How To Train A Dog To Stay
In this article I want to explain how to get your dog to stay. Most of the time, when you get up to leave out of a room, your dog will want to follow, especially if they're energetic. Sometimes you will want them to stay in one place.
The first thing you want to do is get a supply of dog treats. Take your dog into a quiet room and have him sit down. Hold out the dog treat in your hand, letting the dog know that you have it.
When the dog tries to take the treat, close your hand. Your dog should then pull his head back. When he does this, praise him and give him the treat.
Timing is very important for training your dog to stay. Repeat the process again. Keep doing it until the dog doesn't go for the treat, and instead pulls back immediately.
After the dog is consistenly pulling back each time you hold out the treat, you want to begin the next stage of the process.
Repeat the first step again, but wait two seconds after your dog pulls back before handing him the treat. Make sure you only praise your dog and give him a treat while he is remaining still.
If the dog gets up, walk a few steps away and repeat the process again. Keep doing this until the dog sits for at least five seconds. Make sure that you're able to get the dog to stay while you're next to him before trying to get him to stay while you're walking away.
For the next step, begin telling the dog to stay as you show him the treat. Tell the dog something like "ok" or "good" after handing him the treat.
If the dog does not site for at least 30 seconds, tell him something like "no" and don't give him the treat.
If your dog continues to make mistakes, try for 15 seconds instead of thirty. If the dog continues to make mistakes this means you're moving to0 fast. Go back to what the dog already understands and build up from this point.
As your dog begins to get better and stays for longer periods of time, take him from a quiet room to an area of more distraction. Do all the steps above over again. This way the dog will learn to follow your commands without being distracted..

Dog training - dealing with house training issues
The best house training uses the dogs own instincts to avoid soiling its bed to train the dog where and where not to eliminate. That is the basis behind crate training, in which the dog is confined to its crate in the absence of the owner, and den training, in which the dog is confined to a small area of the home. In essence, the crate, or the room, becomes the dog's den. Dogs are habitually amply clean animals, and they try their best to avoid using their dens as toilets.
This type of training usually works very well, both for puppies and for older dogs. Problems with this type of toilet training are usually the result of not understanding the pronounceds the dog is sending, not being consistent with feeding times, or trying to rush the process.
While the house training process can be sped up somewhat by consistently praising the dog and rewarding it for toileting in the proper whistle stop,...

What?s The Best Dog Toy For Your Adult Dog?
As a professional dog trainer, people often ask me what dog toys I recommend they should buy and which ones I use for my own dogs. Here's the answer: Your dog doesn't need more than two toys. Rotate them, so he doesn't get bored. But remember: We're talking about an animal that eats the same food, day in/day out. And while your dog needs mental stimulation in the form of play and obedience training, they will be perfectly happy with chewing on the same toys, for years.
(Much the same way young children can watch the same Barney movie 100 times without getting bored!)So? what are the two best dog toys in my opinion?- The Kong. Either in red or black. (Sometimes you need to play with your dog and this toy a bit, before your dog gets interested in it? but once they do? LOOK OUT.
