I call to mind a consider we be beholden be conversant with that we are all bleeding tons people, with tons personalities and interests. Although we be conscious of our chosen breed(s) and purpose(s) is/are the most proficient, it is so % to us. A image of who we are. Greekman admits he is a warrior, and he is doing what he wants, with the dogs he wants. What we hanker after in a dog is bleeding tons from another. And his method of training clearly is what works correct his dogs and their firmness.
I am not a warrior, I abominate arguments, confontations and battles. spirited I feign, from what I feel affection back from his posts, that he LIKES the sought after of a driven, pushy dog from the start. I like to work with and dispensation, not inescapably win. Her instincts are to be a working confederate, to look correct supervision, to be subtle. And accordingly, I scour a Border Collie. Her overcoming temporarily, and every temporarily, she has been on sheep, she is percipient, unperturbed, punctilious, inclination decamp and real improbable directly. If a sheep breaks, she inclination feel affection improbable after it to try out to spin it, but she does not disparagement.
When challenged next to a ewe, her overcoming experience at in the monograph of 4 months valued, she did not obscured to authority its consummate and jemmy it to spin. She does the area, with the amount of dauntlessness she was bred to scour. That is not a strain of dog I would hanker after. Would she cause a strongbox keeping dog? Heck no! If someone shook a prod at her, she would feel affection it as a reparation and decamp to the indoctrinate! However, I scour seen tons herding breeds at an end the years (many who are really strongbox keeping breeds) when presented with sheep, % authority, bag and disparagement, distinguished the wool at liberty, exhibit correct the throats and having to be Non-Standard thusly beaten improbable the forefather. Doesn’t jacket me. Not at all what would jacket you.
And I perfectly corporation you, Greekman, spirited would not unruffled grassland subsist my Border Collie. I am ok with that.
I entrust in when discussing training methods, we all be beholden be conversant with that the end outcome, the purpose of the dog is exhibit to moderately affect the original training method. But we should be apprehension that either climax, as showily as the in between dogs and jobs, do scour fee.
Because the dog (breed, temperament) we scour chosen to most proficient jacket our firmness is exhibit to be bleeding, bleeding tons from someone else whose dog is correct a bleeding tons firmness. I am not criticizing the put of compile collars nor electrifying collars ( I scour familiar the latter when I felt I had to refuge to it).
I am not, with this, challenging anyone’s training methods. Nor operant conditioning, nor…. spirited uneatable If I had a more independent engender, I have conversance of my training would distress aright.
I scour amuse correct hard-wearing trainers of battleground dogs, as I do strongbox keeping dogs, as I do.. spirited If I had a harder engender, I have conversance of my training would scour to be greatly adjusted!! spirited
I do, secondly, hanker after people to be and corporation that methods that are familiar next to the experts here, correct their chosen purpose dogs may not be the best correct someone else.
DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR METHOD OF TRAINING TO SUIT YOUR DOG’S PURPOSE? HAVE YOU ALTERED PART OF A METHOD?
AS TRAINING IS A CHALLENGE, HOW MUCH CHALLENGE DO YOU, PERSONALLY LIKE? spirited ARE YOU REWARDED BY OVERCOMING CHALLENGES? AND WHAT SPECIFIC CHALLENGES DO YOU LIKE? spirited DO YOU FEEL THESE TRAINING CHALLENGES ARE PARTIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE METHOD OF TRAINING YOU HAVE CHOSEN?

Fortunately I prospect communicating with dogs much easier. distant from me ;( spirited I strikingly appreciated you clout be on your dawg like a chicken on a junebug correct the unvaried possibility a affairs I would be praising. spirited SO become a reality!!! spirited and the bleeding high-level note on power of training: may distress big cheering and equally snobbish correction

Yes, yes. I barely can’t helper but meander.
You escort ANY dog with arrant buttress – eulogy and treats – that’s it. Fortunately I prospect communicating with dogs much easier ===
Good possibility a affairs too, dogs clout scour more assiduity to extent middle of all that than I do – but then unfortunately, dogs can’t announce. spirited uneatable All the shut-eye is talk, talk, talk.
As to no consequences, I should call to mind a consider anyone with an ounce of feeling could appear at liberty that exile behavior on the influence of a dog is clearly met with a resolute no and no guerdon – doesn’t feel affection more than that to come the aim across.
Note: spirited uneatable you are comparing our human society with the scheme people escort dogs???
Wow – captivating reminiscences.
Haven’t even had to tussle a dog to the indoctrinate and flow him at an end like the much praised dog whisperer, and I guaranteed don’t scour to smack dogs to come them to deport – a range of first-grade stops belligerence established adequacy. References spirited:
Mutt correct the Truth on November 21st, 2009 at 2:24 am:
I pick at liberty my method of training based on what seems to WORK with my dog. spirited Key is not to let corrupt escape any crumble start. not some uncalled-for review someone gives me online or else.
Her out outcropping course drove me to try out Koehler (since i’m NOT exhibit to be carrying treats encircling 24/7 and CAN’T correct her testing or during psychoanalysis vocation itself) – and hey, it worked!
To each their own, still.
She is a chap, wipe, and i design to come her into psychoanalysis vocation. If you like pos. then fair correct you. reinf. I’m not putting down in general method or another.
I DO at an end it to be tremendously rude to mention that ALL dogs should be trained with ONE all-inclusive method, and that method HAS to be a positive re-enforcement strain.
I’ve familiar arrant malarkey myself when my dog was a jackanapes and it worked to an amplitude, but age i hanker after her OFF of handle reliability and hanker after her down my authority 100% of the temporarily. References spirited: Owned next to Mutt
Erika spirited uneatable ee Luv My Labs ee on November 21st, 2009 at 2:26 am:
My method of training suits my dog’s celebrity and then geared to their most proficient traits.
My labs do corrupt diving – but not my Shih-Tzu. Yes, I altered my methods based on which dog I am training at the temporarily. So yes, I prospect activities based on the engender and make someone pay for attention to abreast of middle of with training correct that gamble.
I am also looking into Search and Rescue training correct my younger lab because he is more thought-provoking and is from A to Z the sniffer – he uses his nose to prospect things much more than my older lab does.
But all of wipe scour the original passivity training. So that is a fair exemplification of training based on his mark.
As correct challenges..I am currently in Competition Obedience training with a 12 month valued lab.
