Dog Training Commands
Training your dog to follow simple dog commands should not be a daunting task. Start your dog training commands by showing your dog several purpose specific commands such as “come here”, “sit down”, “stay here”, “heel now”, and “Fetch”.  Successfully mastering these dog commands will give you and your dog confidence and lay the foundation for more advanced dog training commands.

Its important that you incorporate certain dog training supplies during any dog obedience training so they become second nature to your dog. Your dog training supplies should a leash, collar, bait rope, crate, and motivational toys. If you start training your dog without the any of these dog training items later on your dog might become irritated and not follow your commands.

Dog Training Supplies Needed During Dog Commands Training:

1.   Leash
Buy a six foot long leash made of high quality leather.   Leather is preferable because is not heavy, is easy to carry, and last longer.

2.  Collar
Select the appropriate size for your type of dog. Irregular sized collars can cause irritation, because the collar tighten the strap when dogs tries to walk away and looses as the dog relaxes. If your dog doesn’t like the collar you might want to try a halter.

3.  Lines
This is the same as a leash but it helps you control your dog from distance.  Select a 15 foot long line.

4.  Bait Pouches
This is used to keep tasty dog treats. Bait pouches are made of canvas and are tie around your waits.  Its important that you reward your dog the minute he does the desire request.  If you keep them in your pocket you might waste time finding them and be unable to give the treat or reward to the dog when it deserve it.

5.  Crate
This can be any container such as metal cages or plastic carrier.  The metal dog cage is prefer because it allows your dog to see his surroundings. Today there many collapsible models to choose from.  The size should be large enough for your dog to stand and turn around.  Soft bedding material should be placed inside the crate.

When you start any dog training command, avoid distractions so select a spot in the home that is free of other activities.  Make sure you have tasty treats as rewarding your dog the minute he/she provides the desired behavior is key to a successful dog training command session. Once your dog has mastered a command at home, you need to take him to different places (street, park) and practice the command as many times as possible.  This will not happen overnight but with a lot of practice, patience, and consistency your dog will learn to respond to your commands. Only move on to the next command, once your dog has gotten the ability to block out distractions and still effectively respond to your command.

To avoid forgetting the actual cue words used during your training, we suggest you keep a dog training command log.  Use this log to keep detailed notes about the different training methods you have used, which methods work best for your dog, and how your dog is progressing in its training.

My 3 year old doxen won’t stop pooping in the  game room. He does it on a regular basis. But the weird thing is most of the time he goes outside–just once every few times he does in the house. We have tried everything, punishment and praise to get him to be good and we have another dog who NEVER goes in the house–we were hoping he would learn from him too, but no help. Any suggestions on how to house train an older dog would be appreciated.

I had a hard time housebreaking my dog (it took two years), and now he’s going in the house again. I don’t think it’s medical since he will hold it up to 12 hours when I have a long work day. He only goes at night, when I’m home. I’m so disappointed and frustrated. He won’t go if he is in my bed with me, but then I don’t get enough sleep because he’s big and wakes up at 4 am wanting to go out. I cleaned the spot where he goes with white vinegar and then let baking soda sit on the spot for almost a week……I don’t know what to do. Help!!!!
He NEVER goes when I am not home, and I never catch ihim int he act. I just thought I’d add that info, because most of the suggestions are focusing around catching him or letting him out. He goes in the house ONLY at night, while we are sleeping.

My husband and I just brought in a 16 week old puppy and I just began the house training process. I want him to go outside, but I’d also like to simultaneously teach him that it’s okay to go on laid out newspapers in the kitchen, just in case my husband and I aren’t home to take him outside for a little bit.

We also took in a 7 year old rescue dog a few months ago and she was never housebroken, seeing as how she’d been in a puppy mill for four years. She then lived on a farm with a loving family until we took her in, but she lived outside so was never trained. We’ve had NO luck getting her to go outside.

Can anyone recommend a book on dealing with puppy basics and also one that would help me with my older dog? If it matters, the 7 year old is a beagle and the puppy is a puggle. Thank you all so much!

Since we got married, we’ve had TWO dogs. One was a hyperactive chow that hurt the baby (we were in a condo and she just grew too BIG, FAST). Then years later we had a cocker spaniel – sweet, but she peed EVERYWHERE. I already have 3 kids and 4 cats and don’t have time to clean dog messes off my carpet. My boys – and hubby – love dogs. I’m ok with them, as long as they’re not too big. I’m more of a cat person. I would never hurt an animal, but I don’t want to get another one and have to give it up. I want a life commitment (its life or mine, whichever is first!) – not fair to cause that stress to any of us, or an animal, again.

But we are in a house now (rental,but house nonetheless) with a FENCED YARD. My kids are older now – 4.5, 6, and 8. The cats are all indoor cats, but get along w/each other.

I’m open to hearing "you shouldn’t have a dog" – or some honest opinions about what breed would be best We are in Riverside county, and I do not want to buy one from a store (bad luck and I want a dog that *at least PARTLY trained, primarily potty trained.) I’d like one that’s young – to grow with the kids – and the more like a cat that it is, the better it will ge along with me. Fluffy lap dogs are fine, as long as the temperament is suitable. Hair is not really an issue, but I don’t want a big LOG OF A DOG, without a lot of hair. I am familiar with a TON of breed (mom trained dogs for awhile) but I never found one I couldn’t live without. All puppies are cute, so if I can get beyond needing the "aww, ain’t it cute" then maybe I can make a more ADULT choice this time around.

I’m considering adopting an 8 y.o. dog. She’s my favorite breed… sure I could get a puppy and ‘bond’ with her but I believe an older dog in perile would be equally able to bond. My last dog did anyway.

What are your experiences in adopting an older dog? Did you find that they were ‘gone too soon’ (which is honestly my biggest reluctance). What about housebreaking? Are older dogs able to transfer that knowledge to a new household or are they going to mark new territory?

I’m curious to get a general consensus on this. So please present pros & cons.

Thank you.

We just adopted a little dog (some kind of chihuahua-terrier mix) from a rescue organization. She is about 4 or 5, but she was saved from a puppy mill so she has never been housebroken. The foster home was a little foggy on this; they told us she uses pads and goes outside but has accidents sometimes. Well, we got her home, and it is Accident City. It could be that she is just not comfortable with us yet, but she seems quite content and happy, is eating a ton, and playing with our other dog, so I kinda think maybe she just isn’t trained.

ANYway, I am just doing the same thing we did for our other dog, but we got him as a puppy and it was very easy. We keep her in a little pen when we are out and at night, reward her when she goes on the pads, and tell her "no" and move her to a pad when she starts to go elsewhere. Are there differences when housebreaking an older dog? Other things I should be doing, or taking into account? We walk her 3X a day as well, but I am mostly just interested in getting her paper trained for now. Thanks!
Honestly, the walk is more for exercise and it is fine with me if she only goes on pads in the house and never gets trained for outside. Our other dog uses a pad and is great about it. I just want her to go on the pad and not the floor. Do you think that’s impossible?
I guess when I said housebreaking I really mean paper training. Our other dog is a chihuahua and he is paper trained and it works great.
