Usually anywhere that my dogs are with me. People are impressed with their training, sometimes ask training advice. Sometimes they just start talking about dogs, and the conversation actually flows "actually..." and educate them on where they are going wrong or just tell them something they...

Lol! No kidding. I'd love to see that.

I can't find it

They are pushy for good reason. The majority of people AREN'T responsible, and they are doing their best to encourage people to do the right thing with common sense and logical reasons. As a receptionist at a veterinary clinic, when people call asking about breeding, I encourage them to spay and...

I work at a shelter, so whenever I see a 'wanted' ad, if it matches one of the dogs in my shelter I give them a quick email with a picture and contact info. There are a lot of bad ads, but the site can be extremely useful.

Puppy classes are in 4 week sessions. Beginners obedience is a 6 week session. If I were to change the class to not bringing the dog on the first night, Id likely extend it to 6 weeks.

For my puppy classes, puppies are brought to the first class, because as Dr2Little already stated, one week can make a huge difference. For my beginners, right now I'm allowing them to bring their dog. I think I like it this way, but have not yet had the first class without dogs yet to...

Certain characteristics such as cat/dog friendly, good with children, age, breed, grooming, energy levels, and other personality traits are GOOD things to be picky about. And even some training issues such as offleash ability and barking are good to be picky about as well, however you must...

I'm mostly seeing a little girl that is being taught way too young to be rough with dogs. Sad :( Throughout the video I see a lot of tight leash on the prong, a lot of jerking(but she's too little now to really make a dent, but one day she may be), and at least twice in the video where she fully...

Not to mention, tug at THEIR level. Don't be yanking the dog's head and neck around from up above. YOU, the human, get down to their level and mimic tugging the way your dog would tug with another dog.

Do you have to keep track/log of all those hours spent training in order to become CPDT certified?
