Ant bites can cause hot spots as well and it's not something that is normally thought of

just watched CM mastering leadership vol4 and it's not that bad. If it was to be followed by a lot of new owners there would be far less rescue dogs out there it's all about basic obedience. I still don't like a lot of his methods.

Hi brad She does training and behaviour work. For twelve years she served with the RAAF as a specialist police dog handler and trainer well as a specialist drug detector dog handler and trainer. But I'm not exactly sure on the exact veterinary quali…

Hi Kwyld Yea she did suggest the ecollar as well as a few other things. She is a trainer that has been around for a long time and she also works with rescue dogs that have behaviour problems I'm not sure on her exact qualifications but she does ge…

By the way I'm just starting to learn how powerful of a tool that little clicker is. It makes training go so much smoother.

Well i spoke to our behaviourist again today on the phone and she suggested an e collar for his chasing problem. I'm not to sure about this one I've worked so hard with him to not use any negativities in his training I don't want to use this type of…

Bread I agree the issues are totally manageable. As for re homing my dog It's not an option he's a member of the family and we stick together. I would be struggling to find somebody else that has as much time for him as we do. I would hate to see …

Thanks for the thread brad. Any way it's been a bad day for me and my akita today. While i was at work my 14yo daughter was told by my wife to put Toby my little fox terrier in the laundry to give him a bone.They are always fed separate to prevent …

I'm training my dog my self because I'm unable to find a suitable trainer It's not really a problem as I have trained dogs in the past but this trainer told me she was entirely a positive method trainer and that's what I wanted to learn. Then on the…

With leerberg he trains dogs for protection work and i have done this also but have used rotties and i do understand by what he means by a dog with good nerves and i disagree it does not mean a dog that can be abused it means the dog can take a corr…

People get confused with prong collars the prong collar is not designed to cause pain (but it can if misused) The correction should only be gentle and only enough for the dog to regain focus on what it should be doing it should not be used to corre…

What i have done in the past if a dog comes up and starts fighting with mine while mine is on lead is to drop the lead and get behind the other dog and pull him away by the back legs and dont stop moving (The other dog will try to bite you DON'T STO…

One thing i'm confused with in the video with the pit bull is why the dog is looking at the handler when in the presence of the other dog is he waiting for the correction with the pinch collar or a food reward from the handler. Can some body enlight…

He's fine now it rained and he slipped on some tiles and his leg twisted under him but it seems to be fine now. He will let me squeeze and touch it now so no damage done.
-
Also did any body notce at 1:15 the woman pinches the dog (one of ceasers classic stupid practices)
-
Wow it didn't take some body long to work that out dlroberts you hit the nail on the head. As you stated the fear is still there which means that the behavioural problem is still there underlying. I agree that with gentle conditioning and socialisat…

Ok Jessica I'll agree on your point of human patience being a big part in positive methods of training but I did try all of these methods for over 6 months to try and get my rotti over the cattle grid honestly I don't think he could see the grid. I …
-
Interesting comments. What methods would you suggest to get the dog to preform the task of getting up the stairs AFTER positive methods have failed i would like to no so I can improve my knowledge of training under these situations.
-
Well I've really started to get results and all it took was using his food bowl at meal times. I would get my wife to hold him near the front door and call him from the other end of the yard at meal time and he would run to me when i called his name…
-
It is an interesting comparison BUT notice the body language on the 2 dogs the one being just stubborn taking the bath he is still happy and is in the right mind set to take training (tail wagging the entire time) the second dog with ceaser is scare…

I don't like e collars personally but as shishiinu stated they do have there uses as long as the dog understands that the correction is from the handler and not from environment or other places it could be a great training tool. I feel that training…

Akitas love to chew things sticks bits of clothes pegs E.C.T. one trick I learned while breeding rotties was to soak a piece of cotton wool in a sweet drink and feed it to the dog and it will pass through and pick up anything stuck on the way. He mi…

Also i forgot to mention i had my puppy permanently leashed with me 24/7 for 6 days so he could learn the rules of the house as for letting him play in the garden for free why not put him on the leash and be patient until he goes to the toilet then …

sounds like he is trying to be the dominant one. My pup was exactly the same and he had to learn that using his mouth is unacceptable my puppy use to get really excited when he first came inside and get really mouthy so i started to bring him inside…

He is a big sweetie and has a partner in crime my 19 month old daughter they are like two peas in a pod. Ramps follows her around everywhere and he is very gentle and very protective of her he is also showing that he is going to be a great watch dog…

Well I'm going to give my trainer a chance and see how my dog goes. He's had to do a fair bit of catch up training since i got him as he was 12 weeks old before he started any form of training he was living in a kennel at the breeders house. He alre…

Thank you for all the comments and advice I really just want to do the best for my puppy I also forgot to mention that when he is around the kids and he's playing nicely and the kids are laughing and having fun he gets a reward as well it was only w…
