tdayof: whenever m taking a walk with my dog if a car or bike is passing he will put down his head and won't want to work till d car or bike is gone BT if its a parked car it can walk through it freely! how can I correct dat habit?

Let the dog stay at the safe side of the road. If it persist, force her or tap her tail. My dog is also scared of crossing at 3months, running from cars, got stiff when it's time to cross. A car hit her one of the days and that was the last time she stiffs on walks. (No try am o).

Reward for dogs.




It is important to start training your new puppy as soon as you
bring it home. Training can be done yourself or a professional can
be hired. Local dog training classes are often available. Ask your
veterinarian to recommend a trainer or look in your local newspaper
for a trainer in your area.

There are two types of training: behavioral and obedience .
Behavioral training prevents and or corrects bad habits that your
puppy or dog may develop or already has developed. Jumping , car
chasing, begging , climbing on furniture, and chewing are just a
few. It is very important to be consistent during the training
process. For example, do not let your puppy on the couch unless
you are planning to allow it on the couch when it is full grown. This
will confuse it, causing problems. Taking the time to learn natural
dog behavior and satisfying the dog's natural instincts along with
proper exercise will help you communicate to your dog and can
mean the difference between success and failure.

Obedience training is training the dog to obey certain commands
such as sit, stay, come and teaching it to heel. Training sessions
should be frequent but short to prevent your dog from becoming
bored; ten to fifteen minute sessions, two or three times a day will
be sufficient.

Tip: training your dog right before meals will help them associate
their meal with a reward for the training and also make them more
interested in the food treat you use in your training session.
Before giving a word command to your dog, speak its name to get
its attention; then speak a one-word command such as "stay," "sit,"
"come" or " heel ." Do not get impatient. You will probably have to
repeat the command many times. Never use negative
reinforcement. Do not call your dog to come to you for punishment
because this will teach your dog not to come on command. Be
sure to keep any frustration out of the tone of your voice. If you
feel yourself becoming frustrated, take a break. Your dog can sense
this and will start to associate training with your unhappiness. You
cannot hide your frustration from a dog. You cannot pretend. Dogs
can feel human emotion , so stay relaxed, firm and confident.
Some of the specific commands are "sit," "stay," "come," "down"
and " heel ." When speaking the commands, say them loudly and
clearly, repeating them often. The dog may have to hear the
commands over and over, but will soon begin to associate the
word with its meaning. Always remember to praise your dog when
it responds correctly. This will encourage your dog to perform
correctly the next time. You may either use food, or affection such
as a belly rub, a pet or verbal praise as the reward or both.
A lot of puppy and dog training classes teach the heel command
only in the advanced classes. The heel command should actually
be one of the first things you teach your puppy or dog. They need
to learn how to follow. Once you establish this all other aspects of
training will be easier and their behavior in general will be better as
the dog will learn to respect you as the leader.


Tips on teaching your dog or puppy to sit:

When teaching your dog to sit, hold your hand high over its head
with a reward in it. Your dog will look up at the reward. Use your
other hand to gently push the dog's behind into a sitting position,
and say in a clear, firm tone, "SIT" while still holding the reward in
the air above the dog's head. When your dog sits, give him the
treat and verbally praise him. Do not allow your dog to jump up and
grab the reward out of your hand. Say firmly, "NO." You will have
to repeat this over and over. Eventually your dog will associate
sitting with the reward and will sit without your assistance.
Remember the training sessions should be short but frequent.
Repeat this method periodically throughout the day. If you get
frustrated, stop and try again later.

Tips on teaching your dog or puppy to stay and come:

It is usually best to teach your dog to sit before you teach it to
stay. The reason is your dog will have an easier time staying if it is
in a sitting position. After your dog has the sitting command down,
and has been correctly sitting for a couple of days without
assistance, it is time to teach your dog to stay and come. Tell your
dog to sit. Have two rewards in your hand. After your dog sits, give
it one of the rewards.
Hold your empty hand up like a stop sign in front of your dog's face
and back up slowly saying "STAY" clearly and firmly. Be sure to
stay facing your dog and remain looking at him. Go a short
distance and say with some enthusiasm, "COME." When your dog
comes to you reward him again. If your dog gets up and runs to
you without the "COME" command, say "NO" and start all over
again. Remember to verbally praise as well as provide a food
reward when he gets a new command correct. Start off only
backing up a short distance from your dog. As he begins to
understand what you want of him, you may back farther away and
eventually you may be able to walk out of sight and have your dog
still stay until he hears the "COME" command. Remember to be
consistent and stop if you become frustrated. Your dog can sense
frustration and it will confuse him. They want to please you. If they
sense your frustration, they may learn to dislike the training
sessions as they associate them with a negative feeling coming
from you.

Tips on teaching your dog to lie down:

After successfully teaching your dog to sit, stay, and come—
without assistance, it's time to teach him to lie down on command.
Tell your dog to sit. Show him the reward you have in your hand.
Hold the reward up and then bring it down in front of the dog to the
floor and say "DOWN" in a firm clear voice. Only give the reward if
he lies down to reach it. Do not give it to him if he stands up to
reach the reward. Again repeat this throughout the day as much as
possible, keeping sessions short and frequent.
Each training session should include any new commands you are
trying as well as old commands the dog has already learned—so
the dog does not forget them. Always be consistent. Important: If
you become frustrated, stop and try again later.
Staying positive and taking the time to play with your dog during
sessions will teach him that following commands is happy and
rewarding.

nani667: Is your phone branded ?

Yes. sprint . But showing on the notification panel but not on settings. If i press it from notification, it will tell me hotspot not supported.

Daily sending limit from Nigeria is $10,000 . You can receive any amount from any country sir.

nani667: Sent you an email sir....

please what about my own S4 which doesn't have hotspot due to custom rom?

Good day importers.

tdayof: yeaa @mayorall . got a little lesson from Caesar to the rescue, while taking a wall with a dog if d dog is at the front it seems to be more protective! but if he/she is walking behind you it takes you as his master!

Walking before you is almost same with working behind you. Both positions make the dog a potential attacker . The best is working with you by reducing the leash length.

aguizm: My little problem with my about 5 months old GSD is the way it plays with anbody it sees in our compound be you a neighbour or a stranger,once you are in the compound haaaa it will run to you wagging its tail like its known you for years. It only barks on strangers when its in her cage.The tin dey pain me wella

Mine barks at visitors, she is on her way to the gate any little sound on the gate. She won't bark if I opened the gate for the visitors but will always bark if any other members of the family opened gate for visitors . It's like she could recognise people with bad intentions, She barks at electricity workers (NEPA) even if I opened the gate.

kuzee: sometimes real bite,sometimes play
i got injured with those fang just once,buh seems to be tired of biting now since i bought her a whistle ball

My brother please train this dog. Take Alpha position. This dog must not grow that way. Your dog needs proper training. Let her know you are the pack leader. No wolve/lion/Chimpazee, Gorilla dares the leaders. Now it's human - animal relationship, train your dogs the way it should be, when she grows she will not depart from it

Have your own dog ever turn against you or have you witness a dog turn against his owner?

Please I need urgent response. Thank you.


mayorall do you have idea?

Dog does not know his owner

Does not know who bought him

Does not know who work for his feeds


Dog knows his master

Dog knows the one that put food in his plate

Dog knows the one that train him

Dog knows the one that take him on walk

Dog knows the one that cares for him

Dog knows the one that bath him

Dog knows the one that cleaned his territory


Which one are you sir?.


Solution : Renew your relationship with him, feed him, play with him, reward him, buy him his best food.

Nice one. Our product. Let's see how that goes.
