According to the American Kennel Club, dogs shake to literally get rid of the tension built up during stressful or agitating experiences. Think a minor scuff with a playmate at the dog park or getting her temperature taken at the vet's office. If this is what you witness, let it happen and give her some room!

Give your commands in a soft tone of voice. Do not scold the dog when they do not react to your commands. Start with simple commands like sit and come. Reward the dog by giving him a treat or saying "Good boy" and petting him. Soon, the dog will obey all your commands.

How to calm your dog down when It is thundering

I would ask your vet, for a mild sedative if the dog is in that much distress.
tip

The Watch Me. The first command to teach your dog.

Watch Me

The Watch Me command is the first one we teach the dogs. Without the dog's attention, there is little training possible! This command will teach the dog to focus on us when we speak to him. It is also used to maintain his focus while we have him under command.

The first step in teaching this command is to get the dog to look at us - then we reward him for looking. It's that simple! When I say reward, at first give a small treat every time it is successful. Then mix the treats with "Good Girl" and slowly wean off the treats.

Try the following tips as you say, "Watch Me"...

  • Snap your fingers in front of his nose then draw your hand up towards your face.
  • With a treat in your hand, show the dog your hand and then draw your hand up to your face.
  • Use a happy voice.
  • High pitched voices are more interesting to a dog.
  • Make an interesting or unusual sound.
  • Remember that in dog training, timing is everything!

If you are even one second late with the reward, you will be teaching her to look away! By the end of the week, try to get the dog to watch you for about 10 or 15 seconds. And she need not look you in the eye - the point is that she is paying attention, that is all. Slowly increase the time the dog is required to look. After the first week, expect about a 20-30 second uninterrupted stare (less for puppies).

Then, add distractions. Have someone else make a noise off to the side of the dog tempting her to look away. If she does look away, refocus her. Eventually she will learn YOU have the treats and only YOU will be giving the reward.

After you have your dog responding to you and PAYING ATTENTION, you can easily move on to more common commands like Sit, Come, and Stay.

When to give dogs their treats

Dogs love their treats! Whether it's a biscuit or a bone, treats are great way to satisfy a dog. Basically, there are different times that dogs can receive their treats. There isn't an exact method to giving dog treats, so it's basically up to you how many times per day or week you give your dog its treat. The most common time for dogs to receive treats is while getting trained. During training, dogs receive treats as a reward for doing what the trainer asks them to do. Another time dogs should receive treats is when you leave the house for the day and they stay alone. Instead of becoming sad and lonely, dogs can actually become excited about you leaving because they know they will get a special treat. Besides these two times, you can also give your dog a treat after it finishes his meal. This way they will be able to finish their meal with a tasty dessert. One thing to make sure is to keep treats on the low. Make sure your dog gets at least 90 percent of his diet from healthy, high quality commercial food.

Why should I crate train my dog?

Crate training can be very beneficial for both you and your dog. Crates give your pet a room of their own. Crate training can help to prevent destructive behavior and can be a very effective house-training tool.

Dog has learnt its name and first command. Now it won't come

Many people are stuck on this part. Your voice has to be very clear and it's easier to keep the same tone if you say "sit down" instead of just "sit". Same goes for lie down too.

Lost instructions to Zizzle Lucky the incredible wonder pup

I found this on a review of the dog:
Playing with Lucky is pretty simple but does require some learning. Lucky is programmed to respond to 15 different commands but the commands must be issued the same way each time. First, you say Lucky's name to engage him. Once you say "Lucky" (or whatever name you give him) he will then respond to you with 2 barks. After he goes ruff-ruff, then you can tell him what to do. The commands are as follows: 

Speak to Me - he will sit or stand & bark 
Come Here - he will run forward and back 
Pounce - he will crouch and pounce excitedly 
Lay down - he will lay down on his tummy 
Sit - he sits 
Want a Treat? - he stands and barks (begs) 
On your head - He does a headstand 
Go to sleep - lays down, snores and enters sleep mode 
Sing a song - he'll bark one of 2 songs 
Good Dog - acts excited by shuffling his feet 
Bad Dog - he crouches down 
Put 'em up - he'll stand up on his hind legs. Then when you say "bang bang" he plays falls down and plays dead. 
Tug of War - he opens his mouth for you to put in his leash, he closes his mouth and tugs a little 

Lucky also comes with a "sleep" mode and automatically shuts off after not being played with for 3 minutes. 

Playing with Lucky is pretty simple, you command and Lucky performs. Well, Lucky performs most of the time. You need to be sure that he has your attention (barking twice) first before issuing the command. A few of the tricks are a bit more complicated - Put 'em up & Tug of War but the rest are very straight forward. I do notice that both my husband and I had the tendency to want to 'yell' or raise our voices when commanding Lucky - but that isn't necessary.
