Would it be feasible to charge people to train their dogs to do tricks?

Question by primalwhiteknight: Would it be feasible to charge people to train their dogs to do tricks?
I am not very interested in obedience, but I love to do agility, flyball and especially trick training. Without the obedience classes, would a dog training center still be feasible? Would you go?
Our flyball “club” does charge for introduction training as it takes away alot of training time from the active canine members.

I was planning on a dog daycare, with classes in the evening. The dog daycare is feasible where I live, the classes would be fun.

How can I train my dog to do tricks?

Question by JazzOne: How can I train my dog to do tricks?
A lot of people on here advise taking a dog to obedience school. My dog does NOT have any serious behavior issues, and I have no desire to go to obedience classes. I’m just interested in teaching her to do some funny stuff like roll over, play dead, sit up and beg, etc. I got her from the pound. She is 3 years old. I started off by teaching her “sit,” and we are now working on “down.” But she really only listens if I have some treats out. Without the food, she won’t necessarily do the trick. Also, she won’t always come to me when I call her. She doesn’t run away or anything like that, but when she’s comfortable on the bed, she may or may not come when I call her. Any suggestions? How long should I spend training per session? How many sessions per day? Are cut up hot dogs a suitable treat? I’m afraid to give her too many because I don’t want to upset her stomach and cause her to have an accident in the house. Thanks!
Barbara: I’m not sure what you mean. My dog is small. She is completely house broken. She does not bite, and she hardly ever barks. She has only destroyed one thing in my apartment (the mini blinds), and that was because she misses me when I leave so she tries to look out the window. I have done some crate training to fix that. The only thing left to do is tricks! She never is off the leash in public.

Question by eatyourself666: OLD dog litter training, can i teach an old dog new tricks? o-0?
got a very old dog in an apt housing, he’s been at a house all his life and is used to going through a doggy door, im wanting to train him to use a litter box, any tips for helping this to happen? i have a cat too, should i give them seperate boxes? is it possible to train a dog that has to “walk it out” to use a confined area like that to go? can he learn to do it while being still? he’s old and i love him but im tired of the smell, if i can teach him i’d like to try, cant stand walking him with my busy schedule and even when i do he messes anyway because he cant even last my work hours without going… more description he’s um about 14 yrs old in human years, nearly blind, nearly deaf, not quite completely either, he’s a mutt, midsized, maybe 13 pds, pointers would be great, or any contact nfo2 people that work with pets would be awsome, thanks

p.s. i’ve read a bit of pet pads, any of them work good? odor attraction type pads i mean, im interested but skeptical, any success stories?

How do I train my dog these tricks?

Question by Shaylee: How do I train my dog these tricks?
So im getting a dog soon, and I want to train him some tricks that aren’t your typical tricks. I want to teach him how to “super bark” from the movie ‘Bolt’ (2008) and I dont know how to go upon that.
actually FYI it’s not just a normal bark. Anybody who isn’t stupid knows that. I want to teach him how to move his paws and growl with his head back first. If you dont have a helpful answer dont answer. (To ‘rawr’)

Answer by Rawr<3
that’s somewhat not a real thing… its just a normal bark.

How can I train my dog simple tricks?

Question by Ashley: How can I train my dog simple tricks?
I have a mixed dog, half Poodle half Schnauzer. He’s 2 and a half year old, and I was wondering how I can train him simple tricks? He already knows sit, stay, stand, and he answers by his name most of the time.
I was wondering how I can train him to like poo or pee in newspaper,
or rollover, playdead, and all that stuff.

Thanks!

Answer by Erika ♥♥ Luv My Labs ♥♥
Well, I wouldn’t advise you to teach him to potty in your home on newspapers. Google Crate Training and follow the directions – at his age, he should already be house trained.

As for other tricks – you can either google for the tricks or purchase a dog training book – there are 100s of them out there.

You can also sign up for obedience classes – that is the best way to train your dog in my opinion.

Q&A: is there any way to tell before you start training your dog what kinds of tricks they’ll do well with?

Question by kelleygaither2000: is there any way to tell before you start training your dog what kinds of tricks they’ll do well with?

Best answer:

Answer by jenius.woop
Yes, depends what kind of dog you have? Usually larger breeds like Labs, Golden Retrievers etc are very good learners so basically anything! If you got a smaller dog, they tend to have a shorter attention span so teach em tricks in small bursts with treats to keep em keen to learn. Start with the basics, sit, stay, fetch etc, and most dogs can learn ”shake”, ‘roll over’, ‘drop’. If you got a breed like German Shepard then you may want to teach it ”weaving” where you get poles lined up and then they weave through them one by one. Good Luck!
