Expose the dog to traffic by making a point to walk on busy streets occasionally.  Command him to remain in a sit-stay as cars pass, and snap the collar back if he attempts to move.  You can set the dog up for a car chasing correction by having a friend armed with several cans filled with rocks, for noise effect, drive up to or past the area where the dog starts chasing.  Instruct the helper to put on the brakes as fast and noisily as possible when the dog is at a full chase.  When the car comes to a screeching halt, have the helper jump out of the car and create enormous noise and chaos by throwing the cans near the dog.

If the dog is not likely to bite, have the helper aggressively chase him home, throwing cans behind him.  Repeat the setup with different cars, and if possible, different people, until the dog refrains from chasing cars.  You can also use the corrections for car chasing when a dog acquires the nasty, dangerous habit of chasing bikers, joggers, and horseback riders.

But keep in mind it is up to you to train your puppy to use the crate. For many people crate training is very hard as you may have the tendency to give in to your puppy is she cries.

Like with a baby, training can be harder on the trainer than the one getting trained.

Here are some tips to help you get started.

1.  Make it so the puppy sees the crate in a positive light.  Leave the door open so you can explore the crate together in a non-threatening way. Allow her to walk in and out of it; don’t shut the door on her yet.

2.  Put her things in the crate. You want her to not only be comfortable when she’s in it, but you want it to have familiar smells. Her mat or blanket and maybe her favorite toy are options.

3.  Put the crate where she can still be a part of your life. For example, put it in the room where you watch TV and not outside around the back corner of the house. She wants to see and monitor the action.

4.  Start putting her in it for very short periods of time. If you say “kennel”, walk over to the crate, throw a treat in it, and matter-of-factly shut the door when she goes in, she’ll be okay with it for a short while.

The best time to start this is right after a play session when she’s tired. Do not leave her in there for very long. You’ll want to gradually build up to longer and longer sessions. Eventually when she hears the word “kennel”, she will go inside the crate and wait for her treat.

5.  Never give her attention if she is whining to be let out. If she whines and you let her out, she’s learned this is the way to have you open the door and every time you do that, you reinforce this behavior.

6. Remember the crate is not a substitution for your attention. If you’re home and able to watch your pup, then don’t put her in the crate. Better yet, play with her often and encourage her to use the crate when she wants to rest.

7.  Puppies do not like to “go” where they live, so it usually doesn’t take too long for them to learn to hold it while they’re in the crate. This means you must be diligent in letting your dog out often to relieve herself.

Crate training your puppy results in a puppy who is housebroken fairly quickly, has a safe place to stay when you’re not around, and has her own haven.

Yet there might be one aspect of his little budding personality that you might not be so fond of – his chewing. Oh sure, if your little canine friend could find a way to limit his chewing to chew toys and other approved materials, you would have no problem.

Unfortunately, it seems that he has declared anything and everything fair game, whether it is your pair of prized slippers, or your purse. Something has to give – preferably your dog’s habit.

Here are four ways to stop your pup from being chew-happy.

Have plenty of appropriate chew toys around – not just one or two. Having one or two in every room where your dog may spend any amount of time will actually increase the likelihood that he will make a good choice and go straight for the chew toy rather than your Gucci handbag.

If an accident does happen, and you catch your dog in the act of happily chewing up yet another pay of shoes, simply take away the item and replace it with a chew toy. Do not scold him, do not yell, simply praise him for taking the other chew toy – after all, you want him to chew, so if you scold him, he may think that his chewing itself is wrong.

Additionally, do not select chew toys that mimic forbidden chew items, such as shoes, newspapers, or pillows. Manufacturers love to shape chew toys into these items, but to a pup it is simply confusing why one shoe is okay to chew on (the one made from rawhide) and one is not (the one made from imported Italian leather).

If your dog has the unfortunate habit of chewing on the furniture, you probably have a bigger problem on your hands. Giving him plenty of appropriate chew toys is still important, but you may need to also take on some chemical warfare.

There are several products on the market that you can spray on furniture and bedding that will give these items a taste so bad that your dog will stay away from them. The downside to this approach rests on the fact that it is only temporary, and some dogs do not appear to be affected by it altogether.

Yet if you do have a dog that is negatively affected by the smell, you will have bought yourself some time during which to redirect his urge to chew to the more acceptable materials that are available.

Do not lead your dog into temptation. Do not leave your dog alone with your nice, new, fresh smelling leather shoes in easy reach.

Similarly, do not leave your couch cushion on which you spilled this morning’s bacon grease sitting there with the thought that you will get to it later. Such smells are a strong temptation for dogs, and perhaps one that he cannot withstand for hours.

Some veterinarians will suggest for you to crate your dog. While this approach works, it is reserved only for very short periods of time, and thus is not a real solution for someone who works an eight o-clock to five o’clock job. Instead, rope off an area in a room where you want to keep your doggie while you are away.

Use baby gates to limit his access to other areas of the house. Make sure he can reach his food (if you leave out kibbles) and most certainly his water, that he can lie down comfortably, and that the area is neither too hot in the blazing sun of the afternoon nor too cold from the drafts that are coming in from underneath the door.

