All About The American School Of Dog Training
- Nope-the worst possible on the planet!
Contact your local kennel club for real training from real dog-people. - Well, I say do it at home! You don't need someone to tell you what to do in a hall filled with other dogs. I run a dog class myself, and only take my dogs to get them more socialized. I have never taken a dog to dog class to train.
There are loads of books you can buy, but I never have. I got 101 Tricks To Teach Your Dog but that was it. I never buy - or rent - training books. Go to your library and ask.
Make sure you teach him/her the simple, easy commands like Sit and Down, Come and Wait first. It's murder to have a 11 month old dog that doesn't know the word 'Down'.
Good luck! :] - Depends on your Petco or Petsmart as far as if they are good or not. The individual giving the training is the main factor. We like to watch the tv program The Dog Whisperer. We have learned allot from him. There are some good books out there but can not recommend any at this point been awhile since I have needed to read one.
- I'm with Linda C. It all depends on the Petco or Petsmart. Petsmart by me has one super trainer now. But their last trainer was terrible. I learned a great deal from the trainer, and got the basics down pretty well. Now I work with my dog at home using the techniques I learned from her. There are lots of books on training dogs you can buy. Most of the books will say that consistancy is the key. It is! And there are many techniques to use to train. You will need to find what works with your dog. I used positive reinforcement with treats, rewards and praise. That worked with my dog. But it depends on your dog, and the way he/she responds.
If you decide to use a trainer, whether it is Petsmart of Petco, I would talk to whatever trainer you are going to use. Visit a class or two to see what goes on and how the dogs respond to the trainer. I would be cautious if they don't let you sit in or observe a class. Bring your dog and see how your dog responds to the trainer, if that is what you are going to do. Many trainers will let you take a class free of charge, just to check them out. Petsmart let me bring my dog to a beginner class to see how the trainer and my dog got along. And it all worked out and we took the class.
Your other consideration is to do it yourself using books. And sometimes that is a better alternative. Some dogs respond better with one on one training. Some have problems with other dogs and won't do well in a regular training class. Aggression, anxiety etc. are some reasons home schooling is better.
Good luck - I think you might find the information you need at http://kalger.bezoogle.com/pp/dog-training/
