A Hike More Work Towards CGC

On friday, I took Shippo for a nice hike at The Garden of the Gods, which ended up being FILLED with tourists. This ended up being a good opportunity to practice walking through a crowd of people, to see how hed react. He did awesome! He stayed with me the whole time, no pulling or anything, and we were able to walk up to a few people who asked to pet him! We seemed to turn heads the whole time we were there, because I kept hearing people telling each other what a gorgeous dog he was lmao.



Then we got lost, because the maps there suck, so we walked around aimlessly till we found the exit again. When we were exiting the park, I heard somebody telling his group of people how he "potty trained" dogs by rubbing their noses in it, hitting the dog, and throwing it outside. Its hard to imagine that people are still using such outdated methods.

In other news, a co-worker of mine is a trainer, and she said to stop by Friday, so we can test Shippo and see how he reacts to being without me for 3 minutes - another crucial part of the CGC test. I couldnt imagine him reacting badly, but you never know I guess. More on that later...

More Potty Training Tips For Training Your Puppy

Potty training your puppy is not the best task in the world but it needs to be done, unless of course you are quite happy to be cleaning up all his little puddles that he leaves around the house. I dont think anyone would be happy doing this for ever so to avoid this then you should start potty training your puppy right from the moment he joins your family. Here are some tips to help you potty train your new puppy.

The first rule of potty training is to stay calm, friendly and do not smack your puppy or be aggressive with him when he does make little mistakes inside the house. This is your new family member and you will need to bond with him so dont let any unpleasantness with the potty training ruin your bonding. Little accidents in the house will only be for a short period so stay patient for this short period as it will be over soon.

The second rule of potty training is to be consistent. Try to get your puppy into a routine by feeding him at the same time every day. By having a routine with his feeding then this will help him get into a routine with his toilet eliminations also. With his evening feed make sure that you feed him three to four hours before bedtime so that he has time to digest the food and go to the toilet before going to bed for the night. Always let him outside to do his business before putting him to bed for the night.

The third rule of potty training is to keep your routine. You need to give him this same routine every day. Start the day off by taking him outside as soon as he wakes to do his business. Then after he has a feed in the morning, take him outside again as puppies will often need to go to the toilet after they have eaten or drank. Potty training your puppy is a little like toilet training a child and will be more effective when you stick to a routine.

The fourth rule of potty training is to give him lots of praise. Dogs love to make their owners happy and love receiving praise and pats so every time that your puppy gets it right, make sure you give him lots of praise. You can give him a good belly rub or some extra play time for getting it right. This will encourage him to get it right in the future.

Conclusion

Potty training isnt that bad and is only for a short time. Always be consistent and patient and your puppy is sure to catch on fairly quickly. You need to teach your puppy what it is that he should be doing and dont just expect him to know it. Give him lots of praise and when indoors if possible keep him in a hard floor area so that when he does have an accident it is easy to clean up.

Your puppy is your new family member and if trained correctly will give you lots of joy for years to come. To find out more about puppy and dog training visit Guide To Dog Training

Banish boredom miracles of training Crufts more

Whilst Crufts is still fresh in the memory of most dog lovers... on TV in the UK we are being treated to another series by Victoria Stilwell of Its Me or the Dog fame. This time some extremely unlikely pooches are being trained for Crufts.

The problems featured in the first show were:- a hyperactive dog. A dog who refused to have anyone anywhere near its mouth. The third dog had no official pedigree so was unable to attend the breed part of the show, but was renowned for its addiction to food! Boredom can be a problem for some dogs. So the idea was for it to do dancing to music... and it performed brilliantly.

All three dogs showed remarkable progress and the owners were extremely happy with the difference in their dogs.

A small note... if your dog is hyperactive... first look at the food they are fed! [Im sure that is the problem with most kids too... the food they eat and the junk they drink... but we wont get into that subject!]

The dancing/heelwork to music has been the real eye-opener at Crufts this time with the popularity vastly increasing... and when you can see what can be achieved in such a short amount of time, Im sure it can only get bigger, and bigger. You basically need a dog which is food motivated... arent they all? Well there are a few exceptions, but with professional tuition there must be a way round this problem.

For more information on heelwork to music visit your national Kennel Club website... the UK site has an extremely interesting and informative article on heelwork to music and there are also many useful links. It also stresses that if you want to progress in the sport you should consider doing Obedience FIRST. [Somewhere within our blogs you WILL find National Kennel Club addresses!]

[Remember to check out Victoria Stilwells book below to sort out ANY obedience problems you may have.] Another web address you may find interesting is Victoria ... here you will find an actual transcript of a webchat with Victoria Stilwell... amongst the interesting topics covered were... dogs jumping up, socialization, destructive behaviour, and recalling your dog.

Now for a link to the brilliant book by Victoria Stilwell... armed with this book, you, too, could be performing miracles of training...
