Default Friend's Dog Constantly Yaps

my friends dog (puppy) wont stop yapping, every like 5 hours its starts and wont be quiet till you go outside, we kno its not good for the dog if we go and see it it will keep yapping to get attention next time, so how else do you stop a dog from yapping all the time? its got plenty of toys, but it doesnt stop yapping.

How do you fix this

Default My dog doesn't like other dogs

On Tue, 15 Aug 2006 07:02:13 +0000 jacob whittled these words:

When little dogs approach her to
smell her she snarles, sometimes bites and chases them.


When you are walking down the street minding your own business do you like
a total stranger walking up to your face and insisting that you play with
them?

Dogs are social - but PACK oriented. They don't necessarily enjoy playing
with strangers. It is perfectly normal for dogs not
to appreciate other dogs running up to them. It is RUDE behavior on the
part of the other dog.

Also if your patting her after like 5
minutes she just walks away, you call her and she doesn't listen.


Most border collies are not cuddlers. They prefer not to have extended
physical contact. If you are trying to insist that she accept what she no
longer finds pleasant then you are punishing her for staying. So she has
learned not to stay. If you want to train her, then give her things SHE
finds pleasant, not things you THINK she should find pleasant.

Same
if your bouncing a ball.


Try teaching her things that let her use her mind a bit more. Look into
clicker training. Look into something more stimulating - agility, muscial
freestyle, rally, and yes even herding.

So how can i socialize her to like smaller
dogs, not run off, and not be afraid of soccer balls?


You can't force a dog to "like" anything. Lots of dogs prefer that other
dogs just leave them alone, except the dogs they CHOOSE to play with.
Socialization doesn't mean "playing with" it means becoming familiar with.
Dog Parks and the like are great for the right dogs, but most mature adult
dogs are not the right dogs for dog parks. The immature and the very
mature tend to do OK - but the 2 year old to seven year olds very often do
not.

Don't put her in situations where she has to deal with rude dogs.
Don't make staying with you unpleasant by continuing long periods of
physical contact.
Do train several times a day for 3 to 5 minutes each.
Learn about clicker training and once you understand it you'll know what
to do about the scocer balls.
