Teaching a dog to jump?

Put a harness on your dog (I personally would reccommend a martangle harness for this, but any type of a dog harness might do), attach a leash to that harness, and have you dog next to you on the floor across from what you'd like to have your dog jump on (there should be enough distance for your dog to run). Start running, with the dog straight toward what you wnt him to jump up on (when you are training him to jump, it's good to have one thing that you use as a training tool for him to jump up on, then move on to having him jump up on other things later on), then when you get to it, give a command (whatever command you want to use with your dog) when he gets up on his hind legs and put his front paws on whatever you want him to jump up on as you lift your dog's back legs up and onto the object (which can be a footstool, a couch, a chair, or whatever). What's really tricky at this point is to make all of this one fluid motion:( i.e., you and your dog stand on the other side of a room, across from your couch (with the dog on leash), then you start kinda jogging, having your dog pick up speed next to you, then you stop in front of the couch, as soon as your dog puts his front paws on it, you lift him up the rest of the way onto the couch, giving a jump command, for example. )

If your dog is stretching up onto his hind legs, it sounds like you are on the right track with your dog - good luck!

The first thing you should do is crate training.. Never too late..Buy a crate that is large enough for him to lie down and stand. Dogs tend not to pee in places where they sleep so don't buy a big crate. Your puppy is six months now.. So technically it should be able to hold its bladder for 4 to 5 hrs.. Teach ur dog to love it's crate by putting toys in it so he is relaxed, you could also feed him there. After you feed him, bring him to the place where you want him to pee. Let him go for a few minutes. If he doesn't go to the toilet put him back in his crate then take him out 10 mins later..If he goes? Praise him and give him treats and let him play outside for a while. For the biting problem.. I presume when it was a puppy you allowed him to nip at you? It think that it is a kind of game to him already... When he bites, you can either spray some water at him and yell out "no!" Or just simply stand up and ignore him. He'll soon realize that it is wrong. Do you exercise him enough? If the dog can get loose from his collar then buy one that fits it better. If a dog is exercised enough it shouldn't be a nut case in the house. But you have to understand that the dog won't stay completely still.. Shiba inun is not a couch potato breed. For the yelping at night in his cage... Maybe put the cage in a place where he can see you? He'll feel more relaxed.. But u needa teach him as I've said before to like his crate first. Remember to be consistent. It will take days for him to know this new routine. No dogs are born badly behaved.. It's the people that don't know how to teach it.. Now u know more.. Hope it's going to be better for u...

Since it is obvious that you do not have a clue about obedience training, your services should be for free. You cannot train even an adult dog for 8 hours a day. About the most that can be done at any one time is 10 - 20 minutes and that is with an adult dog and not a puppy. The attention span on this baby is extremely short and training session should be no more than 10 minutes and twice a day. Additionally, there isn't going to be much learned if you will only be training for 5 days. Obedience training is cumulative and is done over a much longer period of at least several weeks to several months.

What you can charge is determined by your experience, reputation, and accomplishments and in a case like this, should also include guaranteed expectations. Just working with dogs over several years, is not the experience that is necessary to be a dog trainer. There are too many people who are putting that title to their name and fleecing the public. Don't be one of them.

This is a new one. Normally everyone is asking how to keep a dog FROM jumping.

Why not focus on teaching him to stand on 2 legs and balance for a treat? That's much more impressive than a jump.

I would be glad if my dog did not know how to jump (up on people)!

Does your dog jump over things? If you run over a log, will your dog jump it? I'd teach my dog by dong that. You can also buy or make an agility jump and start out with it at it's lowest. Run with your dog over the jump or throw a toy over, and your dog will learn to jump. Slowly increase height.

i would set up something for the dog to jump over, like a piece of wood or fallen tree. take the leash and walk to the side the dog isnt on and call the dog so it will be forced to get over the obstacle, by jumping.

He will get it just bring the treat to the dogs level then slowly go up, up & eventually the dog will realize it is high but if he jumos he gets the treat that is what we do to train our dog to highjump
