I’ve heard a lot of people say that they want to teach their dog to drop things. Some people say their dogs just naturally like to get on the ground, some say it’s a necessity, others just want their dogs to know where it’s easy to get down. I’m not sure how to answer either one of those questions. We’ll just have to let this one slide. Drop it, then.
Well, this dog has a problem. He hasn’t been taught to drop things. I mean, he might not even know where it is. So I guess we’re stuck with this for now.
For now, we need to teach our dog where its easy to get down. I don’t know if this is just a quirk of our dog or if he just naturally likes to get on the ground, but I promise you that he has done it so far.
This does sound like a pet peeve of mine, but I couldn’t be more in favor of making the dog drop things. Because after all, if you’ve taught your dog to drop things, then you’ve actually made something happen and this dog has to learn that lesson. It may be an acquired skill, but once you teach it, it should be easy to do.
Drop it? I can’t be the only one who thinks this sounds like a pet peeve. You’re right, though. I’m all for teaching a dog to walk, but I would rather I simply do it. Because it’s not necessarily an acquired skill. There are countless ways you can teach your dog to walk, and if you don’t let your dog learn them, then you’ll be stuck with the bad habits.
Your dog will learn to walk by itself when given a good environment and a solid ground rule. I think that’s how your dog learned to go potty on your couch. To teach him that you dont wanna touch the dirty dishes anymore and to actually teach him to go potty on the kitchen floor.
I know what you mean. When I first started training my dog with a dog walker, she took a little while to get used to it. Now she goes in with her eyes open and is walking and walking on the leash before I even really ask her to do anything. I have a lot of fun training her with her leash on, but I like to give her a run around after she gets in the car. It keeps her relaxed and lets her get used to the leash.
The other reason I like using a dog walker as a babysitter is that it is much easier to do than having someone else do it, since you don’t have to tie her up in a bag to run outside. But I am also looking at other ways to teach my dog to go potty.
I have a great friend whose German Sheppard was born with a bit of a potty problem. He was never really taught to go to the potty, but he learned very quickly. I really think he has a natural instinct to go at it and he loves using a dog walker. Even if we dont use a dog walker for the house, I think he has a great knack for taking a long walk.
I know this is a bit of a leap, but I have been trying to teach my dog to go to the potty for a long time now. I have a small potty area at the end of our backyard, but she still just stands there when I go to the potty. I have figured out a few things that help (including the fact that she is very comfortable there and doesn’t mind it).
