Dog Health Questions: How many people really think anyone can do Personal Protection Training in dogs?

I have long believed that people will do or say anything to make themselves right on an issue where they have literally stepped in something that smells bad. I have always tried to understand that everyone makes mistakes and that includes me. Further, I hope I am big enough to admit when I am wrong.
I have made the statement on several occasion that the average pet owner is not capable of doing their own protection training in a dog, and I have gotten upset more than a few times when I see people come on and ask such questions as How do I make my dog kill on command? or How do I make my Pit Bull's head bigger so he looks meaner? or What is the best book to buy so I can train my dog to be mean?
Maybe I am wrong. I believe there are people who are capable of training their dogs but I also believe they need assistance and for something as important as personal protection, they most certainly need someone who is well trained in the art.
However, I will be the first to admit, though I have watched others train, and I have even assisted at times, this is not my forte. So, I would like input from you guys on the idea that anyone can train a dog for personal protection, and also, should personal protection training be promoted in the average canine?
Most of you know I am working on some rescue issues with my county right now and writing several proposals. One of the reasons I am asking this is because we have always tried to put stipulations in our proposals with the county that deals specifically with laws associated with dog training. For example: we have a stipulation right now that states anyone who deliberately trains a domesticated dog that is a family pet to attack will be fined and the dog confiscated. It is not worded exactly like that, but I think you guys get the idea.
Thanks in advance for your discussions on this.

Once again, another 1 year old copy and paste question. You are reported!

Dog Training Tip - Leash-Collar Training

• Sorry, but your lack of knowledge is as clear as day. It does not matter how skilled or experienced you are, no one can train their own PP dog. It takes a team of people. A handler, a decoy, distraction people, etc....
  If you are one of those extremists who think that only law enforcement should be allowed to have dogs trained to protect then there is no point in this conversation.
  The right dog, the right handler, the right team, and the right training are all basic.


• Huh. The 'average' pet owner barely knows which end of the leash to use if they use one at all.
  
  No. No one but a professional licensed in this field. Period. No arguments, no exceptions.
  
  What I am starting to find disturbing is the videos you can access. Many of them are 'home made' and the so called 'trainer' hasn't a clue in hell what he(she) is doing. People look at them and think
  Well, I can do that! Even with the videos that are obviously done by professionals it is still disturbing.
  
  People are wanting dogs to 'protect' them. To 'protect' their home. Protect their children.
  
  It is not the animal's job to protect. It is our job as the owners of these dogs to protect them, our home and children.
  
  Unfortunately, I do believe Launi is very capable of coming to my assistance if she felt I was being threatened. It is unfortunate because she would be in my line of fire.
  
  And I am very sorry to tell everyone this but a PP dog, no matter how deadly, is no match for a firearm.


• Most pet owners are lucky to be able to get their dog to do a recall never mind protection training. I believe that should only be done by trained professionals and have a poorly trained protection dog is as dangerous as a loaded gun given to a 5yr old.
  Any dog that is properly socialized, loved and cared for by the owners will protect them. Most dogs are territorial and will protect what they believe is their home.. My Standard Poodles wouldn't let anyone in my house if they were not invited. 3 large dogs with teeth bared were enough of a deterrent for one would be burglar..

Dog Health Questions: Help with 4 month old dog?

So my 4 month old German Shepherd/Black Lab mix has a problem with growling and getting aggressive towards my family if he hasn't seen them for a short time. An example would be I'm in the computer room for an hour with him then my son or wife walks in and immediately the dog rushes forward growling and barking (I always snatch him up before anything happens). I just received the dog yesterday and understand that it will take time for him to get used to the family.

What can I do stop the behavior and tell him that it is bad? I really don't want to go old school, but it is the only way I know to teach a dog not to do things. Anyone know a good way to reinforce good behavior and stop bad behavior?

Also does anyone know how pricey personal at home dog training is (on average)? I couldn't find any sites with rates.

Do You Need Dog Training Tools When You Train Your Dog?

Recommended Answer:
I really agree that a shock collar would be best for this situation. It doesn't hurt as long as you keep it on a low level (I should know, I try it on myself before I ever put it on any of my dogs)

When he is behaving, give him a treat and praise. This needs to be nipped in the butt now, otherwise you are going to have a full grown monster.

Ignore the other comments that say Shock collars are cruel, because I have had so many dogs that I train competitively. I have had dogs that tried to be dominate, but one shock and they usually never do it again then are happy for the rest of their lives.

