Does Anyone Know About.......

If YOU are the one to train her she will begin to gravitate towards you in normal situations.

It doesn't matter what you train her to do - just get her focussing and working for you.
I've trained my pups to recall, sit, down, play dead, rollover, wait ... and more too - some of those are purely for something to get them working when we're in the house, some are vitally important to have them under safe control when we're out walking, but the process of teaching and training my dogs has contributed greatly to the bonds have.
Also, training is not a puppy thing - all through life, this will need to be maintained and sometimes refreshed as well.
It's a mistake a lot of people make to think that training is something you do when you first get a dog and then they are 'fully trained' and there's no more work.

Look into clicker training, it's a fun easy method.

There's your first command then - 'watch me'.
I used this for my second pup, as he was having trouble focussing on me during training and, in fact, would completely ignore me to the point where he wouldn't even make eye contact!

Have her on a lead, find a treat she really likes, put it in front of her nose to let her smell it and know you've got it and then once she's watching the treat bring your hand up to your face and say the command, then reward if she will watch you for a second - reward immediately to begin with though so that she knows exactly what she's being rewarded for.
Her concentration span will have to be built up slowly - you may find she won't appear to get this for a week or two, but it will be going in! If you can get her to watch you and focus for longer and longer periods of time, it can be a brilliant tool to use during training or anywhere to re-focus her back on you.

Pups need training in the first place to get them to concentrate on training - to begin with, they often don't listen, but getting them to listen and enjoy training is part of the challenge

thank u...i have this clicker thing and she is getting trianed by that.i try using the treat infront of nose technique but she doesnt listen to me at all.i try and try but nothing she only listens to my moms bf.will she ever grow to like me or will she always like him more than me??

You'd be surprised how aware she is of the treat - you need to train her where there are minimum distractions.

You need to really concentrate and focus when you are training her - you'll need to pay her 100% attention in order to notice when she responds and be able to give her the appropriate praise/reward.
Don't give in to the temptation of using a high-pitched, excitable tone to get her attention - speak calmly and firmly without shouting.

When you stroke her after she has done well, stroke under the chin to keep her head up and focus on you also.

Best of luck with her - the key is perseverance - sometimes a dog can take weeks to learn a new command - but if you give up after a week the dog won't learn and you'll constantly feel like it's hopeless - it's worth continuing for the sense of achievement if nothing else.
