Dog Basic Skills

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Dog Training

The laying is a trick, which causes greatest difficulties for many novice trainers. Often one can observe now, when the dog is rather good in the basic skills such as moving side by side, landing, staying. Self-control progresses here, all is ok with Oporto, but the dog keeps on refusing lie. Many books describe how to accustom the dog to the lying. They are based on the use of food motivation (food method of dog training the mechanical action (mechanical method) or a combination of mechanics and food stimuli (contrast method).

While they are growing and maturing, it often happens that the dogs try to “check you for lice” when your pet is trying to verify the strength of relationships and where possible to correct them, naturally, at its own discretion. This is especially true for males, whose nature makes them take steps to obtain the status of the leader from time to time. The first thing that a dog begins in such a case – it ceases to lie down. If you can to fit your pet’s only with voice in any situation, this is one of the clearest indications that you are perfectly controlling the dog (I mean, of course, if speak about a trained animal).

Dog Training Instructional DVD

Posted by: admin  :  Category: Dog Training

Lindsay Stordahl, of ThatMutt.com, recently reviewed my instructional DVD set Natural Dog Training: The Fundamentals. Lindsay is a professional dog-walker (and blogger), so I was extremely interested to hear if she was able to start incorporating Natural Dog Training into what she does with her dog (or the other dogs she walks). We have a shared fondness for mutts, so I had high hopes.

I think that Lindsay wrote a very balanced review – particularly for someone who (like many) had never heard of Natural Dog Training before seeing my DVDs (and browsing the site here).  It’s definitely a good read, if for no other reason than to find out why she thinks “this Neil guy sounds a bit nuts”.
