I have 6 puppies that I am trying to sell. They are 8 weeks old. I hate the fact that they jump up everytime you go into the barn. Is it acceptable for me to start working with them on how to sit, stay, stay down, etc?

How do I find out and how do I get involved? I have shih tzu, no kidding, that would put any dog to shame with obedience and agility.

I want to take my great grandfather’s protection dog job. I can’t contact the people who trained him because they all passed away and stopped their bussiness. Plz help me. I want to start my own bussiness with these lovable Dogs.

AdviceDogTraining.com asked:


Hey, I’m in the process of putting together a website full of free articles regarding dog training. One of my stupid New Year resolutions.

I was going to concentrate on providing tips for people with problem dogs (mainly adults, because people love puppies). The feedback I have from friends is that I should target Puppy training issues ?

So what do I concentrate on - Puppies or Adult Dogs ?
Sorry, here’s what I’ve got so far, I think it’s coming on : http://www.advicedogtraining.com.

My dog gets scared when I teach him obedience for no reason, what should I do?

Horse J asked:


My boston terrier gets scared when I try to teach him obedience. Which makes training tricks harder because I get out a treat and he does not want it when I try to teach him circle he doesnt go after the treat he sits there, puts his ears back, open his eyes wide, and start shaking. I never have scolded him in any way while training him, he just doesnt want to be taught the trick. He knows sit, stay, down, and come but I cant teach him stand on for paws from a sit, stand on hind legs, purr wet, dance, spin, and other cool tricks cause he wont go after the toy or treat. I have tried hotdogs, dog soft training treats, hard treats, nothing, excitement in my voice, toys and almost everything you can think of but he just will not learn. But he has to learn these cool tricks because he is supposed to be starring in a movie as the main dog but he cant if he doesnt learn. They are fun tricks but he only wants to sit there when I try to teach him. But when I stop trying, he quickly comes out of scared mode and turns in to happy wanna play mode. I just dont get it. Can anyone tell me anyway to get him to stop being so glum when I try to train him? Btw, he also knows shake and allot of agility. Thankyou!
Thankyou all for the answers! Its helping very well and yes I have done the play and running around with him before but never thought of play training! Its working! He is also learning limp on command and frisby jump offs just by playing! Thankyou all for the great answers! I would reply but I cant thanx!

I’m also wondering if there are any websites with high-quality clips/videos on training. I’m taking a class soon and I am interested in getting a head start.

abdelkader.mimouni asked:


I’m a veterinarian student and i would really love to have an extra degree in dog training (house protection, behavioural…) but i really don’t know how i should proceed.
Is there a special school, college or something where i can get such a degree or education? and if there is how long is it? Can i do it during a summer ?
I would need information for either canada or france.
I thank you for any information you could provide me with (contacts, websites…).
