Sirius puppy training (Basic Manners and Obedience)?

Posted: February 2nd, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Common Questions | Tags: , , , , , | 7 Comments »

Have any of you taken this course? Is it worth the 200 bucks for the sessions? Our girl already knows how to sit, lay down, shake, roll over and she’s just a super dog. However, we do want to take her to professional training in case there are good tips, advice we are missing out on. I’d appreciate any feedback. Thx!


At what age is a good age to start teaching a puppy basic obedience commands?

Posted: February 1st, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Common Questions | Tags: , , , , , , | 13 Comments »

I have a Sheltie pup who just turned 12 weeks (3 months). I was going to start teaching him to “sit” today and then also start introducing the recall or “come” command on the lead as well. I thought 2- 10 minute sessions for the next 2 weeks would be sufficient. He’s walking nicely on the leash but I’m not worried about “heeling” yet. He’s too young. I thought next week, I’d introduce “down” and “stay” on lead. At 14-weeks-old, I think we can progress to the recall and stay off lead but still close.
I have obedience trained dogs before but never this young. I am going to take him to puppy kindergarten in 2 weeks and he may be ahead but that’s okay.
I like to use treats as rewards along with TONS of praise (of course). i tried the clicker but find it just too cumbersome and didn’t like it. I think it’s more suitable for dogs that aren’t quite as easy to train. Shelties are so incredibly smart though and learn so quickly that I think a simple “Good Boy” and a tiny Cheerio will suffice, don’t you?

THANKS FOR ANY OTHER ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may want to do AKC obedience with him. I definitely wan to do agility with him so that’s why I really want him to learn these obedience basics now.
