my puppy is a nearly 15 week old gsd and when he wants to get in the house he jumped on the screen and eventually ripped through now when ever i open the screen door he comes in the house when he does he stars to chase my little brothers, i do want him in the house but i want him to come in when i tell him its ok not when ever he wants to (at least until he's trained which will be soon) thanks for any adviceMy puppy ripped through our screen door and got in the house how do i teach him thats thats not good?
My dog used to bull-rush the door whenever we were going out or returning from a walk.
If your puppy knows how to sit and stay, you can teach him to not come in or go out until he is told to. Practice bringing him in and out on a leash. Make him sit and stay. Go through the door first, and then wait a few minutes (to reinforce the fact that he must be TOLD to come in or out, so he doesn't think he just needs to wait for you to go first and then he is free to do what he likes). Then call him through the door.
If your puppy cannot sit and stay, I recommend training lessons for the both of you. My puppy ripped through our screen door and got in the house how do i teach him thats thats not good?
This is horrible, and not because your puppy ripped the screen to come in the house.
He should NOT be outside = dogs are companion animals,t hat means they live with you, not outside like livestock. Your poor puppy is lonely and wants to be with you.
It is your obligation to take care of him and see that he can't chase your brothers. Look into crate training - that helps with potty training. When he is older, take him for group obedeince classes - you go with him and learn how to train him and it helps socialize him with other dogs and new people.
What you don't know about dogs is pathetic, you are doing about everything wrong if you expect to have a well adjusted companion dog.
If you don't want to learn and take the time and effort to train your dog INSIDE the house with you, then rehome the pup. Fiind him a home with people who know what they are doing and want a dog to live with them, not outside like a chicken or cow.
That is unfair to expect this dog to behave at this age. They need constant supervision right now. When you brother was 15 weeks old did your parents expect him to change his own diapers??? I think not, I am not saying this to make you sound dumb but you need to learn what you can and can't teach a puppy at this age and it takes a lot of consistent training. My 9 month old shepherd is just now becoming trustworthy outside with the big dog she still digs on occasion if I forget to leave her sandbox open and if she gets bored in her 15 minute venture outside she still jumps on the door or whines to come in. I have been through training classes with her and learned that I was expecting way too much way to early a lot of the time.
You may need to replace the screen with a piece of plywood until this puppy is better behaved and understands what you want from him.
My dogs are trained to always *sit* at any doorway and wait for a command. No mad rushing to get in or out of any building. This is most helpful for having guests over, and just common sense canine good citizenship.
Make your dog sit consistently, every single time you let him in or out of the house. He will learn soon that *this* is the behavior that gets him what he wants -- back in the house.
Good for you for recognizing that chasing your brothers is not okay, and not just ';cute'; puppy behavior. Too many times owners accept behavior in their puppy which is then terrifying in an older dog -- and they wonder why it happens.
Dont listen to people who say dogs shouldnt be out door animals because dogs have for ever been out door animals that why they have a coat, My dog is house dog but I know many people that have out door dogs, problem is the dog doesnt realize that he cant get through the screen he can see through it so he thinks he can go through it, you just need to install in to his head that this is not a good thing take him to the screen and show him he cant run through it and reinforce that with positive reinforcement.
spend time with him indoors because he's a young puppy with alot of energy and your his only companion. bring him in and give him time to calm down. if your brothers don't want to be chased they shouldn't run and a 15 week old pup can't be too big. But think about being a baby with no mother. You are his mom (or dad!) now so you need to socialize with him. Have him follow you around the house and interacting with you and he will calm down and learn what being ';inside'; means. Good luck! And just go have some fun with him. I love puppies.
Well when he's outside put him in front of the door and when he tries to go inside scare him. Make a shh!!! noise that way he figures out that he can't go inside without your permission and keep doing it until he starts to understand. Tell him to stay when you're doing that also. I did that with my APBT and it's worked perfectly so far. She always waits until I tell her to come inside now.
PUNISH THE DEED NOT THE BREED!
He should have been in the house from day 1. You should be taking him potty every hour or two, and training him now. You can always buy books, videos, etc to help you learn how to train him.
