Is it too late to train my dog now?

I have a female Pomeranian. She is 1 year and three months old. She will sit if you have a treat for her but that’s about it. A friend of the family who claims she is an expert on how to train dogs discouraged me the other day saying that my dog is too old and stubborn to be trained now. Is she right? My dog can be stubborn at times, but she is clever, and if you use a stern tone she’ll listen. But is it too late to train my dog basic commands now?
Gene: go to hell.

dog behavior scared

How I can show my dog what he did was inappropriate?

My dog just got on the table and ate a hamburger. Never done this before. My dad was very mad and very scared the dog. I would like to find a way to discourage this type of behavior, without hitting the dog on the rump or scream so loud that the neighbors awake. He is a 11-year old 13-inch beagle. Thanks!

you pretty much have to catch the dog in the act and correct him in time. The problem with stealing food is rewarding your self-behaved, and difficult to break. Hitting and yelling usually solves the problem. Work on the "leave it" command .. any food off tempting. have something better in your hand or pocket .. walking the dog on a leash close to the subject .. when you show an interest .. said that "what leave, "he gently pulled away from food, then praise and reward when he directed his attention to it .. work on this several times a day .. must at some time will be able to put food on somewhere, like the coffee table, and work on this with your dog off leash. Also train your dog to stay out of the kitchen when food and meals are prepared / eaten. diligient be for not leaving food unattended outside as well.

Can you answer a dog behavior questions for me?

Were given only 5 months old puppy. Dashchund and is half Shitzu medium. He is very good, gentle and wonderful with children. Within two days it is literally my shadow. I am with him and my children at all times and but I do not mind being charged the bathroom door .. hahaha … like a stalker when I'm there and is annoying when I'm out of sight. I follow the advice dog whisperer .. but I'm not familiar with what to do. Sounds like I'm the pack leader or he?

Definitely head of the pack … but he will grow out of it and begin to challenge you later.

I live in Canada and want to study the behavior of dogs and become a coach of an idea?

Okay so I'm 17, turning March 18. I'm very curious where I can find places where I can get a certificate of some sort to become a dog trainer and possibly a dog behaviorist (or just dog study) .. I have no intention of taking a course in Vet Tech, because that's not going to help me, but I'm thinking inside and outside about to take in college, but it's really undecided. so, does anyone know anywhere in Canada, or someone can contact me sometime soon to get some information on training and study of dog behavior. Thank you very much:) ps i did not mean that training in pet stores, I mean dog training to be trusted.

Check here: http://www.casinstitute.com/dipabst.html After receiving my degree in veterinary technology, I'm going for the Diploma of Animal Behavior Science and Technology. They had a diploma in nutrition and fitness for dogs, but do not know what happened to him. To become an expert on proper canine behavior, you must be a veterinarian. Courses are occasionally offered for veterinary technicians, and specialties, but for the average person does not think there's anything beyond certification courses, etc. Good luck!

I have a half year old female Pekingese March and not play.?

I wanted her to have a litter of kittens before having her spayed. But he will have nothing to do with another dog. Does anyone know why and is this normal behavior for a dog? His picture is in my blog 360. I do not understand why some of you are throwing me for wanting a litter of puppies of my pet. I am a pet owner, very responsible and their puppies were for me, not abandoned in an alley dark or sell for profit. So back off! I want to thank everyone who gave me valuable advice. I really appreciate your time and effort to help me. But for those who insulted me and stupid because I love my pets and others like them would want me to say that we respect their right to disagree with me, but do not insult me. Not I have hard feelings, but I gave the thumbs down. Rarely do that, but sorry.

Well you can not call her a bitch thats for sure. Perhaps only waiting for mr right not mr right now. Now for the people here who say that just gets his fixed cus many puppies bite me.Ever stop to think maybe she wants her dog Marcus loves the puppies have your dog and want one of your dog. you may try is where the race takes just leave it alone to be male but only about will let it happen. I would do a search here on the line Maybe talk to your veterinarian. Chelsea never had a dog had babies that could strike cus my car now she's gone I'd give anything to have a dog of her, she was the best I've had little gal that saved me from my house filled with smoke when barking and not left me alone and my partner until we were awake … Could go on and hope things good luck all the work for you and your dog son .. OMG I had to add something after reading what some moron said about you to its young, its F Ing selfrepresent a professional breeder you kidding moron who is also known like a puppy mill I have seen the benefits that dogs do not treat as income and to hell with Love … professional races must band period ….

The Libra dog adoption – behavior question?

This question is for anyone who has taken a pound before. I looked at a boy of 2-3 years of laboratory today in the kennels. Was very high energy and barked like crazy when I came to the kennel and when I put him back. But he was a charm when I accompanied him. The lady at the kennel, said his barking hyper behavior could be just the stress of the kennel. Someone who has taken a laboratory pound found this to be true. Or would I be signing up for a dog that barks continuusly while I'm at work and "bounces on the walls? Be all dogs are not the same. But I wonder how the extreme stress may actually be the kennel, or is it who is it?

First, make a backround check. pounds workers ask him and how he deals with the other dogs there. I have my dog from the pound when she was 2. I had urination problems great and was very anxious to ride. we almost pulled across the street. when we brought him home, set within a week. yes my puppy had kennel stress 2. well, its ur choice but I would take him home and try it out. GIVE THE DOG A CHANCE BEFORE U doubt it! GOOD LUCK.

Dog behavior? Barking? Schipperke information?

Our family just adopted a Schipperke. We're taken to an obedience class, does pretty well, except … barks a lot. He barks a lot to have to put a barricade around us to be quiet. What you should know, is just the way stop barking. Also everyone knows Schipperke, PLEASE tell me. We really need more information about stoping Schipperke with bark. Many thanks! All I can say TREMENDOSLY help me!

… first you have to find a cause of the barking. a way you can teach your dog to stop barking is to give some kind of "quiet" command. Do not scream … not react very well to that. … You can also omit the [dog barking is] angry … and thanks to your dog when it stops barking. that teaches what you like the peace and respond to it and

How I can be a dog behaviorist?

I am interested in becoming an expert on dog behavior, but all my experience has been through home study and experience with my own dogs. any suggestions?

You can go to college and earn a degree in Applied Animal Science, or some have applied animal behavior. If you want to be a professional dog behavior expert (the solution of serious behavioral problems, not only obedience training, etc) should do it. It is at least a four-year degree, although you can go to MA and PhD if you wanted. When looking at schools, taking into account the main can be listed in the school of Agriculture, not the school of Veterinary Medicine. For a great example and lesson plans, see the link below, from one of the Ag and Vet schools in the nation.
