Your dog might be hyperactive, shy or even a bit rebellious. Whatever his personality, your furry friend needs positive dog training to be the best dog he can be. A training routine will establish your roles and make him more likely to obey essential commands. These small steps can help carve the path to a happier, more well-behaved dog in little time.

Throughout your dog’s training program, continue to play with them as much as possible. Interacting through games and activities is one way to bond with your pet and relieve stress. Dogs respond much better to people they trust, so go out and throw a ball, play tug of war or just rub their belly.

*He’s almost four
*He’s a Finnish Lapphund
*Very smart
*Eager to learn if food is involved

I’m bored and so is he- any ideas?

Oh- and what are some good tips and tricks for training? Does a clicker really work?

BQ- What are your dogs names and breeds?

I have a Lab and I know that this breed is super smart and I need to train him. He is a black male lab. About 4 years old. He already knows sit, lay down, and jump. I want to teach him to speak, to roll over, to stay, and to stop pulling on the leash.
Any ideas or suggestions?

I have a German Shepherd, 5 years old. She already sits, stays and lies down. What are some fun things I can do with her so she gets exercised either mentally or physically?

I have been thinking about doing a little agility training with my dog. I am not talking about doing actual competitions with him, just letting him get some exercise that way. He is a 12 lb poodle/schnauzer mix that has a lot of energy. Can you recommend some websites to get started? There are SO many sites out there that I want to make sure that I get a good site.
He gets plenty of exercise and isn’t hyper, he just has lots of energy and can jump VERY long distances (he completely jumped over a 6 foot rug without touching anything on it–DD’s toys, LOL).
Oh, and their aren’t any local places. I live in small town USA. LOL

He’s a mini or toy poodle+chihuahua mix.
I don’t mean basic things like sit, down, etc.
He learns fairly fast (today I taught him to jump through hoops)
I just want some entertaining tricks that he will enjoy?

My mother has seen my increased interest in training my dog for therapy work and bought me a dog-training clicker. She says that my aunt used a similar one to train her labrador and that it worked wonders on him.

One problem…I have no clue whatsoever how a little red plastic clicker can train my dog. She’s very food-orientated and I’m worried that once the treats are taken away, the training will go right out of her brain. I don’t see how adding a small clicking noise will make any more difference.
