Why would you need to hire a dog trainer anyway? This is a question that many people ask

when the subject comes up. You often hear people claiming to have managed to train their

old dog without such help. These same well meaning folks will often go on to tell you

about the antiquated methods that grandpa handed down such as hitting "Old Trusty" on the nose with a rolled up newspaper, or hanging a dead chicken around his neck to teach him not to kill animals.

The person educated in the correct use of dog training and canine psychology when hearing these

types of tales will secretly be thinking, it was amazing that old "Trusty" survived grandpas abuse.

Maybe he did by avoiding being around grandpa at any cost. "Trusty" probably saw grandpa and ran in the opposite direction or low crawled his way to him with the anticipation of more abuse. Beating a dog into submission is not training! Training, when done properly, uses the intelligence of the human race to manipulate the dog into desired behavior, not our barbaric caveman side.

So back to the original question of "Why would you hire a pet dog trainer?" Most people do so when they run into problems that they fully understand they lack the knowledge to solve. Usually frustration has built up when the dog is constantly having house breaking issues, or he is destroying items in the home or yard. He may have a running away issue, or just be unruly in general. Dog training is often the last effort owners make in saving the dog from being delivered to a shelter. The most intelligent of owners however, will use dog training to solve these problems BEFORE they ever become issues. As a dog trainer, my favorite clients are the ones that call before they get the puppy. They know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. They often will ask questions about the tendencies of their breed of choice BEFORE making the selection. This in and of itself can prevent them from starting off on the wrong foot or making the wrong choice for their situation. A good example of this is the 75 year old grandmother who lived in a condo who wanted to know if I thought it was a good idea for her to take on the Alaskan Malamute puppy that her grandchildren had bought and now no longer wanted to keep. The issues with the puppy were unruliness, destruction, and jumping up on people. The last of which would obviously been a problem for a 75 year old woman. We finally resolved the issue by deciding that the appropriate thing to do would be for the grandchildren (who were teenagers) to keep and train the dog. Grandma paid for it. The puppy kept his now happier home. Grandma lived a happier life than she would with the possibility of a broken hip caused by a well meaning but overly zealous puppy.

The aforementioned puppy was trained first at 5 months of age with all of it's basic obedience, problem solving, and home manners (stopping at doors, gates, boundaries, and coming in and laying in "place" in a relaxed down stay) as well as giving the owners proper management techniques such as the use of a crate and dog run area when they were not there to monitor the dogs behavior. As he became an even larger teenager of approximately one year of age, he continued his education into a more advanced level of training to insure that he remained manageable. This family was able to not only retain their dog but to enjoy him into old age, all because Grandma made a very important phone call and found out what she could do about a situation with a puppy that was getting out of control for the entire family.

So now that we know why people hire Pet Dog Trainers, the next question should be "How do I find a good one?" This is not an easy question to answer because it requires a bit of explaining as to how one becomes a Pet Dog Trainer. I keep referring to the trainer as a Pet Dog Trainer rather than just a trainer because there are many different types of trainers. The are for instance Movie Dog Trainers, Sport Dog Trainers (for specific competitions), Police Dog Trainers, Gun Dog Trainers, etc. Each of these types of trainers has in common that they train dogs but the applications are vastly different and most don't correlate well to Pet Dog Training. The Pet Dog Trainer needs to know how to train any breed of dog to be a good pet. This is more difficult than it sounds because it requires that the trainer be able to adjust their methods according to the individual dog (breed, temperament, size etc)

Although some trainers start out in a particular field such as Sport Dog Training, or Police Dog Training, and then move on to Pet Dog Training, this requires an addition to their education. Unfortunately many of these types never get that education and try to apply their old techniques that may have been applicable on a Sport Dog (take shock collars for instance) a clients pet Maltipoo. In our opinion, the best education that a Pet Dog Trainer can get is working for another Pet Dog Trainer for a minimum of one to two years. It is true that there are courses around that offer certification in training but few of them provide any substantial experience with numbers of dogs.

