RR Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 [color=blue]........there are no stupid dogs.......er, only stupid people :lol: j/k What breed is Duke? I think you need to change your way of thinking and training methods. First of all do you have your dogs attention? I suppose not if he's running away..........If you don't have his full attention with him *looking* directly at you, it is nearly impossible to train a dog. If he is distracted he will not be watching you. Therefore you can ask him to do something til you are blue in the face....wont matter. First teach him to "look" or "watch" by making eye contact with you. Hold a treat close to your face, move your hand away from your face (he'll be watching the treat) and then say "look" and when he looks back at you REWARD and praise! Consistency is the key, you cant expect a dog to know what your are asking of it unless you practice, practice, practice. If you teach Duke a command be sure to follow through with the praise and reward and use ONE word for each command if you ever want him to successfully learn. Be clear so he understands what you are asking and keep it happy, positive and FUN!!!![/color] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogPaddle Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Look or Watch is the most useful command we do in training class, I love it, it comes in handy almost every day. :iloveyou: My life would be very different without this command and definately for the worse.