It is better to stop this now than to have this dog end up getting put down for biting.REMEMBER TO KEEP IT ON A LOW LEVEL.

Show Dog Training

• Well, I would try putting him on a leash go into a room with him with 1 family member at a time. First you will lead your dog to the person~if he makes a move quickly take him out the room,wait till he calms down for a minute and re-enter. Doing this process enough times will get him used to each individual person. Once he is right there next to them and they can pet him, praise him and you may let the other person give him a treat. Hope this helps!


• Hi there,
  
  What you could try is watch some videos on Youtube of the series "It's me or the dog" and try and get tips from it....
  Once I saw the woman make a sharp shout noise, and surprisingly the dog stopped....
  
  Give it a shot....
  
  Good luck!


• Try a remote trainer. It has a device you press that gives the dog a shock when it misbehaves.


• take to petsmart 6 weeks for $110
  training, exercise, socialzation will help
  professional trainer to teach you have to train will do wonders if you work at it


• I would not start with a shock collar. You just got this pup yesterday and he is a pup. What you need to do is when someone comes in the room tell them to call the pup's name so as not to startle him, if he growls tell him no in a stern voice. He needs some time to get used to who belongs and who doesn't. Try not to keep him from the other members of the family so he can get used to them and know they belong and it wouldn't hurt if they played with him. I do not know what a prof. trainer would cost to come to your house. I suggest you start training and socializing him yourself. Also taking him to a puppy class would be good for him to get used to other people and dogs and the both of you to learn some things. Just give the pup some time for gosh sakes.


• I'm glad you are looking for some dog training help, because this is what the dog really needs. For the dog to learn to do as he is told, including not showing aggression towards other people, he needs to learn to follow your instructions. Although a few people have suggested a shock collar instead, that can actually make the issue worst. If you zap the dog at the wrong time, the dog may think the people are attacking (causing the pain) and then the dog will become more aggressive. If the dog is in part acting out of fear, then the dog will become more fearful which can drive even more aggression. Below is a website which has some more information about dog aggression and about becoming your dog's leader.

Dog Health Questions: My newfoundland dog too slow and easygoing to respond for anything?

i have a newfoundland dog who is about 2 years old. The problem is that he acts and behaves as if he is a 15 year old who 's too old to be active and playful for anything. Often he is extremely slow to respond to commands, even though he understands the commands since he went to dog training school.

if i take him for a walk, he doesn't feel like walking and would stand at 1 place smelling surfaces. I tried to play fetch and ball with him, but he lacked any motivation or desire to catch the ball. He simply is not interested in anything at all, and all he does is just sit at one place quietly.

I used to have a german sheperd who lived for 15 years, and he was so active, playful and energetic all the time. He would run to fetch ball and jump and often i had to pull with him leash because he walked so fast.

Compared to my previous german sheperd, the newfoundland is just too lazy and lethargic.

I am afraid with such laziness my newfie will become obese. what to do?

The Basic Commands of Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
They are supposed to be active dogs, but each of them have thier own unique personality. Maybe he has a thyroid condition, sometimes dogs with thyroid problems are alot less active and if he becomes obese then you will have more difficulties. Wait till his next vet appointment and ask them if they could do a thyroid test on him, just a suggestion. Good luck.

• your dog will not become obese unless you over feed him.
  newfies are not Frisbee dogs...they do however LOVE the water.
  their pace is slow and steady.
  research your breed.


• jump into a river and pretend you are drowning. His instincts should take over and he will go rescue you. They are water dogs, they love to swim right?
  
  Or...Do you want to trade dogs? I have an Italian Greyhound that sounds like he would be a perfect match for you. I prefer the easy going dogs myself.


• i hate to say it, but you might want to go to the vet. have them take a look to make sure he is ok, and if u are almost sure he isn't sick, just take him anyways so you can be sure. Best senaro, he has a flu or something that he will soon get over so he can be energetic again. And as wierd as it sounds, its better that something is wrong with him so he can get rid of it and be better again. hope it helps :)

Dog Health Questions: Good Puppy Training Book?

Does anyone know a good puppy/dog training book?

