Do dog training classes really work?

sourlime asked:
We just got a new puppy and he is learning to become house trained okay, but i still don’t really trust him on the carpet. I was wondering if we took him to an hour long class once a week for 6 weeks it would help him at all. Those classes I think are mainly for socialization purposes, but the vet said our dog is very social already. Would classes make a differnce for him, not only with house training but with commands and such?

My dog is very behaved most of the time.. and we have been letting her off her leash in the yard to do her business and a little playing time or whatnot.. well, today I came home and thought I’d bring out the ball and play some fetch with her and she loved it, only it wasn’t too long until the ball wasn’t enough excitement for her and she felt she needed to go check out the road where she knows she isn’t allowed, and I tried telling her come here, heel, etc. all of which she knows, and she didn’t listen, and continued to just go on and check out the neighborhood, and so I walked after her issuing the same commands, and of course every time I would get close, she’d run farther. She has never done this before.. I don’t know what got into her. I’m a little weary about letting her out at all without the leash now.. How did she all of a sudden turn into an evil dog?? how do you punish a dog correctly?

I have a 9 month old GSD and am curious at what age i can start his personal protection and muzzle fighting work. I know he will bite because we have performed the character tests as well as some pre-sleeve training at home. I’ve never owned pups. Before, i only bought fully trained dogs but my grandfather left me this dog when he died a couple months ago so I kept him and tested him and he seems to be born for the work. Any one know at what age Helpers are willing to start training? I’ve owned and handled dogs with various titles to include Schutzhund, KNPV, and Ringsport so i’m not worried about the work.
the reason i want muzzle fighting is because my wife and young son take him out on the days when I work late. She will be concerned with my kid while the dog keeps the guy/girl on teh floor until help arrives. Oh, and personal protection does not make a dog mean. In fact, it does the opposite because a degree of obedience is necessary before starting any type of protection work and even more is implemented when the training begins. If you don’t know about truely training dogs, please dont’ answer only opinions.
i’m not sure who or what you are talking about me asking a similar question before. It is possible however, that I left my account signed on and someone asked a question. I personally ahve never trained dogs but i have been a handler in the events and owners. There is a difference between being a handler and a trainer. I will investigate the acqusation about an earlier question however. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.
tripforyou, let me thank you for brining this issue into light. As stated earlier, my eldest son seems to be at a point where he thinks he is older than he really is. He thinks he can ask ans speak however and whenever he wants. Believe me when I say I will handle this matter personally. To clearify, i did not ask this question earlier. I have found who did and in what manner and words they did. I appologize to anyone who answered the previous question and was offended by the response of my son. To all those that did answer this question, thank you. Your input and opinions are welcomed though not always agreed with. This situation will be handled ASAP.

I need some recipes for dog treats, but small ones as I’m using them for training.
I’ve tried kibble, she hates it as a treat. I’ve tried cheese, she doesn’t care for it, I’ve tried regular dog treats she’ll eat them like dog kibble.

I have always crate trained my dogs with great sucess. My 6 yr old lab will run into her crate as soon as I even touch a kong and will sleep most nights in there on her own. I just rescued a lab/shepard mix. He is about 3 years old and gets tons of excersize. I have followed the same methods as with other dogs, meals in the crate, lots of treats and praise, etc. However he is still extremely fearful of the crate. I have been working on the positive association side of this for 10 days now and I feel like we have made no progress. As soon as he goes into the crate to get a treat he pops right back out and the one time I tried to shut the door he panicked and wouldn’t get near the thing for a day! I would really like to be able to reliably crate him for various reasons and have him trust the crate as a safe place. If anyone has any suggestions from experience they have had I would love to hear. I know the basics of crate training, looking for beyond the normal advice! Thanks

How can I train my dog to not pull on the leash when I walk him? He was a year old when I adopted him and I have had him about two months now. Everything I have tried doesnt seem to stick. So now I am thinking about getting a choke chain…. Anyone have any suggestions?
