How To Choose Perfect Dog Treats For Training Class?

Pet Library Editor — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 18:22:41 +0000

I’ve enrolled my dog (6 year old mixed breed) in training classes at Petsmart. I need to know which treats to bring though. They just told us to bring treats, but didn’t give any recomendations. He likes soft treats, but I’m looking for something extra special that he will want to work for. They have to be small so he can eat them quickly too. Any suggestions?

Is Their Big Money To Be Made For My Daughter In Dog Training Staring With Puppy Class?

Pet Library Editor — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 06:22:47 +0000

Not really. Not unless she has been very successful in training and trialing dogs in obedience or agility or something prior to starting the classes and has a large toolbox of training techniques at her disposal to help her help train other people to train their dogs. I held training classes for years – not much money in it and did it primarily to support my obedience and breed club but even so, it was marginal at making money. It is not a bad activity for her but if she is just wanting to go to some dog trainer school and expects to come out and make a living at training, even puppy level classes, she needs to rethink that. Even training puppies you need to have a huge clue as to what you are doing — people are the ones needing the training and they are pretty difficult at times since the vast majority aren’t the brightest and they really don’t want to expend much energy and time training so they will blame her for their inadequacies. Most won’t do anything more than the training time that is offered at class and then about half or more of them will drop away quickly since they aren’t doing home training and their dogs and they will fall behind — I had a high percentage of stayers but it was because I was pretty selective as to who I accepted and it was imparative that they do their homework and they understood this was not an optional thing… but that was pulling from a huge amount of applicants so I could ‘afford’ to be selective. The only one making money at dog training is that dog whisperer guy and that isn’t because he is training dogs but because he has a TV show and people are gullible enough to fall for that! hahaha If she gets her own TV show then she should do okay! I am not really trying to discourage her but I have seen hundreds, many hundreds of people go to dog training schools and not actually be capable of training a dog much less training someone else to train their dog. It isn’t difficult – not brain surgery or rocket science but it does take more than going to one of those schools — years of successful training and trialing before considering teaching others. Oh, and EVEN with all that, there is no ‘big money’ in dog training!

Is A Dog Training Class A Good Option Here?

Pet Library Editor — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 18:22:48 +0000

I have a male dog who is a mix between a brussels griffon and a mini poodle. I have tried several methods of walking him. I have tried a harness, without a harness, stopping and then once he stops moving going (he knows to stop, but starts to pull again.), keeping him at arms length, giving him treats when he walks nice, praising him. He still pulls and once on his leash will not listen to anything for the life of him.
Also, he listen to me very welll, but he doesn’t listen to anyone else. Sometimes he will go to sit on or lay by my husband and when he goes to move the dog will growl and snap at him. He snapped at my family and friends too. He attacks the cat when he tries to get close to me. I then stand up, say NO and point so he knows to go into his kennel, which he does, but he only listens to me. We are trying to start a family and there is no way that he is going to snap at a baby. Would taking him to classes be a good idea? Generally how much are classes also. Thank you.

Dog Training Class Requiring “training Collar” – What Do You Think?

Pet Library Editor — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:24:36 +0000

They haven’t met my dog, and didn’t specify what kind of training collar was required. My dog is rather sensitive to corrections, except on-leash ones.
