Using Reward Based Dog Training
Recommended Answer:
Praise and compulsion, just like EVERY training method should be. Look it up, the most widely used and success full training system in the world, period!! Hope I hope.
ADD: well, you know what they say Anne b...his info is worth its weight in gold, that is why his books command so much money, customer demand.
Of course he is not a positive BS trainer, he trained REAL dogs for Disney, the War dog program and not to mention a little over 10K private dogs himself...Yeah, he is old school, whatever that hell that means!!!
ADD: Anne...where do you see the attack here, I am just mentioning FACTS, something you accuse me of being opinions in the other question...and yet, here you are "factual" as you are the only one that can be factual.
Koehler was and his system is still a great training system.
Your claims of being attacked lead me to believe that you may be a little insecure...please, address that issue!!!
See, no attack, just concern.
Easy Steps to Boxer Dog Training
- It's one of the older training methods, and although not at harsh as it used to be, there are still many methods out there much easier on the dogs. Dog trainers all have their favorite methods that have worked for them, depending upon what they are training their dogs for. Everyday pet training doesn't require a Koehler method to simply teach you dog to come, sit, down, leave it, and don't pull on the leash. Guard dog training is one thing and training a nicely mannered pet is another.
Having been a trainer for many years with several different breeds of dogs, I've come a long way with the method I use, from a pop and jerk, to a more "thinking" way of working with my best friend.
Toys and treats and a consistent trainer turn an owner and dog into a team, without harshness. - Greek and I disagree on this topic. Some of Koehler's methods, I think, are just fine, however, I staunchly oppose his negative reinforcement methods. I will give you examples of what bothers me about his training. For a dog that digs, he says to fill the hole with water and push your dog's head under long enough so that he almost drowns. For barking he advocates striking the dog with hose and pipe. For aggression, hanging the dog until it loses consciousness. I do agree with Greek and Launi in that if a dog is coming at you in attack mode and may kill or maim you, the hanging method may be absolutely necessary, though. For me and my dogs, however, Koehler is not the trainer for me. I prefer Turid Rugaas and Linda Tellington-Jones.

They sure seem to want way too much money for his books!
He has been referred to as "old school". Not a positive based trainer.
ETA: Greekman, are you having issues with my statements of fact? His books ARE expensive, he IS referred to as "old school"(and you know it), and he is NOT a positive based trainer. I didn't even mention the fact that I am not a fan.
You give the perception of being defensive, when no defense is needed here. This is an example of your tendency to personal attack that has nothing to do with the content of the question. - Any training method that endorses praise and compulsion rather than treats and toys works for me.
Edit: I was not aware this method includes such things as BSL stated. For a pet quality dog that is extreme. - Greek is right. Here's a link to a website that gives you an overview about it.
http://www.koehlerdogtraining.com/ - im not too clear either. the best way to find out is do some research.
