Some dog training questions.

i love the hooves because is takes a little while for them to eat.. but still *gives* enough to keep their attention... and they are only $1!!!

When he's barking in his crate, ignoring is great, because if you go to him, he will learn that's how i get mom's attention.. HOwever if it doesn't stop while ignoring him, what you can try is get a squirt bottle and spray him with water and at the same time, say no. I had to use the squirt bottle with my dog a bit when she was younger

And you didn't mention what type of dog it is, but if it's a breed that is bigger that can tend to be, how to word this, a strong willed dog so to speak.. ie shephard, rott, when he is showing you his teeth he is always trying to take alpha position over you, so you need to correct this now before it gets too late, problem is with a puppy you have to be careful with correcting, and i'm actually not sure how to handle that one, but maybe you can ask the trainer when you train him.

good luck..

So far he's learned that "barking back" doesnt get him anywhere & as i have stood up to him, he's stopped that, mostly. I believe a portion of it comes from just wanting to play, he doesnt look aggressive..
He's slowly getting our routine & its getting easier. Like with a baby, it takes time to get adjusting to different needs.

He is a silver lab.=]
