Always start lessons for new tricks in a quiet room in your house away from any distractions.

Break training up into short but regular sessions so your dog isn't overwhelmed.

Be patient, just like us, dogs all learn at different rates so don't worry if your dog doesn't pick things up straight away.

Therefore, if my dog is jumping up on me and I don’t want my dog doing that, I don’t correct the jumping up. I tell her to sit…and she does…and I reward her for the sit. It is much more positive for the dog and resolves the issue nicely because if she is sitting, she is not jumping up on me.

Are you going crazy potty training a puppy? Housetraining a puppy can be the biggest nightmare if you do it incorrectly but it can be done in one week when you follow the steps below.

The following info-graphic has some simple rules to follow and make potty training easy and effective:

1) Take your puppy out for a potty break every 2-3 hours.

2) Take your puppy out for a potty the break after every meal.

3)Take your puppy out for a potty break after a nap.

4) Take your puppy out for a potty break after a play session.

The main idea when potty training a puppy, is to take him the correct place as often as he needs to and reward him after he is done. The infographic above gives you an idea of how often a puppy needs to go out. However, you need to know your own puppy.

1) For a couple of days write down the TIME and PLACE your puppy peed or pooped. This way you will know how often he is relieving himself. You may also notice if he does it after every meal or nap.

2) Now that you know the schedule, TAKE your puppy out (or to the correct place) and WAIT for him to do his business.

3) Reward with a treat after he is done!

4) Repeat steps 2 and 3, you should start noticing that after a couple of days or weeks your puppy chooses the correct place more often than other places.

5) NEVER punish your dog for accidents, this can stress him and even make him do his business hidden from you (which will make potty training very hard because you won't be able to reward him).

6) You can crate train your puppy so he learns to have quiet times in between active times. Crate training also prevents your puppy from having accidents.

_making.out.with.medusa_ Taking a dog out after a meal can be very bad for their stomach. If they eat and play after it can cause nausea or discomfort.

I've never had one professionally trained. Actually I have never “trained" any animal in my life.

I have read the training books and read advice online. Some made sense to me, most of it was just nonsense.

Treat your dog like family because they are. They learn from watching and listening to you. Each family is different and will have different rules.

You first have to understand what rules you want them to follow. Is the furniture off limits? Then they have to understand that from the beginning. No “just this once” allowed. Will they be inside or outside pets? Make sure they have a space they can go to be safe or just chill away from the family. A crate works best for this inside, a dog house is best for outside.

We've had dogs that wouldn't use a crate or a doghouse as they preferred to make their own den. We've had dogs that used the crate only when they were recovering from surgery, and some that used it just for quiet time away from the kids. Let your dog decide what is best for them. Just offer them the option and let them choose.

Our dogs have unfettered access to the house and yard. If this is possible for you I recommend giving it to them. It makes potty training so much easier.

Set the ground rules early and help them learn a few basic commands like sit and come. The one command I do encourage you to teach your dog is “leave it.” This command can be used to get them away from anything you don't want them to have.

Treat them like family and they'll be family. They will learn your unspoken ques and respond accordingly. Give them love and respect and they'll return it 10 times over.

ANSWER-

The short answer is that service dogs are trained to do the things that the person cannot do for themself.

All service dogs are trained at an advanced level in obedience work, are extensively socialized, and then later are matched with a person. When they are matched, the trainer will find out what the person is needing and can train the dog these extra skills. They also match you based on things like your lifestyle, how active you are, and what your home environment is like.

I was just starting college when we started looking into service dogs. We were looking for breeds that had good stamina throughout the day but were not hyperactive. Since most of the dogs that are trained to be service dogs are labs, Golden retrievers, or german Shepard's, we had to look a long time. We looked into a variety of working breeds and completely by accident found a young St. Bernard that had everything a potential service dogs needs. A calm temperament, being friendly but not excitable, liked to be out and meet new people but was also ok with having a stay home day, and was smart and motivated enough to complete all of the training classes and tests.

My specific scenario was I had a spinal cord injury which lead to multiple spinal surgeries. After a few months I developed muscle atrophy and developed severe scoliosis since I was not able to hold my torso straight. I had multiple surgeries to correct the scoliosis where they put an extensive system of rods and screws to try and stabilize and straighten my torso. After we were done with this, I was extremly inflexible and was not able to bend over or twist at all.

So we worked with my dog to teach her to do anything related to low down reaching, reaching out in front, or moving heavy objects.

Basic retrieving skills were helpful for dropped keys or a dropped phone. Then we started getting more creative and taught her how to grab laundry out of a front loading washing machine and bring it to me so I could put it in the dryer. We also taught her how to get boxes and packages of food out of our lower cabinets, bring me Tupperware, pick up dropped utensils in the kitchen, and open the fridge door for me and close it. She also helped me unload the car after a trip to the grocery store by carrying in the grocery bags, or help me bring in my bag and keys.

Another issue I had was with muscle atrophy. Since my spinal cord injury was a few inches above my belly button I lost a lot of muscle in my lower abdomin, back, and legs. My balence became extremly unstable and I couldn't bend over and then couldn't reach forward. I had trouble picking up heavy things off the floor, reaching out in front of me, opening heavy doors, and putting on a backpack. Anything that required a bend, reach, or twist was a challenge.

You can teach dogs to do so many creative things based off of a few foundational skills like retrieving or touching. They can learn to push with buttons with their nose in elevators, push open heavy doors with their heads, help you carry things to your classes at school. It is really amazing how helpful they are for people that need them. It is also such a contributor to independence. Before I got my dog, I had to ask my mom or sister to go with me to help with things like opening doors or carrying bags. Having a service dog helps people that are semi-independent become mostly independent in many ways.

Another thing that they do that you don't have to teach them, is draw in positive attention. I have always been very shy and to myself. After my injury I felt like people were hesitation to talk to me because they didn't know what to say. When I got Lily people became very friendly and open which really helped me re-adjust. Everybody is excited to see a dog and so many people come over to say hi. This was just an unknown benefit when I got her. Having a service dog really makes your interactions with the world very positive and friendly. It has been such an incredible learning experience so far.

Here are some reasons why you should use posture aid to train your dog👇

This allows for a way to communicate with your dog to tell them what they should and shouldn’t be doing

This also will strengthen your bond with your dog as you will be leading them, but will also maintain their trust in you

Positive training also allows you to involve everyone because it doesn’t involve any physical type training

Are you walking with your dog or is your dog walking you? If it’s the latter, forget about yanking the leash. It won’t work. “Dogs have an opposition reflex. You pull back, and they pull forward. They are not being stubborn or difficult. It’s built into the way a dog is designed,” says Hartstein. In other words, if a dog pulls and gets to where it wants to go, the dog is rewarded and will continue the behavior. The solution? Head back inside for some walking on the leash. “After your dog has walked successfully next to you many times in your home, advance to the backyard, then the front yard, then a few houses down, and etc.,” suggests Hartstein. Reward them for walking close to you. Find out the 53