So where do you start when looking for a Pet Dog Trainer for your dog? As with most services a word of mouth recommendation from someone who has already used a particular trainer and was satisfied with the service is best. Asking your veterinarian, groomer, or other pet professional for a

recommendation would be second. Whether or not you get such a recommendation you can start with an Internet search in your area to narrow down the possibilities. Call several places but make sure you have a list of questions prepared ahead of time that you ask all of them. This helps you narrow down your field of possibilities by comparing the same issues rather than different ones. If the web sites have already given you the answers to certain questions you don't need to ask them unless you have a reason to doubt the information. Here are some critical questions you should always ask and receive satisfactory answers to:

1. How long have you been in the business of Pet Dog Training?

Make sure that you are clear that you are asking about the BUSINESS not about how long the

person has been training dog, or combined experience with their staff. This is important to

know for two reasons. First, you don't want your dog to be an experiment for an inexperienced trainer. Everyone started somewhere but I don't know a single client that wants to volunteer to

be the a first where their PET is concerned. Also, you want to be as sure as possible that your

trainer will be there for you when you come back for help or more training at a later date. Many

dog trainers hang their shingle and then go out of business in 2-5 years due to a lack of

experience in running a business or other factors.

2. What kind of methods do you use and how did you develop them?

There are three main schools of thought in dog training. The person you are talking with will

likely reveal their methods right away by how they describe them to you. First at the far left

of the spectrum you have your head halter and click and treat style trainers. These methods

are generally best suited to dogs with naturally subordinate natures. This method relies on

the giving and withholding of reward as a base method with the clicker to "mark" the correct

behavior. While there is nothing "wrong" with this method it does not work well for producing

practical daily behavior in a large number of dogs. It is best used as an introduction to commands

with young puppies and dogs with compliant temperaments. People are usually not willing to have

a clicker on them at all times. In addition head halters may look more humane than training collars

but if they are not used properly they can wrench or even break a dogs neck. Head halters

are good for controlling the head of a dog who may be aggressive, or an extreme puller but

there are other methods that work for these situations as well.

The second school of thought is the better known training collar method which can include

various types of collars dependent on the needs of the dog. Standard jerk and release training

methods are applied here. Generally ritual behavioral parameters will be set for the dog

around the house and corrections utilizing sound, taste, and smell associations will also be

applied. There should never be abuse such as kicking, hitting, or hanging, associated with

this method. There should be reward associated with this method as well. Such rewards

can be intermittent food, toy, verbal, and physical praise. This is a centrist style of training.

The third and final style of training is the far right extreme of using a shock collar as the basis

or part of Pet Dog Training. Shock collars are tempting to people simply because you push a

button to to correct the dog and do not need the physicality of using a manual correction.

The basic problem with this is that shock tends to make such an impression on the dog that

it effect the entire nervous system. Dogs with weak nervous systems to begin with can become

extremely nervous anticipating the next shock and can shut down all together. It is a sad

fact that the same pets store chains that will not allow their "trainers" to us any sort of correction

for fear of legal repercussions will sell a shock collar to an unsuspecting customer in a heart beat

simply because it is a high ticket item.

It is true that there are uses for shock collars in more advanced applications such as sport and

police dogs but the difference here is that they are utilized in most cases by seasoned trainers

and not shock happy owners who have no understanding of the proper use of this device, let

alone the consequences of using it on the wrong dog or improperly. It is our opinion that shock

should never be used by Pet Dog Owners. The possible exception to this rule is extreme dog on

dog aggression. Even in this situation the collar should be first utilized by the trainer, and the follow up training with the owner should be extensive.

3. Once you determine the method that is right for you a type of training must be selected.

There are 4 basic types of training available: Group Classes, Private On Field, Private In

Home, and In Kennel Training (this should always be followed up by lessons for the owner

preferably on the trainers field and in your home).

