"This Dog Training Book SAVED our dog. And I mean: Literally SAVED her!"
(Feedback From a Current Student of DogProblems.com)

Dear Adam/Dog Problems.com,

I can't tell you how much your book "Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer" and website SAVED our dog. I mean, literally SAVED her. Chloe is an adopted shelter dog of mixed breed. We think she has some Chow, Golden Retriever, and some sort of herding breed in her. We adopted her in July of 2007 and were told her age to be somewhere between 2 and 3 years old. The first year she lived with us, she was an angel. We took her everywhere with us and she was my running partner 5 or 6 days per week. We crate her when we are not home but she doesn't seem to mind. She is a fantastic runner and did long runs (I am a marathon runner) up to 15 miles with me.

We noticed behavior changes little by little but didn't put it all
together until nearly a year and a half later. She showed signs of
aggression towards strangers and became so unpredictable we were
unable to take her anywhere with us. She would go after people on
bikes, skateboards, or just walkers or other runners. She began to
show signs of aggression towards me in our home when I tried to put
her in her crate (or pull her off the bed) and she didn't want to go.

At my wit's end, I called several local resources (and some not so
local). I called the shelter hotline, that guaranteed behavioral
help. They would not deal with any aggression issues. I called pet
behavior specialists who wanted $125.00 per hour. I got in contact
with "America's Dog Whisperer" who GUARANTEED "curing" her for $500
in an afternoon. I am teacher and my husband is in medical school.
We did not have the funding to do ANY of this. We were fighting and
crying and finally decided to take her back to the shelter but feared
she would be euthanized (even though they were a no-kill shelter,
because she would've been labeled aggressive). Then we found your
website online.

After reading the whole book we learned that she thought she was in
charge of us! Her "aggressiveness" was just HER trying to correct US.
We began doggy boot camp and the nothing in life is free program right
away and saw immediate results. After hard work and 2 months of
following your training advice it is like I have a new dog. She
LISTENS to me!!! She comes when I call her, sits and goes down when
I ask her to and we even began running together again. The other
weekend we did a Sunday morning run on a crowded bike/running path
full of distractions (bikes, skateboards, runners, walkers, strollers).
She was an ANGEL. I was so happy I almost cried. She is not perfect,
but neither are we. We still have to correct her in the apartment at
times but nothing like before. I am still very cautious and aware of
EVERYONE around us while we are out running but she is making tons
of progress. I get compliments from neighbors about how well-behaved
she is! (I also notice a lot of neighborhood dogs and owners who
could really use your book!)

Most importantly, she is a happier dog. She is getting her exercise
(at least 2 miles of walking or running a day) and she is behaving
so much better at home. She knows her limits. We even had house guests
twice in the past month for a few days and she was an angel with them
too.

I think your book and website will (and probably already has) saved
a lot of dog lives. How many other people were like us and thought
we had an aggressive dog on our hands that couldn't be trained to
live in a busy apartment complex with lots of strangers/distractions?
How many people give their dogs back to the shelter where they are
deemed "lost causes"? We are thrilled with the results and the
training doesn't stop here. We have more work to do with her and
confident in her abilities.

Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts (especially Chloe's!)
I have attached 2 pictures of her. Yes she is on the couch for one
of them, but that was before we trained her not to be! The other
one is when she jumped in the bathtub one day.

Sincerely,

Julie & Keith Yimoyines

and our dog, Chloe

Afcberty Writes:

My family and I adopted a dog from a local well known rescue home in
Glasgow UK in July and all was well to start with. About 2 weeks
after getting him home we noticed that he was showing aggressive
behaviour towards other dogs whilst out on walks which my wife was
extremely embarrased about when walking my daughter to school.

After speaking to the vet and other so called local experts the
problem was not addressed and starting to spiral out of control to
the point that my wife refused to walk him.

I found this site and decided "What the heck, I've tried everything
else". After reading through "Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer" I
decided to take the dog out yesterday for a walk and try some of the
techniques on properly timed corrections etc and to my amazement
Kai responded almost immediately!!! It took two well timed corrections
and he was like a different dog.
I took him out today and deliberately walked him past 4 "strange"
dogs and he didn't even bat an eyelid and no corrections were
required!!!

Thank you Adam, you have just saved an otherwise lovely dog from
being returned to the rescue centre.

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

It sounds as if Kai was telling you in the only way he knew that he
needed a strong leader, which you've provided for him. Congratulations
to you both on your success. Has your wife started walking him
again yet?

Afcberty Replies:

Yes,

We are just back from a short stroll and she was very impressed, two
dogs and no reaction, the proof in the pudding will be on Monday
morning when she walks my daughter to school without me there but
hopefully she has got the message.

It was quite funny when he was corrected the first time, he looked
at me like "whoa!!, I wasn't expecting that!!"

It's such a good feeling to know that he's not the aggressive dog we
thought he was turning out to be. Onwards and upwards!!

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

He may try to test your wife when she walks him without you,
especially the first time, so make sure she's willing and able to
issue a motivational, well-timed correction if necessary.

SIT and STAY were hard enough; CUT and PASTE are out of the question.

Saliva-coated floppy disks refuse to work.

Three words: carpal paw syndrome.

Involuntary tail wagging is a dead give-away that he's browsing

The fire hydrant icon is simply too frustrating.

He can't help attacking the screen when he hears "You've Got Mail".

It's too messy to "mark" every Web site he visits.

Apparently, dogs don't naturally know how to swim. They just splash
around and doggie paddle. You need to actually teach them how to swim.

Free Dog Training Tips From The Discussion Forum :

Derek Writes:

Hello Everyone!

I have a 3yr old white Boxer who is the most wonderful dog I have
ever owned. I adopted her last year in July, bought "Secrets of a
Professional Dog Trainer" and in just 1 years time have been able
to train her from an extremely domminate dog who used to get to do
whatever she wanted, to being totally reliant upon me & my commands
and even have her walking off leash! Thank you Adam & everyone who
contributes to this forum!

One thing that I would like to be able to do with my dog is go
swimming & enjoy playing in the lake. Unfortunately, my dogs previous
owner had a pool, and my dog accidentally fell into the pool one
time when the plastic cover was on and she almost drowned. Since
then, she is terrified of water and will fight me everytime I try to
give her a bath, let alone try and go for a swim with her.

Is there any hope for getting my dog to enjoy swimming or is it a
lost cause?

Thanks for your help!

Derek

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

Does she like to play fetch? If so, maybe try going to the lake, or
even getting a kiddie wading pool and throwing her ball (or whatever)
near the lake/pool at first and then into it starting so that it just
goes into the shallow part (of the lake) so that she can get it
without having to actually swim for it. Gradually work your way into
the lake. And, if you use a kiddie pool at first your goal should
just be getting her comfortable wading through the pool and lying
down in it.

Another DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

Hi! I hope I can help you a little. I have a male boxer 17 months.
He also fell in the pool as a youngster. I also wanted to teach him
to swim. I had great success with getting a life jacket for him.
I found it at Foster's and Smith website.

It took a while to get him used to the water. First time in, with
jacket of course, I have him on a flat collar and leash and get him
close to the water let him touch his toes to it and huge praise then
release. I Did that about three times, touch toes to water and release
(still on leash). Then go play his favorite game, then done. Try this
2 or 3 times a day.

Next gradually on to the first step, same procedure. Then the next
step and the next progressing VERY very slowly. Making a huge big
deal each successful progression do it a couple of times then go
play her favorite game. It's taken me a couple of months.

I now, because his favorite ball is involved can get him to go out
to the deep end on his own, with no more than just a little coaxing.
It's on his terms to go in the water because he loves that ball so
much. He doesn't fetch it that's what we're still working on. But I
can put it in his mouth and he swims back true dog paddling (not
flailing about as in the beginning).

It took a while but he's come a long way. You have to get them to
that first step. She won't like it. But once she realizes "Hey that
wasn't so bad" she go to the next step. Take your time. Just like
any training, it's repeat repeat repeat. Best of luck.

Free Dog Training Tips From The Discussion Forum :

Mholder Writes:

I have a small dog that will bark if another dog is passing by the
house or the mailman comes. He barks a couple times and runs back
into the living room all proud of himself so I can't get to him to
correct him while he is doing it.

As summer approaches we leave our front door open with the security
screen locked, so now he has started barking out the front door while
we are sleeping. He doesn't bark for a long time and usually only
once or twice a night, but I want to correct it before it gets out
of hand.

Most of the time he is asleep in his own bed but apparently he gets
up during the night and "makes his rounds". I keep his training collar
on when I am home and awake. Should I leave the collar on all night
and take it off in the morning when I leave for work? I would hate
for him to get caught on something during the night while I'm
sleeping, especially since he is a small dog and the 1 foot tab drags
on the floor.

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

Thank you for posing your question in our Dog Training forum.

No you should never leave a training collar of any type on an
unsupervised dog. But, you could either crate him or tether him on a
short tether so that he can only sit, stand, lie down and turn around
on his bed but can't run off barking but has to stay on his bed for
the night.

Another Forum Member With a Puppy Barking Problem.

Gordana Writes:

Our puppy has practiced excessive barking from the first day we got
her. However, she does this only when confined. We got her Oct 15th,
making her 8.5 weeks old.

We have been doing the following: telling her no! and patiently
waiting and not taking her out until she is quiet. We have had to
step it up a bit. If, when we tell her no! she does not listen we
will also give her a firm shake. She does respond better to the
physical type of correction, but her improvement is very short term.

What else can we try? We are starting week 4 with her and we want to
prevent her from making this a permanent habit (if it hasn't already)!

Another Dog Owner Shares Their Experience.

Our puppies are about the same age. He is 10 weeks old and we have
had him (Frost) for two weeks.

The first time we put Frost in the crate he wasn't impressed. If he
decides to act up while in the crate I will not say a word...
instead I will use a cape that I wear and place it over his cage.
That way the room darkens for him and he has a scent off of the cape
to console him.

Now when he goes in his cage I tell him it is bed time, he curls up
on his pillow before I even get the door closed for the night. We
are working at being able to tell Frost that it is bedtime and have
him go into his crate without the door.

Frost is a Siberian Husky. At 10 weeks he can already stand on his
hind legs and look at the counter.

Considering how big he is going to be in a few months we felt that
it was best to train him right away. We use as much positive
re-inforcement as possible. He has to sit and be quite before he
gets any food or water. When we go outside he has to sit before his
leash goes on, he also has to sit quietly when we come in before I
will take the leash off.

I talk to Frost quite a bit through out the day... so instead of
yelling, yanking or anything like that when he is being a brat, I
will not say a word. Instead he is given the signal for sit, then I
sit down in front of him about a minute. If he moves or tries to
leave we have to sit a little longer. During this time I will not
pet him or talk to him, just stare. It takes a bit of time to work
up to the point where it only takes a minute to get your point
across, but it does work.

If Frost pushes his luck to the point of trying my patience, I will
gently place my hand over the back of his neck, quickly rock him left,
then right while making a short, deep growl that a mother dog would
make. Then I take my hand away without petting him, stare at him for
about 5 seconds, then walk away. I won't pay him any attention until
he walks over to where I am and sits down beside me. Then I will pet
him once and we go on with our day.

I hope this helps.

Liseehw

P.S. The reason that I use the reverse psychology is because I am
used to training standard size donkeys. Yep, donkeys. And... I am
only 5 feet tall and not that big, so I have been using the brains
over braun approach. Plus, Frost will be taller then me (on his hind
legs) in about six months.

