Question by ahren: Looking for an answer to crate training my dog?
Over the last 6 months we have been crate training our dog. The crate is the perfect size for him. Just over the last month, he has started barking almost the entire night. He has also recently started to pee a little in the back of the crate. He did fine for so long, but now it seems like a total regression. It is so hard to be happy with a dog that barks all night and pees himself. Please, does anybody have a solution?
The dog is in the other room of the house. The reason being is that allergies have arisen from other members of the household. We do take his water away 2 hours before bed and do puit him out before we go to bed. I let him out at night to pee when he first barks….but as soon as he’s back in, he starts barking again. He’s not in the crate all day, only at night. I really think it’ more of an attention thing.

Yea. Let him live outside of the box. How would you like being in jail when you did not do anything wrong.
Crate training always sounded cruel to me. Sounds like the dog agrees.

Jesse shows off some of his talented tricks; complete with his award winning smile =o) None of the footage has been sped up or reversed; Jesse actually knows how to walk backwards. The only effect added was slowing down the jump for the Frisbees to go in time with the music. The footage in this video is from October 2007 and March 2008 when Jesse was 2 and 3 years old. All of Jesse’s training has been done through the use of positive reinforcement and relationship-based training.

Question by Dandie the Dirty Dog: Does anyone know of any good Dog training schools in NY?
I’m interested in becoming a dog trainer and have searched in many places (yahoo.com, superpages.com etc…) and couldn’t find much for dog training schools, except for obedience courses for my dog, but that’s not what I want.

Thanks a lot!

Question by kinkeebug: Is training your dog in German is better?
i’ve heard many times that training your dog with German commands is better and easier for the dog. some people claim that the intonation and pronunciation of German is somehow easier for dogs to “get”. is this true? i have a beautiful pitbull girl, who’s very sweet and an overall very good dog. she’s been acting up lately, chewed up a pillow, not coming when i call and not dropping her toy when i tell her too. any videos or websites anybody recommends? all genuine good advice is welcome and appreciated. thanx in advance!
thank you sooo much guys, i’ve got mixed responses but overall says german is better. i’ll try some tips you guys gave. if not, german it is. thanks again! wunderbar!

Question by Rainbow: Any good DVDs or books on dog training?
My dog is a little over 1 year old, and I would like to learn how to train her better. She currently knows sit, stay, come here, and when she feels like it lay down. I would like her to learn roll over and heel but haven’t had any luck so far (she is VERY fidgety). Are there any good books or DVDs that can help? Thanks.

I also have a dog that is a little over a year old, he is a cocker spaniel. He was fairly easy to house break but when it came to other things he just wouldn’t listen at all!! I bought a few books from Chapters on training and it didn’t really help much, I got him to roll over for treats but that was about it. Then last month my friend told me about how there are online training guides with video where you can see the body language that is being used to train the dog, which helps a great deal.
Here is the link to the online guide I used http://www.labradorgold.com
I hope it works for you too! Good luck.
