Boxer Dog Training

Boxer Dog Training
I want a second dog. I’m interested in a weimaraner, boxer, great dane or another golden retriever.?

I am a 23 year-old full time teacher with a 9 month old desexed male golden retriever. I would like to get a second dog soon but can’t decide which breed. I love goldens but I HATE the long hair and don’t know if I could handle even more blonde hair on my carpets! I am commited to obedience training a second dog and exercising for at least 1/2 an hour every night with them. I would also like to get involved in agility or flyball in the future. There may also be children in my life sometime in the next 5-10 years so a dog that is accepting of this is a must. Which breed would suit my current situation best? Thanks so much for any advice or suggestions you can give me.

I have a Boxer, They are a great breed they love other dogs and are great with all people.
The dont shed much hair and its very short when they do.
They are very playful amd enagetic so your dog you already have and your new boxer can wear eachother out all day playing (WHICH BOXERS LLOOVVEE TO DO) and will still have energy for you in the evening.
They are a amazing breed and they are always cute and look like big puppies.
Good luck mate.

Dog Crate Training Problems

Dog Potty Training Problems – Two Tips You Can Use Today

Whoever says potty training a dog is easy is either lucky or they know what they are doing. The problem is your dog is very young at only three months old and she needs to toilet every few hours.  Even after three months you might not be successful in your efforts to train her.

Even though you have done all the right things, such as crate train your dog, put the dog outside after a nap, teach her toilet training outside, and maybe tried other things as well, but still it is not working.

What do you do next? It is at times such as this when you wish you could talk to her, and she could understand the behaviour you want from her, then the problem would be solved. But she cannot, so stick with it. Communication between the two of you is really the key here.

You need to know what the correct procedures are that ensure success, that is the link that is missing.

If the potty training still is not working for you, here are two things you can try.

1.Leave her outside after she has toileted to have a sniff around, rather than bring her straight inside. By doing this you are telling her being outside is for fun and not just for toileting.

2.Keep from playing with her until she has toileted. That way she will want to get it out of the way quicker so she can play with you.

Good luck with the potty training.

Guard Dogs

Guard Dogs
Do foxhounds make good guard dogs?

We are thinking about getting a foxhound, but it needs to be an ok or good guard dog.
Oh yeah, hes two years old and didn’t bark at us more than twice. My stepdads hand was practically in his mouth and he didn’t seem to mind.
by gaurd dog i meant like watch or gaurd dog!

There’s a world of difference between a watch dog and a guard dog. Very, very few dogs make good guard dogs. A foxhound would make a good watch dog – that is a dog who’ll alert you when a stranger comes along.

And it’s not in the least true that almost any dog will protect their owner in case of danger. The average dog’s instinct is to flee.

German Shepherd Dog Obedience

German Shepherd Dog Obedience

German Shepherd Dog Training Essentials

The German Shepherd Dog is a very noble breed with excellent working abilities. These dogs are capable of performing long hours of physical exercise without showing signs of extreme exhaustion. They are often used as police dogs, guard dogs, search and rescue dogs and also therapy dogs. The German Shepherd Dog is one of the best examples of a perfect working dog.

The German Shepherd Dog is also one of the most popular family and pet dogs because of its many good properties. Owning a German Shepherd Dog comes along with a great responsibility to train the dog. It is very important that the owner shall at least do basic obedience with their dog. That includes sit and down on command, sit and down stays and loose leash heeling. The recall command is probably the most important command of all for any dog, but even more so with the German Shepherd Dog.

German Shepherds are very strong dogs and you do not want to be dragged around the block when you take it for a walk. You need to be in control. When you have visitors, you do not want your German Shepherd to jump up against your friends. It is essential that you start training your German Shepherd puppy the moment it arrives at your home. From day one you should establish the packing order. Your puppy should not for one moment get the idea that he must fulfil the role of alpha.

Things your German Shepherd puppy should not be allowed:

  • Your puppy will be very cute and beautiful, they all are, but he should not be allowed on the bed or on the couch.

  • He should not be allowed to play bite any human. If he wants to bite your hand, say “NO” in a growling voice and give him a chewable toy.

    • The most essential thing you should do with your GSD puppy:

  • Your puppy should be well socialized especially the first few months of its life, but preferably for the rest of its life. Take him with you wherever you go. Let him meet other dogs, people and especially children

    • German Shepherd Dogs are such clever dogs and easily trainable and so willing to please their owners that it is really sad when owners do not train their dogs.

    There are so many disciplines in which their dogs can excel for example:

  • Obedience

  • Tracking

  • Protection work

  • Agility

  • Therapy work (depending on the temperament)

    • Which method should be used for training the German Shepherd Dog?

    It is wrongly believed that because the GSD is such a strong dog, that you should use strong and harsh methods to train the dog. Actually it is just the opposite. GSD’s are sensitive dogs and so clever that they learn very fast when you use positive reinforcement methods with lost of treats and praise. Clicker training is ideal for training any dog but also the GSD. You still have to be very firm especially when it is a male dog going through his hormonal phases, but the key is consistency and patience. If properly trained your German Shepherd will be a joy and companion for many years.
