HOW AND WHEN TO USE A DOG WHISTLE FOR TRAINING

Image
A dog whistle can be a great training tool for a dog, if used properly. It is extremely distinct, silent to others, and the high frequency cannot be easily replicated. As a result, hunting, herding, and police dogs are commonly trained using a whistle. The reasoning behind it is that this high frequency it emits can travel far greater distances than a voice, and is less likely to scare wildlife or alert humans. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" To eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE! Remember, without proper training, the dog whistle is just another sound in the world. Just like with other sounds, they will become desensitized to it and learn to ignore it over time, if not used properly! If you are trying to train your dog to stop barking, blow the whistle and wait for your dog to re-focus on you. Once you have gotten their attention from blowing the whistle, follow up immediately with the desired command. R

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF DOG CLICKER TRAINING

Image
  This method is a form of operational training, which uses a clicking sound to control the dog’s behavior and train it. In simpler terms, clicker training requires the owner to carry a plastic clicking toy with them and every time the dog does the right thing the clicker is clicked and a treat is delivered to the good boy/girl. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" To eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE! If you do not want to carry a clicker with you, you can always use verbal cues and sounds to inform your dog of its desirable behavior.

Dogs learn well by association and clicker training is a good way of associating the right behavior with the click. Here are a few reasons why clicker training might be the right method for you.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DOG TRAINING AND BOARDING

Image
Training a dog can be a difficult process for any new owner. It requires a lot of time, energy, and patience. For a lot of people, dedicating hours to teaching a dog how to be obedient every day is simply not possible. Luckily, dog training and boarding facilities are available.

Depending on the particular program, it may be at the trainer's house or a kennel facility.

During this time, your dog will be taught the basics of being a good dog. It's a lot like summer camp for kids.

THE PROS AND CONS OF INVISIBLE FENCES FOR DOGS

Image
Fencing prevents a dog from becoming a neighborhood nuisance, but there are other issues at hand. Keeping a dog appropriately confined keeps him safe by preventing mishaps associated with free roaming. Fenced-in dogs are less likely to be hit by vehicles, have fewer aggressive interactions with other dogs, have decreased exposure to contagious diseases, and are less available to pet thieves. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" To eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE! Although there are less expensive versions of traditional fences, neighborhood codes often specify the types of construction materials that are allowed.

Invisible electric fences are often less costly even when professionally installed.  While traditional fences work well on flat or gently sloping yards, invisible fencing works on almost any terrain. Invisible fences can s

HOW TO GET YOUR DOG TO LISTEN TO YOU

Image
When your dog won’t listen to your commands, it can be frustrating — and it can also be dangerous. After all, this kind of communication can help keep your dog out of trouble, preventing him from running out into a busy street or eating something he shouldn’t. It can also help keep you sane by helping you manage problem behaviors. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" To eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams.

HOW TO TRAIN A DOG WHO DOESN’T LIKE HIS FOOD/TREATS

Image
I like to use food to train dogs whenever we can for many reasons. First, food is what’s known as a primary reinforcer. That’s a fancy way of saying “the dog needs it to survive.” Think about it, dogs (or us, for that matter) can’t live without food. So it’s pretty important to a dog. Second, food is usually a really nice reward for a dog. It tastes good. It smells good. They like it and will work hard to earn another tasty tidbit. Develops your Dog's "Hidden Intelligence" To eliminate bad behavior and Create the obedient, well-behaved pet of your dreams. CLICK HERE! However, some dogs are picky, like my dog. He refuses chicken. Won’t take a hot dog. Won’t even consider a dog treat. Which limits my options for using food as a reinforcer. I mean, if he doesn’t like it, it’s not a reinforcer. Period. I’ve found that he does like cheese. It’s relatively cheap when bought in the econo-saver blocks and it lasts over a week in the refrigerator. It’s easy for me to handle — not
