training

hi everyone i need some advice on how to train my 3 staffs my husband was going to do it but is now working away alot so im going to give it ago i just want to start with the basic sit stay down etc and help will be very much appreciated x

I used marker training, which is like clicker training but instead of the clicker I say 'yes' to mark the correct behaviour and then reward with a treat. You can use this to teach any command.

Also here are a couple of links which may help x

Arm yourself with some small, high value treats and get out with the long training lead   most of all have fun and end with something your dog can do well.

Good treat idea's are tiny pieces of ham, cheese, chicken, hot dog sausages, spam!

Liver cake is Bane's new favourite! If you like to bake

Lots and lots of praise and patience is also needed! Just treat it as something fun to do and a great way of bonding with them and you'll have a great time It's so good when they learn a new trick!

The treats and links will help. Just remember to be patient and consistant as well.

i got the dogs some little treats and they have already started sitting when im telling them so thats a great start hope the rest is just as easy thanx all for the advice

Ah thats a great start, if you put the time in you will get the results, Its best to do short training sessions of just 5/10 mins several times a day  

Great news! Keep it going!

That's great news, keep at it
