Labrador training

Archive for December, 2010

I have a 18 months old dog that I am training for HRD. I am working with SEVERAL instructors whoever have said she has AMAZING drive and will make a fine dog with more training. My only problem is that my closests intructor lives an hour away, so I have no regular access to training aids. and as we all know consistency is everything. We had scheduled a trip to visit the "body farm" in knoxville TN but a recent abuse of privaleges (by some one else) has caused them to pull all support. So, are there any good places to obtain training aids? I have heard of sythetic aids, I think its called SIGMA? Is it worth it or should I hold out for something better? I really want to be able to work with her DAILY instead of once every few weeks when I can gain access to training aids. Any info would be greatly appreciated. After looking around, I learned — As well as your local med examiner, contact some of the training clubs to see if they have connections in your region: I see 4 or 5 KY resources here: Here are three helpful books: They used to use fetal pigs, harvested from the nearest hog farmer. Now, they claim that the pigs lead to a confused training. That is likely true. But, it has worked for many years, as that was what was available. I'm hoping that those books will give you some good ideas.

I am planning on getting a dog soon. this will not be my first dog, but it will be my dog that requires training. any adive on how to house break and any other training would be really helpful. thanks. What I found out was – The individual who thinks it is a good idea to shove a dogs nose in his waste is WRONG. Although this may work over time it is NOT the most effective way to house train a dog. Also, terriers are not going to take longer to train. That is a general assumption that is in no way true. I have 4 mastiffs and 2 terriers. I am also an active dog trainer. I have worked with several breeds of dogs that all train on different levels. As it may be assumed that bully breeds are harder to train, its just not true. Most dogs have brains and need training to their specific situations. It is that simple. Quick thought on house training: Dogs that are not house broken should not be on teir own in the home. They should not roam free and that is the owners responsibility. Your dog should be a general down stay position where he or she cannot use the bathroom. Tell me the last time you saw a dog laying down use the bathroom. Learn their/ create their outside bathroom schedule. Know the basic times and when that time is approaching you make sure you have that dog at your side. Positive reinforcement is a great thing after they handle their business outside. A simple bathroom command should be enforced(hurry up), after they make you praise and return to the home. NEVER PUT THEIR FACE IN IT AND SCREAM AT THEM.
