that was ****. he knows **** all about dogs. to get him to stand you put the treat near his nose then pull the treat slowly away so he follows it. you dont make the dog stand up by lifting it if you are training it. he is basically teaching it that he is liting it. he doesnt say any clear command to the dog either

that was retarded that something different thing was freakin dumb

yeah it is kinda gay, but trust me the professionals who have to come into contact w/ your dog for grooming and exams will love you for getting your dog accustomed to the pokes and prods.

i jsut got a puppy a few weeks ago and ive been working on her tolerance to touching and prodding, i didnt really read anything about it, it just seemed to make sense, i took her to the vet the other day and although she whimpered a couple times, she didnt move a muscle during the whole exam (the whimpering was from the huge blue thing going up her **** for a stool sample, cant say i blame her for complaining)

I tried that move and that didnt work with my dog so now what should I do

is it normal for a gsd, about 5 months to bite ur clothes & ur feet sometimes? my german shepherd does it when we’re in the backyard, and it’s a bit of a hassle. should i be more patient and it’ll just go away?

rdowavic, no, it’s not normal. It’s a behavior issue that should be worked on before it becomes a habit. Problem behaviors don’t just go away. I would suggest signing up for a class in your area. It should be fun for you and they would be able to offer you tips on how to correct the problem.

i’ve found a method to stop the biting of clothes off the line, i put a trampoline under the line. And we are signed up to classes, they are every week. and is it alright if i use aeroguard to spray when the dog bites my feet? (aeroguard is like mosquito killer) i don’t spray it straight on him, just in the area.

rdowavic, Anything that is a mosquito killer most likely has chemicals in it that will probably harm your dog. You should probably try a water bottle instead.

hey thats totally normal. the puppy of 5 months is changing his teeth – in the sense his milk teeth are falling off and permanent ones come on. this will be on to 8-9 months. nothing to worry but if you do not like it you can dissuade the dog. but its fully normal n good – in the sense its not a shy withdrawn dog
