Can you really teach an old dog … In addition, dog owner invents training techniques

Adam

I received a surprise Christmas present last year as a shepherd mix four years older than my wife and my daughter decided that I need to replace my long-time animal has been made last summer. It really is a beautiful dog, but scared away when we they said it was good with other dogs and cats. She was quite aggressive with them. We are six months in this report now, and it is much better. I think it is safer now.

The one problem I have not found, it is his desire to run the door and ignore our "come" commands. All this to ask: Are the techniques in your book and video series work on an adult dog? I prefers not to invest money in a lost cause. We live in the desert of Arizona and it will not last long this summer, if she goes out and runs away again. I looked through many of your newsletters, but found no mention of age.

Thank you pour votre aide.

Dear Larry:

Thank you for the e-mail.

Yes, the dog training techniques work on all dogs, as they are healthy and have no mobility problems.

In many cases, the formation of an older dog is easier than training a young dog, despite the adage that "You can not teach an old dog, it is certainly something to say about maturity.

Dear Adam:

Please help! I am ready to give my 6MB. Old Maltese. I grew up with one of these dogs the dog as sweet and loving I have ever met so I bought one for my family, at great expense. I tried to find a good breeder and the dog was shipped.

The problem is – he roars and attacked my 4 years old when he tries to pet or take it, or if I look and said, "Good dog, no grumbling, it's OK .. "He growls, but struggles to get away and growl when he is down. It was bitten when I was not looking.

I tried the advice of your book and that given by others on the newsgroup. For years, my son was the only one to feed the dog, I have kept off the furniture and children belonging to toys. Nothing seemed to help, recently, I was grasping it firmly by the scruff and growling "No" to him, then put in a small room by himself for several minutes. Today when I went to fix it, he snapped and growled me! He is now afraid of me and I'm angry against him.

The most shocking for me is that I wanted this dog to be a friend of my son like mine was for me when I was young. My son is a sweet boy still loves animals and is saddened my present. Is there hope?

Dear Stewart

I do not know not how to say this without seeming like a complete idiot, but … DIRECTIONS AND FOLLOW WARNING!

The only thing you seem to have done is correct the undesirable behavior of the dog! The "pulling the neck skin is only for young puppies 8 to 10 weeks. It is inefficient for older dogs.

To correct the older dogs, I spend a large part of the book explaining the benefits of the ring toe. Remember the concept of motivation? Remember the notion of associating a negative / correction with dogs unwanted behaviors? Remember how I teach you to look at the corrections that you give and decide whether or not the motivation? Remember, page 23, page 38, page 59, page 62, page 155, page 173, page 174, page 181, page 226, page 241, and 260 page?

I will quote from the book "After correcting the dog, he immediately try to make the new behavior. Give him the choice: if not new behavior, then most likely your first correction was not motivated … If he refuses to do the behavior, then the rent – as it is just made the right decision. "[Page 156.]

Now, if you have a specific question about how to implement a of these techniques … so is another question. But tell me that you confine the dog in a room as a sort of "Time Out" is a technical something that you have found in my book. And is not, "" Good dog, growling NO, that's OK … "

Again, I repeat: Praise the dog only when he made the right choice (Remaining calm). Do not tell him, "No rumble," it is already quiet. It is SOOOO confusing to the DOG.

It's very simple:

The dog does something good = You say "Good dog," and praise. The dog does something bad = You say: "No!" and administer a correction to the leash and collar.

I can only speculate about why your question is more along the lines of: "That's what happened when I corrected my dog collar pinch and tabulation for this behavior abhorrent. "

The only reason I'm being so rude about this issue is that it is a theme Central throughout the book. I want to emphasize again and again the elements of timing, consistency and motivation. In fact, many readers have pointed out My repeat that this concept is sometimes tedious.

Once you can explain how you used specific schedule, consistency and motivation and the application of these elements to your dilemma, you (perhaps surprisingly) you are in the position to explain how you fixed the obnoxious behavior of your dog.

That's all for now people!
