Want to learn how to teach your dog to jump over the fence? Are you tired of being left alone when you bring your dog for a walk? Does your dog bark all day without any reason? If so, you have just stumbled on one of the best ways to solve your dog’s behavior problems. Here is how to teach your dog to jump over the fence…
The First Step to Training Your Dog to Jump Over the Fence. Check out the Urban Dog Training clip above. Watch as the trainer demonstrates how to train your dog by using the command “baited tongue” and having him hold the other end of his leash. What you will see next is the dog jumping over the fence.
In this video, he uses the clicker and has the dog follow his verbal directions. He then performs two actions: one, he gives the dog a food treat, and two, he verbally calls his dog back (this works best when the dog is very close to the rewarded behavior). After he gets the reward for good behavior, he verbally asks the dog back, and he does it. With this example, he uses the command “clicker” to reward the dog for this new behavior. After that, he consistently does it.
These two examples are great because they show just how easy it can be to train your dog to sit on command. Most dogs love treats, so you can use these two great examples to teach them the sit command. Remember to keep treats handy at all times to reinforce the sit command, too.
Next in this training tips video, he demonstrates how to get the dog’s attention using his hand. He places his hand in front of the dog’s nose, then says the word “sit” in a calm voice while waving his hand in front of the dog’s nose. When the dog sits down, he gets a treat. When he stays still after getting the treat, he gets a tug on his leash from the handler.
The final training tip he shows is to use his finger to train the dog. He holds the index finger of his right hand up in a palm forward position. He points the finger in a downward direction to his nose and then says the word “stay” in a firm tone. As the dog stays still, the trainer gives a treat and releases the tug on the leash.
This training tip was inspired by the feedback I had from readers. One reader said he had lost his dog because he was not using the basic commands he should. Another said his dog had a hard time following simple instructions because he was afraid of the reaction of the dog’s masters. He ended up using clickers instead of treats and learned that giving the dog treats worked best. Followers of this article report success with treats and clickers.
Finally, in this training video, he demonstrates how to train your dog by enticing him to do certain tricks such as tugging on the leash, walking forward and sitting down. After the dog does the trick, a treat is given. The dog must repeat the behavior in order to receive the treat. If he doesn’t, the owner gives a verbal reprimand and asks the dog’s next command. After a few trials, the dog learns the commands and no longer reacts negatively.
In this section, George gives an explanation of why dogs behave as they do. He then gives a few sample behaviors for you to use in training. Dogs have several sets of behavior patterns they follow. The most common are chasing and barking. When they are chasing someone or chasing something, they will exhibit the typical dog behavior described. He uses various methods to train dogs to modify their behavior so they only chase and bark when they are needed and so they learn to walk calmly without barking.
His next tip uses a great dog training audio with great tips to get your dog to love the clicker. After your dog has learned to use the clicker to command your attention, you can start using different treats to reward good behavior. Try using tasty treats with a clicker or a toy your dog has learned to play with. You can also make the treats fun by adding a treat whenever your dog performs the command.
The last tip in this section focuses on how to teach your dog to release the loose leash. He starts out by tying his dog up for 10 minutes but when he does not get control of the leash, he leads his dog off and gives him some praise and treats. He continues with this until the dog understands that if he pulls on the leash, he will be rewarded by getting some of his favorite treats. He repeats this process until he releases the loose leash and learns to release it when he is ready.
