As long as your puppy isn’t extremely tiny and is aquainted with his new home, i think it would be ok to start training him/her. I began training my dog when she was 4 months old because that’s when she became used to her new home (wasnt scared, new her way around) and was starting to misbehave. If your dog isn’t behaving, it’s the perfect time to begin training. Hope this helps:)
i got a 2 months old dog, it is a good time to start training?
@MegaHorseRadish Also try saying “Uh uh” or “No” if he barks or jumps, then try again. He’ll get it eventually.

@capitalismforever Not true. The word yes is your marker, what you use to tell the dog they’ve done what you want. You work to get the behavior first, then you start adding your verbal command. They will begin to associate the verbal command with the behavior pretty quickly once they realize there is something in it for them.
@nexzus3 You are holding the lure too high if your dog is jumping to get it. Keep it right in front of his nose, like a half an inch away.
@GrandPuertolasRoxs Using force or aversives (physical punishment) is faster, but is harder on the dogs, and you generally will end up with an animal that is afraid of you all of the time. Using food/toy rewards takes more time, but your dog bonds with you and sees you as the provider of all things good, and is much more highly motivated to do things for you on the chance that they might get a reward. If you use marker training correctly, you can phase out the food/toys fairly quickly.

@MegaHorseRadish same thing happens here
@MegaHorseRadish
me the way i got my dog to sit is hold a piece of food in front of him (in between my frist three fingers and thumb) and when he tried to eat it i tell him to sit and at the same time move my wrist back and he sits.
@GrandPuertolasRoxs There are some breeds that are very resistant to this kind of training. They learn by positive reinforcement, and if you try to force them to do anything they shut down. This way is positive and gives the dog lots of good feelings of accomplishment and helps them bond with the owner. You start with food or toys, and as they start to get the hang of it, you take that away and reward them only with praise.
My dog is really retarded. All he does is bark and jump. I try putting his butt on the floor. Doesn’t really work. Advice?
Hum…this is just my opinion on this video: teaching your dog with prices as food or toys is not so good because they will think that they are just sitting for reciving prices and not by your voice comman is better to make a little pressure not so hard on thei back and while you do that say loud sit for they understand your voie command is the indicator fro sitting not the smell of food
This is easy but hard. I think Different breed’s train differently. I try this with my puppy, but she lays down every time.
Her mom is SOOO smart though.
my dog dosent want to sit he just jumps for food
Good video but I believe you’re not teaching him the “sit command”. Every time you say “Yes”, it may sit – but every time you say “sit”, it won’t because it isn’t associating the command “sit” with anything, rather, it only knows the word “yes”. Other than that, the video was good.
that is how u do it but it aint that simple….because ur dog wont understand , i tought my dog by pushing his bum down lol and then repeating sit over and over then givin him a treat. It does help to put the treat over there head xx i did it less and less each time for about 3 days and then he had learnt sit. You might have to wait till they are a little older because they go bonkers when they r very young lol
this works but when you take away the treat he doesent do it
@TheCrazyYoyo same, my dog does that, i think its cuase ur dog thinks u dropped some of it so he sniffes for a quick n easy snack without having to listin to u lolz
this doesent work with bigger dogs but nice video
@alexgoettge
looks like a black lab
my doq jumps to try and catch it
tnx nancy…. u taught us how 2 train our dogs this,. now we are currently teaching it 2 lie down
This doesn’t work! When I try to put the treat up, she sits and jumps up though. She thinks its beg.
@maplepenguin99 when she growas up she will calm dow eventually. all puppys jump bite ecrt when they are 2 to 6 months old..
Cool
