Dog Training

[Handsome]

Just curious as to who, if anyone, has managed to teach their dog to go from placid to batshit mental by a certain spoken word and if so how do you do it ?...

When my Rottweiler was a puppy if I said ' Nail 'em ' she'd go mental and chase the other dogs but now she's one and a bit she doesn't do it, I want to train her to bark at the door or certain people if I say a single word, not actually attack them, just make them wary...

So, how do you do it peeps...

Say your desired command word, I personally would go for "surprise".

After uttering the aforementioned word kick him in the balls, do this daily.

Within a few days he should respond as you want him to when you shout surprise.

It's the same as getting the dog to "speak" or bark.

Insted of using the command word speak - I use the word "guard" works a treat when the missus is out for a walk with the boxer and some bloke tries to talk to her - the word "guard" and the boxer barks, grawls and generally looks like his up for a fight

Mine goes mental if I say "cats" (he is actually looking for cats though) or "send 'em off".

Not really sure how I managed to teach him that TBH, but the border collie I grew up with was exactly the same when he heard the command.

I reckon I probably just said "send 'em off" when he was already barking at something and he's picked up on the association of barking and the command.

To be honest - the same way as you train everything else.

Positive recognition when the dog does what you want. I advice the clicker and treat rountine.

Dog does what you want and you push clicker and give them a treat - the dog will get to understand that if you click he gets a treat - then he will try and do what you want to get the treat.

Obviously - it's a lot harder than the above - but thats the basics. It takes time and patience - and always make it FUN for the dog.

Any canine with the minimum of intelligence will know when it's time to put on a show... If it doesn't, you bought a retarded dog...

I've written paragraphs and paragraphs, but it all comes down to one word, matey..........

............WHY?

If you don't want her stolen, don't leave her - she's precious, you wouldn't leave a wallet full of money tied to a bench somewhere iffy, don't leave your dog.

You'll struggle to have her genuinely aggressive on your command now she's learned to trust everyone. Like someone said of course it is possible, but I have to say why would you do it to her - essentially you want her to be nervous and unstable on your command.

IMHO you are completey BONKERS!

I own 2 rottweilers and to be honest think your actions sound completly irresponsible. The breed gets bad enough press without idiots teaching them to be perceived as "AGGRESIVE".

I'm quite a believer in the "pack mentality" thing when handling dogs, so that your dog learns to think that its a lesser dog than you.

For that reason I have to agree that I wouldn't advocate attempting to instil aggression into any dog, the concern being that the aggression could be turned on to improve its standing in the "pack" that is your family.

Tbh I don't think she's got it in her, she's a playfull friendly dog that was born for fuss, I dare say she'd do it when it counts so I'll not bother...

It was like I said, she's just to trusting, she'd go with anybody for a bit of fuss, I was just thinking of putting her on alert incase I had to leave her alone for a few seconds or if out walking anything happened to me she wouldn't just be led/lead/taken...

Anyway, I'll not bother like I say, she's as good as gold and she may do it if and when needed...

As for the breed and reputation, my other Rotty died the year before last, she'd made it to eight and a half I think she was before I had to have her put down due to complications with her womb and back passage, I've also had Alsations and Boxers, if I'd have had Boxer money at the time I'd have had another two, reputations of these dogs I'm well aware of it's just I've never known such a placid dog as this one...

They'll do anything you want for treats usually, train mine to do silly stuff like shut the door and give paw

so if you train your rottie to be aggressive/ wary of others, and you give it the command to do so when you leave it tied up outside the shop...



and my 12 year old goes to the shop to get milk, and sees a nice doggie unattended outside the shop, so goes straight up to it to pet it....


You see where this is going? The dog doesn't have to savage a kid - if you've left it unattended and it shows aggression towards a kid then it's getting put down. Particularly a breed like a rottie that's already got a bad rep from the very small minority of dogs that are un-trained or badly trained by idiot owners.

If you're that worried about the dog getting stolen, don't leave it unattended when you're out in public.