Group Classes: The least expensive but typically also the least effective. The reason that group

classes are less effective is that you share time with several other people and dogs. There is

also a high drop out rate due to the fact that life happens, people get ill, something comes up

with the kids etc., and the class goes on without you. Past a certain point it is hard to rejoin the

class.

Private On Field: One step above group classes is Private On Field. These are generally offered

at the trainers field once per week but the lesson is strictly for you and your dog. Like group

classes there is very little if any problem solving because the trainer is never in your home.

The good thing about Private Field Lessons is that they are yours and therefore can be rescheduled

in most cases if you are ill or find yourself otherwise engaged. Because the trainer doesn't have to

drive to your location this is less expensive than In Home Lessons.

In Home Training: This form of training works well for problems and manners around the home

because the trainer is there in your environment to help you with these issues. As with the two

courses outlined above the training depends almost exclusively on your following your homework with

the dog daily. This training is more expensive than the courses above because it is based on

your convenience and the trainer driving to your home each week.

In Kennel Training: This form of training is the most popular with extraordinarily busy people.

It has all of the instant gratification that people want. You drop your dog off at a kennel facility,

and pick him up 3-4 weeks later trained. But it is not really that easy! First you need to make sure of the facility that you are intrusting your dog to. Make sure that the trainer actually owns

the facility or you may end up with a disappearing trainer or worse a disappearing dog if the owner

of the kennel and the trainer part ways. In addition, the trainer in this situation is only at the

kennel for a brief amount of time each day and your dog is actually being cared for most of the

day by the staff of the kennel. Since the trainer has no say in the employees performance they

can be undoing the training as fast as the trainer is training. Contrast this to the trainer who

owns the facility and is responsible for 100% of the care your dog gets. In this situation you

know who is the bottom line in responsibility for your dog, and you know that your trainer isn't

going anywhere anytime soon because kennel facilities tend to cost hundreds of thousands if

not millions.

An in kennel course should always be followed by field and preferably in home lessons for the

owner. This is crucial to the success of the owner living with the dog. The owner may wish to

have a push button dog when the trainer is finished but the reality is that the training is just

fast tracked for the owner. It is still the owners responsibility to work the dog and establish

parameters for the dogs behavior within the home environment. This can be facilitated by the

trainer but cannot be accomplished by the trainer alone.

Choosing the right type of course for you has allot to do with your own temperament and trainability

and that of your dog. As funny as that sounds it is really true. Any trainer will tell you that it is much harder to train the human end of the leash than it is the dog. Your trainer should always

want to evaluate your dog and sit down and speak with you in a consultation before helping you

decide what is right for you. Beware of people that will quote you an exact price and time frame

over the phone. How do they even know if your dog is trainable? Not all dogs are. Dogs can have

genetic issues or medical issues that render them untrainable or at least requires them to visit

their veterinarian prior to starting training. Your trainer should council you as to what type of

training is right for your particular schedule and your dogs particular issues.

One final word about interviewing potential trainers. Do so with finesse. Don't approach this

process as though you were interrogating the trainer. A good trainer should not mind answering

your questions but the conversation should have the tone of give and take. The trainer may want

to ask you some questions about yourself and the dog as well. If you approach the trainer in a

fashion that is one sided they may assume that you are a competitor doing a competition survey.

This is quite common in the business and questions that are overly sophisticated may set off the

alarm bells with the person you are speaking to. It is much more pleasant for everyone concerned

if you go about your interview by having a pleasant conversation.

Train Chihuahua Puppies in easily-with the right frame of Mind in the preparation of the Chihuahua!

Training chihuahua Puppies can be tough but rewarding. Often seem to have a mind of their own. Understanding of the right frame of mind should you need.

