The first thing you need to do is buy a supply of dog treats. Make sure it is something your dog likes and wants. After this take them and your dog and go into a quiet room that is free of any noise or things that may distract your dog.

Now you want to take a treat and hold it just above the dog’s nose. Slowly raise the treat above the dog, and the dog should look up also. When you sit down, he will do so as well so that he can keep the treat in sight. You don’t yet want to give any commands.

As your dog sits down with you, quickly praise him and give him the treat. After the dog eats the treat, repeat the process again. You want to stand up again, raise the treat over and above his nose, and then sit down. The dog will begin to sit down with you faster. After this you should take a short break.

Now you want to repeat what you did before, except this time you want to tell the dog to sit. When your dog complies, praise him, but don’t give him a treat this time. Just praise him. Repeat the process again, and this time give your dog the treat. Keep doing this randomly.

As your dog begins to understand, you can begin giving the command in different locations. Depending on your dog, you may have to offer them food a few times when sitting in new locations. You want to randomly treat you dog. Don’t give him a treat each time he complies.

The goal is to teach your dog that sometimes he will get treats and sometimes he won’t. The dog will begin to sit each time you tell him to in order increase the chances of him getting the treats. Make sure you try a variety of locations so that your dog will get used to following your commands no matter where you are.

Teaching your dog to site is a fairly basic command. Be patience if your dog doesn’t immediately obey. It will take time and practice in order for them to get used to it. Just keep trying, and eventually they will understand.

My West Highland White Terrier used to be a nightmare in the mornings. As soon as he would hear the newspaper come through the letterbox, he would rush downstairs, growling and barking like crazy. And this would be a good hour before I wished to get up. If you find yourself in a similar situation and scream “How do I stop my dog from barking?!”, then let me be of assistance.

Let us first establish why dogs bark the way they do. Barking is their verbal communication, and in the same way that our tones of voice can reflect our moods, barking can be responsible for several social purposes. For example, it can be a way to warn people, a way to greet people, and just plain old excitement. You cannot quell this natural instinct, but you can control it to a large extent.

1. A training collar

You can purchase a training collar for your dog. Each of these collars give off a small vibration, activated by remote control, to stir the dog’s attention. This is a neat way of training your dog through Pavlovian methods, and you don’t have to move a muscle. These collars typically retail for around $100, but can be relatively cheap for what the results they produce.

2. Use verbal commands

Dogs can usually be trained the traditional way, with a stern verbal command relaying whether an action is correct or incorrect. By tapping certain parts of their body in conjunction with the correct tone and language, repetition can result in modified behaviour. This is certainly a cheaper and more natural option.

3. Bribe the mutt!

You can stop the noise immediately by giving the dog a treat or a toy to play with. Obviously if the canine’s mouth is full, they will be incapable of barking at the same time. Although this is a bit of a quick fix method, it can be particularly useful at a delicate time of the day, such as night-time. You can of course play with your dog afterwards.

Although there are increasingly technological methods to training your dog, the more natural methods remain time-tested and arguably more ethical. Learning to train your dog helps you develop a valuable skill, as well as the respect — rather than the fear — of your pet. Persistence and repetition in the short term will reap great rewards in the long-term.

The purpose of this article is to improve the public’s knowledge about dogs, the Dachshund in particular. Many people decide that they want a dog based off of appearance alone. While this may not be a terrible thing to do if the person has the ability to accommodate all types of dogs, for some individuals the care for specific types of dog breeds is not possible. The best way to avoid any surprises after the adopting or purchase of a dog is to understand the breed and what it takes to care for it. We will go over some of the basic characteristics of the Dachshund to help you get a better understanding of the Dachshund as a breed and possibly a new addition to your family.

The Dachshund comes in six varieties which are all similar except for the range of sizes from about 11 lbs to about 26 lbs. The breed is known for its long back and short stature. Years ago the Dachshund was commonly affected by back problems, however these days there are many breeders which have a strong, stable stock less often plagued with back issues. This breed is moderate maintenance with regard to exercise and not picky with for food. They are small but very large in vocal capacity and protectiveness. They will not hesitate to use their small but tooth-filled muzzles. Dachshunds make great companions as well as independent creatures.

We hope that we have assisted you I your quest for knowledge and understanding of the Dachshund. Please look below for some additional resources. The first thing you will want to do is see what the Dachshund looks like. The next thing you will need to do is house train your Dachshund. We find that one of the most common reasons that someone will get rid of Dachshund’s is that they are not house trained. There is a wonderful manual that can be used and you will find the link below. Lastly we want you to show off your new Dachshund. There is a wonderful online dog community complete with a forum for you to post pictures to. Check it out.

The key to success is to love your Dachshund and nothing will help you achieve that more than bonding with them. Spend time with your Dachshund and make them a happy and healthy addition to your family.