Gordana Replies:

I still need help with the barking!! Please read on...Thanks for
your reply.... I need to hear that it did get better for you. We are
on week 4 with her at our home and she is quite loud yet. In addition
to her barking in her crate there are other incidents in which she is
overly vocal. We have a baby gate leading upstairs and she will bark,
yelp and howl when any family member goes upstairs.

Today she was in the midst of eating her supper (and very focused on
eating) when I went upstairs to sort laundry (hoping she would continue
eating) but no, she immediately quit and ran over and remained at the
stairs barking the entire time.

She has climbed the gate to follow -- which is a no-no. If we tell
her to sit and stay any time we go upstairs and she will sit and stay
(for the most part) but she does bark frantically. From day 1 in
addition to the barking she would shake and tremble As of this week
she no longer trembles in her kennel. But I would really ike to know
how to stop that barking! She is well aware of what the word no!
means. She can sit and stay prior to feedings, walks, etc. She has
proven easy to train in all other aspects even house training. But
we simply can not break that bad barking habit.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

Thank you for posing your question in our Dog Training forum.

You might not be displaying the body language to her that you mean
business. One of the things I did to stop the barking was first Pick
a command better suited like, "Quiet".

When you leave a room and she starts to bark, come back into the
room imedately (by this time I am usually walking very heavily so my
feet stomp a bit) get a "growly tone to your voice" and growel at her
"QUIET"( usually I also have a "angry face").

If she is in her kennel do not open it, but instead bang on the top
of the kennel with your flat handeven if she is in a wire crate the
effect should be the same (not enough to create an earth quake for
the dog inside) but enough that the banging should startle her into
being quiet.

The second she is "startled quiet" then open the crate door and slip
her a treat while praising the quiet, give a quick pet to her, then
close the door again and leave again. It may not stop with the first
or second time you try this but keep trying and be consistant.

(as I said I went through 12 weeks of flying back into the room like
a mad woman growling at my pup "QUIET").

Another thing is when you do leave a room and she is seperated from
you automatically think she is going to bark and hide closer out of
sight "in waiting" to hear the barking so you can get to her quicker
for a "startling" correction. It will get better you just have to
show her that you mean business.

Gordan Replies:

Great advice--you've given me some good ideas I can incorporate into
what I'm already doing. I have been making "umpteen" trips back and
forth and banging on her crate, being angry,etc. It helps me
tremendously that you mention it took your pup 12 weeks but at least
you had had SUCCESS :)

Thank you so much for sharing this with me! You have given me the
strength to go on knowing that it will end. Today I went home
at lunch and not only was she barking but thrashing in her kennel too.
I eventually got her to stop by banging on her kennel and scolding
her. I will definitely start using the word quiet! and practice a
few "startling" corrections. The sooner she gives up this
annoying behaviour the better!!

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

All puppies try this. And quite correct if you do not get it under
control it could turn into something worse.

My GSD's only too 1 or 2 times and they caught on quick, but as I
said my boxer as a pup took much longer I never thought he would get
it through his head. Also remember when they are quiet (in the begining)
even for 1 or 2 seconds release the puppy loose and praise!

Stop and listen outside the door also when you are leaving the house
to work or run errands (I always had to allow for at least an extra
10 to 15 minutes to hide and listen and correct if needed)

Bark Collar or Electronic Bark Collar

What Industry Insider's Know About Electronic Bark Collars
By Adam G. Katz

Here's the deal: You've got a dog that just keeps barking when you
leave him in his kennel run or in the back yard. You've already
exercised him and you know that he's not barking at anything in
specific. Let's face it: Some times dogs just bark because it's
fun. And then it becomes a habit. And then your neighbors start
complaining. Keep Reading ...

Feature: Dog Survives Toto Impression During Tornado

http://cbs2chicago.com/watercooler/tornado.lifts.dog.2.743773.html

RICHTON PARK, Ill. (CBS) ― Chase certainly doesn't look like Toto
from "The Wizard of Oz." He's a big rottweiler, not a little cairn
terrier. But he certainly does a wonderful impression.

On Saturday, when a tornado swept through Richton Park, Chase was
hanging out the backyard of Sandra Holmes' house. That is, until the
tornado picked him up and took him on the ride of his life.

"People started coming up and saying 'we saw your dog in flight,'"
said Holmes, Chase's owner.

Neighbor Tatyiana Smith saw it. "The dog was in the air, he was
going around like he was pulled out of the ground," Smith said.

Luckily, Chase didn't get whisked away to the magical land of Oz.
Instead, residents found him more than a block away in the woods,
dazed and shocked, but alive.

"It's a miracle," Holmes said. "It's a blessing from God."

CBS 2's Dana Kozlov contributed to this report

Dog Training Tips From The Discussion Forum :

Dear Adam,

I have a standard poodle who is 1 1/2 years old. We are working on
obedience training and she walks relatively well on a leash, but
needs to be reminded frequently to stay at my side.

She is distracted by everything and doesn't pay attention well, so I
like the idea of the pinch collar. However, she is EXTREMELY sensitive
and fearful. Once she is afraid it takes a long time to get her
confidence back.

Just one example: (there are many) she was a natural retriever. You
would throw a ball and she instantly got it and brought it back. One
day she was on a trolley line tie out and I threw a ball. The line
caught on my husbands leg and brought her up short. She refused to
run after anything after that. Over the past year we have been able
to get her to go cautionly to retrieve something in the house, but
not outside. So, I'm afraid that if she gets too strong of a
correction she will hesitate to walk on a leash at all and undo the
training we have already done. Pat

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

Hi Pat,

If you're fair and consistent, you have nothing to worry about.

The fetch is a game you've taught your dog. He does them because he
wants to play.

The obedience exercises-- while they can and should be fun, once
your dog knows them-- are work. Your dog does not have a choice.
(Well, actually-- he does. He learns that if he makes the right
choice, he gets nothing but praise and love. If he makes the wrong
choice, he gets a correction and then the chance to make the right
choice again.)

Just because he has a soft temperament does not mean that he should
not be corrected. Granted, the correction only needs to be firm
enough to be motivational for your specific dog. But nonetheless,
refusing to give your dog a correction will make him more neurotic
and skittish, as he'll never learn when he's doing something right.

Pat Responds:

So, basically using a pinch collar isn't a problem on a sensitive
dog. I just need to make sure that the correction isn't excessive.
She is a standard poodle but only weighs 37 pounds with a very
narrow neck. Her flat collar size is a 14-16. Should I use a small
or medium pinch collar for the most effective correction without
freaking her out. Pat

DogProblems.com Dog Training Advisor Responds:

Here's the thing:

If she is truly super-sensitive, why can't you just correct her
with the buckle collar?

If you're going to go with the pinch collar I'd get a small
(Herm Sprenger or Titan brand)and add extra prongs if necessary to
get a snug fit so the collar sat high on her neck behind her ears.
You can also get plastic covers for the prongs and/or fasten the
lead to both rings to soften corrections. But, as Adam said, if
she's truly super-sensitive (and not just a drama queen, lol)you
should be able to issue a correction that's motivational enough for
her using a plain buckle collar or even just your voice.

Pat Responds:

I didn't have time to buy a pinch collar today, but used your method
of dong the right about turn using the choke collar and the results
was amazing!

After 5 minutes she was paying attention to me like she never has
before and was walking on a loose lead even with the distractions of
traffic and people. I am amazed! Even after months of obedience
training I haven't seen this type of results so quickly. I am more
hopeful than ever that I can help her overcome some of her fears and
be able to move beyond basic obedience. Thank you! Pat

10 Things Only Your Pet Can Do For You

Diane Pomerance Ph.D.

At a time when more American households have pets than ever before
and are spending more on their pets than at any time in history, we
can only speculate as to why consumers are spending approximately
$43 billion per year on care, accessories, toys, garments, jewelry
(yes, jewelry!), grooming, pet sitters, boarding and daycare as well
as travel, kennels, crates, bowls, food, collars and leashes, and
other pet "necessities", we may wonder why we care about our pets so
dearly and why we are willing to spend so much on them - especially
in any economy that offers us anything but an optimistic outlook.

For so many of us, our pets are beloved family members - loyal,
steadfast and true who provide us with unconditional love and
loyalty - who are nonjudgmental and offer us everything they have
to give - unlimited affection and attention and the desire to share
our joys and sorrow, failures and successes - and above all, to be
there for us regardless of our religion, politics, position, attire,
appearance, eccentricities, educational background and socioeconomic
status.

There are 10 things only a beloved pet can do for us:

1). Love us unconditionally

2). Offer us unconditional loyalty

3). Refrain from judging us

4). Teach us to "live in the moment"

5). Allow us to be genuinely who we are without pretense,
affectation or façade

6). Offer empathy

7). Provide comfort and support

8). Forgive us no matter what

9). Accept us just as we are

10). Teach us gratitude and humility

Our animal companions are truly our friends, teachers and guides.
Some of our most joyous experiences and memorable moments are spent
with these friends. Just by spending time with and observing them,
we can learn so many of life's simplest yet profound lessons. We
simply need to change our perspective and remind ourselves of this
fact.

Diane Pomerance received her Ph.D. in Communications in 1979 from
the University of Michigan, and has written the highly acclaimed
children's nonfiction book on pet loss, "When Your Pet Dies" which
teaches children how to cope with and recover from the loss of a
beloved companion animal as well as those inevitable losses in life.
She is also the author of "Animal Companions: Your Friends,
Teachers & Guides", "Animal Companions: In Our Hearts, Our Lives &
Our World.", Animal Elders: Caring About Our Aging Animal Companions",
"Finding Peace After the Loss of a Loved Animal Companion", and her
most recent book "Pet Parenthood: Adopting the Right Animal Companion
for You." Dr. Pomerance counsels those mourning the loss of a beloved
companion animal. As a writer, teacher, counselor and animal lover,
she recognizes that the loss of a pet can be devastating to adults
as well as children. For over 25 years, she has also worked in a
wide variety of capacities in the entertainment industry both in New
York and Los Angeles, including production work with such programs
as NBC's Sports shows "NFL

High Protein Dog Food For Your Puppy?

A HIGH PROTEIN DOG FOOD FOR YOUR PUPPY?

Hi, Adam:

This is my second time subscribing ... apparently
I thought I "knew it all" the first time and let my
[full] subscription lapse. It's great to know, as you
promised, that rejoining did, in fact, allow
me to stay up until the wee hours of the morning
retraining myself before starting with Boone, my
10-month-old black German Shepherd.

Quick question, to Adam and all: I saw on the
website in regard to breed specific issues and I also
heard from a passing acquaintance with another GSD
(German Shepherd Dog) NOT to feed high protein
puppy food past the 8 month mark due to problems
with "too rapid" growth for these dogs.

My question is: do you recommend switching them
at that time to an adult food, or are there puppy foods
without the proteins that will cause this problem? I use
Iams, I like their product and I'm familiar with it,
but I'd be willing to switch in a heartbeat if
there was something that would help prevent any
damage. Thank you kindly for a reply and my best to all
of you ... your training help is top-notch.

Our experts respond:

Adam says: "I generally feel that at 10 months of
age, you can put him on adult food.

Many of the manufacturers now make "Large breed"
puppy formulas to address this very issue, but generally
I view these as good for dogs under eight months of age.