The first thing to do when starting to train an animal is to gain their trust and respect. The same applies when training your dog or puppy. A dog is an animal pack and so need to be top dog or a fan.You must make it absolutely clear that you're the top dog and pet is a fan of this is the first step towards basic education of your pet.

I believe is or is not a dog really I would like to have these limits, provided that this is similar to the limits set by dog on top of a package. each dog in the pack knows what is responsible and what is expected of him and know where they stand in the pecking order. This structure allows the dog pack to work together and to survive and your dog is in fact this kind of leadership. If they do not take this leadership by, you may have a very frightened and confused pet on your hands and you sure you want to avoid at all costs.

Don't get into a situation where your dog can choose between staying or moving away. For this reason, this type of training should be done on leash. By doing this you will be conditioning your dog to believe that when you stay put him into a position he has no choice but to stay.This, however, takes time and perseverance from you.

For this sort of training you are going to have to really make it worth your dog's while to wait for your return.Use a treat that your dog loves it, like muy kabana or cheese, and only use it for this type of training. You can also use toys but don't let your dog have access to it at any other time.

Start in an area of your house or yard where there are no distractions. This could be a passage way or verandah.Put your dog on leash and ask him to sit or drop. Use a hand signal and say ' stay ' or ' wait '. It doesn't matter what word you use as long as you stick to it and don't change it or vary it in any way.

Take one very small step away from your dog and one good dog ".It takes about one second to say this phrase and is an easy way for you to keep track of how long you are exception: your dog to stay. Return to your dog and give it a pat or a treat; later on you will mix these up a bit so your dog doesn't get used to getting a treat each time.Repeat this exercise about 3 to 4 times a day if you have time. Intensify increase the time and distance you are away from your dog.

If you dog gets up and wanders off and it is not on a leash you have lost control of your dog. By keeping your dog on a leash, you can bring it back to you and re-command it into a sit or drop and then resume your stay training.

Sounds easy so far, doesn't it? Don't make the mistake of thinking your dog is ready to be left for a long time until it is at the proofing stage of training. Many people do this and then shake control of their dog in a busy situation.

You will find that your dog will break at a certain point and want to come to you. Walk back to your dog, re-command it into a sit or drop and decrease the distance and time. Your dog will eventually learn to trust you and will wait patiently for your return.

Dogs can't see very well over distances.We have better eyesight so keep this in mind when you are exception it to stay. The further you go away the more fuzzier your outline will appear. If your dog can't smell or here you then it will break its stay to find you. To stop this, I will often repeat the stay command loudly so my dogs understand what they have to do. If a pillow appears, like the cat, then I repeat the stay command louder again. My dogs will look at me and back to the cat and depending upon their level of training make a choice. If they make the choice I want, I reward them with two or more treats and I return quickly.I want them to learn to make the right choice so I make sure they are rewarded quicker rather than sooner when it may be too late and they have broken the stay.

Dogs are amazing at reading our whole body language so keep facing your dog the entire time. This is the opposite of recall training where you rapidly face the direction you want your dog to go in.Also I use a hand signal so if my dogs ' no is weakened they can look and see what it is I want them to do. It is important to hold your arm and hand out from your body to one side. As I mentioned earlier, dogs can't see very well at a distance.If you hold your hand in front of your body, your dog won't be able to see it that well. If you hold your hand out to one side, they will be able to ' read ' your body language and will follow your command.

I held my border collie in a drop/stay position to stop him from attacking a chainsaw.He couldn't 't hear my commands because of the noise of the chainsaw but he understood what I wanted from him because he had been trained to not only listen to my commands but read my body language. I also leaned forward and locked eyes with him as dominant dogs do when instructing subservient dogs. Being able to hold your dog in a stay from a distance may save its life if it is on the other side of a busy road from you, you can hold him in stay until you are able to get over to it.

Don't make very excited noises when exception: your dog to stay. You are only going to set him or her up for failure especially if you have a young dog.Use a loud almost stern voice when giving commands.

