WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE #1 REASON FOR DOGS
BEING DESTROYED?
If you guessed parvo, distemper, rabies, WRONG. If you guessed being
hit by cars, WRONG. There are more dogs killed every year by
euthanasia, by the owners. the number 1 reason for this, the owner
could not control their dog.
Its a shame that the dog has to sacrifice its life
because the owner couldn't take the time and energy to make him a good
canine citizen. TRAINING CREATES A HAPPY OWNER AND PET THAT IS A
PLEASURE TO LIVE WITH.
If you believe in clicker training and food reward training, this
site is NOT for you......
Dr. Ian Dunbar suggests that most owners don't know how to praise
their dogs enough! In order to get their dog to work, therefore he
advocates food as a reward.
I disagree with his premise. A well qualified Instructor / trainer
can and should be able to show the student how to motivate their dog,
using other methods.
Be forewarned, the words Positive Reinforcement, Luring, and
Operant Conditioning are code words for bribing with food.
After the first lesson your dog should heel, sit, and down on command.
Food bribery creates aggression!!!!
Even a 14 year old dog can still learn to
have fun with its owner.