Continue feeding Iams if your dog responds well to it.
If not, try Nutro or Eukaneuba. But really it comes down
to whatever your dog responds best to. "

Hexen says: All of my vets (both German and American)
have suggested switching GSD (German Shepherd Dog) puppies
over-- even as early as 4 months from large breed puppy food
if you see signs of pano; Limping, excessive crying, getting
up and laying down or crying during resting times. (the
veterinarians can help you to determine if your pup has pano
(growing pains through an exam).

If no trouble is indicated then I switch all my pups over
starting at 6 months.

My new training customers misunderstood the time table as
they have a overly large, fast growing boxer pup (at 4 months
she was the size of a 6 month old) and she was switched over
at 4 months also (by accident), Saturday she turnes 6 months
old and she is doing great being off the large breed food
and on the adult food.

One of the worst cases I have ever heard and see
myself of pano was from a member of the mixed club I
belong to. She bought an 8 week old GSD female and by the
time the pup was 12 weeks she was limping so bad not just
crying but screaming in pain for no reason. She was
so bad the vets had to put her on pain killers while she
out grew this problem.

Pano is when the muscles and bones do not grow at the
same rate. The bones will grow faster then the muscles
thus creating the limping and pain.
-----------------------------------------------------

OTHER DOG-RELATED TIPS ADAM FINDS INTERESTING....

- Consumer Watch: Nigerian Dog Scam:

English bulldogs, especially those from "champion
bloodlines" and recognized by the American Kennel Club,
are worth a pretty penny: upwards of $3,000 for some
puppies. So when 29-year-old Justin Gariott saw a classified
ad in the Feb. 23 edition of the Review-Journal purporting to
offer them free for adoption, he jumped at the chance.
"I thought, maybe I would get a good dog out of this and
give a good home to that dog," the telecommunications technician
said. He sent an e-mail to the "Pastor Simpson Peter" in the
ad. But what he received in response gave him cause for alarm.

German Police Dogs To Wear Shoes ....

Mama Katz sent me this one: BERLIN (Feb. 25) - Police
dogs in the western city of Duesseldorf will no longer get
their feet dirty when on patrol -- the entire dog unit will
soon be equipped with blue plastic fiber shoes, a police
spokesman said Monday. "All 20 of our police dogs -- German
and Belgian shepherds -- are currently being trained to walk
in these shoes," Andre Hartwich said. "I'm not sure they like
it, but they'll have to get used to it." The unusual footwear

Video Proof: Pinch Collars Do Not Work, Or Do They?

Video: PROOF: Pinch Collars & E-collars Will
Ruin Your Dog... (Or Will They?)

Our critics claim that pinch collars and
e-collars will ruin your dog. That they're
"inhumane" and "cruel."

They'd like to convince you that saying "No"
to your dog is wrong. (Just like we all know
that saying "No!" to our children is wrong,
too... right?)

So much for sarcasm. I'm sure somebody out
there won't get it.

Anyway-- the problem with these crazies is
that they can't explain why my dog in this
video-- trained with both a pinch collar and an
e-collar-- can't stop smiling?

He enjoys the freedom of being able to go
anywhere with me-- and I don't have to worry
about dropping the leash (or not having a cookie
to bribe him with, in the case of the 'purely
positive' dog training crowd!)

Carla's "Rocky The Labrador" Makes His First
Search Dog Find

Carla writes:

I've been training my black lab Rocky to trail
missing dogs for the past several months, well
today he made his first real find outside
of training. It happened to be one of my
own dogs that snuck out of the fence that needed
to be found. The wind is blowing at about 40
mph today with gusts up to 50 mph, it must
have blew the gate open enough for the pit bull,
G, to slip through the opening. Once I realized
he was not in the yard I jumped in the car and
drove around a bit to see if I could see him.
Interstate 30 is right outside my front gate so I
was really worried that G would get on the highway.

By the time I got back home about 2 hours had
elapsed since the last time I had seen G in the yard.
I harnessed Rocky up, presented him with a blanket from
G"s crate and off we went from the house straight up to
the gate at the road at a dead run. Rocky indicated he
wanted to go through the gate by trying to crawl
under it. I opened the gate, went through and
then closed it again. Rocky then casted around the
drive and service road, put his nose down and went
West again at a dead run. He picked his head up a
few times, but put it back down on trail then turned
toward a metal barn about ¼ mile from the house. He
circled around a bit, I called for G, and G came
running up to us from behind the house. Thank goodness
we found him unharmed. It wasn't too tough of a
trail, not too long and not too old, but the 40+ mph
winds can make things difficult.

Anyway, thank goodness for little Rocky for doing
what he's been training for and helping me find G.
We still have a long way to go before we are proficient
in longer and older trails, but at least I know he
totally understands the basics of trailing other dogs.

Does Your Dog Need To Be Trained, Fast?

2008-01-08T23:52:00.000-08:00

Dogproblems.com Dog Training Tips Newsletter

Copyright 2007 by Browning Direct, Inc.

-----------------------------------------------------

IN THIS ISSUE:

- Does Your Dog Need To Be Worked (Trained), Fast?
-----------------------------------------------------

Some dogs do better if you "work them" fast.
Once your dog has gone through the learning phase
and understands what each command means--
your next step is to proceed through the
reinforcement and proofing phase. It's during
these phases of training that many dogs benefit
from being "worked" (trained)quickly.

The faster you can run through a series of
commands (Example: "Sit, down, free.... Down,
sit, come...") the more challenging it will be for
your dog. And if your dog can respond to commands
quickly, then responding to commands in an
every-day setting will be a piece of cake.

Working your dog fast means working your dog with
intensity. If your dog has enough presence of
mind to be looking at something else-- then you're
not working your dog fast enough. He should be
intently focused on you-- trying to anticipate what
the next command may be. And you should try to
surprise your dog (all the time, being sure to be fair) ...
as to what the next command will be. If he starts to
anticipate commands, then you'll need to correct him
back to the prior position. This teaches your dog to
"actively listen" to commands and not routinely
jump to the next command or position.

Enjoy your dog,

Removing Dog Odor From Your House

IN THIS ISSUE:

- Adventures Of A (Not So) Young Dog Trainer

- Getting Rid Of That Dog Smell In Your House & Car
-----------------------------------------------------

Carla and I are in Bogota, Colombia visiting her
parents for the next few months.

Bogota's weather is cool and crisp-- and it's a great
dog town. There are more purebred dogs in this town than
anywhere else I've lived. These people love their pure
breed dogs.

In taking advantage of this opportunity, I set out to
find my next "demo dog" ... that I may end up using for
some fun competition eventually-- too.

Although there are a lot of purebred dogs, buying a dog
is not like going down to your local Wal Mart and picking a
dog off the shelf. Especially if you want a dog that is older.
My criteria was that I wanted a medium size dog with the type
of temperament that would be easy to obedience train and of an
age that I could start training-- pretty much right away. I was
thinking along the lines of a Border Collie or a Labrador.

I ended up finding a very nice Golden Retriever, who is about
a year and four months old. We named him, "Juan Valdez."

It's been two weeks now (those of you with an active full
membership to Dogproblems.com can log in and see pictures of
"Juan Valdez" in our Members Photo Gallery) ... and we've been
documenting the training process by taking video, which I should
be posting snippets of, next week.

A funny thing happened, on our first day of training:

See, "Juan Valdez" apparently has a tendency toward dog
aggression. And as you may (or may not) know, there are army
soldiers posted on most corners, here. Some areas (like parks
for example) will have more soldiers.

So, we're starting our training and "Juan Valdez" sees a dog
being walked, off in the distance. And he starts barking.
(He's a very vocal dog!). And in the very next moment, we hear
five soldiers simultaneously click their rifles off their safety!!!!

CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.

How's that for intimidating?

(Kind of gives a new meaning to clicker training, eh?)

Well, no harm no foul.

I give "Juan Valdez" a correction and he quiets down and we
continue training. Within 20 minutes, I've got him walking
on a loose leash and jumping up on park benches on command-- and
waiting to jump down until I give him the "release" command.

We find ourselves on the other side of the park and I'm focusing
on the dog training, when out of the corner of my eye-- the sargent
walks up to Carla and insists she stops filming!

"What's going on?" I ask, in my gringo Spanish.

"What's on the camera? We want to see what's on the camera?"
he
insists.

"You want to watch videos of my dog training?" I ask.

He replies, "Just show me what's on the camera... wise guy!" His
#2 soldier takes up a flanking position. At this point, Carla is
getting nervous.

Since it's a camera I haven't used in about 5 years-- I stumble
with the controls and it takes me awhile to get it to work. I got
lucky, as the flip-open view finder clearly showed me training the
dog and the soldier didn't find it necessary to confiscate the
tape. Which would have been kind of funny, actually.

He tells us that there are politicians living in the area, and
it's illegal for us to take pictures-- due to guerilla concerns.

So, I almost got myself thrown into a Colombian jail because of my
dedication to bringing you the latest dog training techniques from
South America! More to come, in a few days!

GETTING RID OF THAT DOG SMELL IN YOUR HOUSE AND CAR ...

Here's an interesting thread I pulled from our discussions, a
few days ago:

SonjaHelga asks: Does anyone have a good odor control for the
house and car?

I have a small house, and 3 dogs. And Christmas around the corner:)

I did find one article about the car, but it talks about
"cleaning" center that it won't mention, and a product to search
for that isn't sold in retail stores. So, that doesn't help me much.

Any and all help will be deeply appreciated

AIKI replies: Not to sound offensive, but the key to odor
control with any number of pets (provided they are all housebroken
or litterbox trained) is just to keep the areas clean, which may
mean daily things: sweeping all floors, wiping down counters and
display surfaces, keeping all dogs brushed and bathed on a regular
basis to control excess fur and dander, to name a few of the obvious
things. And again I'm going to sound really mean, but those shouldn't
be too hard with a small house...we have friends with 2 dogs (used to
have 3, went down to 1 and are now at 2) and if it weren't for the
dog toys and beds on the floor as well as the barking, you'd never
know they had dogs. It's not about just masking the smell, it's
eliminating and preventing it entirely.

If you can get your hands on a powdered carpet deodorizer, start
with that unless you can get a professional carpet cleaner
scheduled in time for Christmas. Launder any pet beds/blankets and
any furniture covers on which they've been with plenty of ammonia
(it works the best, I've found, to remove really hideous
odors)...Oxy-Clean also works well, despite the annoying LOOK AT
THIS! commercials. Mop hardwood surfaces with a cleaner like Lysol
(beware, Pine-Sol can make a floor a bit sticky). Dust (either wet
or dry, I use both) to get all the shite off there. And make sure
the dogs all get brushed and bathed as well.

Just a few ideas to get you started.

SonjaHelga responds: Thanks, No offense taken. But, at the end of
the day, doing all the above mentioned, there is still a lingering
doggy odor.

It is not a dirty doggy odor. Just doggy odor. None of my dogs ever
make accidents in the house. And they are groomed regularly. And, I
do vacuum every single day.

I read on the net that if you place a small container of PLAIN
WHITE VINEGAR in a few rooms in the house that this will absorb the
excess oder.

I am giving that a shot. I hate the "fake" smells of some of the
products available.