Increase distractions as you enter the training phase. Once your dog knows what you want you are in the training phase. This is where you can introduce distractions. Try things like moving to an area where there's more things happening, like the television room or the local park? ask someone to bounce a ball near your dog? use other dogs and so on.

As you reach the proofing stage of your training, put your dog into a drop/stay and walk around it. See if you can do this three times; if not, re-command into a drop/stay and only do it once or twice. Some trainers can jump from one side of their dog to another and do all sorts of interesting and fun things and their dog won't move.This, however, takes a long time to achieve so don't be disheartened if your dog breaks his command to begin with.

Do not yen or punish your dog and always be positive in all your training sessions. If your dog is too distracted and breaks the stay, go back a few steps: shorten the time and the distance and reinforce what you have already covered with your dog.

As you become better accomplished at training you can increase the length of the leash.There are special leashes available called long lines or you can tie 2 or more leashes together or just use rope.

Don't get angry if dog breaks a lot.Your dog will lose its trust in you which is extremely difficult to get back? more difficult than controlling your temper.Take your time when you are training this skill.The longer you take and the more distractions you introduce while your dog is on leash, the more ' concrete ' his learning will be.

Remember: always give your dog the opportunity to correct its behaviour and do the right thing.It is up to you to teach what is acceptable and what is not.Reward acceptable behaviour; discourage unacceptable behaviour by using loud noises, unpleasant withdrawal of attention or treats or leaving your dog on its own.Never hit or strike your dog; you will only be teaching him that violence is an acceptable behaviour in your pack and he may use it on other pack members or friends including children.

Always keep training sessions short-about 10 minutes is more than long enough for a beginner dog.Always end your training sessions on a high even if you have only done one or two repetitions of the exercise.Your dog will remember the positive thing most needs quicker.And always enjoy yourself then your dog will enjoy himself too.

Why your dog Training was the best Thing you can do for your Pet

Most dogs enjoy hearing and are proud of their knowledge and skills to acquire. Untrained dogs is rarely as happy as trained and much less interesting life. Many dogs also get a sense of security by obedience and discipline, especially those smarter.

Every owner of awake to see himself that the dog gets more satisfaction from the praise rewarding a well-run command or good behavior than do than momentary enthusiasm of the electorate, which is typically followed by feelings of guilt, (ears back and avoiding eye contact), even when he has not been punished.

Owners vary in talent training, just like the dogs they differ in terms of their ability.Some people are born animal trainers and perform remarkable results with little effort, but even the best instructors seldom is equally successful with any breed of dog. Modalities of which are highly successful with one type of dog can be totally ineffective against another.

A basic psychological affinity, including a specific type of personality appears to be necessary during the training a dog. All good trainers hold authority, patience and self-regulation. Brilliant have an additional unspecified "x" quality that is probably a combination of love and respect.

Technical training dog was so well systematized in recent years that at least gifted the owner can achieve reasonably good results with the effort, persistence, patience and understanding. Dogs have a much greater understanding intelligence than most people give them credit for. Able to learn, but we should give our time and patience.

All pet dogs should be basic obedience training as a matter of course, and not only when they develop bad behavior. Today's dogs living in a much faster growth rates in the world, just as you do.Although we are with them when they are out to the public, may even cause "or" titloforisw. While the training cannot be fully compensate poor playback, a bad environment or poor upbringing, certainly can help.The world will teach them how to exhibit, but to our pet parents to teach them how to behave.

Specialized training is not necessary, unless the dog is to perform or display, such as purebred dogs this level of training and behavior requires much more time and labor and usually requires a higher efficiency of the dog, and much more tact and patience of the instructor. training of so-called "champion" show dogs typically begins when puppies and continues through most of their lives.

Training your dog is the basics of behaviour and contact you can be very profitable. what may be a lack of experience, equipment, facilities, etc.usually compensated by your desire dogs please his loves and lives with, which is the most powerful incentives.
