Any Dog Trainers?

[83turbomon]

I need a dog trainers advide? My mom has a small dog called an eskipoo (poodle american eskimo miniature mix) I bought for her one Xmas for 200 dollars. He is sweet, but outside he gets over excited real easy. He HAS been fixed. If hes on his leash he is managable, but still likes to jump and lick the hell out of people. We like to give him a since of trust and let him go off of his leash from time to time, but when he sees someone or something he darts off. He cornered an old lady in her house one time and I felt really bad and ashamed. He runs around quite a bit as well. He also if he smells another dog on you (mainly a B*tch) he goes kinda crazy. He tried to bite or he did bite another lady on the hand because she has an unspayed dog and he was friendly for a few seconds (while sadly jumping on her) then all of a sudden he just turned. The lady wasnt upset as she has several dogs and gave us an explination on why he acted like that. When he is in the house he acts just fine too.

I DO roughhouse with him sometimes, can this be doing it, or is it his breed, or just how we have been handling him???

They are like kids. If they have no fear of not following your commands they will disregard your instructions. Does he understand no, stop, sit etc in the house? If so, you just have to be stern on him until he acts accordingly . People will call you mean but he has to learn. Bite the wrong person and it will be lights out!

A girl I know has a miniature pincher,(sp). He had this thing about growling and snapping at people who came near while he had a chew toy or eating anything. He'd even growl at you if you tried to get your shoe or sock back. One day he uad his toy and I went to take it, he not only growled but he bit me and drew blood. That was it! I beat his butt with an open hand so bad she was yelling stop and he was in the corner whining for mercy. Only lasted about 5 seconds but he knows to do what I say now. I can take his food,chew toy or objects he tries to chew without any problem. Once he started listening I started training him.20 minute sessions with treats for good acts, mean looks and a change in tone when he did wrong. I can take him out without a leash and he follows all my commands on the first or second time. I can leave food out, let him play with kids or make him go to bed without the b.s he used to pull before the incident .

He still loves to be around me, but he knows he isn't the boss now. He was the same way. Still isn't fixed bit much more easier to deal with.

It's the breed!lol As much as we love our Mini Eskie "Sweetie" , she can be the biggest trouble maker.

Lets see... She barks at the TV, bites the toilet paper of the dispenser, jumps off our bed at 2am barking at the deer or other animals (scares the living f#ck out of ya) and the list goes on and on. She thinks that she is the ONLY animal on the planet.

Sweetie does everything your Mom's pup does at 5 years old. Once Sweetie smells another animal or person, she is fine.

With all this being said, we would trade her for the world. They are great looking dogs, loving and affectionate.

Good Luck!haha

Walk side by side with your dog. Keep the leash tight. Show them who is in control... don't let them get ahead of you.

How many hours per day do you walk him. from your description of his behavior he sounds bored!! he doesn't sound ready for unleashed walks yet. and he is getting the sense that he is calling the shots, not you, so..
2 x 1 hour per each day structured walk (on leash w/ you in charge) no stopping for sniffs, pees etc until you decide. Try to anticipate when he wants to misbehave and calmly correct him with a firm snap on the leash, but relax it afterwards, so he knows the difference. If you have tension on the leash at all times, it will be disregarded by his brain and he will pull back on the leash as well.
Once you returned home, spend 5 minutes on sit, stay, ly down practise with treats as a reward for success.
then water him.
try that for a couple of weeks.. should see improvements.
let me know

All I have to say is 99% of the time it's a people problem NOT a dog problem.

It takes time and patience not an iron hand.

Any trainer needs to observe the dog and owner before making an evaluation. Each dog and owner are different so we're going to have to make general observations based on the limited info we have. Most small breeds are pampered and not always treated like a dog. This gives them a sense of entitlement and makes them believe that they're dominate. Dominate dogs cause the type of issues that you've stated. I think he bit that lady because he didn't like her getting close. A submissive dog would not mind a hand getting close to their mouth or face. Can she or others take his food while he is eating? And you should stop the agressive play, you are encouraging bad behavior that you do not want.

Wow. You are pretty.

OMFG... LMMFAO!:redface::biggrin: anyway... I agree with "It`s the breed" my mom has one too and its a complete and total pain in the A He only likes girls and barks at guys... I think he was abused before we got him. That damn dog hasn't stopped barking at me since she got it!... It`s hard to like something that barks at you all the time for no reason at all and then runs around the house so fast he gets dizzy and runs into things and then barks at you some-more He goes insane when he sees another dog too, no matter how big it is... Waaayyyy too-much damn energy!