Applying the “Goldilocks principle,” the area should be “just right.” While you train your dog to use his appropriate chew toys, you can keep him confined during your absences until you are certain that you have been able to redirect his attention to approved chewing materials.

These messages are highly potent as the owner lovingly strokes the dog and commiserates with a cross between baby talk and sincere empathy, “It’s okay, no one will hurt you.”
The message the owner intends to send to the dog is the information that the situation is not threatening. The message the dog receives through the stroking and baby talk is that acting and being fearful is rewarding and pleasing to the owner.

Being consoled and stroked overshadows any information the dog could receive from the environment should he be allowed to remain in the situation without any intervention.
Furthermore, the dog is reinforced for exhibiting fearful behavior by the pleasure of being stroked and consoled. Avoid the strong temptation to lovingly comfort the fearful dog lest he learn to act frightened for subsequent reinforcement.

In order to get your dog to start doing tricks, you need to find a trick that you know he could easily adapt to. That is to say, if your dog likes to fetch things you could teach him to fetch the morning newspaper.

No matter which trick you choose to teach your dog, make sure you’re consistent in your training and you reward him for his efforts.

Your guests will be in awe if you teach your dog to sit down and shake hands with them.

Dog training experts say that this is the easiest of tricks to teach your dog. After you teach your dog how to sit you can start teaching him how to shake hands. This can be done by saying the word “shake” while holding his paw and shaking it.

Be sure to reward him. If you repeat the word while you hold his paw he will start putting two and two together and associating the word with the action. Repeat the action everyday and he will be able to do it on command anytime you’d like him to.

Seeing a dog dance is also another amazing trick that you can teach. Since many dogs tend to jump on people that visit the house, by teaching your dog to dance you can bypass that unwanted behavior.

When your dog excitedly jumps up on you to play, gently hold his front legs. Then you can command him to “dance” a few times after which you should give him his treats.

Then when guests come over, have your dog dance rather than jump on them. Teaching a dog to dance is usually easier for owners of smaller sized dogs, and in fact, many small dogs can dance on their own without needing their owner to hold their front paws.

Finally, teaching your dog to fetch something is a time-honored tradition. Dogs can be taught to fetch items and will remember the various names for items.

This can be not only a fun trick, but a handy one if you’re unable to easily get things for yourself. You dog can learn to fetch all sorts of things by name – toy, ball, bone, newspaper, shoes, etc.

Start with one word, and really emphasize the word. When he’s consistent at fetching that item, you can add another word, and so on.

Take the time to teach your dog some cool tricks. Yes, they’re fun for you and you’re able to show off your dog, but your dog likes them too because you’re giving him tasks to do and quality time with you.

The word “dachs” means badger but they are also called sausage dogs or wiener dogs.

If you own a dachshund you may want to consider taking your dog to training classes. Dachshunds can be very hard to train due to their stubborn nature. They are strong minded, energetic, curious dogs and can get into quite a lot of mischief.

You need to spend a lot of time with them because if they are not given enough attention they can be naughty. For the inexperienced owner this can make them hard to handle.

Although dachshunds are normally good with children and other pets, a dog that is over-indulged can become jealous and may become snappy and bad tempered, showing signs of aggression.

A family with older children is probably ideal for this breed, but that is not to say they are not very affectionate, devoted and loyal given the right attention and will give great pleasure to the owner.

Dachshunds, as with many small hunting dogs, are courageous and their body language and personality gives the impression that they are much bigger dogs and they are actually unaware of their small stature.

Dachshunds are an ideal breed for apartments or for homes with small gardens or maybe just a terrace area, but that is not to say they don’t need lots of exercise.

They are lively, boisterous and playful and need lots of walks. Quality exercise is essential for these little dogs and being cooped up indoors for several days with only the occasional foray into the garden to do what is necessary is not good enough.

This may lead to behavior issues because they do need regular exercise, preferably twice a day, to release their excess energy. Without this exercise they can quickly gain weight and with this breed that can lead to heart and spinal problems.

Dachshunds are prone to spine injuries and children in particular should be made aware of the weakness in the back and not be allowed to treat them roughly.

With puppies start obedience training immediately but keep it short, just 10 to 15 minutes three to four times each day, ideally before meals when your dog is at its most lively.

Plenty of time will be needed for dachshund training because of their stubborn nature so do not expect your dog to be well behaved instantly, but with lots of patience these fun-loving little characters will give you love, loyalty and affection for many years to come.

House training for dogs is a challenging task faced by most dog lovers. To train a dog in the correct way is a time-consuming process, which requires love and a  commitment from the owner. The house training process needs a huge amount of patience and regular attention during the initial period.

House training for dogs helps to keep owners happy with their dogs behavior. It is always best to start house training dogs at a younger age, around 8 to 12 weeks old. Training makes the pets understand good manners and common house rules.

Puppies go potty about every 3 hours. Therefore, regular potty timing is essential to keep the dog neat and tidy, by taking the puppy to the designated area frequently and less than every 3 hours.

