[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 269699, member: 179"] Down or sit command is extremely important, especially with a big dog. It's all about who is in charge. You don't want people coming over and having a 100+ dog take you down. Boundaries, then rewards. They get the picture real quick. No pets and hugs? No treats? Geez...I guess I won't jump on them anymore. It's funny as I was working with my next door neighbor today with her minature dauchsand. He weighs about all of 7lbs. He's the BEST guard dog on earth. We got him a mini choke collar and started training. Oh....he hated it. She'd have him on the leash and I'd walk by to a frantic dog. She's give a jerk...he'd yelp, then we'd try again. By the end of the afternoon he'd actually come up to me, give a sniff and let me pet him without growling and attacking me. (Wish I could of done this with J.) On the other side of my house is Nyla, some sort of lab mix. VERY BIG. She is on a shock collar, which I don't approve of, but it's not my dog. She's learned to sit to get ANYTHING for me. It could be a pet, a treat, throw the ball...whatever. I've never crated a dog, but if it's tearing up your house in the middle of the night...go for it. Good luck with that bundle of energy!
