Hey there, so we are adopting a smaller dog from the humane socitey, his a poodle bichon mix i do believe, he is about 5 months, and has no forman training under him. The adoption ‘package’ that we are doing comes with some ‘puppy classes’ for him, but in the mean time, i’d like to get started on training him, since he is mainly my dog, i have expreinces with dogs, but not with training, any advice? :] I know how to like train them to sit and lie down, and shake and such, i watched videos,but any advice would be great.
I plan on doing like the basics like, sit, stay, come, heel, lie down, that kind of thing before i teach tricks.

SHELTIELUVER asked:


Toby is a 5 month old Sheltie. I also just asked a question about him being afraid of large dogs. He is a quick learner. He learned sit, down, come, and stay after only a couple of times showing him! I plan on doing obedience with him. The big problem is “heeling”. He walks well on long walks. I use a harness since he tends to pull. Unfortunately, you can’t use a harness when doing competitibe obedience. I need to get him used to heeling on a collar. He just sits there and I have to tug him to move even a bit. I reassure him and encourage him with treats and a friendly tone. He’ll move a bit and then stop. He refuses to walk at my side. I never had this problem with training any dog to heel. He is weary of alot of things. Should I try a choker or would that just scare him more? Any ideas on methods of getting him to heel nicely at my side would be greatly appreciated! I don’t want to give up because he is a very smart dog! He also is used to walking (continued)
with my older Sheltie puppy, Emma. He tends to mimic everything Emma does. Could he be refusing to “heel” because Emma isn’t with?
