Dog breads
If the dog has somewhat of a hard temperament (one that recovers quickly from a firm correction) the owner should also consider a prong collar. dog breads Dog-bed. If the dog is a softer dog (one that takes awhile to recover from a correction) then a normal choke collar will work. When the dog climbs on the furniture, the handler should only "use ONE COMMAND" either No or pfui (pfui is the German word for NO). Many dog owners forget this very important point. dog breads Rare dog breeds. They come into the room and say "Spot get off the damn couch. " or "Spot if I told you once I told you a hundred times, get down off the couch. " The fact is that the only word the dog probably understood was his name. dog breads Training dog. He may react to the harsh tone of the voice but this is not good dog training. We should not have to get mad or even sound mad when we train our dogs. It's important to learn to give a firm command without sounding mad. This is not easy to do, it takes practice. To often new dog owners teach their dogs that the only time they really have to mind is when they sound mad. They accomplish this by not moving to give a correction until they sound upset. So, the proper way to handle the dog when it gets on the couch is to issue a firm "NO" and if the dog does not get down the owner should calmly walk over, pick up the drag line and give a firm "JERK. " Here again we see a lot of mistakes. Many owners will drag the dog off the couch or chair and not give a proper correction. The correction needs to be a "snap jerk," it's more like "Popping" the dog. Many new owners correct the dog with something more like a pull on the leash rather than popping the choke collar with a firm quick pop. This kind of a correction should almost create a little shock in the dogs temperament. We want the dog to realize that he screwed up and just got popped for it. The the most important part of the entire process is to praise the dog when it gets down off the chair. Dogs will naturally seek an area area of least stress. If owners are consistent with this NO - calmly walk to the dog and give a JERK CORRECTION followed by praise or NO followed by praise when the dog gets down. The dog will quickly learn that getting on the furniture is not in its best interest. If you have a very stubborn dog that will continue to climb on the furniture (after you have gone through the above process) and just get down when told then you need to change tactics.
