Leaps goal is to create more than just an obedience class. The dogs will learn to properly socialize with other dogs, people, and good table manners. All key components to have a well-adjusted, adoptable dog that is ready to be accepted by society as more than just a pit bull. They will be well-trained, lovable doggies who have worked very hard to get educated. Wouldnt you love to adopt one of our students?

Training Your Beauceron to Listen to You

Training Your Beauceron to Listen to You

Why Wont My Beauceron Listen To Me?

This is a common question that most first-time Beauceron owners ask me. Before I answer your question, let me ask you a few instead:

• Do you use cookies, collars, head halters or clickers to make your Beauceron listen to your commands?

• Do you have to raise your voice every time you want your Beauceron to listen to you?

• Does your Beauceron always come or sit on command - anytime and anywhere you want him to?

If your answers are mostly in the negative, its time you seriously reconsider your role as a sincere Beauceron trainer and an ideal pet parent.

Learn how to bond with your Beauceron with this free mini course.

Get Your Beauceron To Listen To You

Before you begin any training, you must first establish yourself as the "ALPHA dog" of your family. Your Beauceron must know that you’re the leader of the pack and it is YOU who is in charge.

Here is a list of simple DOs and DONTs that you must follow if you want to be the Alpha:

• Always go out or come in through the door first - remember you are the leader;

• Always eat first - give your Beauceron something to eat only after youve finished your meal;

• Don’t circle around your Beauceron when he is lying on the floor - make your Beauceron move out of your way instead;

• Dont let your Beauceron set the rules - pay attention to him when you think fit and not whenever he demands;

• Don’t permit your Beauceron to sleep with you in your bed - demarcate his sleeping area clearly.

Once you successfully established yourself as the Alpha, training your Beauceron and making him listen will be a lot easier than you can imagine. Remember, if your Beauceron does not learn to "listen", all your training efforts will be in vain!

Does your Beauceron know his name? Does your Beauceron look at you whenever you call him by his name? This is the first and the most critical step involved in Beauceron Training. If your Beauceron doesnt respond to his name, you cannot have his attention for teaching him any other commands.

To make sure that your Beauceron recognizes his name, take a treat in your hand and hold it away from your body. Call your Beaucerons name. He is most likely to look at the treat in your hand. Continue calling his name untill he turns and looks at your eyes. Give him the treat immediately. Repeat this exercise by holding the treat in the other hand. Once youre sure that your Beauceron has learnt to recognize his name, just call his name and reward him for looking at you by petting or with a hug.

You must understand that Beaucerons respond far better to positive reinforcement than they do to coercion or force.
