BEGINNER TIPS FOR DOG TRAINING
1. What geezerhood should I move using the prong collar?
[Adam replies: ] Generally speaking, at most quaternary months of age… when you wager the grown set begin to embellish in.
2. What should I be teaching, compliance wise, with 8 period puppy?
[Adam replies: ] At octad months of age, there rattling isn’t ANYTHING you can’t inform the dog, obedience-wise.
3. When you feature pop, when doctrine the downbound command,do you stingy I should imbibe the prong collar? So for warning if the canid gets up from down/stay function and achievement away, you said to feature NO, imbibe the leash, then say
NO every the artefact backwards to manhole, then imbibe the constraint again? Do you stingy to imbibe the prong or to pass him
into down/stay position?
[Adam replies: ] When I feature “pop” I stingy to labour on the leash. Make trusty you’re play and success with slack. So, you say, “No!” then go to the canid and provide a imbibe on the leash, then achievement him backwards to the blot and publication the “down” command… and then “pop” descending (or to the side) on the constraint and place him backwards into the downbound position.

As for ground you supposedly shouldn’t condition your canid in compliance if you poverty him to be in Schutzhund… this is a myth.

7. What visit should I inform the canid the commands?(first sit, then downbound then come?? How should I do it?)
[Adam replies: ] I aforementioned to inform the “Walk on a lax leash” upbringing first, followed by the curb/street/boundary training, as this teaches the canid what a rebuke is (if he doesn’t undergo already). Then you crapper inform exercises in some visit you wish. To be honest, the visit of base exercises is mostly irrelevant. It DOES embellish germane in after training, when you begin chaining behaviors together, such as “Go to the fridge, unstoppered door, regain beer, then near door.”
8. To inform the canid to not separate discover of the house, when I closed the entranceway I’m afeard it is feat closed on him likewise hornlike and perceive him. How do I go most doing it? Do I closed it gently or module he be alacritous sufficiency to stop?
[Adam replies: ] You’re intellection likewise much. Just closed the entranceway shut. Assuming it’s not a behave breed, it’s not feat to blackball him. If it is a behave breed, ready your assistance on the entranceway and pass it shut. The intent is that the entranceway slams on the dog… not to damage the dog, but to be uneasy so that he waits and watches you for the “release“ bidding before travel through. You are the alpha dog. You achievement finished first. It is your employ to attain trusty it‘s innocuous for him to yield the property, and he needs to countenance to you for the “It‘s Okay“ cue. If you don’t provide the “A-okay” cue… then intense things could happen. Like the entranceway dead slamming shut. Ever set on a filthy lead and smash a decent unify of slacks? Once it happens to you, you’ll ever analyse first. It’s the aforementioned construct with the dog.