Thanks for your tips, though.

lnorwood replies: Hi SonjaHelga: I have a Yellow Lab and A
cockapoo. They both live in the house play outside and ride in my
car. I use a product called quick bath. it is a soft towelet that
you wipe your dogs down with and it smells good. Also you can find
deoderants for them that actually makes your house and car smell
good when they run around. So I beleive with so many products for
pet hygene you should be able to find something that you like to
combat the oder problem.

cherie adds: Baking soda also works quite well especially if you
buy the ones that are made to go in the fridge. They have some kind
of paper or film over the baking soda so that they don't spill.

We used baking soda at a hotel I managed and it was very effective
at eliminating odors including pet and smoking odors.
hexen adds: In between baths you can also dust your pooch down
with Baking soda then brush it in real well to help rid doggy body
oder.

Baking soda can also help if your pet gets oil or some other yucky
substance on its coat. Dust the baking soda over the spot let it
sit for an hour or so then brush out the yucky spot.

Here is a product we found at Hershey PA. Groom Expo last September.
We were given an 8 oz bottle sample to try as we have ferrets.
Wow I love it! They sell many other smell removers also. This
product we sampled can be used on both animals and their living
quarters.

AIKI replies: You can also try an ionizer in the car, it's really
small and plugs into the cigarette lighter. I don't know exactly
what it does, but our Suburban has a smell about it that just about
nauseates me and whenever we plug it in there, I actually do feel
better.

Another thing, do you use an artificial or a real Christmas tree?
We've used real ones for as long as I can remember and the natural
pine scent from them can really fill the room and make it seem that
much more "Christmas-y." Even though we place the tree in a
dog-free room, we can still smell it out in the entrance hallway. I
like the suggestions here...we use Air-Wick/Wallflower plugins here
at school but we don't have any pets to worry about, and when I get
my own place, I'll not be using those. They're strong enough as it
is (especially the Wallflowers) and I think it'd insult the noses
of pets.

Thanks, by the way, for not taking offense at my comments...I guess
you're just as much as a clean freak as I am!

Agkatz adds: A lot also depends on what type of coat your dog has,
what type of carpet and fabric furniture you own, and also your
independent dog's "smell."

I find that a lot of English Bulldog breeds smell. When I had Gizmo
(a bulldog-mix) ... that dog had a vinegar-like odor about him, and
it didn't matter what food or shampoo we used. The dog just smelled!

Having owned a lot of rental properties in the past, sometimes the
hair will get mashed into the weave of the carpet, and no amount of
vacuuming or carpet shampoo will help. You need to pull the carpet
and the pad up and put something else done.

If I'm living in a house that I own, I try to (over time)
dog-smell-proof the house. This usually starts with replacing
carpet with either tile or laminate flooring. (Light colored
laminate is better than dark colored laminate... which tends to
show foot prints and hair more easily).

Upolstered furniture is always sprayed with Scotch-Gard. But
leather or material that doesn't attract hair is always preferred.
We also try to put heavy rubber mats outside the back door, so when
the dogs come in, they have to walk over something that pulls the
dirt off their feet before tracking it into the house. It's an
imperfect solution, but it helps.

Enjoy your dog,

- Why Our Children Need A Dog To Grow Up With ...
-----------------------------------------------------

CAN YOUR DOG PASS THE UMBRELLA TEST?

One of the tests I use when selecting a new adult dog
for a client is the Umbrella Test.

The umbrella test is used to tell if an adult dog's
temperament (or even a puppies!) is stable. What I look
for is a confident, inquisitive, "Hey-- what's that?"
reaction.

A cowering, insecure or run & hide reaction will
usually encourage me to keep looking for a more confident
dog.

So, what can you do if you already own and love a dog who
fails the Umbrella Test?

The answer is two-fold:

1. Start teaching your dog obedience exercises. Sit,
down, heel come and stay are the fundamentals, and will give
you dog more confidence in you and the world around him.

... and ...

2. Start building positive associations with as many
"real world" situations (including the Umbrella Test) as you can
think of. Life should be a fun game. How should you do this?
By using your dog's drives-- his ball/play drive and his food drive.

A Halloween Dog Training Tip

-----------------------------------------------------

A HALLOWEEN DOG TRAINING TIP

With Halloween celebrated tonight (at least in the States)
I wanted to share a short dog training story with you:

Back in 1994, I had just returned to California with a
German Shepherd dog I owned named, "Buck."

Buck was a very stable dog. Well adjusted and handsome,
too.

I'd been working with him, while I was at a dog training
outfit in St. Louis and had Buck evaluated by several
other professional dog trainers. We all agreed that he
was a nice dog-- a good specimen of the breed.

I was staying at my parents house in California for
a couple of weeks. Alice, the neighbor, and Buck got
along very well.

Alice would come over twice a day and rub Buck's
tummy and play fetch. Alice was maybe 50 years-old and she
would be the first person to tell you what a dog expert she
was. After all, Alice owned a dog when she was a child and
she had an uncle who breeds German Shepherds in Nebraska.

How this qualified her as a dog expert in her mind, I'll
never know??? But it seems to be pretty common: Somebody
breeds a litter of puppies or they own a dog or two... and
suddenly they're an expert!

Anyway... the night before Halloween, Dad and I were sitting
in the living room and Alice came in, eager to show us her new
Halloween costumer. She went into the bathroom and put some
make up, spirit gum and who-knows-what-else on her face and
came out looking like a French whore after a bad botox session.

And Buck freaked out.

I knew what was going to happen next.

If you know how to read a dog's body language, it's pretty
easy.

Buck's body became stiff and very still. His mouth closed
up and his lips were pulled very tight. And he fixated
(or locked) on Alice.

"Aww... he's scared... come here, pretty baby," said Alice.

"Stop, Alice! Don't move!" I replied.

Alice said, "It's okay-- he' knows me, he knows me," and
proceeded toward Buck with open arms. But Buck didn't
know her.

Buck gave a warning lunge and barked aggressively at her.

"Stop, you idiot," I said. "You're going to get bitten."

"But he knows me.... it's okay. He's knows me," said Alice.

But Buck didn't know her. He didn't recognize her with
the face paint and strange, painted-on expressions.

She got closer.

Buck stood up and pushed her back into the corner, keeping
her in what we call in police dog training circles, a "Bark
and Hold".

Dad laughed.

"Maybe she won't come over, so much," he said.

And Alice learned that she wasn't quite the dog expert
that she thought she was, that night.

Happy Halloween, folks. Stay safe, and keep an eye on
your dog. The canine mind perceives things much differently
than we do.

-----------------------------------------------------

DOG TRAINERS TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL

Last weekend, I was invited to attend Fred Hassen's
"Sit Means Sit" yearly alumni seminar. I got to meet some
great dog trainers. Some who were absolutely outstanding include:
Dave Skoletsky, Toni Drummond, Alfredo Rivera, Lianne Hassen,
Luciano Aguilar and many, many others. (I'm probably butchering
their names, too!)

I've been around a lot of dog people and a lot of dog
clubs in my time, and I have to say that this is a great
bunch of trainers, from around the country. They are friendly
and open. And most importantly, they seem to leave their ego
at the door and instead let their dog training do the talking.

I saw dogs doing very complicated training exercises.

You know... it's one thing to see a good AKC obedience
trainer who works with a dog that knows the obedience pattern
and what's coming next. But it's quite another thing to see
somebody invent an exercise that the trainer has never seen
before, and then watch almost magically as that dog trainer gets
her dog to do the behavior in a matter of seconds. And really
advanced stuff, too-- like getting a dog to retrieve a toy from a
bucket of water, at a distance of 20 feet... while other dogs were
standing around!!

It was an exercise that one dog trainer thought up, and
challenged the others, to do. Trust me when I say that it's
not simply dropping a toy into a bucket of water and telling the
dog to go pick it up. The exercise involved: A directed send-away,
a fetch command, a return/recall command, and the dog having
enough trust in the owner to stick his head into a bucket of dirty
water and retrieve a toy.

Probably not what the average pet owner will ever need to
teach their dog to do-- but impressive, nonetheless.

I saw many other incredibly high levels of training. And
I'll be sharing more, in weeks to come.

If you're looking into hiring a local dog trainer to help
with your dog, I think it would be wise to contact a Sit Means
Sit dog trainer in your area and have them at least come out and
give you a demonstration. I can guarantee you'll be impressed.

For more information, see:
http://www.sitmeanssit.com

(By the way... I have no financial interest in recommending Sit
Means Sit. Fred Hassen, the owner, bought me a couple of dinners,
and that's not nearly enough to buy my recommendation).

A Mercedes would be, though.

Enjoy your dog,

Leaving Your Dog Alone In The House

- Leaving Your Dog Alone In The House ...

-----------------------------------------------------

LEAVING YOUR DOG ALONE...

Did you know that you need to train your dog to be
alone in the house?

Many dog owners don't know what age you can reasonably
expect to leave your dog alone in the house, without
having any problems. The answer to this question really
depends on you and your dog, but generally speaking--
If you've adopted your dog as a puppy, and you've followed
all of the instructions in Adam's excellent dog training
course, "Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer!" (which
you can read more about at:

DogProblems

... then you will be able to start leaving your dog alone
in the house at around 1.5 years of age.

Kathleen from our discussion forum at Dogproblems.com asks
about leaving her dog alone:

"How can I stop my dog from destroying my house while
I'm at work? He's almost five months-old and I have had
him since April. HEEEELP!!

What Kathleen needs to do is understand that her dog
is still a baby. Even though he may look like a full grown
dog at this age--he's not. And just like a baby would need
to be put in a play pen or a crib when unsupervised-- so
does your dog.

(Of course, your dog needs to be let out of the crate
for regular potty breaks, exercise and play. For some
dog owners, confining the dog in a doggie-safe kennel
run outside may work better).

But back to the crate: The crate also has an added benefit
of giving your dog a "safe zone." Everybody (even humans)
needs a safe zone. That's why we live in houses and apartments
with locks on our doors. Because we need a place where we can
be safe. The crate does this for the domesticated dog, by
playing on your dog's ingrained "den instinct."

Cherie from our discussion forum adds, "There are
basically two types of dog crates. One is the plastic airline-type
crates and the other are the wire crates. If you go to the
PetEdge site or any pet products catalogue (i.e. Drs. Foster and Smith),
you can see examples of both those types plus some others.

By the way... before I learned better, my first collie
chewed a coffee table into match sticks. He was just
about the same age as your dog is."

We recommend the plastic, airline crates.

Once your dog is older and has demonstrated to you
that he's old enough to handle the responsibility of
being alone in the house (by leaving him for short periods
of time, that gradually get longer and longer-- and by
correcting unwanted behavior when he attempts it
while you are home) you'll soon have a pet that can
be left in the house, unsupervised without causing any problems.

Enjoy your dog,

VIDEO OF ADAM TEACHING A GERMAN SHEPHERD
DOG WHAT 'DOWN' MEANS

I just found a video tape, in the bottom of my suit case.
It was taken a little over a year ago when I was in Costa Rica.
My friend Eddie came over and had a video camera in his
car and said, "Hey Adam... let's make a video for your web site!"

Well, it's taken me this long just to figure out how to upload it
to the internet.

This is me, in the kitchen with "Condi":

From the video title on Youtube:

Dogproblems.com founder Adam G. Katz shows you how to
introduce the down-command to your dog. There are three
phases of dog training: The teaching phase, the reinforcement
phase, and the proofing phase. This exercise "teaches" the
dog what the basic position of "down" should look like.

