SNAKEPITKENNELS,
I have always believed, and still
do today, that it is never
necessary to physically hurt your
dog, as a matter of fact, it is
against the law to do so!
I used to believe that it was
alright to smack a dog on the
behind with a loosely rolled
newspaper, (it really does make
more noise than it hurts them)
until I did it one day and came
home the next day to a shredded
newspaper.
It is amazing how far a dog can
spread one newspaper in a day!
To dogs, they live in a world of
giants, and the only way to make
eye contact is to jump up, this is
not desirable with any dog and can
be down right dangerous with a
large dog.

I have heard many nightmare
stories of dogs that jump on
people, from the pregnant woman
who was knocked down by a
Rotweiler to the little girl who
was knocked down by a Labrador.
These dogs should have been
trainer early on not to jump on
people, and were not, at this
point it becomes the fault of the
owner, not the dog.
If you enjoy having your dog greet
you in this way, you can teach him
later to jump when commanded too,
but for now, he must be taught
that all jumping is forbidden.

I read once about a rattle it is a
great training tool which only
costs 20 cents and an empty can.
Put 20 pennies into an empty can
and tape the top shut, this can be
used in several types of training
situations.
The key to training your dog is to
surprise him, using the rattle
along with a firm no, will usually
redirect his attention to
something else, the noise of the
can.
Keep one at each door of the house
and as he gets ready to jump, this
is important, shake the can and
tell him no in a firm voice.
Using the rattle with no one time
and the no alone sometimes will
eventually teach your dog to
respond to the no rather than the
rattle and the no.
When he learns to respond to the
no only the rattle is no longer
necessary.
