Can someone help with basic training for dogs?

I can't seem to train my 3 1/2 year old Chihuahua mixed terrier. Treats and training books aren't helping....She barks, growls and try to attack everyone she at view. She won't go at your pace and when you stop before crossing the street, she still tries to go causing the leash/collar to choke her. Books aren't helping and I have no money for professional training. I believe I almost tried everything.

These problems sound more than just basic obedience. There are about 10 problems in there, that one can not answer in 2 paragraphs or so. You really need to enroll in a dog training class. Petsmart has a great program and relatively cheap.

Also as a side tip, you may want to get a gentle leader. It is a tool for pulling, and agression. It works just like a horse harness; wherever the head goes the body will follow. Once you sign up for a dog training class, have the trainer fit the gentle leader on the dog and show you how to use it. http://www.gentleleader.com/pages.cfm?id=17 Again it is a tool not a magic wand. Avoid a collar and especially a choker when walking her; you can do permiment neck damage.

I am going to take my pup to petco to get him, his basic training and i was wondering what is included in the basic training?

Answer
sit, stay, come, heal, leave it, drop it, stay with a 20 foot lead, stay while the owner walks away, etc

also a lot of socialization around strangers and other dogs.

I took my dog to Petsmart, but I would assume they are fairly similar. I had an amazing trainer that really listened to the class' ideas for their pups. My dog was fine with socialization but not good with loud noises. So we worked on that a lot. I was working on having my dog CGC certified and my trainer helped me a lot with that as well.

How do I train my dog basic skills?

Q. I have an Alaskan Husky, and he's about 7 months old, but I have problems with him about staying put. I don't know how to train him because it seems hard to get him to pay attention. I've ran out of ways, and perhaps there are better techniques... please help!

A. Well, right now he's still a puppy, which means he'll be hyperactive and have a tough time paying attention. Still, if you're consistent, he should start picking up your commands after a while.

I like training by positive reinforcement. This means rewarding him for good behaviour. Be careful with punishment. Never whack your dog, especially with your hand, or he will become afraid of your hands.

It looks like you're training your dog to stay. I trained my dogs by keeping a treat in my hand, commanding the dog to stay and then moving away. Once I called her, she was allowed to come. If she came early, she didn't get the treat. If she waited until I called her, she got a treat.

How much does Petco's Basic Dog Training Class cost?

Q. We just adopted a 5 month old lab mix from an animal shelter and would like to bring her to training classes. Anyone know for about how much the basic training classes at Petco cost?

(I know they vary store to store, but I'm just looking for approximately how much the classes usually run for.)

A. Mine cost 155 dollars. I live in Massachusetts.

Just a warning, classes at Petco do NOT work. I also took my 6 month old lab mix which I got from a shelter, it's a low budget class, not taken very seriously by staffers. I'm sure they vary but if I were you I'd invest the extra 50-60 dollars in getting a reputable trainer at a reputable business. I enrolled my dog in puppy classes with a place voted Best of Boston for 5 straight years and what surprised me was the price was 240.00 the class was much more professional, they provided clickers to train with, online videos, handouts, and lots of patience and a much better work space. If I were you I'd research another place first! I hope this helps... good luck and congrats with your new dog!

Does anybody know what are the basic questions one is given for a dog training interview?

Q. It's for PetSmart,I'm going to apply to be a dog trainer so I figured you guys could help. Thanks!

A. I would figure they would ask you about your dog training experience and why you feel you are qualified.

Are there universal hand signals in dog training when it comes to cueing basic obedience commands?

Q. If not universal, what are the most commonly used signals?

A. That's a great question. I think it only matters if you are training the dog for someone else, or with the intention to show them. One of our dogs is trained to voice commands as well as hand signals, but originally the hand signals just kind of 'happened'. We realized that every time we told him to sit, we were holding our hand out with front of us with the palm facing him- and we were curious if he responded to the hand signal or the words. Now he can respond to both, and we made up other hand signals for his other commands.

What is a reasonable time to get your dog trained in basic commands?

Q. All dogs need training, but how long is too long when taking the time to train your dog? Does this include or not include proofing? If a dog gets trained and proofed in the end, is the person a good trainer regardless of how long it took to get there? I am talking about basic obedience commands like: sit, lay, stay, walking nicely on a leash, heel, leave/take it, come.

Also, how do you feel about the "watch me" command?
I use the "watch me" command, because I pair commands w/ hand signals. I found he understands what I want better pairing the two up.

A. The short answer is..... as long as it takes. 'Watch me' is a great one to teach. Ideally you should incorporate training in to play sessions, much more fun for both of you. Lots of short session all day. Check out http://doglifetraining.com that site has great advice on basic lifestyle skills and how to teach them, helped me put lots of things in perspective.

How to train my dog basic tricks?

Q. Shes a 1 yr and almost 2month old shih tzu girl. Shes fixed.

When we got her all we taught her was sit, come, stay (still needs a bit of work) and we potty trained her.

Heres what i want to teach her:
Lie down
Rollover
Shake
Stop

How can i teach her these at her age? (she is kinda stubborn too, as most shih tzus are) The summer is here so this is the time im gonna train her some more. Btw i do have treats.

A. if you want her to lay, she has to be able to sit (which she can)
you have her sit, then put a treat by her, when she's interested, lure it away from her, while having your had on her back so she doesn't get up. then she'll go into a laying position.

when you've got lay down, you can teach roll over. to have her do that you want her to lay down, then lure the treat in one way and she'll follow it with her nose.

shake is easy. you just pick up his paw and say shake, every once in a while, and she'll get the idea, you don't need treats for that. i don't know how to get them to stop though!

also, you can teach her to jump through a hula hoop by having her walk through it luring her with a treat , then eventually pick it up off the ground more. don't get frusterated, it takes a while for them to do that!

hope this helps!
