| Need help with training. I am trying to train my 5 month old maltese/yorkie mix, she is super hyper. She does not really listen some times she gets the sit command which is all i have tried with her. I try to tire her out before teaching her but that does not seem to help. i have watched several videos and all the dogs seem so calm and she is far from that when i am holding a treat all she wants to do is jump on my hand and try to get the treat and when she cant she runs around, she is not understanding the listen and get the treat part. Is there anyone that can help me get her to understand that if she does what i want she will get the treat. Thanks in advanced. |

2+2=4 X the Love ♥ Donating Member | Try without the treats and using a deeper "I mean business" tone and see how she does. Just remember to let her know when she is doing a good job and do plenty of praising and adda girls as her reward. Maybe same their treats for when the training session is done. Remember to never reward her by petting or picking her up when she is in a hyper state. That is only reinforcing the behavior. Take a look at my web site and see if there is anything there that could help you with her training. The link is Below
