Dogs can be very difficult animals to deal with from time to time, some breeds and types can be especially difficult to train and control. No mater how much time and effort you seem to be putting in, your efforts give no results.
Don’t worry too much about persistently training you dog, it might not be your fault your dog is disobedient, people in different circumstances may be failing to train their dog for very simple reasons, whether it be your tone of voice, not having enough time to give your dog due to other commitments like work or hobbies, or your children throwing all the basic dog training rules out the window. Here we will try to educate you on the difference a professional dog trainer could have on your dog’s obedience, and how much it will cost.
The options available for dog training
Group dog training sessions locally – four to eight weekly 1 hour sessions for around $40 – $130 (£20 – £70).
Private dog trainers visiting your home or work place to give personal training to your dog for around $25 – $110 (£13 – £55) per hour.
Dog boarding kennel where your dog lives with the trainer for around 2 – 4 weeks getting many hours of professional dog behaviour training a day for around $1000 – $2,500(£550 – £1,300).
What you get for your money
So what do you get for your money? Many dog trainers concentrate on different areas of your dog’s obedience and you will usually get a much better service for the more money you pay. Standard training classes and trainers will concentrate on addressing the chewing, barking, biting and digging aspects of your dog’s behavior. Hand signals may also be covered in dog obedience classes along with showing you, the owner how to handle trickier situations that can only be over come at home like housetraining.
General guidelines for hiring a dog trainer are to always research the dog trainer well, find out qualifications the dog trainer has in his area of expertise and seek advice and information for other dog owners who have had their dogs trained previously. Get to know your trainer well before handing your dog over to him/her and make sure you are comfortable in the methods he/she uses.

Unless you are making a burlap dress for the prom and are short one sleeve, that is a horribly stupid idea. A dog will easily bite through plain old burlap like butter, and with enough pressure your bone could break.
Not a smart idea at all.
Eric,
From the bottom of my heart thank you for posting this Vid! I never had a dog and got an american bulldog. After scanning all of Vids yourS stuck in my head. My pup only “got busy” one time in the house as a pup. And because his bladder could not hold to the door from the kennel. Your get busy command is the best thing i have learned on this dog voyage!! THANK YOU!!!!
thanx this will speed up my dog when she poos
good advice. i lost my puppys collar and have been letting him go out without a leash and ive had nothing but problems. makes sense
Good choice of words haha. Thank you for the vid. Do you happen to have any on getting your puppy to actually go outside and walk with you?
DAMN LOVE UR VIDS
get a pinch collar for your dog and every time he lays on it give it a little jerk.
Any children reading this DO NOT GO WITH OUT YOUR PARENTS , Please have an adult check it person out .
We got our puppy 12 days ago and this is working GREAT! Thank you!
i say run around the house.. gud for u and him!
and its soo much fun cuz they're so fast
…i think
loved this video too; i live in a very cold part of Canada and just got a puppy a month ago. I take him out regularily but sometimes when it is too cold it is hard to get him to concentrate. I will try taking the leash today and using a command word. Thank you for this video. I think if animal shelters used more behavioralists to offer free animal behaviour advice there would be less animals euthanised; animal shelters should try to help the frustrated pet owners as part of the process.
Crate training has nothing to do with house training when it comes to potty needs. You need to make sure you are watching her at all times when she has free roam. At the first sign of needing to go potty take her outside and praise her like heck when she goes. You'll need to thoroughly clean all you rugs to get the scent out as dogs like to go where the scent has already been placed too.
Only problem i have is that everytime i put the leash on my pup gets too excited and begins to pee before we even get outside… no idea how to deal with that all i do is just not even take him out anymore when he does that
wonderful advive!
First you need to go to a trainer who trains you as well as your dogs. Then, and this is the biggie, you need to consistently continue training the dog. Forever. Keep reinforcing the good desired behavior.
I prefer group classes because the dog sees that other dogs also have to mind.
A good source for experienced trainers is Association of Pet Dog Trainers

Good for you for recognizing that pinch collars are scary looking– they are a punishment and they hurt. That is how they work.
The best thing for you to do is to take a good positive reinforcement class and learn how to walk your dog on just a regular collar, or a front-clip harness that help cut down on the pulling in a humane way.
