How does a whistle work with dog training? A silent one or a “normal” one?

How does one use the whistle when training a dog? To tell him “what to do” (blowing the whistle, and saying the command come, for example) or “what NOT to do”, lets say if the dog is nipping your trousers legs and you want him to stop?

Are dog training (shock) collars safe and do they work?

January 1, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Questions

I am considering using a training collar to teach my dog boundaries. I need to be able to keep her off leash, but she runs off if I let her off the leash. A fence, even an invisible fence, is out of the question as its not my house. I’ve tried teaching her boundaries for the last 5 months but it is not working well. She won’t respond to “come” unless she’s in the mood. I want to use a shock collar but I worry it may be inhumane. Are they effective and are they safe to use?

We have a 7 month old beagle/coonhound mix and going to beginner classes for training.

The trainer said we should exercise her alot before going to class. We don’t want to tire her out too much…but will try more next week….see if it helps.

Are there any other suggestions besides tire the dog out?

Thanks

Am I the only one who got ripped off with Nancy Richards’ dog training institute?

December 28, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Questions

She promises all the answers to really good issues with obedience training for cairn terriers and dogs in general but she didn’t have ANYTHING anybody that’s ever seen a dog wouldn’t already know! I am constantly being bombarded with advertisements for the very information I paid her for! She brags a 120 Day “no questions asked” refund policy but won’t refund or answer emails. Am I the only one who fell for this scam?

Is it true that some treats work better than others when training a dog?

December 24, 2009 by admin  
Filed under Questions

I’ve made progress with my dog training this evening. I got him to lay down. Twice. And he is finally going outside when I tell him to instead of pouncing on me. Yes!

Anyways, I’ve read (or maybe seen on a show) once that strips of meat work better when training a dog than biscuits. Is this true?

Thanks in advance! :D

Progress! :D !!!
Thank you all very, very much! I’ll definitely take these with me next time that I go to town! :D
