Getting Started

|
if u wish to teach him yourself....without proper lesson from a trainer, u will need a lot of determination to repeat the process....
i taught mine, paw, high-five, sit, down, come, out(like get outta the house, lol), no, kiss kiss, mumm mumm(to tell her when to eat her treaties)...lol i know the command seems funny..lol... used to have another dog, where i tell her "tau tau(container)" then she would take her food container for me to put food in it for her to eat..lol
is like when u wanna train him to sit, u gentle push his butt down, make him in a sitting position then tell him sit...and each time u tell him sit, give him a small treaties, snack that he likes...then repeat until he get the meaning of when u says sit that means he's gotta sit down...but at the beginning stage, do have dog snack to give him or else, he will keep in mind that no snack, no need to listen...do the snack trick for some time...then like mine now....without snack, she listen....but of course with snack, she is even more obedient..lol....

Added on April 21, 2010, 10:30 pmone more thing, you better teach him not to simply bite anything....but this is like a the hardest thing to do....cause you know, they are growing teeth, so, the itch in their mouth..you know what i mean eh? but if u don't control him over this, when he grows up, he will bites anything that he wanted to... as for me, what i did was, grab her mouth, upper and lower part, squeeze them a little when they tend to disobey you on wanted to bite onto something..but don't squeeze too hard...or else you are gonna hurt his, gums...squeeze till u heard him whistling(which mean like a cry for a dog), then let go, then tell him "no", while you pointing at him...the "pointing" at him is important that u do it each time he did something wrong...if he tend to bite again, repeat...and slowly he will gets it...
then here where the "pointing" works....as for mine now, each time she did something wrong, whenever i pointed at her, she will roll back her ears and she knows she did something wrong..lol...but don't scold your lovely dog like the world is ending, they need to be love and pamper....the more u love em, they will sense it and the closer are your dog to you!
