I would say the best way to train a dog is patience, time, and little treats like little pieces of chicken or little dog treats. For the dog to obey that would go along with the training process, you need to train him for him to obey your commands and listen to you. For the dogs shape you shouldn't be able to see bones but also he shouldn't look like a balloon. They have charts out there and some vets have them hanging up what your dog should look like. As far as the out of control one, my dog has never been out of control but i would say either try to get him in control and that goes along with training or some people bring there dog to obedience classes. If your dog is sick you usually know, either they throw up, they have a loose stool, and you know your dog best so sometimes if they act funny like not themselves that could be a sign. But i knew this little kid who got his first puppy and it seemed a little skinny but depending on the dog sometimes they look that way. but he was always playing and seemed fine until they brought him to the vet and he had liver failer and ended up dying from it. So not all the time people are able to tell with signs if its something internal unless the dog is in a lot of pain.

Every one of these questions can be found online by doing a google search. You can also go to your local library and find a basic training book. Finding the answers for yourself is the best way to do your project.

Hi, Hope that this will help you: Dog training begins with admitting poor dog behavior. This extends from just using the toilet in the house to other bad issues such as chewing, jumping, and wandering off. You will want to teach your pet to stay with you. Listen to your commands, and respond to your wishes quick. Doing this will enable you to control how your dog behaves and whether he or she will listen to you when you tell them to stop. The best way to get your dog to listen to you is to use the reward system. Each time your puppy does what you tell him or her to, give the pup a cookie. This incentive will have your dog listening to you intently. With each reward also give praise. This way you can phase treats out and simply give praise for good behavior. The Potty Problem When your dog is using your home as a toilet, things can be tense. No one wants to be cleaning up after their dog forever inside. There are many ways dog training can enable you to control where your dog goes to the bathroom. First you will need to evaluate your dog’s age and health status. If you have a puppy that is healthy, it is safe to say that you are simply teaching your dog where the potty is and how to communicate to you it is time to go. If your dog is over a year old and using your home as a toilet, there might be some other issues. He might be nervous, abused in the past, or sick. Older dogs that are not using the outside for toilet use should be seen by a vet prior to beginning any type of training. Once a good bill of health is given you can then use behavior modification to fix the problem.