Message:
Hi Adam,

All I can say is BOW-WOW! I have 4 Jack Russells and bought your
book. One 1 on 1 session with your loose leash training and we were
able to have a very nice walk- all 5 of us. I have bought the
halti, choke chains, flat collar, gentle leader and now I have the
pinch collars. Man-o-man-o-man what a transformation. They were
always trying to scratch off the head halters. Choking with the
choke chain and just plain pulling my arms out of socket with the
flat collar. Now they walk beside me. We have a long way to go, but
I think we will have a much better go of it now. I am so glad I ran
across your website. Wish I would have found it sooner. It would of
saved us time, money and aggravation.

Thanks So Much,
Cyndi Ryals

Enjoy your dog,

Walking On a Loose Leash

Does Your Dog Treat You Worse Than Your
Husband Or Wife Does?

Success Story: 5yr-old American Pit Bull
Terrier NOW Walking On A Loose Leash...
-----------------------------------------------------

Does Your Dog Treat Your Worse Than Your Husband Or Wife Does?

Would you tolerate your wife not paying attention
to you, when you asked her to do something?
How about if your husband didn't look
at you, or even acknowledge you... when
you ask him to bring your medicine?

If you have a healthy relationship with
your significant other, then you probably
couldn't imagine your spouse treating you with
such disrespect.

But the same people who would divorce their
husband or wife in a New York minute for this
type of behavior... will tolerate it for years
from their dog.

Yes... from the same animal that they feed,
bathe, house and pay medical bills for.

But ask the dog to do something-- and they'll
consistently let their pet ignore them.
AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!!!

You don't need to be a professional dog
trainer to get great results with your dog.
And you don't need to learn the secrets and
tips that we use to get super-fast results
with minimal effort. (Although it helps!)

But what you ** do ** need, is to command
your dog's attention.

Getting your dog's attention is the foundation
of all dog training. It's very difficult to
teach your dog anything (or your husband or
wife for that matter!) ... if you don't first
have their attention.

And this is why the first exercise I always
teach a new dog is "The Attention Getter" exercise.

How do I accomplish this, you're wondering?

I start by insisting that the dog walks on a
loose leash.

It's physically impossible for a dog to
walk on a loose leash and NOT pay attention
to the person on the other end of the leash.
Once I have the dog's attention-- and have
taught him to pay attention around all types
of distractions-- only then can I proceed to
fixing problems, teaching obedience exercises,
or even just bonding with my dog.

-----------------------------------------------------

SUCCESS STORY: 5yr-old American Pit Bull
Terrier WALKING ON A LOOSE LEASH!

I received this e-mail, this morning.

I love getting this kind of letter:

"Dear Adam,

I have a 5yr-old American Pit Bull Terrier.
He is full of life and game and for 5 years
he has pulled on his leash to the point that
my wife nor my son could walk him. It was a
constant struggle for me, too, and it limited
where I could take him for safety reasons
and for fear of embarrassment.

I purchased access to your site yesterday.
When I got home and followed your instructions
on Loose Leash Walking in 10 Minutes,
the same dog that pulled until he choked
himself was walking by my left side completely
in-sync with me in UNDER 5 MINUTES!!!

He stopped when I stopped, sped-up when I
sped-up, and slowed down when I slowed down.

Later that night I was taking him out again
and he got a real test. Two people were walking
their dogs on either side of the street.
Normally he would have been lunging at them
to sniff and investigate however, miraculously,
I stopped walking game him the "stop" command
and so did he... no pulling! One of the owners said,
"Wow, at least someone listens" as their dog was
lunging and barking. In 5 years I've never felt
more proud of my dog, Lexx, than at that moment.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Based on the results I've seen thus far (1 day)
I would have been willing to pay 100 times the
amount you charge.

I feel I have a completely new relationship
with my boy now and I can't wait to get home
from work and take him for a walk -- I walked him
5 times last night ;]

With many thanks,

Christian Rxxxxx

Enjoy your dog,

How Do You Picture Your Dog, Trained?

- How Do You Picture Your Dog, Trained?
-----------------------------------------------------

A couple of weeks ago, I attended one of Fred Hassen's Sit Means
Sit dog training seminars, in Los Angeles, California-- while I was
visiting my parent.

I'm still evaluating Fred's approach to dog training for the
"average" pet owner, but I am ready to tell you that anyone
considering advanced obedience training or competition training
needs to take a serious look at what Fred is doing in the dog
world. At only one year of age, Fred's Belgian Malinois, Wally, is
simply amazing. The best I've ever seen, for a dog of that age.
Or for a dog twice his age, for that matter!

(I've got some footage of Fred working with Wally that I'll try to
post, next week).

Anyway-- Fred and I were talking during a break, and one of the
concepts that came up in conversation was the idea of having a
"picture" in your mind of what a trained dog looks like. Of course,
that picture looks different for everyone. It's like asking
somebody to, "Picture the perfect wife or husband."

I was always amused when a new dog training client would come to me
and get almost hysterically happy about the idea of THEIR DOG being
able to lay down and stay down, for a whole hour. I mean... imagine
having your unruly dog lay down like a doggie-gentleman (or lady)
at your feet, without causing problems while you eat dinner?
Especially if it's a dog you've owned for four or five years,
already... and he has a history of wild, obnoxious behavior.

But that's easy.

Because my picture of a "trained" dog goes so far beyond mere
"down-stays." But for somebody else, that's the extent of their
"picture of a trained dog."

When I first started training dogs professionally, I figured that
with so much media saturation in our lives--and with television
shows like, "Lassie" and movies such as, "Dr. Doolittle," my
new
clients would be expecting their dogs to do back-flips.

Boy was I surprised when people showed up and were completely
over-satisfied just to have their dogs walking on a loose leash.
"But wait," I thought to myself, "That's easy. We can get the
dog doing that in only 10 minutes."

So, there is apparently a very strong disconnect with what people
see on television, and what they expect from their dogs.

One of the things that Fred and I agree about is that you need to
start by having a picture in your head of what type of behavior
you desire from your dog. And then it's just a matter of going out
and collecting the techniques that will allow you to get those
behaviors from your dog. I've spent the past several years
collecting the technique that I've tried and tested successfully on
my own dogs and with my clients' dogs and have collected them on
our web site, Dogproblems.com.

But whatever techniques you use--be it mine, Fred's or somebody
else's ... you need to start off with a very clear picture in your
head as to "How will my dog look, once he's trained."

Enjoy your dog,

Our Dog's "Potty Area"

-----------------------------------------------------

A CONVERSATION WITH BILL EMBLEY, ON PUPPY ADOLESCENTS...

Last night I had a phone conversation with Bill
Embley. Bill is a true-Texan, in every sense of
the word. He likes beer, guns and pick up trucks.

Despite these affections... Bill's not a redneck.

He's one of the smartest people I know when it
comes to analyzing human behavior and the result
of that human behavior.

So, about 2 years ago, he hired me to help him
pick out a Doberman pup.

We found a good dog for him. But like all pups
(especially Doberman pups) they are high energy,
and always need to be supervised.

What's special about Bill is that he is a stickler for
following directions.

He literally did EVERYTHING I describe in my book,
"Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer!" (which you
can read about at: Click Here to read more...

Well, at about a year and half of age, something
funny started happening. Bill started calling me
and bragging about what an amazing dog "Cash" has
turned into. I have a long list of emails he's sent
about what a great companion he's become.

The last time I visited Texas, I met with Bill and
"Cash" and can confirm his progress. "Cash" is truly a
great companion dog that Bill can take anywhere.

Here's a picture of "Cash" that Bill sent me:
Here to View Photo...

Anyway--we started talking about Clemenza, our
Team Dogproblems.com experimentation/mascot
dog. He's now about 10 months old, and I think
that-- eventually--he's going to be a great dog. But
for now, he's got so much energy, and always needs to
have his "noisy nose" into everything. Daily walks,
training and play time take the edge off, tremendously.
But it's important to note that adolescents is a
PROCESS that all of us must endure and work through.

(Just like those of you who have children know about
the 'terrible two's!"

My point: Even when you do everything right, there's
no getting around puppy adolescents. It's just a part
of raising a great companion dog.

Here's some pictures I've taken of "Clemenza
the Wonder Dog!" in case you're wondering what
we've been doing with him:

This is Clemenza wearing the "Outward Hound"
doggie back pack I described in last week's
issue of this newsletter. The pack is holding two
large rocks... to make our daily walk more strenuous,
to give Clemenza a sense that he is "working" and
to burn off some of that extra energy.

SOME PICTURES OF THE TYPE OF GRAVEL I'M
USING FOR OUR DOG'S "POTTY AREA"

I'm no longer using the small pea gravel for my
kennel runs and 'potty areas' and have instead
switched to the larger gravel (see picture). It's
easier to clean, it doesn't end up disintegrating
with the rain, it doesn't make as much of a mess,
and there's not chance of a dog eating it. So far,
it's been working well.

"How I Trained My Dog In One Evening"

2007-02-20T18:50:00.001-08:00

By: Ellen Langton

My husband Don didn't want me to write this.

He begged me not to let his secret out. He said it would ruin his reputation.

You see, Don thinks he's the world's greatest dog trainer.

Whenever people tell us how well behaved our dog Misty is, Don likes to brag that it's all because of him.

Don and Ellen with their dog Misty.

But Don isn't a dog expert. Not even close. He's a retired plumber.

In Fact, Just A Few Weeks Ago He Wanted To Take Misty Back To The Animal Shelter

That’s what it had come to. Sure everything started out great - she was really a lot of fun when we first got her. But all that came to an end when she started peeing on our bed. And when I let her out to go potty at night, she’d just bolt off into the darkness. Then I had to stand in the cold yelling for her, embarrassed that our neighbors might be listening to me.

I think Don complained about the barking more than anything – he said it was worse than a baby crying. If someone jogged past the house, Misty barked. When cars drove by, she barked. And for no reason at all, she’d bark even more.

Stop a Dog from Marking it's Territory

2007-02-14T13:28:00.000-08:00

If your dog is lifting his leg and urinating in your house; table legs, walls, door facings, etc.. this may not be an inappropriate elimination problem. This is common territorial marking behavior. Most dogs will not mark in the house because they see the home as their den. However if they feel threatened or there are more than one pet in the house, territorial marking may begin.

Marking behavior will consist of a small squirt of urine rather than a steady flow. Most dogs will stop marking behavior if spayed or neutered. However, the longer you wait the more likely the behavior has become a habit and will continue even after surgery. Even if the dog ceases to mark in your home, he may well continue to do so outdoors or where the scent of another dog triggers the marking behavior.

The best preventative measure is to spay or neuter your dog at around six to nine months of age. In most cases behavior training will correct the problem and is recommended with adult dogs or when surgery is not an option.

There are many risk factors involved with a dog marking in your home, not to mention damage to your carpet, furniture, and other household items. Many times dogs will mark areas you are not aware of and this can create unsanitary conditions in your home plus air quality being poor with the odor.

In any case, a basic obedience - house training program will show you how to stop this annoying and unhealthy behavior in your home.

AVANCED THEORY ON TEACHING YOUR DOG TO COME...

