whatever you say.

if a choke collar is being used as designed, the dog is most definetly choking. they were designed to remove the air by strangulation. when you issue a correction you pullup on the leash and remove the ability for the dog to breathe. it gives the dog something to think about why all of a sudden...

LOL. your catching on to that are you?:p

thanks! thats something for me to work on.

yeah thats cool. but when did i say that it was a huge waste of money? i may have, but i dont remember saying that here. if i said that here, its because i am a product of my clients complaints about failed classes that they now have to spend double to train their dog. i never took my dog to a...

hi all in an effort to educate myself, i would like to pose a question to the trainers here that do not use the prong collar. i am being sincere and genuine when i say that i truly would love to hear your advice. whenever i am training a dog that pulls excessivley on walks, i have found...

hold up though. i never said that in-home training was the END of training. it is only the beginning. you BETTER generalize that training everywhere if you expect it to work in the face of distractions in the park. again, my goal is to spend more time with the owners and private training...

im not sure i understand what you are asking? i assume you are asking why i do not take the food bowl away from my dog? i do not take the food bowl away because IMO i gave it to the dog and it is his food once i let him have it. i beleive taking the bowl away from a dog THAT ALREADY HAS FOOD...

oh absolutley! that is a horrible reason to put a dog down. i agree 100% with everything you said. you are 100% right. i was talking about the leave it command in response to someones post about what if the dog takes a pill or something he shouldnt take. in this case, this is the point of...

hi melanie yes, egos do interfere and i am only human. while i try my best and always improve, it does happen from time to time. to be honest, my opinion of classes has been backed by over 10 years of having people call me after classes have failed them. i do agree that a good trainer...

taking a food bowl away that we give them and taking a pill or bug or anything that they took is way different. besides, thats why we train the leave it command.

IMO..... taking food from a dog is a bad idea and only teaches them that, in fact, they should guard their food because we will take it away! once you give food to a dog thats it. it is now the dogs food. some things that have helped me in the past... 1) use your hands to scoop the food...

HI! i know i am not the one you are talking to but id like to take a minute with this. i am applying to IACP soon, and i look forward to being a member. i dont allow myself to be classified and stuck in a drawer and labeled. i think that in the last day or so here, there is a LOT of good...

Hi ya! dont be confused by the ego's at play here. listen to doberluv. that is very accurate and good sound advice. sorry for us veering off course! goodluck with your puppy!

Im not terribly concerned. im not lying or doing any false advertising. we dont do classes and i am not stating we have any available. im asking people to call for more details.
