Thoughts on this |
12:24:15 My dog was taught to pick stuff off the floor like keys. I put a bobble keychain on it so she could easily pick them up.
She also would bring the mail from the mailbox into the house.
She loved the small jobs.
When she was younger, she could also spend two hours running in the dog park or the backyard.
It made her feel useful, it made her calmer in the house, and easier in public.
She loved meeting new people, especially kids, and she was a BIG dog, so she was taught she had to lay down to meet someone new, and then she would present her belly for rubs (one of her absolute favorite things).
It made her think and respond accordingly to people.
She wasn't the most mannered dog - still would bark at the door and if she knew the person would jump on them and lick their ears.
Not all dogs are perfect but |
12:19:23 Sorry for the whole rambling rant - training and behavior are a HUGE passion for me.
There are great clicker training podcasts. My favorite is Equine Clicker 101, as it gives a step by step guide to the session and also what to do for troubleshooting situations.
There's a few people who are on the Video Social Media who give training tips and ideas for keeping an energetic dog.
Like small things you can do is make meal time interesting and a challenge - scattering kibble in a towel and rolling it up, or in a ball, or a frozen peanut butter Kong.
Anything that makes them take longer to eat and have to use their brain.
Something mentally challenging is almost as energy depleting as something physically challenging.
Having a job can also promote self confidence in a dog.
Something simple like bringing you the re |
12:13:47 Oriyana| Strut you want mares strong in M and I. St wouldnÂ’t hurt either |
12:11:19 Training a service dog was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had.
She loved having a job - from being a mobility guide, anxiety helper, and even household chores like putting dishes in the sink, garbage and recycling, and putting laundry in the basket.
Training is one of those things that is always happening - every time you interact with anyone, you are teaching them how to interact with you.
If you let a horse or dog take up your space, they will then you think that that's an okay behavior.
Sometimes sessions are about fun things like crawl and roll over, sometimes it's experiencing a new environment and relaxing, and other times it's going back to basics.
Have fun - do dog things
Work on manners - in th house
Work on tasks
You can't demand perfection all the time, they should be allowed to be an animal, but make it interesting and fun to do different things all the time. Even if it's something small. |
12:01:05 Kitty| The only thing my dog retained in training, is good girl spot and finish, means pee and poo. hahaha other things because of being a Chihuahua mix and selective do and hearing |
11:59:49 Strut -HEE Click-
like what am i supposed to look for |
11:59:32 Strut ok i have a question.
to get a better rating what should i breed this guy to?? |
11:50:49 Sway| Yep I trained my dogs myself🙂 not much to say with Minga lol cause she tries to murk people and ity her jumps sometimes, but my rescue Shiya and my dog Ive had since I was 10(LiLi) I both trained. LiLi and I did 4H dog club, and got BIS at the show:) |
11:45:51 Hummer| @Lucky, I just need to find the time and energy! 😉 |
11:35:10 Stitch| Going new places can also be a good workout. We take our pit mix out to new hiking areas whenever we can and all of the new things really help to wear him down. |
11:34:47 lucky I bet you could teach him yourself
as long as they have decent drive its pretty easy to teach dogs to do a job |
11:28:55 Hummer| Yeah, I should probably look into teaching him some more things. We used to go to dog-friendly stores to train and I still take him to them, but he is familiar with it. |
than 1 day

Ok, so I've been working with a lot of rescues recently, and as some of you may know, rescues pick up bad habits. So I've been having many problems with my rescues, and If I try anything it gets worse.
1) Tucker. a) He can't cross tie, as In i mean he flips out and almost breaks him neck everytime I cross tie him, and I've left him tied up to a fence post all day and hes fine, its JUST cross ties. Help?
b) He bucks. Like bad. I've been riding him bareback a lot recently, with someone lead lining him. And he does fine. He trots and extends it easily. While being led. The person I had leading him, went to go to the bathroom, and I decided to go for a walk, so I clucked and gave him a little nudge, and he starts bucking like a bronc. He does this bareback and with a saddle.
c) He also likes to bite people. He was spoiled when I first got him, because I was trying to get him to gain weight, so I have him lots of treats and alfalfa (bad idea). He now bites all the time. I flick him everytime he does, but he bites other people who let him and think it's funny. So he keeps doing it.
Frost:
a) He also cannot cross tie. b) he doesn't buck, but he lips people a lot.

Take a look at Warwick Schillers training methods. Completely changed my relationship with my horse, and fixed many of the issues we first had :) |

for biting you need to slap their noses. not just a little tap! i mean slap them or you can pinch their lips too. i think pinching lips works better as they do not become head shy with that.
For the bucking he is probably being lazy and not wanting to go anywhere I would start from the ground with flexing, yielding hindquarters, lunging and getting the respect from the ground before hopping on his back. |

Sorry to be blunt but if you don’t have inklings of how to correct these problems you should get a trainer. ESPECIALLY the first horse. It could go real bad real fast. Edited at May 16, 2019 01:00 PM by Cappuccino |

First, if you haven't already, get them checked out by a vet. I'm sure you know this, but pain can do a whole lot for making horses sour. Also, like Capp said, GET A TRAINER.
For Tucker's cross tie issue, it might be something to let be for a bit. Sometimes, a bit of trust makes all the difference. Additionally, when you can stay with him, perhaps put him on one cross tie and have a lead on him. Associate being in the cross tie area with things he's going to enjoy, like food and grooming. Filming each of his issues would make it easier for people to pinpoint problems, but those are some basic suggestions.
For his bucking, I would do a lot of groundwork to start, once pain is ruled out. Make him move away from pressure, ground drive him, work him into the ideal in-hand horse. Round pen him, longe him, get him to the point that he'll longe without a line and without running off. When you get on him, have someone keep a line on him, but not touch him. No whip, no direction. Have yourself in control, but someone else able to help if needed. Continue that until he has no issues with it. When that's the case, just sit on him without the line for a while. Don't ask him to move, just ask him to stand while you touch him, put your hands on him and shift around on him. It's okay if he fidgets a little, that means he's sensitive to you. Put the line on him again, and have the person on the ground be close and put pressure on him to make him move to the side. Do that for a little, then transfer to you being the one to put pressure on him. Practice bending in and out of a circle while on the line. Practice walking and bending off of the line, but with someone else there to keep an eye on him. Basically, do a lot of little things that help him learn what's expected of him. He might not be too broke. Go slow. And, of course, heap praise and love on him when he does anything positive.
For the biting, I'd swat him on the nose for biting, and perhaps teach him a word that means he can have his treat. If a dog can learn the command 'wait', so can a horse. If people aren't scolding him for biting, I wouldn't let them be around him. I'd raise a huge old fuss until they decided it was more worth it to scold the horse than deal with you getting irritated.
For Frost, it sounds like the same things could be useful, but again, filming would make it easier to pinpoint what's going on with him.
For Max, just take things slow. |