The following is from weekly "Ask a Trainer" Column that I write for a local paper and will give you some ideas:
Dear Trainer,
I have a dog that pulls like a manic when I try to walk him. I have never taken him to any classes, but a friend of mine that took her dog to class is insisting that I try a pinch collar. They look awful and painful, but her dog does walk nicely on leash. What do you think about these?
Signed,
Pulled in two directions
Dear Pulled,
I look at the use of equipment and training methods in two different ways, morally, and from a scientific point of view.
From a moral point of view
I have worked with thousands of dogs over the years, in homes, group classes, in rescue settings and in shelters. With years of experience using all types of training methods during my learning process, I have concluded that the only logical way to build a good relationship with a dog is to construct one based on trust, and punitive devices and/or punitive training does not foster trust.
There are people that will argue to the death that pinch collars don’t hurt the dog, and that they only “remind” the dog to pay attention. That is just not true. They are designed to dig into the dog’s neck and pinch—that’s how they work. Training is communication to a dog, and if people resort to pinch collars and other punitive methods, they are not very good communicators.
Also, consider trainers that work with wild animals. These animals have little or no relationship with humans like those we share with dogs, and yet, they are able to get lions, tigers and bears, (oh, my) to do amazing things, such as all the husbandry skills needed to care for them—and using all positive methods. So, if zoo trainers can get a 200 pound cheetah to present his tail for a blood draw using only food and a clicker, it goes without saying that we should be able to train our dogs to do just about anything, since they have been domesticated to humans.
From a scientific point of view
Pinch collars are negative reinforcement at it’s finest, which means they hurt, and to stop the pain the dog has to stop pulling. And, yes, they can and do work on some dogs, but I have also seen dogs with calluses on their necks from pinch collars, and in every state of stress when wearing a pinch collar. This not just a physical issue, but a psychological one as well.
Training requires that the learner increases or decreases the behavior, so if pinch collars really worked to teach a dog to walk at someone’s side, then the dog should be able to walk on a loose leash without the collar after using it a couple of times, and this is not the case.
There is also the chemical process that dogs go through when stressed, and that has to be considered when training a dog. Pain causes a course of chemicals in the body. The use of a pinch collar causes repeated stress and more chemicals, and that barrage of hormones actually makes the dog more sensitive to the environment and less tolerant. Things that might be, “No big deal,” normally, might become highlighted and stressful for a dog that is worried about a correction that causes pain.
The use of harsh training equipment can also lead to such things as fear and aggression. This can happen when a dog is “popped, pinched or shocked” in the presence of another dog, or people. These “corrections” are often done when a dog is showing normal responses to excitement, stress or fear, but are misread by their handler, and the dog is then corrected for misbehaving. Many dogs quickly make the association that every time he sees things such as other dogs or kids on skateboards, it equals pain, so other dogs or kids on skateboards must not be safe and the reactive behaviors often increase.
What are you teaching your dog?
Pinch collars, choke chains and other punitive methods of training are designed to punish unwanted behaviors but don’t teach the dog the correct behavior, and in many cases will actually “shut down” the dog. These punishers can frighten and eventually dampen a dog’s personality with the dread that they might make a mistake and be corrected. It’s no wonder that most people report that when they take the choke chains or pinch collars off, the dog no longer responds.
The very names of the different devices say it all—choke chains, pinch collars, and electronic shock collars: They were designed to punish and cause pain and have no place in modern, stress-free training.
Loose leash walking is not the “litmus test” of a well-trained dog; loose leash walking without punitive devices is what sets that standard. It displays good communications between dog and handler and exemplifies a relationship built on trust. That is not to say that dogs that are still learning to walk on a loose leash, or are working through fear or reactive behaviors don’t have a good relationship with their handler, it is the “do no harm” ideal that helps that team to arrive there sooner, and with trust intact once they get there.
In conclusion, it is far better to work with a positive reinforcement trainer, either privately or in a group setting if you think your dog would be able to focus on you with other dogs around, and teach your dog how to walk on a loose leash without the pinch collar.
I took the Puppy classes this summer, and we actually started working on some of the Intermediate stuff. You'll learn things like "go to your bed", more leash walking such as heeling, and also reinforcing the "stay" command longer. And some other things. Ask your trainer, they should also be able to tell you more. Good luck
