Colorado Dog Training

Posts Tagged ‘dog training techniques’

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.

Giles had quite a few flaws that we had to control and one particular issue was house training, after reading the Ultimate House Training Guide again we had a much clearer idea of  what needed to be done and the techniques on how to get there.

This handy manual is a complete guide to what’s arguably one of the most widespread, challenging and frustrating issue faced by any and all dog-owners: house training.

So after several hours spent trawling through the online opinions on dog training techniques, it was sigh of relief that I stumbled across this online book entitled “The Ultimate House Training Guide?, by Martin Oliver. As the title suggests, literally all aspects of the subject are covered, and in a manner both chatty and educational – it’s kind of like having a friendly conversation with a knowledgeable canine behaviorist (with the added benefit of being able to refresh your understanding of the matter at any given time, simply by scrolling back to the relevant section!) plus reading through i didn’t feel you had to be experienced in dog training and obedience training to see that this guy knows what he’s talking about (and did I mention he’s a vet?)

Some of the topics the course goes over are:

Common house training problems – this is particularly handy! A huge variety of issues are covered, from territorial marking to poop-eating; and on top of that, each problem comes with a case study, which helps you to put the information into context.

Health-related problems -  are covered in some depth. There’s a section on congenital problems (problems your dog was born with); a section on the disease-related problems that develop later in life; and a section on other problems related to house training, like inappropriate outdoor elimination, or lawn-burn from urination.

Plus Top Ten Tips for hassle-free house training – which is essentially a recap of the most helpful and necessary attitude adjustments, practical tips, and useful nuggets of general knowledge which will come in most handy in your dog’s training.
