My Puppy and I’s Training: From Day One Until Forever
When I was young, I would watch my dad train our dogs. I learned how to train them and how they listened. I was fascinated by the way my dad was so calm and collected when they wouldn’t listen to him. He would use a firm tone of voice to let them to know that he was calling them without screaming at them. Every day they were more obedient, every day my dad would train them and every day they became smarter and smarter. Then we got my Christmas present, a puppy named “Brownie.” My dad trained her quickly and she learned quickly. By the time she was one year old, she knew how to hold her potty until we let her out. We lived in apartments, so she couldn’t stay outside the whole day to go.

I have been taught how to train dogs by my dad, so he agreed. I chose to train my pup because I wanted to show my parents that I am responsible. My mom didn’t like the idea at first, but she saw that I wouldn’t stop training her, so she finally accepted it. It will be a tough task, but I won 't give up, I have school and homework and work to do, but I will always make time to train her. I have a Pitbull Husky Mix, she is now 5 months going on 6 months. She now knows how to sit, stay, her name(Nevaeh), she’s learning how to go down and to roll over. By the end of my project, I will have taught her how to be obedient, well-mannered, and to like bath time. Also, she will be getting spayed because I don’t want to deal with her period or getting pregnant. When she’s one year old, I will buy her a vest to put weights on her to make her strong. We will be going on runs and walks and swimming a lot in the summer. I will have taken videos of her in training during the project period. I will eventually have a Youtube video of her when she’s older. Nevaeh will be carrying weighted vests and dragging weights on a one-pound chain. By the time she is two years old, I would like her to be at least 125 lbs of pure muscle. I am going to train her how to be protective towards my family. I don’t have any friends, they’re all my brothers, she’s already used to seeing them so step 1 is …show more content…
It answered my question; what are the methods for teaching these tricks? According to this site, the pup’s name is important because you 'll need it to look at you on any occasion (this is not the same as “come”). It is also recommended to keep the phrases “yes” & “no” separate. “Yes” means keep doing what you 're doing, and “no” means stop what you 're doing. Tell the pup to sit and stay, take five to six steps back, then say “come.” It also says to clap, but I don 't find clapping useful, so I just point and it also works. When you say “sit” it means to put its butt in the ground until given another signal such as “free” which means it can move. “Sit,” then say “free,” then proceed to move around the pup to let it know it can move. Walking on a leash with a three- to four-foot long lead is a good way to start. Once the pup is used to it, take a few steps going in one direction and then turn the other direction and do the same, all in one smooth movement. Making a spot outside for the pup to go potty is good so that the pup knows where to go and where not to go. In fact, sometimes the pups choose the spot. Socializing it from day one when you get it, it is best to do so for between eight to sixteen weeks. Get the pup used to as many sounds, motions, people, animals, and objects. Allow your pup to play with other pups as well as socialize with adult dogs. This will teach the pup self-control and good manners.
People of different ages, young and old, will love having a dog or a pup around. They even treat them as their best friend. Nevertheless, you must also think of the possible consequences that come with owning one. Effective Dog Training is necessary for your dog and you should understand you have to make an effort to socialize your dog. You have to expose your dog to the outside world, so that it will not intimidate other people.
Training your dog is the most important part of canine companionship. A happy dog is one who has structure and boundaries. Dogs are pack animals, and as such, they need guidance in the behavior that you expect from them. If you don't follow through in this leadership role, then the dog will naturally feel as if it is his place to do so. A dog that understands that you are the leader will naturally be easier to train.

The same is true when training any animal, whether they are usually housepets, or not. If animals know that a treat or reward is involved, they will obey, no matter the circumstances. In Nim’s case, it is clear that he was trained extremely well. He was also shown how to sign words such as “drink”, “eat”, “toilet”, “play”, and “Nim” using American Sign Language. In Nim’s mind, if he made a certain shape with his hands, he would be able to receive a reward. It was said that Nim picked up on the signs he was taught very quickly, and that he would even find ways to use the signs to his own advantage. For example, in times that Nim was feeling aroused, he would use the signs he was taught for the words “hug” or “cat”. Also, in situations where Nim felt uncomfortable, he would use the sign for the word “toilet”. This goes to show that Nim never entirely understood what he was signing, but rather understood the reaction he would get to the certain words he
Dogs should be trained to be around people and other pets at an early age. Training a dog to listen and obey is the most important factor (Marketwire). A dog can simply be bored and want to play aggressively. No matter the breed a dog can always be trained not to be violent (“CAUSES OF DOG”). An improperly trained dog can turn out to be mean and aggressive. Also allowing your dog to practice these behaviors will cause them to adapt to them. Exposing a dog to new things will help it become comfortable with them and recognize them. Dogs use their bark as an alarming system (Marketwire). Knowing when and why a dog is aggressive is a key factor for changing this
Pet training products available in the present market fall into four categories: dog collars that stop dogs from barking by sending out buzzes, puppy potty trainers that dispense rewards if a dog urinates in proper places, devices that shoot balls automatically to train dogs to catch balls, and devices that allow owners to remotely watch and train their dogs. The best selling gadget on Amazon is a remote dog shock collar with beeps, vibration and electric shock priced at 31 US dollars with 5722 pieces sold. As we can see, current dog training products are relatively simply designed with low prices. (amazon.com)

Having a dog can be a great experience for people who enjoy their company. These animals are usually friendly and active; they are intelligent and can develop a strong relationship with their owners based on love and care. However, having dogs is a big responsibility for the person who owns them, because they are animals, so they cannot support themselves. Dogs need someone who can feed them, give them love, and someone who can help them exercise. Moreover, these animals need big spaces in order to run and develop their muscles, so the owner has to know that he needs to take a walk with the dog several times a day.
Through the months Skye has had a total of twenty-four weeks in obedience and training classes and became part of the American Kennel Club. During her classes, they taught me as her owner that her mayhem is not her fault, and I had to teach her how to act correctly. On top of all my responsibilities as a hyper aggressive dog, I have to make sure that while I am at work, someone is capable of also taking care of her needs. I found a lodging and training daycare that works with Skye on days I drop her off, and my dad is a huge help. Not many people are able to handle my dog, so it is important that I find people that can help her.
During this time you should take your toddler to the potty every fifteen to thirty minutes so they become familiar with it. When you demonstrate how to use the potty you could use verbal demonstration while talking to your toddler by telling them step by step what they should do or you could provide physical demonstration by acting out pottying to your toddler so they visual see what you are asking them to do. Soon your toddler will build the habit of going to the potty on their own. This step also teaches your toddler a wide range of independent skills by showing them how to remove their clothes to sit on the potty.

One of the biggest and most important factors to my decision was how, when, and where they used the bathroom. Cats use a litter box as their bathroom and practically potty train themselves almost instantly. Cats are quick and easy to litter box train. As long as the litter box is kept clean and in the same location, they will pretty much teach themselves to only us...

As the sun came into view, I rushed out of bed and into the living room. My dogs followed me like a pack of wolves. I immediately lead them outside the back door where there is a fenced area, so they could use the restroom. Once they finished their business outside; they ran up the stairs and into the house. Sometimes my dogs are excessively loud with their mouths. Whenever they are out of dog food or need more water they let me know by barking. It is one of their ways of communication. The way they stare into my eyes with joy is another form of communication. Taking care of a dog is not difficult; however, they do take immense responsibility. Now that I know how much responsibility it takes to own a dog, I can use it in the future.
