I'm so glad I found these videos! I will be getting my first companion in January and really could use some good training tips. Is eight weeks a good age to start with clicker training too? And can both training methods be used at times: with clicker and without? Or should one just stick to either or in everything?

[eHowPets]

You can definitely do clicker training at that age. You might want to just start with the clicker before you move on to not using it. Report back on how it goes!

Do you think I can train my 8 week old bluetick pup to be a good walker. My wife wants to be able to take her on walks and I do live next to a large field so plenty of opportunity with no cars.I have heard these can be stubborn and it isour first dog but she seems really good and we are giving as much excercise and play as possible somedays two hours somedays only one but she seems really good in our home let me know if you think we can use this method to train her to walk well with us.

[eHowPets]

Absolutely you can! Some breeds might be a little more excitable and need a little more time/patience so just be prepared for those possibilities. Blueticks are particularly smart so she should adapt well as long as you show her that you're the leader. Just be sure to keep her on the leash in that field to make sure she doesn't run off! Let us know how things go

[iboone99]

She doesnt seem to focus on me easily when I call her name as she is pulling even though she knows her name so it is difficult to switch direction so I have been stopping and saying stop until she stops and then I say lets go and start walking again but she most often starts pulling again. Do youhave any suggestions?

[eHowPets]

It's definitely tricky to have her in "training" mode when she wants to be in "hunting" mode (like Blueticks are the majority of the time). She's still young and it's important to keep the patience while trying to teach her commands and obedience. There are some really great additional articles about training Blueticks on the ehow site, such as this one: ehow . com/how_6368247_train-bluetick­-coonhound.html

No such thing as a dog who doesn't listen. Only a dog that isn't trained.

[linkaqt1]

THANKYOU! You actually use dogs who aren't trained yet to show how to train them. Other youtubers show you how it's done with trained dogs.

[rockenjoshy]

What if your dog doesn't move forward, but resists? Treats don't get her moving either.

[ElRancholo2]

My dog acts MUCH better on a leash than this.

Its my first dog and it only took me one or two sessions to have a BETTER dog on a leash than this.

This whole thing about constant rewards for what the dog should be doing anyways is nothing but junk and makes things more difficult for dog owners and probably contributes to thousands of dogs being put down by frustrated owners.

good garl

[Eugene Oliver]

That's what I'm saying! I can't stand how hot she is.

[korynnininm]

thanks for the vid my dog is a pit bull ( very gentle) and if i look like i don't have control over my dog people freak out also any tips to keep them from jumping or how to rain them not to?

if i get any comments on why pit bulls are horible i will report u and have your accout shut down!

[sandesh lamsal]

This sort of movie is the reason I check out Youtube. I always chuckle very hard.

HOWEVER most pet owners are slowly KILLING their pet dogs - without understanding it... The garbage commercial dog food companies insert into dog food brings about cancer malignancy and makes pet dogs pass away early. I came to understand the tough way. My doggie died at 6.

To avoid wasting your animal's life you have to look at Double Life Dog Diet (Google it.) I'm very glad I did!

Victoria is hot I would do as I was told

[MrRasorci1]

I think your puppy wants to be the alpha pup. You need to take control and let your puppy know you mean business but in a nice way. I would suggest taking your puppy out for small walks everyday and when it needs to go to the bathroom to get it used to being on the leash. Let your puppy know it is a fun experience and that he/she has nothing to worry about. If you don't mind, you might want to try putting your puppy in a harness to make it less stressful. I hope this helped. :)
