Welcome To #1 Website Dedicated To
Dog Training Tips And Techniques!
We have decided to put together this dog training website in order to help you train your dogs like true professionals, and we will show you how to raise them, feed them, and care for them in the best possible way.
We have enlisted the help of seasonal trainers, who have agreed to share with all of us their secret and most successful techniques and tips, and we encourage you, our readers, to post your own training methods and experiences as well. The website will touch on great many topics such as puppy training and teething, tricks, reward and punishment, aggression, communication, and even specialized training.
We all love our pets and want to care for them and teach them how to behave properly without using any violent methods, but there are far many situations, where you and your dog can find yourselves into and where you do not know how your dog will react. There are certain behaviors that you would want to avoid during walks, when guests are visiting, when your dog meets other dogs, and when your kids are around.
Watching some of the great reality shows, where a professional dog trainer achieves great results in a matter of minutes might be fascinating, but the truth is that in order to learn how to train a dog, you need to put in a lot of hard work and persistence. Dog training is not a once off event, but has to be done on daily basis, and your dog is not the only one that has to learn new tricks – you need to know the difference between punishment and discipline and you need to understand canine aggression in order to learn how to control it.
Feel free to post a comment and tell us more about your dogs, when and how you started training them, the hurdles that you had to overcome, and the techniques that have given you the best results.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them too since this is the best place to get a free advice from professional and amateur trainers, who would share their first-hand experiences with us.
Both can SIT & DOWN. But neither want to STAY. According to the basic obedience class we’re attending, I should have them on a leash when in the house & trying new tricks. I should also try this when we are near a favorite spot or blanket AND I should be training them separately. I’ve [...]

She’s amazing. I really learned a lot. The first class was intro to the clicker, and the second was clicker training for puppies. What particularly stood out, was that every behavior has a consequence, and how enforcing these consequences, it works way better than mere collar corrections would in changing behavior. It’s because ultimately, the [...]

An experience that was made possible only with good, solid manners training! On Saturday, I brought my 1 1/2 year old Airedale Terrier, Sheenah, with me to our church’s fellowship/dinner. My husband is the pastor and Sheenah is a certified therapy dog. I tied on a bright red bandana and then tied her on a [...]

I searched the archives & didn’t think I found a thread that was quite on-point. I hope our situation is not too unusual, but I fear we may need to employ an animal behaviorist at some point to address this problem. In 2/00 we adopted a sweet, older collie/shepherd mix who had been rescued by [...]
