So I decided to teach jack to put socks in the sock basket (I will add clothes later) and I just started to teach him today in one session to bite the sock. I was surprised that after about 5 times he did it 9/10 times. I stopped counting after that but he it every time I told him. Should I do 1...

I am looking for a good book on clicker training. One that doesn't really tell the clicker philosophy and ideas. I know that. I guess I need a training book, kind of like an advanced guide. I'm ruling out culture clash cause it's not so much about how to train the dog, but to use the clicker...

I finally got a new clicker (lost my old one) and started teaching Jack how to play dead (or lay on his side). He caught on really fast. Before I tried not using the clicker and he couldn't figure out why he was getting a treat. So I phased out the clicker and started using the word "bam". He...

I'm teaching Jack to pay attention and I'm wondering a few things. First I'll tell you how I'm teaching it. I'll hold the treat out and wait for him to look at me in the eyes and click then treat. The amazing thing is he seems to have caught on for the most part already (1 session). He isn't...

Before I got Jack 3 years ago I was reading up on the best way to train a dog. Mind you I was only 12. I read that positive reinforcement and clicker training was the best method. I didn't know to much about dogs then, besides the fact that I liked them. I looked up the type of breed my mom said...

My dog Jack sits outside in a pretty good sized underground fenced area when I'm gone. I go to school everyday and he doesn't have much to do when I'm gone. So he's made things to do like protect our house and bark at squirrels (Actually he doesn't bark at them any more because he's learned...

My dog, Jack, is a very good dog most of the time. He does have this problem that if I tell him to do something he will only do it if he feels like it. But he knows he isn't alpha dog because my dad is. He does everything my dad tells him to do, and I'm the one that trained him! I know I can't...

Well my dog is almost 3 and I was wondering if I can still put him in an obedience class. He knows the basic stuff-sit, lay down, shake, shake with the other hand, roll over, stay, fetch, come. He just needs to be more obedient doing them. I understand he's part Jack Russell and being obedient...

I need to train my Jack Russell to come when I say come. He knows what come means or to come if I say his name and he will do it if he's in the mood to. He knows tricks (Sit, shake, roll over, lay down,shake with the other hand) and he will do them if he wants to. So he's very smart, he's to...

Well I want to find a sport for my Jack Russell. I'm 14 but I have pretty strong bond with Jack (my dog) and have trained him pretty well. I don't really want to win anything, I just want to have fun, though I don't mind competing in the proccess. I want to try flyball but the equiptment is a...
