Great Dane puppy training question?

My Great Dane puppy Thor is 4 months old. Very healthy, happy and for the most part as well behaved as you can reasonably expect a baby to be.

He is growing fast and is now tall enough to stick his head in the trash can. He has started digging through the trash and tearing it up.

I try to keep an eye on him, but it is impossible to watch him every second. He is crate trained, so he does not wander around the house at night or when I am not home.

I have bought a can of stuff that is supposed to be a harmless dog repellant and sprayed it all over the outside of the trash can, including the lid. It does not seem to bother him or slow him down at all.

He is otherwise a sweet natured and well behaved puppy. I am training him to sit and stay and walk on a leash, those I can do with treats and praise. I understand how to teach what I want him to do; however I am at a loss when it comes to teaching him what I do not want him to do.

Thank you in advance for your help.

training my great dane??

I have a 1 1/2 yo great dane. He is the GREATEST dog I have ever had. He sits, stays, speaks, shakes, comes, stays etc... I don't even have to have him on a leash in my unfenced back yard or the park or where ever(i do for legal reasons when required).

OK so the only thing I cant get this great dog to too is STOP EATING OFF THE TABLE,TRASH and anything with people food on it.

I have had the dog for a week. I do not give him people food, but the previous owner more then likely did.
Yes this dog is very smart. NO does it and he backs away, but he will come back and do it right in front of me like its nothing
"donna and jesse" great site and you know your stuff.

the answer is not to simply make it so the dog cant get it. I should be able to leave a t-bone steak right in front of my dog and say one command and he will NEVER even look at it unless I say its ok. any dog can be trianed like that and I have trianed this dog a lot in a week, but I was stuck on one problem. sorry, but if you just make it so the dog cant get it then you are not trianing your dog.

How do i get my 4 yo Yorkie Pomeranian mix to stop begging?

Every night at the dinner table they stare at me probably because i'm the only one who has given them scraps before but i stopped because they started gaining more and more weight. Mistake on my part i know. Now my Yorkie Pomeranian stands up on her hind legs and puts her paws on the chair. Shes even tried to get into the trash when i threw a piece of food away! She's not starving i change her food and water everyday! What do i do? Thanks!
