At 14wks, German Shepherd puppy, Cooper, to basic obedience practice in all circumstances. This is his first time seeing snow. He has learned a lot over the last three weeks. We worked on his basic commands: come, sit, stay, talk (a bark), tell me (2 + bark).

I’ve been looking on ways to potty train a puppy, and I stumbled upon something called “bell training”, which means they ring a bell when they have to go out. I also read it’s easier for intelligent breeds (and I’m pretty sure an Aussie is one of the more intelligent) So can someone tell me exactly how this training process works and how fast they think an Aussie can pick it up? Thank you

Aussies are Intelligent and learn quickly.

Hang the bell at a low level next to the door and every time you take the pup outside to eliminate, hit the bell with the pups paw. The pup will learn to associate the bell with going outside and start doing it by itself.

Personal protection attack dog training video of a seven months old German Shepherd / Belgian Malinois mix puppy. Although this dog is not old enough to work real watchdog is prepared to do real protection work … much like sending a child to karate class. He will guard dog training at about 18 months old finish. Quality protection dog training takes patience, respect and knowledge. If a dog is trained with yelling and intimidation … how do you expect them to do protection work on a yelling man? Beware of people who sport dogs (aka schutzhund trained dogs) to be sold as “personal protection dog. Sport dogs are trained to look pretty doing specific protection routines on a training field and may be confused in a real situation when there is not a bite sleeve or protection suit to bite. These types of protection dogs are trained to stick hits instead of avoiding them and attcking to take that arm. This is because you do not hold the stick with one arm in the sleeve and schutzhund is a sport that is meant to prove a dogs bravery and show they are worthy of breeding, so they are trained to stick hits that are always used with a stick that does not really hurt the dog and are always hit on safe spots the body to take. This is setting the dog for failer when they need a person for real that is planning to hit them in the head with an iron bar fight Anyway., I hope you enjoy of the dog training video of Matrix … another client dog trained by K9-1 Specialized Dog …
