end it well take sometime

[Poxes]

i have a chihuahua and i can get him to sit but when i lower the treat to the ground, he startes at it and wont lay down.. =[ and sometimes uses his paw to try and get it.

[EliasOwnage95]

i dont have a chihuahua but my cousin has one and its chihuahua papillon.

u just need to get it over his/her head and when he/she looks up at it he/she will sit =)

response if it worked , hope it helped

[somu619]

thanx hope it might work

[Zerdafoxy]

I think this is wrong. You are telling the dog to sit and when he does just that you don't reward him. Talk about confusion.

[hotyboy11]

ok i tried that on my friends little puppie and he starts barking and giving me attitude and he does it less and less

[renatabrpe]

I've tried this and she will just stare at the treat as if to wait until I bring it up to her and if I try the other technic, she will walk back. Any other tips. She picks up on what I want her to do pretty quickly, she know "sit", "come", "speak" and "fetch".

[9199135]

I have the same problem with my corgi as well .. lol

[Honey2600]

thanks for the video cuz my dog is so small and she just wont lay down so ill use this info and see if it works!:):D

[MasterJ0sue]

this is a good puppy training show we are going to use this because are new puppy is the kind of smart dogs
