Here’s a good piece of advice: check out a REAL dog training guide instead –> tinyurl . com / ycjomhz
Yes fixing a dog is like fixing a car, you follow these instructions to the letter everything will be great? You don’t train a dog you learn how to be a dog owner and think like a dog. Once you get the part about thinking like a dog you understand why things work and do not work. Then you can move on to conditioning and rewarding the good behavior. You redirect inappropriate behavior and reward the good stuff. There are merits to the crap in this video but not much.
One must realize that all “experts” have good points and bad points. It is necessary to take all and glean the information/training that will help you be a better dog trainer.
Disappointed in Dunbar for having a hand in removing Cesar’s show from animals planet over jealousy of the whispers success and his lack of.
I am so excited that you are pursuing an interest in this ever growing field! I am having such a great time learning! Dog training is all about experience. I started as a dog walker and now I am slowly working my way up. Dare I use the phrase “street cred”? lol. Life is so much more fun with animals, good for you for wanting to help them!=)
Aw ahaha, well both grow up to be ur big kids. oh yeah see that’s what I want, like on the job training! I don’t care about money yet, I’d like to find something that teaches more to the point. And may be more one on one. (there’s not even any tutors at our campus)
No, I am an old lady (23) hahaha. Just recently started moving towards the degree and getting my APDT certification. A local trainer is certified and is helping me along. Job shadowing is a great way to get some insight into the job (menial paperwork, arrrg!) and watching obedience classes is helpful too! I am having so much fun learning! I’ll have to break soon because our first baby is coming in May. Dogs or baby…? hmmm…;-)
Oh, you’re a teen too? I thought u were already past all this, darn. lol
For being a dog trainer, look into becoming certified by the APDT. It takes a LOT of time and experience under your belt for the certification, and you need to pass a 250 question exam. It is worth it though if training is what you want to do=)
Yes! There are animal behavior degrees, it is a form of psychology. Look into programs offered at different colleges. I am having a hard time finding a program in my state. Arg!
Hey um, sounds interesting. Hey is there a college major in that? I’m not interested in much at college, except ones that lead to a nature or animal job.
Love how he acknowledges that there are more than one way to train a dog and that the be all and end of all training is the effectiveness of owners in following through.
he is kind of saying just fix the problem and dont worry about why the problem is starting
gfff
I see what you mean. I want to be a trainer myself but I know that there will be times when they will not listen, and not be happy when you inform them that they are doing it wrong and advise how to do it right.
Great video, as a trainer it is SO irritating to work with people who hire you, then don’t want to listen to you, then expect you to train their dog to be perfect in one hour. I enjoy watching the training shows on animal planet and NatGeo in my spare time, but I’ve seriously had owners say things like “well (insert famous trainer name here) fixed a dog like mine in one episode on their show…” People get dog’s and don’t realize it takes time to train them.
That was a really great speach,it had slot of good points.
Also, try to get in touch with owners of stable, slighty dominant, social, secure dogs. You definitely want to practice with dogs like that. I think she doesnt know how to play anymore, cause of traumatic expirience. She should get lots of practice with stable social dogs to show her not allz dogs are bad. She should learn to ignore dogs when she’s on leash, and play with them of leash. Might take weeks or months before it starts to show effect thow. Dont give up.
Oke, i saw this kind of behaviour before with other dogs. It’s likely your dog had a bad expirience (probably with your trainer, who’s incompetent to teach). Keep rewarding good behaviour as i told. But you really have to ‘read’ your dogs bodylanguage. If she’s not actively showing wrong behaviour but only with bodylanguage, you dont want to reward that either. She really has to show good behaviour for the reward.
when she is offleash,she charges at other dogs and kind of scares them,but she puts her front paws down in a playing mood,but she runs way to fast up to other dogs
Its better to visit a good dogforum to ask questions. Or buy some books about raising dogs and training dogs. But you should be carefull with that too, cause there are still lots of people trying to teach you the wrong way. Books about positive training methodes works the best. Its based on rewarding instead of punishment. 9 out of 10 times the dog gets agressive cause he’s scared or insecure. Did my tip helped your dog so far? And how does your dog react to other dogs when he’s of leash?
Ofcourse! But if your puppy keeps barking for no reason after enough play and exercise you should ignore it. Sometimes they try to test you or try to get your attention for the simple reason the puppy wants to. It really depends on the situation. Stuffed kongs are perfect to keep them quiet indeed.
I had my gsd pup for 3 weeks with a professionell trainer,qualified and certified,but the outcome was really bad,so what can it hurt to ask others for advice,thanks to the trainer,my dog is now agressive towards other dogs
Why are you asking for dog training advice from people you don’t even know? You have no way of knowing if someone is giving good advice or bad. Before I hired a dog trainer to teach me how to teach my dog, I spent time researching the credentials, experience, and training philosophies of several trainers. My dog is too important to be entrusted to just anyone.
