Dog Health Questions: What are some good on-line resources for dog training?

I recently got a Labradoodle (a stray, about 2 years old). I know he's going to need some work, but he should be very trainable. He doesn't fetch. I'd like to train him to come to a dog whistle. He shakes (though I think he used to get a treat when he shook, so I think he spontaneously shakes because he wants a treat).

Are there any good books or web pages out there - something I could print out and read at my leasure, etc.?

Recommended Answer:
Go to Dr. P's Training Tips on your search engine. You will find all kinds of stuff on there. There is also the auther Patricia McConnell. She is great. She has a lot of humor in her books which make the reading a lot more fun. It is great that you want a trained dog. I love a saying a heard a while back...your dog wakes up every morning wanting to do nothing but please you and it is your job to teach it how to do that.

• I've had success with positive reinforcement - little treats you give to the dog once he's done something you've asked of him. Negative reinforcement or scolding often makes a dog much less traininable in the log run and should be avoided.


• The industry of dog training is so unregulated, anyone can claim to be a trainer and the advice can be so bad, it can be damaging. Hopefully, what ever site you choose, they have an association with APDT - Association of Pet Dog Trainers whose philosophy and requirements make them very respected in this industry. There is a new site:
  http://www.dogstardaily.com/
  for both dog owners and trainers. It is excellent and the creator is the most respected Man in this industry. Dr. Ian Dunbar who actually started puppy training in the US.


• I would start doing some serious dog training sessions ASAP. Dog trainers/schools are OK, but if YOU are the one that trains your dog, he'll listen to you much more willingly. Here's a dog training course I recommend... http://tinyurl.com/2f8kux
