I'm just wondering if anyone here has heard of or purchased the "Hands-off" dog training program (http://www.thedogtrainingsecret.com), and how well it works.
Is it any different from clicker training?
Thanks
3 Steps for Teaching Fido the Basic Behavior Dog Training
Recommended Answer:
You know, there comes a point in time when people must realize that dog training is not rocket science and it is not something that will be continually re-invented.
Training methods that work on all dogs have been around since the late 40's, early 50's. Bill Koehler was the modern day father of dog training and many other people came after him and copied him and took methods further.
The link you posted will not open, however, I have heard about the idea you are discussing and it is full of holes and inconsistencies and has no basis or method for real world training that must include proofing.
Do some research on Koehler dog training and train your dog using methods that are proven. Good luck to you.
Dog Training Courses - Which One is Right For You?
- Although I have read web ads for kennels that "train" that way I can not imagine how it would work. Just as there are a couple of trainers who use a shock collar for POSITIVE reinforement. I can not fathom and BTW, neither did my Dobe, how a shock, no matter how slight is positive. I do use a shock collar and have for 15 yrs but I use it for correcting bad behavior out of reach ie; barking and bit*h fighting.
- As geekman has said there are a number of dog training methods that are all based on the same ideas. I suggest you fully reasearch any training program before you purchase one. A good start for your research is http://www.best-dog-training.com Here you will find lots of dog training articles and ideas.
Hope this helps.
