Answer #1

Hi,

Enroll in a local dog obedience training class to learn the basics. Then most teaching and training can and should be done in your home. It is best to begin training in an area that is familiar to your dog and with the least amount of distractions as possible. When you feel both you and your dog are skilled at several obedience commands, then take these commands to different areas.

Introducing distractions may seem like starting all over again, but it’s worth the effort. In reality, who cares if your dog will sit stay when no one is around? What you need is a dog who will sit-stay when company is at the door. Who cares if your dog heels beautifully in your own back yard?

But you need to start there if you eventually want a dog who will heel beautifully when walking down Union Street.

Answer #2

you need to show him who is boss and speak in a stern voice like when you were being told what to do as a child…this worked on my dog..
