How do you get your dog to obey?

I have just rescued a dog from humane society three days ago and I want him to obey me. What do I do?

try to get treats for him after he did a good job.

shot him then tell him to sit or play dead, bet he will listen(if you are a good shot)..lol

TRAIN HIM. Get a good trainng book or take him to an obedience class.Good Luck with your new dog!:)

One program on TV that I get alot of that has a wealth of information, is called The Dog Whisperer. It's great ! I'm not sure what station it's on tho. We have Direct tv and it's in the 200's somewhere. The guy that is the dog whisperer is very good.

every time he does something good you give him a treat and every time he does something bad you put him in his cage or tie him up 'till he learns

take the dog to obedience classes, that's the best advice i can give anyone! and also don't give in to his whining for the little things (don't spoil or pamper him)....and especially don't do it just b/c he may have been abused in the past...b/c dogs don't think of things in terms of "i was abused before, and you rescued me!", they think of it in terms of "free spoiling...i can get whatever iw ant from you..." obedience classes should teach you how to prevent this and other things.

We just got one this weekend also. Try looking up crate training on the internet.. It is working great for us so far!

Walk softly and carry a big stick.

You have to train them. If you don't know how, there are classes you can take with your dog. Look around, you'll find one. It doesn't cost very much.

Study up on dog/pack behavior and love, love, love him. So much of bad dog behavior are just bad choices on the part of the owner. Food as treats for good behavior is also recommended. At the heart of it, there *has* to be a reason for the dog to *want* to obey you. Find that reason, and you'll be good to go. Three days is a relatively short amount of time, so don't expect miracles. Signing up for a dog obedience class asap would also help. Good luck!

Have you considered taking him to Obedience Training Classes.

teach him the obvious stuff...poop on the rug....sniff the other dogs xxxx ...it worked great to impress my friends...lol...seriously try evelyn woodhouses book on dogs...english lady with alot of background

YOU WILL NEED SOME TREATS AND TOYS FOR HIM. YOU ALSO SIGN UP TRAINING CLASSES, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEED HELP TRAINING YOUR DOG AT FIRST.
