Question by : What is your favorite recipe for dog training treats?

Her first Labrador Specialty is in January a week after she is eligible in the ring. I want her to free stack better than the competition from the start so we’re starting early.
I have plenty of training experience so don’t bother there. I’m working on a recipe for training treats because I do not like carrying dog kibble around in my mouth while working with a young puppy (3 months old) on eye contact, conformation stacking, wooing the judge, etc. Thanks in advance.

Is there an agility club near to where you live? I would recommend you joining, as it’ll be great fun for both you and your dogs. The majority of clubs do require the dog to be over 12 months old though. [:

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.

Also, what are some other colleges in the Virginia, North Carolina area that offer these?

Question by pjandjenn: Dog Training Book for 6 year old Am Staff?
I have a 6 year old Lab / Am Staff Mix and he is VERY stubborn. He also has very little in the way of formal training. I need to work on this, for his sake and mine, but I can’t afford a class (or private lessons) right now.
I know the basics for dog training, so I am looking for a good book recommendation that I can use as a guideline. We need structure.

Get a good training book. Start with a leash and collar inside the house. Keep her with you at all times so she becomes sensitive to your moves and body language. Where you go, she has to go. You also have to establish yourself as the leader of the pack. That means she gets no attention, no treats, nothing until she obeys a command. Teach sit first, that’s the easiest, then stay and go from there. Make her do it several times a day.

Question by Kaitlin_Kay_:*)(*:: What are some good dog-training tips?
I have taught my dog so many tricks, and I want to teach him more~ but I don’t know what else to teach him. I have taught him the following:
sit, stay, lay down, roll over, stop drop and roll, jump up, sit up, kisses, shake, and hand signals for all of them. He really is a smart dog, and I want to teach him more because I hope that someday he will be a showdog. Please give me some tips! Thanks!
