How do you use these to train a puppy?

It depends, you may have to wait until your puppy gets older, especially if he/she is hyper. My rabbits react to the clicking and do the tricks I ask for based on knowing they will get a treat, which is the key. Best of luck.

Hi Diane, check out Karen Pryor's website for all the information you need on clicker training. She also has a book 'Getting Started: Clicker Training for Dogs'. It works!!

This video introduced me to clicker training. Zak George (the trainer) explains it REALLY well and there are lots of video's on his channel to help you train your puppy with specific tricks, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPDOrEEsAJ8

I'm just a beginner but have found some interesting articles on line. Here's one to get you started: http://www.clickertraining.com/get-started The important thing that I have learned is to start at the beginning. If the dog knows his/her name, say the name and as they respond, click and then reward with a treat. Its all about clicking at the time of the desired reaction and then rewarding. They soon associate the command and click and treat. Then move on to the next (i.e. sit or down). Check out the internet...lots of articles.

I think a small or medium size collar would work. What kind of dog are the puppies?

I have standard Poodles and we had Wirehaired Pointers before these guys. The normal points should be enuf. Get the collars snug and give them a wiggle to seat them on the dogs. Usually all you need is the vibrator and that works regardless. I would start with what Dogtra sends. Great collars BTW. Steve

We taught our dog agility and part of agility was getting on a table and then they got a treat. I referred to the bed as table at first. Then I kept putting it where they normally would lay. Eventually my Aussie accepted it as her bed. Hot dog bits work well for training.

Hi Joe, I agree with previous comments, depends on the size of your puppy, but if you decide to purchase one, they are wonderful, Cassie absolutely LOVES it, I put peanut butter in for a treat and also frozen mince when we are away from home and she is in her kennel, keeps her occupied for hours. Also great for training ie fetch

I have no idea.....I know that these are not good for a puppy because they tend to chock on the product.....once over 5 months old I used them for training my Norwich and they worked excellent!! Since I have bought 8 bags of these there has been no ill effects!!

No they would not startle the puppy enough. You would perhaps consider "cowbells"

I got 2 bottles of these for my dogs and they would not eat them. I gave the 2 bottles to a friend because her dog loves them. She says they help her dogs, but they are quite old. I wouldn't imagine that a puppy would need these.

My pup did that too. I used a squirt bottle. And then I whipped one under her every time she started to go. She eventually got the hang of it.

Puppy training pads-that's what I use them for-but if you needed underpads for beds they would work excellently for that also-they hold a lot of urine-they don't leak and they control the oder- I can't smell them evern after my 2 dogs have used them overnight-I highly recoment these pads

I've read that it's never to late to train a dog a new trick. We trained our dog (of course whe was a puppy then) by encouraging her to use the pads with lots of praise and a small treat after she did it correctly. Like any trick, you need to work on training several times a day every day until your dog gets it. And keep the treats tiny or the dog could get too many treats. Our dog uses the pads 98 percent of the time.

A puppy would be able to chew these depending on how large your dog is . Once these balls have a hole in them they can be flattened or crushed very easily.. They get their strength from being air ttight my 3 year old can easily crush these if he chews them for long enough . He has never been able to tear off any plastic they stay intact well after being crushed so I have never been scared of him choking on a small bit of plastic. I would say supervision would be required

My dog is a chihuahua and she crunches these treats up in no time flat. These are big pieces of dried liver and I'm not so sure they would be a good training treat. I break them up into smaller pieces for my dog.

Start with really small treats - maybe even break up those bacon flavored kind so they really smell. I have a larger dog so it is easy for him to knock it around. Hope this helps

These Liver Treats, as well as our Beef, Chicken, and Turkey Jerky Treats can be broken into small pieces and used for training. The Jerky Treats might be better suited for training. They can be cut with scissors into small bite-size pieces, perfect for training. However, many people also like the Liver Treats for training.I'm not sure how long they will last. There is a full pound of treats in each bag so it will depend on how big the reward pieces are and how many are given. Please let me know how it goes.PaulCo-FounderRocco & Roxie Supply Co.

These would not be effective for a male dog. I would suggest 'belly bands' or something similar. It needs to be specific for a male dog.
