Pupppppppyyyyy

I just bought a shit zu x poodle omg ... heh... wondering if anyone has any tips on training pups and pretty much any knowledge really... I dont get her for 2 weeks ...omg its like getting a baby or something ... eeeeeekkkkkkkk

Look up behavioural psychology if you want to learn the right way to train your dog :>

Positive reinforcement is a better motivator than smacking.

Don't ever rub a dogs nose in it, they don't have the same memory we do, therefore your dog will just think you are a sadistic human who likes to rub shit in it's face.

I'd definitely recommend going to a puppy school of some sort, these are usually pretty cheap and will teach your young dog social skills. These are incredibly important to learn at a young age otherwise your dog could develop a fear response to other dog (which usually results in them attacking other dogs, I know through personal experience as we adopted our current dog that was a year old that had been neglected and it's an incredibly hard thing to train out of a dog.)

The amount of effort you put into training your dog is the amount of reward that you will get out of it :>

Also Congratulations - Dogs are awesome

(Cats are too)

Cool, Ill definitely do that thanks... I met her tonight and shes teeny tiny baby size so Ill wait till shes bigger and will definitely do something like a course and send her to daycare too so she can socialise during the day.... hehe excite!

QT - upload image to http://imageshack.us/ copy "forum code", post (or cull excess code shite and post)

Seriously you guys do that everytime you want to load a picture!!!! it took me like 5 mins to figure it out

Anyway this is my puppy.. I was thinking she would suit being called "Chloe" she's really little and cute.

*snugs*

Don't watch the Dog Whisperer.

Look into clicker training, it's literally amazing.

Choker chains, a whip and a chair!

man wot a cutey

nice dog too

She's off the chain cute.. but so baby little like a handful of puppy...

God the chick better get back to me I will die of sadness if they sell her to someone else

Do you have a dog bob

I'm not mature enough to look after any other life form than my own... I live vicariously through others offspring, pets and inanimate objects

last night I humped a friends lampshade (don't tell them please)

Best night ever

Ok.. fair enough.

are you high

yeah Bob, are you high?!?!

no I'm at work

serious face on

happy now

Im at work and Im high. :moonwalk:

righteo weirdos.



anyway how cute is the puppy ! <3

ALARM BELLS

QT your wee doggy would not be safe around this man

so what you're saying here OneHappy is you want your dog back

after I've cared so for it too

I think you might have deflowered his lampshade, and is now nothappy.

I doubt very much I was the first to take that lampshade - it looked well seedy

Admit it, you used that puppy as a wet-wipe after humping the furniture

I cannot not tell a lie so refuse to comment further

I will say this - it was not me who trained it you sick puppy

Ummm.. this thread got weird quick...

*steps away slowly*

thanks for ruining my puppy thread

stupid boys.

Yeah the dog whisperer is good with older dogs...The guy recommend above does Clicker for pups he looks good so shell be going to get schooled from him and I have vets at my job who can give her vaccines n things awwwwww I get her next Friday now eeeeeekkkkkkkkk puppppppyyyyyyyyy

The dog whisperer uses prong collars.

Wtf is that

It's a collar that vibrates. He uses them on dogs that bite people to snap them out of their state before they go red zone and mental. It's a correction device.

He did an episode on how to raise the perfect pup which was awesome and you should try to watch it.

Wait i've never seen him use a prong collar - just a vibrating one.

A dog vibrator????

Something like that

4 days til I get her ommmggggg

Waved goodbye to all your nice uneaten things yet? :>

haha yeah I just got a new rug for the lounge one of those shaggy ones which I'm going to have to put away .. it's too much like grass and I don't want her wizzing all over it...

Though she might be the perfect puppy who will just wee on her piddle pads in the laundry..

Booked puppy school yet?

If not -> do it now. They can be hard to get into, and you don't want a shit one.

He also uses choking and shock collars.

He is pretty much a bad, old school trainer.

Yep I was just look at it today, but it says Puppy classes don’t start until the pup is 12 weeks..she’s only 6 and a half weeks. I will definitely book her in with that Flip place.. I want her to have clicker training and he seems to be the best out there. I will get a place I’m sure of it, who could say no to me and my cute puppy hehe ?

I’ve been hardcore reading about puppy training and I don’t have a crate thing so I’m going to have to think of an alternative until my bank balance bounces back a bit.. hrmm lol.

I've been watching heaps of his shows recently and not once seen him use anything more than a vibrating collar. Real bad dogs he takes to his pack for them to sort out.

I love how he has his own pack of dogs.. they're all awesome dogs.