[Adam's note: Remember, the difference between
using food as a bribe versus using food as a
motivator: As a bribe, you're bribing the dog to
do the behavior, and if he does... then he'll get a
cookie. Bad, bad, bad. Instead, use the food as
a motivator by MAKING THE DOG do the exercise,
and then after the exercise is complete, you can
reward with praise and a cookie... if this is what
motivates your dog.]

Wscott52 on our discussion forum made this
excellent post:

'I think for most people, the long line is
basic recall training. This was my method with
personal pets long before I read Adam's
book. This method is based on my understanding
of operant conditioning learned while earning a
BA in Psychology.

Start with the dog on the leash in an open
area with minimal distractions. Call the dog
and pull him toward you with the leash. When he reaches
you praise him and reward him with a treat. The
reward and praise have to follow the completion
of the desired behavior immediately. Soon the dog will
turn to you at the recall without being prompted by the
leash. When he is turning on his own wait for a moment
after calling him to give him time to obey.

If he comes give him praise and reward, if he
stops after turning issue the recall again and
gently pull him in with the leash When he is coming
100% reliably you need to start weaning him off the
food reward. A 100% reinforcement schedule is the
fastest way to condition a new behavior. A behavior
learned this was will also be the fastest to extinguish
if you go from 100% reward directly to 0%. The key is to
gradually wean him off the treats. Go to 50% reward for
behavior and then after several sessions go to 1/3, then
1/4, 1/5. At some point where you are rewarding for
only one in five or six trials you should go to a
decreasing random reinforcement schedule. In other words
reward after five trials but the next time wait for
maybe eight then five or four again.

Eventually you can wean him to 0% food reinforcement.
You want to keep verbal praise going throughout.
The conditioning resulting from a gradual random decrease
in the food reward will be the most persistent you can
achieve. Eventually it will extinguish but if you occasionally
give him a treat when calling him he should come
reliably indefinitely. Also at some point during this
process if he is coming 100% reliably you will start
letting him drag the leash and only pick it up if he fails
to recall. At this point too if you want to you can introduce
him to an ecollar and do away with the long line."

Enjoy your dog,

Dog Training Basic Commands

2006-11-17T13:19:00.000-08:00

Advertisement: Click Here For Amazon's Latest Dog Training DVD's

Dog Training Basic Commands

There are of course many reasons for owners
to want a calm, obedient and faithful dog.
For one thing, obedient and trained dogs are
happier dogs, less likely to get into tussles
with people or with other dogs. Another reason
is that many communities require that the dogs
living in their neighborhoods be well trained.
This is especially true for many breeds thought
to have aggression and behavior problems – dog
breeds like pit bulls and rottweilers for instance.

And of course, training your dog well will also
make he or she a much better family companion,
especially in households where there are young
children. Many studies have shown that proper
dog training makes a big impact when it comes to
cutting down the number of dog bits and other
behavior problems encountered by dog owning
households.

When considering training your own dog, or having
someone else help you train it, there are certain
basic commands that must be mastered in order for a
dog to be considered truly trained. These basic
commands include:

Heel – it is important that any dog learn to
walk beside its owner on a loose lead, neither
pulling ahead nor lagging behind.

No – the word no is one word that all dogs must
learn. Training your dog to respond to this important
word can save you a ton of trouble.

Sit – Training your dog to sit on command is a vital
part of any dog training program.

Stay – A well trained dog should remain where his
or her owner commands, so stay is a very important
command in dog training.

Down – Lying down on command is more than just a
cute trick; it is a key component of any successful
dog training program.

Dog training does much more than just create an
obedient, willing companion. Training your dog
properly actually strengthens the bond that already
exists between dog and handler. Dogs are pack
animals, and they look to their pack leader to tell
them what to do. The key to successful dog training
is to set yourself up as that pack leader.

Establishing yourself as pack leader is a very
important concept for any potential dog trainer to
understand. There is only one leader in every pack
of dogs, and the owner must establish him or herself
as the dominant animal. Failure to do so leads to
all manner of behavior problems.

A properly trained dog will respond properly to
all the owner’s commands, and will not display
anxiety, displeasure or confusion. A good dog
training program will focus on allowing the dog to
learn just what is expected of it, and will use positive
reinforcement to reward desired behaviors.

In addition to making the dog a good member of the
community, obedience training is a great way to fulfill
some of the dog’s own needs, including the need for
exercise, the security that comes with knowing what
is expected of it, a feeling of accomplishment and a
good working relationship with its handler. Dog training
gives the dog an important job to do, and an important
goal to reach.

Giving the dog a job is more important than you may
think. Dogs were originally bred by humans to do
important work, such as herding sheep, guarding property
and protecting people. Many dogs today have no important
job to do, and this can often lead to boredom and neurotic
behavior.

Basic obedience training, and ongoing training sessions,
provide the dog with an important job to do. This is
especially important for high energy breeds like German
shepherds and border collies. Training sessions are a
great way for these high energy dogs to use up their extra
energy and simply to enjoy themselves.

Incorporating playtime into your dog training sessions
is a great way to prevent both yourself and your dog from
becoming bored. Playing with your dog helps to strengthen
the all important bond between you – the pack leader – and
your dog.

GETTING YOUR KIDS TO TRAIN YOUR DOG...

From our discussion forum, a very enlightening thread:

Reese asked us about her kids and dog:
Hello Adam

I wrote you just last week and I am currently in
the process of trying quite of few of your training
methods. My boyfriend and I are trying to read
everything, but so far we haven't finished reading
the book yet.

My question to you this time regards our kids.
We have 2 kids aged 9 and 11. These 2 boys are at
the stage in life where you tell them something and
it goes in one ear and out the other. So when it
comes to training our puppy, our rules are not
being followed. Do you recomend that children in
this age range participate in helping train?

If not, how do we teach our puppy that she is
lower than them in the pack?

Any insight would be wonderful since our puppy
tends to chew on their pants and feet.

Thank you
Joy

Posted Nov 14,2006 3:02 PM Poohbear

Hi Joy, My name is Donna, I have raised 3 so far
and am grandmother to 2 more. Dogs have been in our
lives right along. So on that note, your sons are
old enough to understand basic commands, (we all hope,
when our children are that age!) Can they play
with the dog, and maybe ask for a sit or down,
then give a treat when the dog listens? Make it
fun for your boys, and it will really be fun for
the dog.

Our 2 year old granddaughter can make our 19
month old GSD down on command. She is really loud,
but she is 2. She yells, Wreck, lay down! And he
drops like someone shot him. I give her a cookie,
and she passes it on, with a smug expression, and
he takes it ever so gently. Not always the case with
other treats, so, we make sure that she only has the
bland cookie so he doesn't grab.

Your boys are old enough to be involved, and
you must make it seem like homework, that if they
do a good job and make the dog listen, they got an
A plus, so now they have a treat of their own.
My boy, needed to have rewards to do what I wanted,
he is now 22 yrs. and I still think that it works
best for him. Hmmmmmm. Kinda like dog training.! LOL

There's a thread further down if you haven't
gone looking already...see if it can help you aside
from what Pooh said.

Thank you, I did read down further. However
this case is a little different. Both boys
have seperate experiences with other dogs. This
is a blended family and they have seen different
training methods applied. They are methods that
I don't agree with and are nothing like the methods
used in this book. Such as yelling and scolding.
We have expressed our views and tried to teach
them the methods that we are using but to no avail.
And since our puppy is only 12 weeks old, I am
wondering if maybe we should wait to include them on
participating in training until we are a little further
along in the process or if there was maybe another way
to go about things. My boyfriend was suggesting possibly
letting the boys pile on top of her (not putting their
weight on or, but being on top of her enough that she
feels dominated). What are your thoughts?

Posted Nov 14,2006 6:21 PM agkatz

No, I don't endorse yelling or screaming.

Remember, you don't want to start the formal
training until the dog's adult teeth come in.
Usually at 4 to 4.5 months of age. Until
then, it's just teaching the dog basic
manners and housebreaking.

Your children shouldn't be allowed around the
dog unsupervised, at this point.

And later, you will be the one to teach the
command, and after the dog has learned the command
(and gone through all three phases: learning,
reinforcement, and proofing)... then you can teach
your children how to 'handle' the dog. Handling a
dog is different than training a dog. (One is like
building a car and the other is just driving the car).

I'm not sure if that answers your question or
not. If not, keep hammering us with questions
until you get a straight answer. ;)

Posted Nov 14,2006 11:00 PM cherie

You and your boyfriend are the adults, the
Alphas so to speak of the entire pack, human
and canine. If the two boys won't follow
your rules, don't allow them the privilege
of playing with the puppy. Actions and decissions
have consequences and the boys are old enough to
know that or to learn it before they get any older.

When I was taking an obedience class with
my first collie there was a father and son in the
class with two Dobermans (wonderful dogs who became
two of my collie's best canine friends). The boy
was 9 years old and did a great job with the dog.
But, he listened to the instructor and to his father
when practicing at home. Your sons may not be ready
yet for this responsibility. You are the only one who
can know for sure.

Posted Nov 15,2006 4:41 AM hexen

My opinion is, if the kids show no interrest
in learning how to teach the dog then they should
not handle and play unsupervised with the dog/puppy
until such point that they do truely want to
take part. Some kids may never become interrested
in learning how to properly handle a dog.

A military neighbor family in Germany that bought
their kids 2 malteases, The parents signed the kids
up for classes with me and neither kid was interrested.
I would see these kids outside with the dogs and the
kids were more interrested in hanging out with
friends not what the dogs were doing.

On the other hand, My last "student" was 12
years old and she showed a great potential and desire
to learn and practice how to handle her very large
lab mix properly.

Posted Nov 15,2006 4:41 AM bethotc

And No, your boys should not "pile on top of
the puppy" to show dominance! I understand they are
at the age when "listening" is difficult, but consistency
by all members of the family is what will achieve the
results in both the puppy and the boys LOL!

'Clemenza' the bulldog, with dog training author Adam G. Katz

(openPR) - When the Dr. Phil Show needed a guard
dog for one of their guests, they contacted Adam Katz,
a reclusive dog behaviorist and trainer who has an
underground following of tens of thousands of
dog owners on the internet.

After self-publishing his book, “Secrets of a
Professional Dog Trainer” in 1997, many began
seeking more about Katz's dog training methods
at Dogproblems.com, a subscription-based web
site that promotes his unorthodox techniques
for fixing behavior problems in dogs.

“I became a convert after reading his book,” said
Carla Rocha, a dog trainer from Colombia. “I stayed
up all night reading the web site. Within a week, my
clients' dogs were doing 1000% better. To say I was
amazed is an understatement.”

The web site features immediate access to the text
of Katz's original book, instant access to a resource
library of over 148 Articles and dialogues between
Katz and his students, tutorials, photos and a
private discussion group where both dog owners and
professionals swap dog training tips.

“My neighbors were surprised,” said dog owner
Rose Pedenko of her Golden Retriever, “Duke.”
“For the first time in his life… he wasn't
pulling on his leash anymore.”

“For me, it was a small investment and a wise
decision,“ said Pedenko, “I'll be a member for as
long as I own a dog.”

Katz has been featured in Men's Health and Dog
World Magazine and has trained the dogs for
celebrities as diverse as Los Angeles Kings
Hockey Team Captain Rob Blake, Porn Star Julia Ann,
and Congresswoman Jane Harman, a six-term Democratic
member of the United States House of Representatives

A subscription to Dogproblems.com includes immediate
access to an extensive dog training resource library,
a members-only discussion forum, daily updated
content and several downloadable dog training books,
tutorials, pictures and canine psychology audio lectures
on mp3.

newsletter.

