my lab must be completely retarded, she doesn’t sit, lay down, and when i try to play fetch she doesn’t even look at the toy :(

I know this works but I just rescued a 3 or 4 year old female german shephard and she’s not taking to it very well. I’m sure she’ll get it. If my retarded lab can do it she sure as hell should be able to.

my dog doesnt listen he just stares at the treat but dont move n sits after like 5 min of looking at it. how do i make it sit when i say sit

Dude, there’s nothing to be proud of if your dog just sits before you even ask him too. You’ve just never used Random Reinforcement. whenever you begun your training, you always cued Bear sit, thats why he knows your gonna cue him sit again, thats why he sat in advance…

my dog listens to me and after i go for another treat for the next treat he doesnt listen.

these videos are very helpful I can now get my dogs to sit and roll over just takes some time to get it done

hahaha the little white thing in the back, lol

I have an itty-bitty chihuahua. When they’re used to having to stand on two legs to get things taller than them, this doesn’t work as well. Instead of sitting, she’d just stand so she could reach the treat.

0:49, look at that white dog.

godmodactivated March 10, 2010 at 11:32 am

the other dog comes to him because he knows that this guy is a moron who gives away food for almost nothing ;)

Mistb0a March 10, 2010 at 12:13 pm

He is well-trained. BUt my dogs way too excited about the treat when I put the treat on his nose. He jumps around and doesn’t listen to me. I need to train him to STAY, most importantly. But, like it says, everything is built upon SIT. So can I teach my little Pomeranian to SIT without a TREAT that excites him so?

jakeisawsomes March 10, 2010 at 12:53 pm

hes well trained

nightcrwlr01 March 10, 2010 at 12:54 pm
