Colorado Dog Training

Posts Tagged ‘Colorado Dog Training’

Having to go through the exciting experience of dog training myself, it was the people I met, courses I found and personal experiences with Giles that promoted me to create  Colorado Dog Training, along with that i wanted to give others a head start by providing this information so they don’t have to start from scratch like I did.

There are so many systems and so many different ideas regarding different dog training techniques – it’s hard to know who to trust and what to believe.

After having success with Giles and growing a better understanding of the theories behind dog training, here is what I personally believe to be crucial, and will always strive for if I find another dog or when friends or family ask:

• First create a happy environment for your dog and have them well socialized
• Build the relationship between yourself and you dog, one that is based on mutual respect and trust
• Make sure you have confidence in your dog and and have control over your dogs in any situation
• To work with your dogs natural drives and instincts.
• Absolutely no cruelty or harsh “old school” training techniques. This is a sure fire way to break a dogs spirit.

Hi Lyndsey here,

I decided to start this post Colorado Dog Training to explain the experience I have had with the training of my 1.5yr old black and tan beagle (Giles Eugene ), I may have gone about things incorrectly to start with but today I’m so proud of Giles and myself as to how far we have come.

I adopted Giles when he was around 1 and he had been handed in by the previous owner for an unknown reason, we were walking though the shelter at it was meant to be. We signed all the papers and we had him home within two days.

Now I was expecting there to be a few imperfections with Giles and that i may have to find a Colorado dog training center, but I had no idea what was coming:

• Digging
• Barking
• Chewing
• Pulling during walks
• Peeing/marking (where ever he felt comfortable)
• Slight aggression (we called it mood swings)

All in all we knew this was going to be hard work, but I had no idea about training a dog, obedience training or even if there was a difference between puppy training or dog training. All I knew is I had to find out.

There were many dog training techniques we could have used, and over here there was plenty of options, with different Colorado dog training schools – on leash, off leash training, day cares etc and I’ll explain my experiences with them. But what I found out help me most was that I needed to understand what MY dog was being taught just as much as he did for when we were home or walking down the road, and that is something I will recommend to everyone.
