Training

[telf 15]

do any of you lads think its any differnt training a pup thats kenneld to a pup that lives in doors.

No

 

The problem with a dog that lives indoors is people. The temptation to tell it off, kids to play tug with it, confuse the dog are all OUR problems not the dogs.

Words of wisdom , couldn't agree more , way too much stimulation for a puppy mind in the home which should be sleeping most of the day , TV radio , kids , Xbox , noise ,

A pup is born social , when we stimulate in the home we cause excitement ,and when a pup is excited it Needs to bite something anything , and we then start confronting for problems we caused in the first place by making the home a play area to a puppy mind ,

 

Get it out , little run little kennel and let the wee f****r relax without having to constantly confront him

mine are all kennelled but they come in as puppies until they are about 6 months old and are crate trained they don't live in crates they just know that's their space.

My kids are grown up but we have a dog day care/boarding business so they are subject to seeing all sorts of dogs and people which helps their socialisation no end.

Their training is carefully monitored both in the house and when they make the transition to the kennel.

My dogs do get in the house on an evening

 

Working dogs(Probably all dogs) need to have their early months full of controlled stimulation and new experiences it makes for a calm and well rounded working dog.

The current thinking in dog Dom today and I can see where your coming from stroller, is that a pup must be exposed to all this Stuff to get it used to live in our domesticated world ,

 

It's relatively new thinking and I can't remember it been around when I first worked a dog , mind you that's a long time ago now ?, and they were well adjusted animals

 

The point being that the dogs had a focus for their energy, an example of this is the greyhound, kept in a kennel til way beyond the so call social interaction date , just taken to the track and home again and stimulation free but can be re homed later in life and settle into a home without all the prior getting used to life in homes ,

 

My point is that a dog doesn't need to get adjusted to a house if it already has a good relationship and a focus for its energy , there are examples of this everywhere it doesn't need to be shown everything possible, it just needs an understood channel for its energy an a solid connection to its owner
