what? thats what a leash is for? no...that is what training is for! okay, i'm out. we aren't even on the same planet anymore.

i'd just like to add something before i go. (taking my boxing gloves off) if you only need your dog to listen 97% of the time then that is fine with me. i however want more. i dont want my dog sitting at home alone all day while i go run errands, go jogging, go to cookouts, etc. i am training...

i was explaining why milan states that you shouldn't try his methods at home. its because you need to be show the proper way of doing things.

my dogs listen because they love and respect me as their owner.

the world is full of dangerous situations. just last week i was driving quite a distance with my dogs in the car. i had to pull over to let one of my dogs (who violently needed to go poo) out on the side of the road. i had been driving for quite sometime to find a rest stop with no luck. so, i...

tight fitting shirts? do you get them wet and make them dance around on the bar? lol.... sorry trying to add a litlte humor to it all.

what we do in training needs to be taught to the handler. it's most important to train the human over anything else. good training means consistancy. to physically correct a dog does not cause a dog to fight or flight. i know, i do the training and i've seen hundreds of dogs graduate. sure, if...

i encourage you all to investigate first hand at what we do before you call it "torture" or "abuse".

what we do is not abuse and we do not beat our dogs. this is training. i see you all have closed your ears and your minds. good enough. good night.

back at cha!

sigh..... okay let me try explaining this again because this is a very important aspect of our training. when a dog is in begining classes we do not use a stave (some dogs never see one). we DO pet and praise when our dog does complete a command as given every time. also, dogs need to know if...

i could care less what the masses do. i know what works for me, my dogs, and the people that are in my club. my dog is my proof.

i also have a malinois who is very sensitive to corrections so she just gets vocal corrections and rarely anything physical. there is an art to knowing when to do what and that is what martin is such a master at teaching. its not the dogs that need most of the training it is the handlers.

thank you melissa cato. it was getting frustrating thinking that everyone had already made up their minds and closed their ears on our method. i'm not asking anyone to agree with what i do but i want to make it clear that no animal is being beaten.

thank god we live in a society where we have the decision to choose.

i too would not like to see a dog hit with a stick. when i train my dog i am always petting and praising!

"others". are we in high school? i joined because this seemed to be an community of fellow dog lovers with the same passion as me. (differnt views on training or not) you aren't being so welcoming.

oh i'm not going anywhere!

not police work but my dog is a working security dog and it is very important that my dog listens to his commands under all weather elements, gun fire, sirens, other dogs, cars, people, etc.

not all dogs have a stave used on them and certainly not a begining dog. also, our dogs are all placed with elements of distractions ACCORDING TO THE LEVEL OF THE DOG. see, the very basis of our training is not understood. heck, i'd be mad too if i thought that was the case.