All About The American School Of Dog Training

Recommended Answer:
I loved Cesar Millan's first book Cesar's Way. It more than what his show talks about because the book is about looking at dogs with the bigger picture. His show targets dogs with certain issues so it doesn't cover all of the details.
I feel that if you have a better understanding of how a dog thinks then any training that you do will be more effective. It's about the person thinking more like a dog rather than trying to get a dog to think like a human. That is what he means when he says "work with Mother nature, not against her". And I love working with my dogs and they really love training!!
I learned more about ** understanding** my dogs from his book than I did from puppy classes. Then we all just got better and better (I have 3 Cocker Spaniels).

Dog Health Questions: Does anyone know of place that does private dog obedience training in Gainesville, TX?

I have a 6 month old puppy that I can't break of some very annoying habits, despite having tried many things.
I'd like to try private lessons.
If public/group lessons are the only option, I could go for that. She needs socialization as well, but I think she would freak out too much at public lessons. This is the kind of dog that if she even sees an object that has another animals scent on it, she will choke herself (on the leash), and squells and whines (very loudly and endlessly) to get to it. For example I've tried introducing her to someone. After an hour of being in the prescence of the other person, she calmed down a little but still broke into fits of squelling and whining shrilly, all because I wouldn't let her run over and bite, scratch, and jump all over the person.

We only have one shelter, Noah's Ark, and I do not believe it offers lessons of any sort. Nor is there a Petco or Petsmart or anything of the sort within 50 minutes of here.

Anyway, sorry for the long explantion. With all this said, does anyone know of a place or qualified person who offers private dog training in Gainesville? If not what group training is available? Also if you know the prices that would be helpful too.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Dog Health Questions: Agility dog training for kids?

Hi I am a kid who is interested in training my puppy in agility. Is there any training classes in Washington? Hopefully near the Tri-cities.

Dog Training Explained

Recommended Answer:
Agility is an extremely fun sport for you and your dog. It's all about having fun, and eventually you will be able to enter trials and earn your dog titles.

I am assuming you are talking about Washington state - hopefully I am right. Here is a start. Adding your city to the search bar will give you a better search, but here is a list. If there are none near you, try typing in dog training centers instead of agility training - many will have agility training too.

Dog Training Tip - Leash-Collar Training

• get a real fence with a gate. or take him out a different way.


• Don't walk her that way.
  
  You taught her not to cross that line; don't screw it up. Walk around the fence.


• Don't taker her across the fence. 58 acres is alot of property. Why do you need to leave it? You have no choice here. You WANT your dog to be afraid to go on the highway...that's why you got the fence. Can't have it both ways.


• stop bein a retard,how can you teach it something then expect it to do what you told it not to. you shouldnt own a dog you big stinky moo head


• Ok, now stop and think about this a minute. Pretend you're the one with the collar on your neck that will send the sensation of a gazzillion pins & needles into your neck if you should walk the wrong way. Wouldn't you be scared, too?
  
  You've trained your dog to be terrified of that viciously horrible sensation. You can't take that back.
  
  Now, maybe you didn't properly adjust your dog to the 'fence' -- you didn't take the time to let her know exactly where she'd experience the excruciating, sudden pain. So, maybe now she's scared to wander anywhere, since she doesn't know just where she'll get zapped. In that case, contact your electric fence people, and ask for the layout of the fence (wear the 'collar' around your own wrist, to check it out, before you subject your dog to it), and also ask for training guidelines.
  
  Or, like someone else said: You've got 58 acres, so just walk in a different direction.


• yeah, i've the same problem as you do,
  but since i get dog personal trainer,
  i don't have any problem again with that.

Dog Training - Secrets For Training Your Dog

You should find a good private trainer. A lot of people recommend Petsmart/Petco, but I used to work at a Petsmart and did some training (as an assistant). I wasn't impressed at all. The private trainer I went to worked wonders on my GSD. A private trainer can also help you with the problems in your home.

Therapy Dog Training - What Are the Various Methods of Obedience Training For Dogs?

• You can be just a good a trainer as anybody. If she knows what come means and refuses to come. Put a long leash and collar on her, call her, if she doesn't come give her a leash correction, call her again but make her come this time ie pull her to you. Do this until she realizes she must come, she must obey, every time, even if she doesn't want to. Don't be mean, don't yell, be calm and assertive. A good leash correction fixes every problem. As far as chewing stuff, you probably wouldn't have the leash on her at that time, so use your hand, use a firm touch and say "NO" in a firm voice. Make her leave the immediate area, do it every time, be consistent.


• You have to make a dog WANT to come.
  Always give a treat when the dog comes .
  Never scold your puppy when you have called her to you.
  My dogs will do anything for pieces of dried tripe (It smells really foul but they love it)
  Make coming to you a game.
  
