Jen,
OK so you have identified that the behavior is a problem and does not fit into your overall objectives for the dog. The technique of "delay' and rewarding the dog for maintaining a sit and not...

They grow too fast. I can't believe Asher is already 8 months old and 66 lbs! No signs of calming down yet. Haha (I know - I have a 4 soon to be 5 yr old lab).
Your pup is beautiful!
Amazing how fast they grow those first couple of months!
Good golly! They grow so fast. I'm not sure mine would hold still for a fireman's carry!
its the best! we are looking for another yellow male pup and then it will be game on all the time at the house! very excited to expand the fam!
Welcome! Look forward to hearing about and seeing pics of Forest.
This made me laugh because that was me. What was I thinking? [I'm kidding, Boomer! Yes, I'll throw the ball again.]
How is your pup doing today?
THIS!!!! I breed and I also serve as a Rescue Taskforce member w/ the LRC, Inc. I am pretty sure the SE US is our biggest challenge w/ regard to Lab rescue based on the emails we get.
If I...
Labradors are a great versatile breed, and a lot of fun, thats why I am so passionate about them as a breed. Like Jen, I have been breeding about 10 years and have been heavily involved in Labradors...
I think you're asking too much of him. He's a baby. When you crate him and he's not ready, do you provide him with something to do? A frozen Kong, perhaps? Imagine putting a toddler in their room...
1. I raise my puppies in the house, so they are in the same temps me and my other dogs are in, so it never really mattered if they were summer or winter puppies. Where do you plan to raise yours?...
Is the timer on your page right- he's less than 4 months old? If so, he's doing GREAT! Labs really, really, want to be with you- playing with you- all the time, so it takes a while for them to learn...
You are going to have SO MUCH FUN teaching Chutes ALL kinds of tricks. :applause:
When I was teaching Gabe his tricks, I used the NILF method and now he too is like a robot. Show him 2 or 3 times...
I have lots of ideas for tricks to teach your dog. :)
Linus has:
- Spin (clockwise) and twist (counter-clockwise)
- Whack it - paw whack both horizontal and vertical
- Touch - nose...
Here's a fun next step: continue that training with "pound it". If I hold out my open hand for a 'shake' it is for thor's right paw. If I hold it out like a 'pound it' fist, he shakes his left paw....
Nothing like a cute puppy to get them to bring those feelings out into the light of day!
I paid quite a bit for a board/train only to find out later my chili was locked away in tiny cage for 23 out of 24 hrs a day...their excuse was cause he wasnt neutered. do your research...I wont be...
They are saying the one MOST important thing about an e-collar. It is NEVER used to teach a dog a command. The dog has to know the command perfectly well. After that... there are lots of ways and...
Very true! Which is why I always recommend people go to classes, and even though I’ve been training dogs in Obedience for 20 years I still go to classes myself. It’s always helpful to get...
Sioux,
T'is all relative Mate. Ye assertion is accurate only when the owner is a competent and effective trainer. Ask any accomplished trainer how much time they spend correcting the problems...
I just finished sending my lab to a board and train facility in Northern California. A few things contributed to this decision. My tried and trusted pet sitter moved from the area, my neighbors who...
I think it sounds like the OP and her significant other are kinda new to the whole puppy/dog-training thing. I can see why they are turning to an experienced hand. I would expect that if they have...
I did a board and train because I had to be out of the country for 3 weeks and needed to board bubba during that time anyway. It wasn't successful he came back knowing nothing more than when I left...
Funny how folks that are so anti- "board and train" have never had any, or have had very limited personal experience in doing so. The K9's I work with are hand selected by me by an assessment...
Hunting training is fine for sending away. Obedience training needs to be done by YOU.
