Q. I have a little pug named Minnie and I am wanting to train her to wear when I say one she will move her front right foot and then when I say 2 she will move her left front foot, then when I say 3 she will move her right back foot, then when I say 4 she will move her left back foot. Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? Or any websites?
A. I'm not sure, but i'm guessing it would be something along the lines of teaching "paw" for the front 2, then going on from there. Maybe touching the leg to make it lift, the rewarding with a treat?
How do you train your dog to not be aggressive against other dogs?
Q. I brought my 2months old puppy to the dog park to get her to interact with other dogs and when other small dogs got close to her she just growled and barked at them. Shese a Chihuahua/Terrier mix. I will try to bring her to that same dog park every week so she is actually used to it.
But is there anything else i can do to get her used to it or to 'tame' her to be comfortable with other dogs?

A. A dog park is no place for a puppy that young.
You don't know the health status of the other dogs, your puppy could pick up deadly disease.
Dog parks are HORRIBLE for socialization.
Stay away from park for now and find a good puppy class that makes sure owners keep up with vaccines, health checks, and keep the facility clean.

How do you train your dog to stop jumping on people?
Q. What are some non-violent methods you can use to train a dog to stop jumping on people? My dog is friendly, but he gets very excited when he first sees people, and he jumps up on them. He's a puppy, but he's already a large dog, and I don't want him to jump on people, especially children, because he could knock them down. So far, I push him down and tell him "No," but this hasn't really helped. Does anyone have any suggestions?
A. This is a very simple fix, especially for a larger breed or mix.
You do need to get everyone involved in this fix for a short time.
Any time your dog jumps up on you simply thrust your knee forward into your dogs chest and give the command "OFF". The moment your dog is off you give a quick treat and praise the command with "GOOD OFF" so as to teach your dog.
"NO" is to general and can mean too many things. Be precise at what you want your dog to do.
We are not talking about kicking your dog or harming your dog here, but hearing a little "UMPH" is not a bad thing.
Just be sure to aim for the chest so as to not harm your dog.
You do need to have anyone in your household to do the same thing and even inform friends visiting family, or neighbors to do the same thing so that your dog doesn`t start to believe it`s ok to do it with another party.
After a short time you will be able to just give the command "OFF" with whom ever your dog attempts it with. Just always remember to praise your dog when he or she listens. you don`t always have to give a treat.
Good Luck
