Can anyone help me with a training method. My dog will not listen to me outside of the house.?
I adopted her from the Shelter and she is a 3 yr old retriever mix. She is a door dasher and ignores me outside, pulling me all over the place. She also has serious dog to dog aggression. Please direct me to the right place if you can.
It is highly recommended to start training your dog while he/she is very young. This is impossible many times, especially in rescue situations, as with our Corgi.
The best way to get results is always be gentle. Dogs are social animals and develop a real attachment to their owners. That attachment, in large measure, is at the heart of dog training. A dog who trusts his owner and who sincerely wants to please his companion is far more likely to remain attentive and compliant during the training process.A failure to act gently jeopardizes the training program by undermining the quality of the dog/owner relationship. A gentle dog owner will find himself with an ally for a trainee rather than a rival. Instead of a battle of the wills, training can become a cooperative exercise. Under those conditions, training tends to take less time and be far more effective.
The second most important thing to remember is to emphasize prevention, in other words, to intervene before a problem is created instead of simply responding to the problem. Instead of waiting for the dog to make a mistake to correct, the prevention-minded owner will keep close watch to see imminent difficulties and will intervene early to prevent them from arising in the first place. This decreases frustration throughout the training process making it more enjoyable for both the dog and the owner.
