How do I train my dog to learn different commands effectively?

I would recommend using treats to show Blessy what you want, and to reward her when she does what you ask. If there are specific behaviors that you aren't sure how to teach, feel free to post another question and ask - we would be happy to try and help :) For more general training information, I highly recommend the book "How To Behave So Your Dog Behaves" by Dr. Sophia Yin. It has lots of details on training dogs in general, as well as instructions for training specific commands like sit, down, come, etc.

Gypsy is such a handsome puppy! Congrats on your new puppy. The experts at Pet Coach would be glad to advise you on how to train him, but we need to know what specifically you want to teach him to do, i.e. house train, sit, stay, fetch, etc. If you could please post again with more detail as to what you like help with training, I or another expert would be glad to help you :-)

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. We would be happy to try to help you sort out Jordan's behavior, but we need more information! Please consider reposting on the forum with more information and specific descriptions of what behaviors you are having trouble with. That way, one of us can help you find solutions. I hope this is helpful!

I would recommend taking Maybell to training classes and working with her outside of the house first. Once she knows you are in charge it should carry over into the house as well. I would highly recommend getting her spayed too. Getting her spayed is better for her general health but sometimes can help with behavioral issues as well. I hope that helps and thanks for using pet coach

Hi and thanks for posting on PetCoach! Attention span will get better with age, but implementing a new training technique can help grab and keep his attention too. One simple technique can you try is introducing the 'watch me' command. Say "watch me", point to yourself, and when Jack looks at you, give a high value reward such as very tasty treat. Practice this technique daily. I have linked a helpful video to help you get started. https://youtu.be/BgGi2CqQ8Xw I hope this helps!

Hi there. If you have access to a good puppy kindergarten class in your area, I would definitely recommend signing up - the instructor can show you how to start working with your pup to help her understand what you want and develop a good relationship with her. This normally involves using treats or other rewards your pup enjoys, and teaching her that good things happen for her when she pays attention to you. I also highly recommend the book "Perfect Puppy in 7 Days," by Dr. Sophia Yin. It's a great resource for more detailed information on raising a puppy.

The absolute best way to handle this is with a trainer to work with you and Bear. I would recommend a trainer that comes to your home to work with him. They will be able to really show you exactly what you can do to have Bear listen so you do not have to repeat yourself. Your veterinarian would be the best one to give you information on who is good in your area. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
