Outdoor activities are a delight when your dog walks obediently by your side. It is often easiest to train a puppy to walk to heel off the lead at first, since it will enjoy human companionship and will usually be willing to follow its owner. Since most puppies also follow the scent of food snacks, it is useful to carry treats throughout training, so you can reward obedience.

My dog barks constantly and it has gotten to the point that when she barks my grandfather hits her- which I cannot stand. When I speak up I get called a “hippie” and blah blah blah. I refuse shock collars as they are extremely inhumane. They have a new collar that emits an ultra-sonic high pitched noise when ever the dog barks, which my grandmother wants me to get. I read thats it’s vet approved- but also that other dogs barking makes it go off, or even air planes.
I thought about buying dog training lessons, but they’re really expensive, and I’m pretty much broke, and don’t start working again until school ends, and I don’t think it can wait that long. The collar is $20, but I won’t get it if it’s inhumane. What do you think, training or collar?
Yes I researched it quite a bit. I know how to but I don’t know if they’ll let me use training technics, such as rewards.

I ussually walk her quite a bit, but it’s winter now. So I haven’t as much.

So you have a new puppy dog. What better companion for you and your family

Does Petsmart have dog obedience training? How effective would it be for a 2 month old Australian Shephard that is out of control. He loves to turn over water bowls (it’s 110 degrees here), jump other dogs and cats. Goes to the bathroom inside the house and tears apart everything.

Oh and how much does it cost?

We have aquired 2 sled dogs, from a deceased family member friend, we love dogs and were wondering if we could leash train these two sled dogs and not ruin their pulling(we think dog sledding would be fun) we will probably use a prong collar just for training.

I found a dog obedience class (beginner) that is 6 weeks long (meets 1 hr a week) and costs $150. This seems to be the average price. I want to know if others have been pleased with the outcome of their dog going through this?