Watch the puppy carefully for signs, such as sniffing and circling around an area. If you catch the puppy in the act, grab him/her by the scruff and say ‘no’ sternly. Take the puppy to the designated spot and let the puppy finish the job. Once the puppy is done in the right place, pat the puppy on the head and say “good ‘puppy’” (replace ‘puppy’ with their name).
When you show your puppy love and affection they are more likely to respond correctly than if you try to punish them.

A consistent and systematic schedule is necessary for the puppy to follow. Dogs give high response to a systematic schedule in the training process. The fundamental steps induced in house training dogs are regular drinking, feeding and potty schedule.

House training for dogs will make your puppy an ideal member of the house. There are some simple things to remember while training a pet dog.

Take the puppy to the bathroom area the moment it reaches the home.

Try to make the dog understand the purpose of the bathroom with appropriate voice message. Use the same word(s) for going potty repeatedly and forever. Dogs do not have logical thinking skills to perform every action simultaneously. Dogs cannot speak or understand human language. Therefore, owners need to repeat important phrases for any desired action.

Potty training for a house dog is a difficult task, but stable determination will bring out a positive result. Repeated wordings, which owners use a certain times, help dogs to understand the indications.

Punishment in house training for dogs may destroy the entire training process. A reward based method will be more rewarding for both the owner and the puppy as well as more effective. Proper timely encouragement works a lot in dog training.

Non-neutered male dogs have a habit of marking their territory by lifting their legs up. Neutering helps to ease the process.

To sum up, effective house training for dogs makes a perfect household pet and your best friend.

Remember that positive re-enforcement goes a long way to bond the 2 of your together.

A submissive dog normally:

•    avoids eye contact.
•    rolls on its back.
•    crouch down, ears back and tail lowered.
•    is comfortable on its back in your arms.

On the other hand, a dominant dog:

•    maintains eye contact.
•    is unwilling to move from his place on the couch.
•    dislikes grooming and petting.
•    is possessive of dishes and toys.

Training your silky terriers requires kindness and consistency. Generally Silkys respond actively to praises and to rewards. In addition, they become harsh and unresponsive towards punishments and animosity, respectively.  If you have a submissive dog you must be extra gentle and have patience since you don’t want to upset your dog. On the other hand if your dog is dominate you must stand your ground and be stern, yet gentle.

Here are the recommended ways of training silky terriers:

1.    Reiteration or Repetition

Reiteration is the name of the dog training game. In here, dogs are asked to do a task over and over again to achieve mastery. Dog tricks are best learned when reiterated and reinforced through rewards.

2.     Persistence

Patience is a virtue that requires you to tolerate hardships. Persistence is trying to be patient for a longer time until a goal is achieved.

3.     Praise and Scold

Simply put, if a dog does the right thing, it should be said aloud. Otherwise, the dog should hear, “No, that’s not it!” when the trick is not complete or appropriate for the command given. These words reinforce correct responses and diminish the unwanted ones.

4.     Rewarding

Bits of cheese would really be good treats for dogs who responded correctly to a given command. Other food can be bought at pet sores. However, if you are able to get the respect of your pet, commands will be executed even if there are no longer involved treats. Likewise, these things reinforce warranted responses.

If your lifestyle permits being in charge of training your own pet, you can do the training as long as you have gathered enough patience and commitment by:

1. spending time grooming your dog.
2. having regular training times on the leash.
3. stroking its belly and toes and rolling it on its back
4. hand feeding some food to ensure that the pet is taking treats gently and slowly.

In asserting dominance, always practice consistency and firmness. Afterwards, you can be a master and a dear friend to your own pet.

Training takes a lot of time, patience and most of all love.  When you dog knows that you love them, they will often want to please you by obeying.

If you find that you don’t have the patience or the time then it’s best to get the dog professionally trained or go to training classes with your dog. Many classes are held at the larger pet stores or your vet can recommend one.

A trained dog is a joy!

If scolded or punished, these dogs react by coming back for more. Though their dog does not develop problems of aggression, submissive wetting or self-mutilation, the owners would like to curtail the pestering while preserving the pet’s generally pleasant personality and behavior.

The following 2-step process usually meets these objectives. It does not use punishment or scolding, yet curtails the pestering behavior.

1. Command the dog to Sit (praise). Down (praise). Sit (praise) and Down (praise), then release it after 4 commands. Do this until all 4 responses are performed quickly (within 5 seconds for small and medium-sized breeds, 7-8 seconds for large breeds).

2. Whenever the dog begins pestering, the target person initiates the sequence of 4 commands, as outlined. If a set of 4 commands does not calm the pet, the commands should be continued until the dog noticeably slows down in executing them. Then it may be released.

The puppy pad serves the same purpose as a litter box for a cat. You can also use a litter box for a very small dog. You can also create a mini potty park by placing natural materials such as sod, mulch and non-poisonous plants inside a large plastic box. Replace the soil as needed.

Puppy pad may just be what you need for your smaller dog.
