Hunting Dog Training

Question by John Charles: Crate training puppy while having an adult trained dog not in crate?
Does anyone know if there are special tips for crate training a puppy while already having an adult obedient dog that is not kept in a crate any longer? I’m about to get a puppy who I plan on crate training, but I already have an extremely obedient dog who is left free rein of the house at all times. Will this make things harder?

Nope- My 6yearold Amstaff is completely housetrained- The yorkie I just got is not – It actually helps – Cause he’s learned to go to the door and bark to be let out from her.

Question by it_girl92: Is my dog training my puppy for me?
I have a 2-year-old Cocker Spaniel and we just adopted a 10 week old puppy (border collie/lab who is already bigger than the cocker).

Anyway, we are crate training the puppy. We don’t yet have a crate for the puppy, so we are using the cocker’s crate and letting him be out at night and during the day (he is very well housetrained).

Last night, in the crate for the first time, the puppy (a border collie/lab mix who is already bigger than my cocker) was whining and yelping. We tried to ignore it, and then we tried to tell him no be quiet, but he just kept on for 5 minutes.

My cocker was sleeping next to me and ran over there a few times. Finally, he got down, laid under the bed near the crate, and issued a few low growls at the puppy. That puppy didn’t make one sound after that all night!

My dog just trained him to be quiet in the crate! Have you seen this before? Is that what he was doing? Has this got to do with being dominant or because we were upset?

your dog might have been annoyed by the whining and being that he’s more the dominant one, then yes he’s showing your new puppy the ropes.

Question by serrsly: what is the best dog training book to read for an apbt puppy?
i recently ordered pit bulls for dummies, and will soon acquire a copy of dog training for dummies.

the lady that lives downstairs from me gave me a book titled ‘Smarter than you Think’ and it tells you to throw things at your dog to teach it to come, and to stick a match in its butt to poop, and not trust dog food companies, and all this weird stuff, not too sure about that book.

any other suggestions? or tips?

I’d just go with the book you’re getting; the DUmmy series has always helped me.

Jeez, Smarter than you Think is full of lies!
