| help with understanding and training my dog | | Hi fellow mylotters. I need a little help with something. I am reaching out to all of you and hoping that you will help me to better understand my goofy dog. My dog, Snickers, is part wolf and well, frankly we just don't know the other mix. We think it is lab, but just can't be sure. However, she is 4 years old. And, I have attempted many, many times to train her. She is very intelligent and smart. My biggest concerns and complaints with her are this: due to my health issues, it is extremely painful when she jumps on me or claws me. I bruise very easily. The thing is that with all the training that I have put her through, she still doesn't "get it"! She still continues to jump, and claw at me. Her claws are very painful. I don't want to trim them because she is an outside dog. But, I was hoping that you all could help me to better understand this behavior and possibly educate me on how to better control or stop it altogether. On top of that, she can JUMP! And, I do mean jump. She jumps as high as my husband is tall! This is becoming harder and harder to get her to understand that she is not allowed to do that! For the most part, she is a wonderful, great dog. It is just these few... | |
| | training my dog | | I have a 8 month old pitbull and he can't stand walking with his leash on. He will let us put it on him and then he will lay down and won't want to move anymore. And if we are outside then we will walk a few steps and then lay down and I will have to bribe him with treats to move a few more steps. I don't know how to get him compfotable enough to take a walk around the neighborhood without laying down. Please help! | |

| Training Large Dog to Lay Down? | | We brought a black lab into our home about a month ago. Someone had dumped him off in the country and we were offered him by the person that picked him up. He seems to be about a year old, sweet tempered, VERY skittish. Almost like he's been beat. He will run and hide from you if you come at him, even if to play. He does know the sit command and is pretty good at it.
But my question is, how do you get him to lay down? He is a huge dog and still has yet to grow into his paws. I have pulled on his collar while telling him to lay down. I have taken his feet out from under him or tried to walk them down. I have to practically lay on the poor thing to get him to lay down due to his size (and stubborness)!
Any suggestions? | |

| | Anyone have tips for training a dog? | | I need help! My 6 month old cocker spaniel will not stop jumping on my two year old. Because of his bad habit of jumping on people, mainly my toddler, I don't even let him inside very much anymore. I want him to be an inside dog but he hurts my son when he jumps on him. I need training tips to keep him from jumping on people. Any advice would be helpful! | |

| | Training your dog ---or let them do their own thing | | hi everyoneJust wanting your thoughts on whether it is better to train your dog or let it do it's own thing? I myself like to have dogs who are polite and do as they are told and don't runumuck. i take my dogs to an obedienc school at least once a week. I myself enjoy these outings abd they socialize my dogs as well. i have now become a dog instructor so I can help other people train their dogs as well | |