  Use Citronella on the furniture legs and skirting boards - she will stop eating them really quickly. It smells nice but tastes awful to dogs.Citronella is cheaper if you buy it at a health food shop. Just a couple of drops on a cloth or tissue are enough.
  If you want a good trainer ask your vet or breeder. Do not rely on newspaper ads.Your vet knows best .

Is training a dog a science? There are certain sets of rules and formulas to be applied, which a person learns from reading books? Or you need no education or training to teach dog good behavior? dog training is now an industry and many professional dog trainers exist. So it like science or engineering?

Science...not sure, but, it is a GIFT for the few of us who have it naturally.
Another old account being used after a long time...makes one wonder!!!

Why it's Important For New Dog Owners to Take Dog Training Seriously

• I think it is part science. To be an effective trainer you have to understand the dog and how he learns. The behaviour side is the science. Just as you will not be an effective trainer without knowing behaviour, you will not be an effective behaviourist without the skill of being a trainer.


• Dog training is both an art and a science. There is a lot of information out there that can really help people, based on science- learning theory, ethology, etc but being able to apply it well is also an art.


• No. It is VERY simple! You MUST use repetition. It also helps if you learn canine pack behavior. All this information is available online or library books.


• No.
  
  It is more a combo of intuition, common sense.

Dog Training Advice For Training Your Best Friend

Recommended Answer:
All the petsmarts in my area have turned to petcos, so I think they're the same company. I'm going to the first puppy training class tonight, my dogs breed type needs the training, socialization and stimulation, otherwise I would have just used a good training book and done the exercises myself. If your dog is that type too that needs this (mine's a jack russell terrier haha) you might want to invest in this too. If you don't like the trainer's methods, you can always get a full refund. But you have to register in advance for the classes because they only allow so many pups.
They also guarentee your dogs training for a lifetime or money back. They said I will be able to walk my dog without a leash (in most situations) for life.
The 8 classes where I'm going are $95 and 1 hr long.

*****UPDATE****
Had the training class, there were 6 other puppies there ranging from 12 weeks to 7 months. It will be hard with the two 12 week puppies, not because they misbehave but they just can't learn the same so young. Anyway, basically we met in a room and the puppies socialized. There was a blue pit bull, very beautiful who my dog bonded with maybe only because the 12 months bonded with themselves and none of the other pups were as friendly.
While the puppies socialized the trainer introduced herself, said she owns 10 dogs, told us a little about vaccine importance and stuff we knew, said she could help us out if we wanted to show our dogs or do agility, then we went around the room introducing ourselves and saying the major things we hope to accomplish at the classes. Most people said to stop biting, but..they are puppies after all..well anyway, we learned the sit command and the "look at me" command.. Next week we'll be in the back warehouse doing things with leash walking. So far, my thoughts are "well, this is nothing I couldn't teach myself SO FAR..but my puppy enjoys the socializing and was happy, and I don't know how to teach walking without a leash so I'll stick with it." They had older dog class after the puppies.
Hope that summary helped..

Secrets to Dog Training to Stop Your Dog's Behavior Problems

• No, these are not serious training classes. Look for a good trainer in your area and go that route instead.


• I am in the process of PetSmart puppy training. Class is ending next week and I do plan on doing the next placement class. I love it as does my dog. We learned a lot and she got great socialization out of it. I don't know anything about the Petco classes. Training is a process that you have to always do with your dog. I highly recommend the classes. The cost is fair too.


• I truly believe the training method and location is second to the trainer themselves.
  
  When I got my first pug about five years ago, I took her to Pet Smart for the puppy class. Unfortunately, two weeks into the class, my pug puppy broke her foot which had to be put into a cast for about six weeks. The trainer was a really nice, and allowed us to start classes in the beginner section after the cast came off. The trainer herself was very friendly and clear in her directions. What I liked the best about the class however, was at the last 10 minutes of each class was spent with the dogs off leash in the training area playing with each other under professional supervision. At the beginning of the classes my pug was quite fearful of other dogs but by the end she was playing with everybody. The socialization was just as important as the commands she learned. To this day, she is still the most friendly of our dogs. Also, she has remembered. Almost all of the commands that she learned during her beginner's class.
  
