OK so read about this on another blog and found the story to be a little one sided... I did some more research and found this news report and felt is was a little bit fairer in its reporting. Obviously jerking a dog by the leash is not a good way to train, period! And since my training career started with Petsmart (ending up as an Area Trainer) many years ago I know both companies are positive in their approaches to dog training but approaches are only as good as the trainers that use them....Dog tries to catch a baseball through the TV.

OK so watch this video.... Dog tries to catch a baseball through the TV. [VIDEO] Now a repost of a very useful article.... Sorry the video made me think of this post... And Giggle! Have you ever wished your dog could say please? Wouldnt this be an awesome way for our dogs to show their manners? Imagine having a command that required your dog not only to ask for something but also to show the proper energy level when asking, before receiving permission to get or do something! Sit is...Leave it VS. Wait

OK so I found this pic in my "Funny Pics" File and it reminded me of my issues with the difference between the commands WAIT and LEAVE IT... Many trainers use the commands interchangeably, but I think there is a huge difference... So Along with this really cute pic, is a repost of my thoughts on the subject! Enjoy.... Mike Ironicthat the pic uses the word STAY which is a totally different ball game :-) So is there really a differencebetween Leave It and Wait? You better believe there...

I did a trade show this weekend and talked to a ton of folksover the three days! Apparently folks enjoy the opportunity to pick the brainof a dog trainer when given the chance You know what I learned over the threedays? People are just plain unprepared to own a dog Now dont get mad, I dontmean that as an insult but rather a way to show the difference between folkswho do research before getting a dog and are proactive and those who on a whimadopt or buy a dog and are forced to be reactive to...5 Things You Didn’t Know About Dog Poop | Dogster

Our new book, Forever Home... Dog Training 101 & How to be a better shelter volunteer is done!!!!!

The new book is done and ready for purchase at Amazon.com! Here is a brief description.... Writing this book has been a challenge and a pleasure all at the same time. As I read and edit it (for what seems the 150th time), I realize it is way more than a book on how to be a great shelter volunteer. It is really a book about dogs, dog training and the ability to relate to your dog without malice, over the top control or even dominance. I am very proud of the...
