Review (chronicles of narnia)

I had had theis DVDs forever called the "chronicles of Narnia" I had no clue what they where and I had never watch them so..., I was going to give them to Goodwill till my dad said: "you should keep those and watch them, they're pretty good".
  I finally watched them they were good There is three total, I liked the first one the best. 

The story is of four kids that find a new world. They fight in a war. they see dragons and giants. It has a flying lion wich my brother loved. But I would say, it is not violent at all. I would say it is a family friendly movie for all ages .

Teaching a Dog

basic commands
I taught all of the basic commands first, come is a very important command.

Come: you need your dog to come right away when your dog is called in case it gets into a dangerous situation. for this one you kind of need 2 people you can do it with 1 but 2 is easier. With two people you will want one person to sit at one end of the room or yarn and one at the other. place the dog with one person. the other person needs to have some treats that person will call the dog and hold out the treat the dawn will come running to the person. in turn you will reward the dog with a treat and lots of pets and then the other person will call the dog back and do the same. you will keep repeating this process several times daily. With one person. you will want to have a Long Leash on your dog. And a treat in your hand. You will want to play the dunk in front of you and run back as quick as you can still facing the dog. And say catching him we can get on the saying Come As You Are. when the dog comes you give them the treat and several pets reward them heavily.

 Sit: To teach this command you will want to have treats again. making it fun for your pooch. You will want to raise the treat above your dog's head an. If the dog doesn't automatically sit you will want to gently push on the rump of your dog to make him sit.
Stay: You will want to put them on a leash again. stand in front of them holding the leash having treats in your hand. You will want to step back a few steps wait for a second, then go back to the dog and reward them with the treat and as your dog gets better with staying. you will want to make it farther back and staying there longer each time.

Lie down: put a treat in front of the dog's nose, as you lower it to the ground.  as you say "lie down". If needed put a hand on the dogs back and lightly push down.

Wait: this is a politeness manner. I a treat in front of their nose and tell them to wait. if they go for it tell them no and tap them on their side.

Leave it: To teach this you may want a leash, so you can control them more. get a threat and through it ways away. If your dog starts to go for it say "leave it" then "come". This is where the leash may come in handy. 

To teach the dog to walk next to you. You will want to put the dog on a leash, and walk the dog as normal. Do not pull the leash tight, let it be loose in your hand.
    walk the dog right next to you. If the dog starts to get too far away, give the leash a little jerk and bring him back. As soon as he is beside you again relax the leash.

Tricks
Now I started teaching some tricks.

Roll over: take a treat. Tell the dog to roll over. Pat at the floor on the opposite side you started on. Guide the dog if needed.

shake: put a treat in one hand, put your other hand in front of the dog. Tell him to "shake". If your pet doesn't get it right away. lift the pets paw and place it in your hand. then give the treat.

Now I know it sounds hokey too but it works. your adatood makes a different, in how your dog listens to you. 

you must be {to quote Cesar Millan}"calm and assertive". Stand up straight and be the leader.
We've taught our dogs that good enough, now we can control them pretty well. Dogs need boundaries if you don't give them that or seem weak they will become the leader.


here are the videos I follow and used for training I hope they will help you too.

But most of all even through all the discipline and rules. Your dog must have some time to be reworded and play.