  When we got our German shepherd puppy last year, we knew immediately that we would have to take her in for training. The trainer was not the same at the original Pet Smart store, but we were confident in the methods. This experience, however, was terrible. The trainer was awful. She would spend most of the class reviewing what was gone over in the previous class, and would only address new material, very briefly in the last 10 minutes of class. Also, due to insurance constraints, we unleashed supervised play that I've had been such a fan of during the original classes has been discontinued. My German Shepherd puppy really did not learn anything from this trainer.
  
  My husband and I were at a different Pet Smart in January and met the trainer at that store. We told her about our experiences with the trainer at the other store and how disappointed we were. She was extremely sympathetic and explained her methods for training. First, she does not believe in automatically graduating a dog at the end of the class. She does believe that different dogs learn different rates and she believes that a dog should not graduate until they have learned the concepts. So, to that end, she has dogs repeat classes until they understand and have the concepts down. But, only the first round of classes is paid for. As long as the owners are willing to put in the time, she will not ask them to put in more money. Now, some people may say that part of the job of the trainer is to make sure that the dogs learn the commands in one series of classes and if the dog doesn't, then it is the fault of the trainer. I disagree with that.
  
  We started our German Shepherd puppy in the beginner class and it was wonderful. The trainer was very patient but would tolerate no excuses, if we slacked off in reinforcing the lessons. She would say there is only so much she can do in a one-hour session once a week, and if we were not willing to put in the time to reinforce the lessons at home, we might as well just take our money back and stay home.
  
  Now, some people don't like this method, which brings me to the point of this answer. You really need to have a chemistry with the trainer in order for the training to work. Go see a couple of classes before you sign up for them. See what methods the trainer uses. See how the trainer asked with the dogs and with the owners. Then decide for yourself whether you agree with what they are doing or not.
  
  Always remember, however, that there is no miracle cure for bad behavior. It took a long time to develop the bad habits, and it will take a long time and a lot of patience to make them go away.
  
  Whatever you decide, good luck with your training!


• I took my parents' dog to Petco for training about 8 years ago and, looking back, I thought their training methods were unnecesarily rough (a lot of yanking on the leash, jerking the dog into place, etc). But I had never trained a dog before so I didn't really know any better.
  
  I went back to Petco a few years ago, this time with my own dog, and the difference in training methods was night and day. I don't know if the company changed their doggy curriculum or if the trainer simnply had her own ideas and beliefs, but the dog responded better and I felt like a nicer person.
  
  Since then I've done a lot of reading. I've read a lot of training books by different authors and tried different techniques on the three dogs I currently have at home. The methods you use should depend on how YOU as a person feel about carrying them out, and also on the personality of your DOG.
  
  The bottom line, in my opinion, is that the more you know, the more you've got in your bag of tricks! ANY training class is going to be helpful, and it's good for your dog to interact with other dogs in the class. And it's important to reinforce what you've learned, every day, at home.
  
  I know my answer is long, but I hope it helps :)


• no way they charge doubel of all teh other trainers in my area. from what I've seen I don't care for their training methods either.


• The PetSmart training classes here are wonderful. I think it all depends on the training working there, but it's really good, especially for the price. Here, it's 8 1hr sessions for $100


• No mater where you go - Go to a class ( alone ) and I'm telling you , you will just know!
  Kinda like dating. You know from just 1 date if it's right.
  Watch the instructor , and his knowledge, manerisim, personality ect ......
  It will take 15 mins. max !!!


• No, and I never will. If you want to persue good training, with someone experienced, then contact your local training club, obedience club, agility club (yes, the can refer to good obedience instructors, too) and get a referral from them.
  
  You will likely find that these trainers will be MUCH LESS expensive than the typical pet supply store classes and they will have so much more experience. Example: Our PetSmart charges $100+ for a class of 6 weeks and they are not very experienced trainers by any means. My trainer is only $50 for a 7 week course and has dogs with UDX titles, agility titles, conformation wins and 25+ years experience in training, showing and breeding.


• I haven't because I haven't heard any good things about their classes. I found other obedience schools to be a better fit & value for the money.


• My pup is currently in her 3rd training class at PetSmart (advanced).
  
  It is very affordable (slightly over $100 for an 8 week class) and the trainer is great. On the other hand, the other trainer there is not very good, so the quality of the class really depends on the trainer.
  
  I suggest going to your local PetSmart or PetCo while I training class is going on and see how the trainer interacts with the dogs. That way, you will be able to see if the trainer will be a good fit for you and your dog.
