My dogs won't listen to my commands?

You need to enroll in obedience classes with them, so they learn how to listen to you and you learn how to effectively communicate with them.

They are at the age where they will push their boundaries, and it is quite evident you need help to get them back focused and obedient.

Your little puppies are now at the age to test you. Unfortunately, you being away means you sacrificed that bonding time. And with the head or neck.. I hope they haven't been hit? The other thing there is trust. You've been away; you gave up your spot in their group, and that group kept growing. It's like elementary school. Convince those popular kids to let you in their clique. You need to work with them, a lot. Long walks, training, sitting for meals, everything you can think of.

Training classes to help you learn how to do that and provide socialization would really assist you. Your buddies need some re-teaching from your absence.

Good luck!

They're testing your limits and watching for your reaction, so don't just let their behavior slip. Be consistent when you want them to sit, stay (this is hard, especially for puppies, I taught my pups stay last), fetch (if they won't even sit for you I don't see this happening either. They might get the frisbee and run off). Just try sit, lie down, and quiet.

If they won't come and ignore your calls, get a treat and hold it in your palm. Most dogs can't resist a food bribe, so one of them should come. Praise him, and when the other dog sees that the other gets rewarded for coming, he should do the same. Eventually as they begin to get it you can be less dependant on the treats.

Biting shouldn't be tolerated. Correct him by lightly pushing his side (if his head and neck area is sensitive) to snap him out of it, and praise him when he stops wanting to bite. If there's no underlying medical problem, I'm guessing they're just scared or in the worst case scenario, don't want you touching them at that proximity at all. If so, get them used to your touch and reward them when they accept it.

Good luck.

When training puppies, you need to do a great deal of what one professional trainer explains as "maintenance training", in other words re-doing the original training to keep it fresh in the dogs mind. At this point, I would definitely go back to the beginning and start with a completely new "recall". To me, this is the most important command you can teach your dog, as without a good recall all other commands will never be reliable.

Remember until your dog is older..with labs I would say 3 years..you need to keep up the maintenance program. Always carry treats, occasionally use them as praise markers for a good performance...not all the time, just occasionally. Remember the old trainer adage..."dogs do what works" and you need to make training as uncomplicated as possible in order for it to stick.

Remember, your lab is basically still a puppy and learning every day.

Being lenient wit ur canines won't artwork for you... each so often you need to command in a strict voice, till atleast till finally the preparation is over... or maybe that's amazingly drained or sick.. you need to seek for suggestion from a ideal authorized vet.. you need to offer him with good nutricious nutrition and make it drink extra water and enable it play interior the backyard interior the evenings... have interaction it each and all of the time.. chuffed canines pay attention nicely on your instructions... in case you nevertheless discover no exchange in her once you are trying each thing, then take her to a good canines instructor to instruct him some tricks...

get some treats ready and only reward them for doing the right thing. no rewards and no yelling or hitting them when they do it wrong. Labs are very smart. They'll catch on fast.

For the ears and head. Check the ears for mites or sores. Good luck.

Regardless of your dog’s intelligence, there is no dog will ever be capable of comprehending ever word that you utter. Neither Lassie nor RinTin Tin were capable of this. If you think that your puppy does not listen it’s because you are using too many words and because you are not consistent with your commands.

Puppies have a dreadful life because their owners expect too much from them. Puppies are commanded to sit, if it doesn’t sit immediately the owner says “for goodness sake sit” or “will you sit” etc. I have also heard people say “sit down”, consequently the puppy does not know if it’s expected to sit or go into a down.

Then we have an owner who lets the puppy of its lead in a fenced field. The owner shouts “come” when they want their dog to return to them. Their puppy may be distracted when it sees another dog and it runs off and they continue shouting come, come, come, or they change the command. The dog fails to return, instead of running away or hiding from their dog they chase after it and the puppy thinks that this is a game.

Neither puppies nor adult dogs understand sentences. If you use sentences a dog it will be confused. When you are training a dog or asking it to do anything, choose one word to convey to your dog what you want it to do. It will eventually understand, however if you think that it has failed to understand and you continue to change the command you have no chance of training it.

If you want your puppy to sit, say “sit” and lure it into this position with a treat. If you want it to down say “down” and do likewise. Think of how many things that you want your puppy to do and choose one word to convey this to your puppy. Help your puppy, never shout. If your puppy fails to learn it’s your fault. Training classes will help you to communicate with your dog and they will help you to understand your dog.

dogs only listen to who they respect. earn back that respect through drills... on leash at first. be "on purpose" strong. clear. one word commands. when they comply PRAISE HUGE for a couple seconds. then move to another drill... sit, down, stay, up, come, if you have to place the body into the position you are asking for . with a gooood boyyyy. do this 3x a day for a week and they will be best friends again... sessions only need to last 10 minutes. ti teach sit hold up on the leash while you pet from the neck all the way down the spine around the tail set to the back of the knee and press in on the back of the knee . DO NOT PUSH (FORCE) THE HIPS DOWN. =)~...

Reward them with tiny treats till they get back in the habit of listening to you. Crate one and leash the other to you (shorten up leash and attach to belt or beltloop) as you work in the house and the yard, so that it learns that it must pay attention to what you're doing.

I suggest you consider bringing them to a dog training school to get that under control. Good luck
