“House training” in this context means: Training a dog to behave in the house; in contrast to “Housebreaking,” which is training a dog to eliminate, outside. This is a demo video.

Dog owner Jenny P. wrote to me this week and asks: “A little background before the question. We live on one acre bordered by a field, woods and the street (a caul-de-sac) which has no sidewalks. I purchased an electronic collar and intend to train my Lab mix to stay within a defined border, several feet from the natural border I have described. ( I plan to set up flags as if there was an invisible fence – only I will be the one administering the correction) My question!!! How do I communicate Read more [...]

Beth J. asks, “I am in the process of training my 13 month old Pit/Lab to “recall” and “random recall”. My problem (or his problem, I should say) is that instead of running TO me – he runs right PAST me! Any suggestions? Thanks! ” Dear Beth J.: It’s a very common behavior for dogs that are first learning the exercise. What you need to do is: Leave the long line on the dog. As the dog shoots by you, call it’s name once more and immediately step forward on the line. This will make the dog Read more [...]

NATALIE asks, “I have a silk rug from Turkey that I wish to train my dogs (black lab and welsh corgi) to not lay on. They are both smart dogs but I am not communicating what I want them to do effectively. I appreciate any guidance. Thank you, – Natalie” Dear Natalie, It’s a good question. And the technique for training this behavior is really cool. It’s the same approach we use to teach dogs to stay out of the street, or off the furniture. First, the dogs should be wearing pinch collars and Read more [...]

No owner likes to get a call from the pound telling them that their dog has been picked up for roaming the streets, but even the best trained dog can escape and end up in places where it shouldn’t be. In many towns you can find yourself in legal trouble if your dog is found to be wandering the streets. And quite rightly so as a dog on the loose can do quite a lot of damage to other people’s property, pets, children and elderly folk. Dogs that generally try to escape from their property are usually Read more [...]

Although frustrating, this is actually one of the easiest problems to correct. Teach your dog to sit and stay at all doors and gates and to hold that stay until you either give him permission to go through or release him after you have closed the door. By teaching him that doors and gates are boundaries that require permission, you will eliminate the problem. Start with your dog on a leash, and walk him up to the door. Have him sit, tell him to stay, and then with the leash firmly grasped Read more [...]

Basically, the dog needs to associate a negative experience with jumping up on the fence. But, this negative experience must have three things going for it. First, the negative must happen right as he is jumping up on the fence. Second, it must be motivational. Kinda like when a cop gives you a ticket for speeding, but the ticket is only for $2, you’ll probably wait until you get 100 tickets before you even consider changing your behavior. But, if it’s a good $250 ticket, it won’t take too many Read more [...]

Cheryl writes: “Hi Adam, I have watched 3 of your videos (Boundary, Perimeter & Property Training, How To Teach Any Dog To Walk On A Loose Leash & How To Teach Your Dog To Come On Command!) and I have a few questions. 1) With the perimeter training. I am using the front door. Will I also be able to use the front yard as another area and the gate into our front yard (from the back) as another? [ADAM REPLIES:] Definitely.
