Question by dogluvr07: Best way to train dog to stay in yard without fence.?
I have a 11 month old lab and we was planning on putting a fence up so we could play with him outside and not have worry about him running off, but we don’t have the money for a fence now because our older dog has had a lot of medical problems and the vet bills have been expensive. What would be a good way to train him to stay in the yard, and of course we will not leave him out there by himself.
Just wanted to make sure everyone understands that I don’t plan on leaving my dog outside period by himself, I just wanted some suggestions for when I take him outside to play, and so I can have more room to train him better.

There is no reliable way to do so (including invisible fences). The dog will very likely get hit by a car and then you’d really have a big vet bill. I shadowed with a vet in a rural area where people just let their dogs roam and at least once a day, a dog would get brought in who was either shot, injured in a dog fight, or hit by a car. This is not Lassie or Old Yeller where the dog “knows” where to stay. I work with a local shelter as a volunteer and foster and they get strays in all the time with invisible fence collars on that failed, so that’s not a reliable route. If you want to play with him supervised, go to a pet supply store and buy a 30 foot long line (a long leash) and then just let him drag it around if you want to play ball or whatever. The dog doesn’t even notice the leash as it runs back and forth to fetch and that way you can always grab the leash if the dog decides to take off.
Edit: tie outs/chaining are not good for an unsupervised dog. If you want to do some yard work, that’s fine, but you cannot leave a dog on a tie out all day. It is cruel and will lead to a frustrated dog. Many dogs figure out how to get off them anyways and then go running off. Many fatal dog attacks are caused by tying a dog out and someone approaching it because they didn’t have a fenced yard. Just save up the money for a good 6 foot fence if you really must keep your dog outside unattended.

Have one person outside and one inside and encourage them to go through rewarding them when they do it. Worked for my dog and he was over 2 also. I did have to give him a push to get him going the first couple times then it was fine.

Question by julie(:: good ways to train dogs?
my family are thinking about getting a new puppy around summer time and we are thinking about getting an aussie or an APBT
(this wouldn’t be our first dog,but it would be our first puppy
i have had 3 dogs(im only 14)
and i trained my pit bull(he is full grown) with just treats(my mom helped though too)
and we had a yorkie we trained her the same way and my stepdad had a husky and he used toys to train his dog
what are good ways to train a dog other then treats that would be best for a pit bull or aussie?
dont worry we have a pit bull and we know about the breed and my family is experienced with them
and we looked up many breeds and thought an aussie would be best for our family
so we aren’t just getting a dog on looks or anything..so dont worry about that:)
but since we have never had a young dog before
any info or help?
we arent going to get one for a while though ,we are just thinking about it

Answer by RolyatYnaffit
You should use treats at FIRST, but then you need to start rewarding your puppy with petting and phrasing and yes, using toys. But if your always using treats, chances are with a puppy he wont listen to you unless you have a treat. So i say its better to: *phrase
*Pet
*Toys
*Walks
Things like interacting with him\her.

Question by Crystal: What is the best way to train your dog to use the bathroom outside?
I have a 11 month old chihuahua pup. I am having the worst time trying to train him how to use the bathroom outside. At first we used puppy pads, and he caught onto that for a while, but we just recently moved and he refuses to use the pads now. We have tried to take him out every hour, but he just goes when he pleases. He has never been in a crate. we’re not home during the day, and he has free roam over the house. Is there an alternative to crate training ?? I dont even have a crate for him. I need to know the most effective and best way to train him fast. No I will not hit my dog, so dont suggest it. My biggest concern is the time during the day when no one is at home to watch him or take him out to the bathroom. Ive never had to house break a dog before. Thanks for any help you’re able to give.

Answer by ryma
Hi,
Using a crate is the easiest method. In a nutshell, here are the basic steps:
1. Take time off to housetrain your puppy.
2. Start using a crate the day you bring her home.
3. Take your puppy outside for a bathroom break every one to two hours during the day.
4. Plan a middle-of-the-night potty run for young puppies.
5. Shower her with treats and praise when she does a good job.
6. Don’t punish your pup for accidents you haven’t seen.

The fetch game is probably the most popular and most used dog activity for rewarding your dog and giving him exercise at the same time. Giving your dog regular exercise is essential in keeping your dogs health up to scratch and helping them live a more exciting happy life.
Playing the fetch game with your dog is very easy and takes as much effort as you want to put into it. Simply take some form of ball, Frisbee, or stick and get your dogs attention with it, as soon as your dog has their eyes on the swinging stick, throw it as far as possible and command your dog to fetch the stick and pointing in the direction you threw it in with some enthusiasm to make it seem fun for your dog.
Dogs love this game and are happy to play it al day long with you, some dogs like the game more than others due to breed tendencies to please the owners. There are many different products available to help you with this command if you suffer from a bad back or similar and are incapable of bending down or throwing, this product is a long stick that cups the tennis ball and makes it easier to throw and pick up the ball.
This activity can be an energetic exercise for both you and your dog if you want it to be. Running around after your dog and throwing for your dog to fetch is a way used by many to keep fit and not just their dogs. A helpful two in one exercise to keep both parties healthy canâ??t be a bad choice!

There are many different breeds of dog and choosing the right one for you or your family can be a difficult choice as there is several different aspects to consider. This article may help you decide on the one you want by naming the dogs with the best training abilities.
There are no guarantees with which dog breeds will behave in certain ways and there will always be exceptions in every breed of dog but there are many characteristics that you can look out for when finding the correct breed for you, here are some of the top dogs in order of ease to train and how quickly they pick up the different tasks and activities.
Labrador Retriever
The Labrador retriever is a very affectionate dog that takes well to unknown strangers, very friendly and the best of our choice of dogs that are easy to train.
Australian Cattle Dog
The Australian cattle dog is yet another easy breed to train and teach new tricks to due to their passion for learning, not so good with other pets and may be a bad choice if other pets are around at your home.
Sheepdog
Sheepdogs are renowned for being a good well behaved training dog on places such as farms and holdings. Although good and faithful to owners, these dogs donâ??t take so well to other people who are not familiar, if you have many visitors to your home it may be a choice of breed.
Australian Shepherd
This is again a dog with very high drive to learn new things and explore things further but is not as friendly as the Labrador retriever at the top of the list and is not as energetic either, but is a good protector of the home.
Border Collie
The border collie is not as trainer friendly as some of the breeds above but is a very hard working dog with lots of affection and energy. The border collie enjoys challenges and challenging training schedules. If you cannot spare at least an hour of intense exercise this might not be the correct dog breed choice for you.
There are many other dog breeds around, and you may prefer other training breeds so before getting a dog be sure to explore all aspects to make sure the chosen dog is correct for you.
