How can I get my 3 year old stubborn golden doodle to listen when walking without going to dog training school?

Question by Georgio87ss: How can I get my 3 year old stubborn golden doodle to listen when walking without going to dog training school?
I use a prong collar but it doesn’t help and I just think it’s uncomfortable for him. He is so stubborn and has so much energy that his mind is somewhere else.

Answer by Ocimom
Best to get the dog to a basic training class to learn how to properly train him. I do hope the dog is neutered because you don’t want to be breeding mutt dogs.

Walking Your Dog the Easy Way

Edit Article |

Posted: Apr 23, 2010 |Comments: 0

Four years ago, my husband and I obtained our first dog together. He is a mutt; a mix between a pure-bred Border Collie, Cairn Terrier, and some other mutt. This dog is a freak of nature, with the body of a Border Collie, the head of a Black Labrador, and the legs of a Basset Hound. To see him is to laugh.

In the four years that we have had him, I have yet to be able to get him to walk on a leash. He is a very strong dog and pulls ahead of me, regardless of how tight I pull back on his leash. Have you seen people who are being walked by their dog, the dog forging ahead as if he’s trying to find lost treasure, sniffing everything he passes and barking at every other living being he sees? Yeah, that’s me, my hair flying in the wind, trying to hang on for dear life, while the leash practically tears into my flesh.

Frustrated with my ever fattening high energy dog, I turned to Cesar Millan’s website for tips and advice. The Dog Whisperer is simply amazing. I’ve been a fan of his show on National Geographic Channel for several years now, and have been able to use what he shows in real life training of my dog, with fantastic results. Here are his tips for successful dog walking:

Walk in front of or alongside your dog, not vice-versa. When a dog is in the lead, he thinks he is the pack leader, and you always want your dog to know YOU are in charge. Millan also recommends being the first in and out of the door.
After you have established that you are the pack leader, let your dog do a little exploring and time to relieve himself. Then YOU decide when exploring time is over and the walk continues. Schedule ½ to 1 hour a day to walk your dog, preferably in the morning, because, as Millan explains, dogs are diurnal. Diurnal means that the animal is active during the day.
Using a short leash will help you maintain control of where your dog walks. It also makes it easier for you to communicate with and guide your dog.
After the walk, give your dog food and water. This lets the dog know that he has worked for his food.
Do not stop being pack leader once you get home. Make your dog wait while you take off your shoes, put his leash away, and set out his food and water.

Take it from me, these tricks work. At first I had to bring some pieces of cheese with me to reward him for not tugging to get in front, since he is used to being the pack leader on our very infrequent walks. However, after only a few short trips around the block, he now walks by my side with no resistance.

Thanks to my Cable TV my dog is losing weight, I am losing weight, and we are both happy. Thank you, Dog Whisperer!

The program is designed by veteran trainer and walker Kim Moeller, the San Francisco SPCA’s resident dog-dog socialization and rehabilitation expert, and Veronica Boutelle, the dog pro industry’s leading business consultant and author of How To Run A Dog Business. The East Coast workshop will be taught by Denise Mazzola, Director of the Monadnock Canine Academy at Monadnock Humane Society in New Hampshire.

Plymouth Pet Care – Plymouth Dog Training ‘Dog Whisperer’ Dog Boarding, Dog Walking & Behaviour Specialist’s Take Devon by Storm

Plymouth Dog Training

(PRWEB) July 26, 2010

Plymouth Pet Care specialise in looking after pets and understand that many of you would prefer your pets to be cared for in their own environment. We recognise that it is often traumatic for an animal to be sent to a Cattery or Kennel. Many of us have difficulty giving a pet the time and attention it needs due to work commitments. Plymouth Pet Care home visits and home from home boarding will put your mind at rest, secure in the knowledge that: ‘Your pet is our privilege.’

Specialist Dog Trainers

Plymouth Dog Behaviour Training (R+ (CANRG) = Pack leader. People argue between Victoria Stilwell Positive Reinforcement (R+) method and Cesar Milan immersion therapy methods. At times people will label a canine issue as requiring dog training or dog behaviour rehabilitation, instead of implementing both. Also using pet care services like our Plymouth dog walking for regular exercise, or home boarding; Plymouth Dog Boarding or Plymouth Dog Sitting visits can be less stressful than Kennels or being home all day that lead to many behaviours.

Plymouth Dog Training leadership program is a effective training approach that establishes and enhances communication, by calm assertive energy (CANRG) leadership, positive reinforcement (R+) but in the appropriate circumstances with structure, setting rules and boundaries. We personally feel long term use of treats or lures to keep a dog’s attention actually demonstrates a lack of these things as nothing in life is free. That’s not a healthy human/dog relationship.

Your dog like us is required to work for anything he/she needs or desires (food, toys, attention, access to the outdoors etc.). In effect he must “earn” all valued resources by first obeying a command, such as SIT or DOWN and NO means NO. The objective is to have the dog follow the owner’s directives and correction as and when issued. If owners are consistent with this approach, the dog will learn that he must look to them to obtain anything he needs or wants, such as food, freedom, play, and social interaction. If the dog learns to respect and trust his owners in this way, he will be more likely to turn to them for direction when he’s feeling challenged or fearful and will be more likely to need directions or you can also stop unwanted behaviour by command.

Dog Behaviour mostly come from a lack of exercise, and dominance from a lack of leadership calm-assertive energy (CANRG). Plymouth Pet Care will show you how you how to be pack leader with Positive Reinforcement (R+) & (CANRG). Effective rehabilitation of your dog will also require commitment and willingness from you the owner. “Dog & Owner trained ” Nothing in life is free (R+ (CANRG) = Pack leader. We only use non-harsh methods “Not punitive” (no punishment) no gimmicks, specialising in all behaviours all breeds. How to Control Problem Dog Behaviours Read More