Dog Winter Safety Tips

2006-11-06T23:13:00.000-08:00

Hi Fellow Canines... Meatloaf Here!

Cold, frigid weather presents the same problems
for us dog's as it does for some humans. If you're
uncomfortable in the cold, expect to shiver or hold
up your paw as you walk. If Your Human leaves you
outside for extended periods of time, you can
experience frostbite or hypothermia.

Look for discoloring of the skin, especially on
your ear tips and other extremities. If you find
any signs, contact your veterinarian.

Salt or other ice-melting chemicals as well as
antifreeze can be extremely hazardous and
life-threatening for us dog's if we ingest them.
Road salt also can cause sores if it becomes
lodged between our footpads. We are at risk with
cold and winter-related hazards, whether we live
indoors or out.

Here are a few tips:

1. Have your human place a flannel sheet over
your bed for extra warmth.

2. To keep warm, some of you may like to sleep
on floor heating vents that can catch your
identification tag attached to our collar. If
you like to snooze over a floor vent, have your
human put your tag in your Pet Pocket, which
attaches to your collar.

3. In cold weather, you will need more energy
to fight the cold in the form of extra calories,
so don't be afraid to ask your human for additional
food in the winter.

4. Be sure to wipe off your paws when you come in
from the outside to prevent salt and other chemicals
from sticking to your feet.

5. Make sure your human keeps antifreeze out of your
reach, and be sure they clean up any that may have
spilled in the garage or driveway.

6. If your accustomed to living the good life indoors,
don't stay outside for extended periods of time in
cold weather.

7. Make sure you have a warm, draft-free place to
sleep. Since warm air rises, have your human put
your bed off the floor, this will add extra warmth
and comfort for winter dreaming.

8. Don't allow your human to let you be off leash
in a snowstorm or ice storm. If you get lost, you
will not be able to use your sense of smell to find
your way home.

9. If you're a short-haired dog, elderly, or
sensitive to the cold, even for short walks,
tell your human to consider purchasing a sweater
for you to wear in cold weather.

Thanks For Listening and Look for more tips soon!

Review of Twenty-Two Questions & Answers About Buying And Owning A Personal Protection Dog

2006-11-06T13:08:00.000-08:00

Twenty-Two Questions & Answers About Buying And Owning
A Personal Protection Dog For You And Your Family.

'We practice with our firearms. We take our guns to
the range. We make sure they don't jam, and if they do
jam with regularity, we sell them... ' 'Yet every year,
hundreds of thousands of dog owners assume that their
untrained, untested dog will help defend them against a
bad guy. Most will be sadly disappointed. Here's why...'

Article By Adam G. Katz, Founder of South Bay K-9 Academy
and DogProblems.com

November 6, 2006.

Imagine that it's late at night. You're home alone when you
suddenly hear the sound of breaking glass downstairs...
Your canine companion however, continues to slumber at the
foot of your bed. 'Great,' you think to yourself, 'Somebody
just broke into my house and Fido won't even wake up!'
You give Fido a nudge as if to say, 'Go on boy... go
check it out!' He finally jumps to attention when you start
to hear the shuffle of the intruder's feet as he starts to
make his way toward the bottom of your staircase.
Thankfully, Fido runs down the steps, boldly managing a
high-pitched bark... when suddenly...

... Fido runs back into your bedroom with his tail between
his legs, whimpering. The footsteps keep coming...

You think to yourself:
'Oh, %@#$%!' This isn't happening!
This SHOULD NOT be happening!!!
I bought a German Shepherd/ Rottweiler / Doberman to
prevent this type of thing from happening!!!'
But guess what? It is happening.

----------------------------------------------------

And it happens to a lot of people.

"If You Think That Buying A Guard Dog Breed-- Without
Training Or Proper Selection-- Is Going To Be Enough To
Protect You And Your Family... You're Playing Russian
Roulette With Your Personal Safety."

A similar scenario happened to a friend of mine, several
years ago. She was raped-- in her own bed by a man who
broke into her house-- while her large, untrained German
Shepherd dog laid passively at the foot of her nightstand--
in conflict (and not knowing how to respond). It's called
"bite inhibition"... and most dogs are born with it.

It happens. And it probably happens with a lot more
frequency than you might expect.

So, what can you do to prevent yourself from having
false confidence in a dog you already own? And what
should you do if you're looking to buy a personal
protection dog? Please read on....

"Adam's knowledge of protection dogs helped me pick out a
Doberman Pinscher that later SAVED MY LIFE!"
-- Bill Embley, San Antonio, Texas.

"While remodeling a house in Houston, Texas, a bald-headed
thug with a tattoo on his neck entered the house where
I was working. He thought I was alone. But my Doberman
surprised him, cornered him, and wouldn't let him move.
He threw up his hands and said, 'Just let me out of here,
just let me out!' I didn't know if he had a weapon, so I
had my Doberman stay in front of me as I instructed the
thug to run out the side gate. I then called the police. "

"Unbelievably, they were able to set up a perimeter and
caught the guy, only three blocks away. They had to
wrestle him to the ground, and ended up booking him for
resisting arrest, possesion of narcotics and trespassing.
Needless to say, that evening 'Cash' [the Doberman]
ate filet mignon!"

Aggressive Dog Training

2006-11-03T10:42:00.000-08:00

Professional dog trainer Daniel Stevens now offers
aggressive dog training online. His new program and
website will guide you step-by-step on dealing with
aggressive dogs. Dealing with dog aggression requires
patience, persistence, and proper training.

Bishop, CA (PRWEB) November 3, 2006 -- Professional
dog trainer Daniel Stevens now offers aggressive dog
training online. His new program and website will
guide you step-by-step on dealing with aggressive dogs.
Dealing with dog aggression requires patience,
persistence, and proper training.

Dog owners worldwide are faced with many unexpected
challenges after acquiring a dog or puppy from breeders,
shelters, private party, and various other methods.

The most feared challenge of owning Mans Best Friend
is that of Dog Aggression. Some puppies will show signs
of aggression at a very early age. Adult dogs can also
show signs of aggression for various reasons such as dog
on dog aggression, dog food aggression, protection,
jealousy, or from being abused as a puppy. Certain dog
breeds are more prone to aggressive dog behavior than others.

Dog Aggression can cause serious problems such as
personal injury to neighbors, family members, children,
infants, livestock, or other pets. Everyday aggressive
dog behavior is blamed for personal injury and quite
often dog owners end up in court answering to the legal
system and being held liable for their dogs aggressive behavior.

Aggressive dog training programs are now available in
the form of DVD, Video, eBook, Online Dog Training
Memberships, and various other methods. Some sites
offer free ebooks to assist owners with selecting a
proper dog training program for them and their dog as
seen in these examples at: Dog-Training-Sites.com
A simple search for aggressive dog training on-line
will return thousands of results assisting dog owners
with controlling aggressive dog behavior.

Professional dog trainer Daniel Stevens and owner of
KingdomOfPets.com is a certified professional dog trainer.
His new program offers extensive training material in the
form of both ebook, dvd, newsletter, and personal email
consultation.

His new aggressive dog training program is available
on-line to anyone worldwide and provides an alternative
to hiring a personal trainer. A small investment in
aggressive dog training could possibly prevent a lifetime
of legal fees, medical bills, and mental anguish.

Daniel Stevens also offers training programs covering
everything from house training, crate training, dog
behavior training, leash training, dog digging, dog jumping,
and dog biting, all available online. Visit his new website,
review his program, and sign up for his free newsletter.
A properly trained dog is a happy dog, a happy dog makes
for a happy owner.

Expert to evaluate dog that attacked, killed man
Charges could be filed against the pit bull's owner

By RENÉE C. LEE
Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle
The owner of a male pit bull dog that attacked and
killed a man over the weekend could face criminal
charges, but that will not be decided until an expert
evaluates the animal, a Montgomery County Sheriff's
official said Monday.

The pit bull, named Dax, will be examined today by national
dog aggression expert Jim Crosby at the Montgomery County
Animal Control facility, where it is being held in
quarantine until the investigation is completed.
Crosby's findings will help determine what, if any
charges, will be filed against the dog's owner, Firas Beseisso.

''At this point, there is no premeditation, but
there are some issues of negligence,' said Montgomery
County Sheriff's detective Tommy Overstreet.
''The liability rests solely on his shoulder,'
Overstreet said. The case will then be referred to the
Montgomery County district attorney, who will decide
whether to prosecute, and a judge will order the dog
euthanized, Overstreet said.

Saturday's attack happened about 4 p.m. at Beseisso's home,
just west of Willis. Beseisso was showing the dog to
David ''Ted' McCurry, 41, and Kimberly Cunningham, 19,
who were looking to buy a dog for home protection, Overstreet said.
As the pair talked to Beseisso, the dog broke free
from the owner and went after Cunningham. The woman
jumped on the roof of her car, while Beseisso and McCurry
tried to restrain the dog. Beseisso, 22, managed to get
a hold of the dog, but it broke loose again and attacked
McCurry, biting him over 90 percent of his body,
Overstreet said.

Sheriff's deputies tried to pry the dog off McCurry
but had to use a Taser to calm and control the dog.
McCurry died before emergency medical crews arrived,
Overstreet said.

An autopsy report released Monday shows McCurry died
from a lacerated and severed carotid artery and jugular
and 2 1/4 -inch deep fractures on the back of his neck,
Overstreet said.

Beseisso, who suffered minor bites to his hands, told
authorities that he bought Dax five months ago for home
security. He said that Dax had never bitten or attacked
anyone, Overstreet said.

He also told police that he had two other pit bulls but
sold them and wanted to sell Dax, Overstreet said, noting
that Beseisso is not a dog trainer or breeder. Beseisso
could not be reached for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------

A CONVERSATION WITH BILL EMBLEY, ON PUPPY
ADOLESCENTS...

Last night I had a phone conversation with Bill Embley.
Bill is a true-Texan, in every sense of the word. He likes
beer, guns and pick up trucks.

Despite these affections... Bill's not a redneck.

He's one of the smartest people I know when it comes to
analyzing human behavior and the result of that human
behavior.

So, about 2 years ago, he hired me to help him pick out a
Doberman pup.

We found a good dog for him. But like all pups (especially
Doberman pups) they are high energy, and always need to be
supervised.

What's special about Bill is that he is a stickler for
following directions. He literally did EVERYTHING I
describe in my book, 'Secrets of a Professional Dog Trainer!'
(which you can read when you become a member at:
DogProblems.com

Well, at about a year and half, something funny started
happening. Bill started calling me and bragging about
what an amazing dog "Cash" has turned into. I have a long
list of emails he's sent about what a great companion he's
become.

The last time I visited Texas, I met with Bill and "Cash"
and can confirm his progress. "Cash" is truly a great
companion dog that Bill can take anywhere.

Here's a picture of "Cash" that Bill sent me:
Cash

Anyway--we started talking about Clemenza, our Team
Dogproblems.com experimentation/mascot dog. He's now
about 10 months old, and I think that-- eventually--he's
going to be a great dog. But for now, he's got so much
energy, and always needs to have his "noisy nose" into
everything. Daily walks, training and play time take the
edge off, tremendously. But it's important to note that
adolescents is a PROCESS that all of us must endure and
work through.

