On a more serious note now, I hate saying the same things over and over again...This particular issue has been addressed on several threads here on NL pets...
...

Nice n educative write-up. Why do people lock up talents and decide to joke instead...u shd be sent to remand home.

Coldplay007:
You only told us of commands that can be taught (which we all know)...
What would have been educative is HOW to teach dogs some of the challenging commands.. E.g the growl you talked about...

the ones who read the post are already commenting. Do read the post and comment again. Thanks

Overtime I've always wanted to teach an adult boerboel I brought home a few commands. I read about using treats to teach sit, but that's gonna take alotta time. So I taught my dog to sit by always waiting for her to sit before I place her food before her. Then I added d word cue as time went on.

Magpies:
my dog listens 2 four command,[sit,come,go nd inside]although i use force mst of d tym buh it learns quickly with!n 5 repetitions

Nice...what's the easiest training process u've had?

smileysmiles:
Well.. i talk to my dog.. like hes human and i guess he got used to it or sth.

If i say come and sit down here, he sits whr i point to..
If i say up... he stands on his hind legs and puts his fore legs on me

If i say tin ba gba ojue (if i slap u) he hides under d bed.

#thatsall

Did he just learn these commands once? Wasn't there a time u said sit and she didn't understand what that was.

arcbay:
My dogs sabi only ibibio... Only God knows where they learnt it... I got home from work one evening to meet my dogs gisting away in ibibio... Dem make camp fire, dem even prepare asun.... Na only wine dem no drink that night

Do you really joke with everything?

if i copied you and you don't contribute to this post.....lips sealed!

Dog intelligence is exhibited in many different ways, and a dog that
Might not be easy to train might nonetheless be quite adept at
figuring out how to open kitchen cabinets or to escape from the yard.
Novice dog owners need to consider a dog's trainability as well as its
energy level, exercise requirements, and other factors before
choosing a new pet. Very high intelligence is not necessarily a good
thing in a companion dog, as smart dogs can require extensive daily
mental stimulation if they are not to become bored and destructive.

No breed is impossible to obedience train, but novice owners might
find training some breeds quite difficult. The capacity to learn basic
obedience—and even complicated behavior—is inherent in all dogs.
Owners may need to be more patient, or creative, or both, with some
breeds than with others. Owners should also be aware that they
should never comfort a scared or nervous dog because, according
dog psychology and Cesar Millan, this is telling the dog it is ok to be
scared/nervous and this is the response you want from them in
response to that stimuli.

Commands
The specific command word is not important, but consistency in usage
is. There are certain commands that are accepted as standard and
commonly used.

Basic commands
Sit: The dog is in a sitting position.
Down: A dog is typically down when its elbows (front feet) and
hocks (rear legs) are touching the ground or floor.
Heel: The dog's head or shoulder is parallel to the handler's leg on
the left side of the handler.
Come or Here: (referred to as the recall) "Call your dog" equals
"come" or "here".
Stay: The dog must remain in the position (sit, down, stand) and
location under which the command was given until it is released by the
handler.

Advanced commands
Stop – a dog that will simply stop whatever it is doing and lie down
on command no matter how far it is from its keeper is a dog that can
be taken anywhere.
Back up – keepers of large dogs or dogs with a reputation for
aggressiveness can make strangers more comfortable by teaching the
dog to back up on command.
Growl – the inverse of backing up. Some owners teach non-
aggressive dogs to growl on a subtle command – not the word growl,
usually a small hand gesture – as a way of letting strangers know that
you and your dog value being left alone.

Op, I knw what Ure looking for.

Eveezy:
Bro ur dog definitely has a higher percentage of a gsd trait dan any breed u tink it must ve bin mixed with, pictures of a dog cnt tell wat it has bin mixed wit,all we can give u re speculations, we cnt give u any fact, anyone dt calls a breed dt it has bin mixed with nd tells u he is sure is a liar, our eyes no be dna machine. I like to use d term a "non well bred gsd" for gsds dt dnt look lyk d standard gsd. D only way to trully determine d breed of ur dog is tru a dna test, that which I doubt so many Nigerians re willing to take. So I would advice u to jst love ur dog for who she is nd stp worrying abt her mix. But I assure u she definitely has d gsd/alsatian trait at a higher percentage dan wateva mix. Nd 4 dt guy dt said bingo, y u jez wan dey use person dey joke na, d guy nidz help nd u saying dt nd worse of all u were d first to comment, well bingo is nt a breed of dog plzzz

chucky234:

oluomoadebayo:
Not everyone can do it right. I feed my dogs raw and nothing more, if I advice him to do saw , I know how many people will kick against me. Yes I give my dogs natural diets.

Baba, Hw dyu knw he can't do it right? Why dyu keep information to yourself? Noone is a dunce here. Teach him Hw u do urs and he'll sure learn.

U don't vaccinate, ryt. It's probably cos of the environment Ure in. Lucky you.

TVmhm:
