Sarah Townen asked:


I have a dog and we DO train it…
But I just go to thinking….do any of you have memories of older men and their dogs on porches? Those guys could typically get their dogs to do what they wanted when they wanted…..so…..why do we need all these books and stuff?

I wonder what we are doing wrong?
Is it a time factor? I wonder if these people just spent more time with their animals?

Thoughts?

So these people are trying to potty train this older dog they found.
First they always keep her food and water down.
Almost always give her treats when she comes back inside even if she hasn’t gone to the bathroom yet.
There gone half the day with her stuck inside the house with her food and water down.
Lets her back inside even if she hasn’t gone to the bathroom.
And when they find her pee spots they race at her with the rug and almost shove it in her face and they hit her a little with a Fly swatter. And they also hold up a newspaper and smack it in there hands, like there going to hit her and at the same time yell at her telling her she’s been a bad girl. And they don’t give her attention after she’s been bad.
(It’s quite scary just watching how they discipline her.)

So I think they’re going about this training all the wrong way.
I’m sorry but I don’t think it’s like that, correct me if I’m wrong, ok.

I’m a cat owner, and I’m not sure how to train dogs, so how would you potty train a dog.
So I told the people how to train there dog, and they don’t get it at all. They don’t see what there doing is wrong. And they told me there training her the way they do with kids. (which I think is another big no-no.)

I’m really unsure how to reason with them now, I might try again and hopefully then they’ll listen.
I almost wont to report them, but my boyfriend is one of the dogs owners.
I don’t know maybe I should just keep my mouth shut and if they end up giveing the dog away then at least she’ll be with better people.

Do most people have their dogs trained?

Is it better to have a professional who has more experience to train your dog or is it better for YOU to train your dog?
