Wouldn’t really call this a shitpost, it’s more of a shit post

I used Soy Trainers type of treat to teach puppies a few times in the past, and only feed them the treat after the praise key words “Good Job!” It’s hard at first because you have to take them out in the morning when they’re young, maybe they poop/pee and receive the treat, then you feed and water them, take them outside again, sit with them on your lap while you work until they want down, right back outside again.

It’s a hell of a time investment but I’ve had even small dogs figure it out before they were even 8 weeks old. Once they understand certain actions lead to treats and certain actions do not, it’s also a great time to teach sit, stay, go lay down, and come here. I’ve surprised friends and relatives by being able to put a treat on the dog’s face and leave the room, the dog will wait for the praise key words.

Sometimes Stay is the hardest to teach, but also the absolute most important. A dog who can remain calm and motionless is a dog who you have the attention of, and one who has great unwavering discipline. A dog who shakes and wiggles and jumps up is a dog who sees you as a friend and not any form of authority, it will not listen when it matters the most because your words are only suggestions.

My puppy is not food motivated at all. She just likes me throwing a party when she does well.

She is also so unfocused all the time. Totally seems like she has dog ADHD. I’m working on teaching her “focus” which is a command to stop and look at me with her full attention. I taught my beagle that and it’s great.

I’m also teaching her “chill out” as a command to calm down while playing too rough. My beagle responds to that as well.

My puppy is incredibly smart and knows almost all of the commands I use, but she’s at the age where she is like “fuck you, I do what I want”

She has also been cooped up for a while because of an injury I got and the winter weather. She listens much better when she gets adequate exercise.

My beagle was much harder to train, so I’m confident my puppy will get everything down. It’ll just take time.

My poor old dumb guy has been a month mess free.

He’s trainable but the poor guy is dumb as a box of rocks and hyper to boot. I love him though.

My childhood dog adored children, and would let them do literally whatever they wanted to him. When my little sister came into the family as a foster child, the dog went nuts over her. She did not understand how to carry the lil dude because she was 3 and has intellectual disabilities and autism. I have a picture somewhere of her carrying him through the yard upside down and the dog was absolutely thrilled despite being upside down. The dog weighed 5 lbs, so he was a tiny boi. He lived to be 18, and I got him when he was 4. He had a great run at life. :)

For fun I figured I’d show you today’s dress up.

Show us the puppy!

Congratulations, it’s a huge relief when you are able to leave for a few hours and don’t have to crate them! Mine is in her twilight years and has reverted to not being able to recognize when she has to go, now. It took about a month to de-train her from hiding under the desk in whatever dog emotion approximates shame. Thank goodness for carpet cleaners and enzymatic sprays!

Tinks ,

That’s so heartbreaking. We went through similar in the past year with our late lab and it crushed me every time because she clearly hated going in the house but couldn’t help it.

seth ,

Sorry you lost your pup, labs are such great dogs! The only thing I hate about dogs is that they don’t live longer than people.