(Just like those of you who have children know about the
'terrible two's!"

My point: Even when you do everything right, there's no
getting around puppy adolescents. It's just a part of
raising a great companion dog.

Here's some pictures I've taken of "Clemenza the Wonder
Dog!" in case you're wondering what we've been doing with
him:

This is Clemenza wearing the "Outward Hound" doggie back
pack I described in last week's issue of this newsletter.
The pack is holding two large rocks... to make our daily
walk more strenuous, to give Clemenza a sense that he is
"working" and to burn off some of that extra energy.

SOME PICTURES OF THE TYPE OF GRAVEL I'M USING FOR
OUR DOG'S "POTTY AREA"

I'm no longer using the small pea gravel for my kennel
runs and 'potty areas' and have instead switched to the
larger gravel (see picture). It's easier to clean, it
doesn't end up disintegrating with the rain, it doesn't
make as much of a mess, and there's not chance of a dog
eating it. So far, it's been working well.

Odd Dog Names

2006-10-26T23:33:00.000-07:00

Do You Know any Odd Dog Names?

Hi everyone Meatloaf Here! Like me it's all in the name...

You know how hard it may be to decide on which dog
or breed of dog to buy, you know how difficult it
may be to convince the members of the family that
you want to have a dog and that you will take care
of him in a proper way. Nevertheless, there is
something which may seem easy but it is not. Quite
the opposite in fact, naming your dog may turn out
to be a complete nightmare if you do not take the time
and energy to do it right.

Buying a dog can be quite painstaking, altering your
whole lifestyle can be nerve wracking at first, but
if on top of that, your dog does not look or resemble
or the effort you had to put together to buy him and
make him adapt to your way of life, the whole situation
may turn out to be rather disappointing.

Giving your dog a name requires your attention and
dedication for some time. First of all you will need
to consider that whenever your dog is called by the
name it is because he had to learn it somehow. Therefore,
it is really important to give your dog a name that is
easy for him to learn as well as for you to remember.

Extravagant and presumed of names may well end up
being called finally, puppy or doggie. You certainly do
not wan that to happen. In order to give the dog an
appropriate name you should also pay attention to his
personality, his energy, his daily routine, etc.

Among the many styles of names that you can come up
with, there are some which can be improved to become
rather funny or at least striking, not the usual, silly
or boring names.

Let's take a look at some possible alternatives:

For those dogs which have a funny appearance, names
such as Buzie, Bungee or Buccy seem to be appropriate.

For those dogs which are as energetic as a bottle of
Gatorade, a name such as Jazzy may sound ok. What about
Jeopardy, for those intriguing dogs with that puzzling
look?

Why not name him after someone famous you admire,
for example if your dog is rather fat and his rotation
is not very active, Homer would sound hilarious or even
Barney, Homer's drinking friend. With smart, intelligent
dogs, the option can be Lisa, if it is a female , it would
sound just right.

Baldy for those dogs without much hair would seem suitable,
Bingo if you are into casino games, or if you had luck in the
past and want to remember that by naming your dog that way.

Finally, Magellan, a bit of history, for those intrepid dogs
which like adventure so much, would sound a bit over the top
but funny, nevertheless.

Dog Training - Dealing With House Training Issues

The best house training uses the dogs own instincts to avoid soiling its bed to train the dog where and where not to eliminate. That is the basis behind crate training, in which the dog is confined to its crate in the absence of the owner, and den training, in which the dog is confined to a small area of the home. In essence, the crate, or the room, becomes the dog’s den. Dogs are naturally very clean animals, and they try their best to avoid using their dens as toilets.

This type of training usually works very well, both for puppies and for older dogs. Problems with this type of toilet training are usually the result of not understanding the signals the dog is sending, not being consistent with feeding times, or trying to rush the process.

While the house training process can be sped up somewhat by consistently praising the dog and rewarding it for toileting in the proper place, some dogs cannot be rushed through this important process. It is always best to house train the dog properly the first time than to go back and retrain a problem dog.

If the dog continues to soil the den area after house training, the most likely reason is that the owner has left the dog in the den for too long. Another reason may be that the den area is too large. In this case, the best strategy is to make the den area smaller or to take the dog to the toilet area more frequently.

If the dog soils the bed that has been provided in the den area, it is most likely because the owner has left the dog there for too long, and the dog had an understandable accident. Or it could be that the dog has not yet adopted this area as the bed. In addition, urinary tract infections and other medical conditions can also cause dogs to soil their beds. It is important to have the dog thoroughly checked out by a veterinarian to rule out any medical problems.

One other reason for house training accidents that many people overlook is boredom. Dogs who are bored often drink large amounts of water and therefore must urinate more frequently than you might think. If you notice your dog consuming large amounts of water, be sure to take the dog to the established toilet area more often, and provide the dog with toys and other distractions to eliminate boredom.

Boredom is the root cause of many dog behavior problems, not only house training issues. Chewing and other destructive behaviors are also often caused by boredom and separation anxiety.

Other problems with house training can occur when the dog’s den is not properly introduced. In some cases dogs can react to the den as if it is a prison or a punishment. Those dogs may exhibit signs of anxiety, such as whining, chewing and excessive barking. It is important for the dog to feel secure in its den, and to think of it as a home and not a cage.

The best way to house train a puppy or dog, or to re-house train a problem dog, is to make yourself aware of the dog’s habits and needs. Creating a healthy, safe sleeping and play area for your dog, as well as a well defined toilet area, is important for any house training program.

House training is not always an easy process, but it is certainly an important one. The number one reason that dogs are surrendered to animal shelters is problems with inappropriate elimination, so a well structured house training program can literally be a lifesaver for your dog.

Dog-Training - Leash/Collar

Brought to you by Dog-Training-Sites.com

A properly trained dog will respond properly to all the owner’s commands, and will not display anxiety, displeasure or confusion.

A good dog training program will focus on allowing the dog to learn just what is expected of it, and will use positive reinforcement to reward desired behaviors.

Dog Training - Leash/Collar

There are many different styles of dog training, and finding the one that works best for you is important for creating a dog that is a talented, loyal and faithful member of the family. All successful methods of dog training work to reinforce the relationship between dog and handler, and the foundation of any successful training program is getting the respect of the dog. Fortunately, dogs are wired by nature to seek out leaders, and to follow the direction of those leaders.

This article focuses on one of the most popular methods of dog training – the so called leash/collar style of training. Other articles will focus on the other popular style of training dogs, often called reward training or positive reinforcement.

Both leash/collar training and reward training have been around for a very long time, and they have proven their effectiveness over time. The type of training that works best will vary from dog to dog, and from breed to breed. It is important to remember that each breed of dog has its own unique qualities, reinforced by hundreds of years of selective breeding.

Of course personalities of individual dogs vary quite a bit, even within established breeds. You, as the owner of the dog, know better than anyone which style of dog training will work best, so it is important to work with the trainer you choose to achieve your goal of a willing, obedient and friendly dog.

Leash and collar training is the best way to accomplish many types of dog training, particularly in situations where the dog must have a high level of reliability. For instance, dogs that have an important job to do, such as rescue dogs, police dogs and guard dogs, generally benefit from leash and collar training.

In leash and collar training, varying degrees of force can be used, ranging from slight prompts with the lead to very harsh corrections. The amount of correction used should be appropriate to the situation, since using too much correction, or too little, will be ineffective.

In a collar and leash based dog training program, first the dog is taught a particular behavior, generally with the leash. After the dog has demonstrated that it understands the command, the leash is then used to correct the dog if it disobeys, or when it makes a mistake. The leash is the main form of controlling and communicating with the dog in leash and collar training.

When using leash and collar training, the dog must be trained to trust the handler and accept his or her directions without question. In order for the dog to be fully trained, the handler must demonstrate the ability to place the dog into a posture or position he or she does not want to take. This does not mean using force, but it does generally require some level of physical manipulation. This manipulation is most easily and safely done using the main tool of leash and collar training – the leash.

It is important for every would be dog trainer to understand that the leash is simply a tool. While the leash is an important tool in this form of training, it is important for the dog trainer to be able to eventually achieve the same results using whatever tools are at hand.

Even when the only tools at hand are the owner’s body and skill, the dog should be willing to obey. Creating a leader/follower relationship between handler and dog is still very important, and it is important to use the leash as a tool and not a crutch. A properly trained dog should be willing to obey whether the leash is present or not.

Dog Training - Basic Commands

Brought to you by Dog-Training-Sites.com

A properly trained dog will respond properly to all the owner’s commands, and will not display anxiety, displeasure or confusion.

A good dog training program will focus on allowing the dog to learn just what is expected of it, and will use positive reinforcement to reward desired behaviors.

Dog Training - Basic Commands

There are of course many reasons for owners to want a calm, obedient and faithful dog. For one thing, obedient and trained dogs are happier dogs, less likely to get into tussles with people or with other dogs. Another reason is that many communities require that the dogs living in their neighborhoods be well trained. This is especially true for many breeds thought to have aggression and behavior problems – dog breeds like pit bulls and rottweilers for instance.

And of course, training your dog well will also make he or she a much better family companion, especially in households where there are young children. Many studies have shown that proper dog training makes a big impact when it comes to cutting down the number of dog bits and other behavior problems encountered by dog owning households.

When considering training your own dog, or having someone else help you train it, there are certain basic commands that must be mastered in order for a dog to be considered truly trained. These basic commands include:

Heel – it is important that any dog learn to walk beside its owner on a loose lead, neither pulling ahead nor lagging behind

Respond to the word No – the word no is one word that all dogs must learn. Training your dog to respond to this important word can save you a ton of trouble.

Sit – Training your dog to sit on command is a vital part of any dog training program.

Stay – A well trained dog should remain where his or her owner commands, so stay is a very important command in dog training.

Down – Lying down on command is more than just a cute trick; it is a key component of any successful dog training program.

Dog training does much more than just create an obedient, willing companion. Training your dog properly actually strengthens the bond that already exists between dog and handler. Dogs are pack animals, and they look to their pack leader to tell them what to do. The key to successful dog training is to set yourself up as that pack leader.

Establishing yourself as pack leader is a very important concept for any potential dog trainer to understand. There is only one leader in every pack of dogs, and the owner must establish him or herself as the dominant animal. Failure to do so leads to all manner of behavior problems.

A properly trained dog will respond properly to all the owner’s commands, and will not display anxiety, displeasure or confusion. A good dog training program will focus on allowing the dog to learn just what is expected of it, and will use positive reinforcement to reward desired behaviors.

In addition to making the dog a good member of the community, obedience training is a great way to fulfill some of the dog’s own needs, including the need for exercise, the security that comes with knowing what is expected of it, a feeling of accomplishment and a good working relationship with its handler. Dog training gives the dog an important job to do, and an important goal to reach.

Giving the dog a job is more important than you may think. Dogs were originally bred by humans to do important work, such as herding sheep, guarding property and protecting people. Many dogs today have no important job to do, and this can often lead to boredom and neurotic behavior.

Basic obedience training, and ongoing training sessions, provide the dog with an important job to do. This is especially important for high energy breeds like German shepherds and border collies. Training sessions are a great way for these high energy dogs to use up their extra energy and simply to enjoy themselves.

Incorporating playtime into your dog training sessions is a great way to prevent both yourself and your dog from becoming bored. Playing with your dog helps to strengthen the all important bond between you – the pack leader – and your dog.
