Hunting Dog Training

Question by LFM: Dog training tips please? How do you stop a dog from going up the stairs?
We just moved into our first house and we’ve been trying to train our 3yr old maltese/poodle to NOT go up to the second floor. He only ran up once and I chased him, carried him down. But since then he’s been pushing his luck by sleeping on the steps. First step, second step, this morning was the third step and just now he was on the fourth!

Are there any training tips to stop him? I don’t want a baby gate on the main staircase.

Thank you!

He will only jump the baby gate.what breed is he? Get a trainer in or watch a video how to stop it.

Question by sunshineandsilliness: Are there any good websites or hints from you folks on dog training?
We’ve recently gotten a black lab from some friends. She is 1 1/2 years old and is trained OK in the basics (sit, kennel, go), but we would like to train her better. I haven’t had a dog in forever.

Take her to Dog Obedience classes, they arent very expensive, and its really fun. I took our German Shepard for 2 years….. You can usually find info on the classes through a 4-H group.

I’ve got two three year old lab crosses, they were brought up in kennels and although not domestic animals are very friendly. the problem comes when they are left alone for any length of time, they chew the sofa to bits. They have all manner of chew toys etc but they love the sofa. I’ve tried pet repellent, even black pepper but all to no avail……any other serious idea’s?

I was wondering,
how do some people just take their dogs
outside and let them run around and not have them on a leash and
they come back in.

My dog is 4 months old and he loves trees so he’s always tugging,
we’re working on that, I don’t know if I let him run lose if he will run away..

I know its illegal to have a dog on a lose leash in Chicago but I was just wondering.
