Trainer Dog Training Quotes

Where are the dogs?" I asked. "At training," he said. "I have a friend who's an expert dog trainer, and he's giving them some stealth lessons. He used to work for a local K-9 unit." I didn't think it was in the Chihuahua genetic code to ever be stealthy.

There's a world of difference between a dog that is off the leash and a dog that is trained to be off the leash.

Training is a loop, a two-way communication in which an event at one end of the loop changes events at the other, exactly like a cybernetic feedback system; yet many psychologists treat their work as something they do to a subject, not with the subject.

You tend to fault the trainer when things don't go right." "Is someone else teaching the dog?

In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth. Man, a bit later, created the fable that "the dog, when he understands, always wants to please.

It doesn’t have to be black and white. You have a structured workout and sure that makes your life easier. You have a template to follow. But if you don’t have 45 minutes to do that workout, you can do 10 minutes of it. If you don’t have time to train, you can take your dog for a walk. There’s so many ways you can make these incremental changes that will lead to overall better habits.

Every trainer I spoke to, though advocating methods as contradictory as Koehler and pharmacological behaviorism, agreed on four basic principles. The are magic principles, and so important that training may not help dogs living without them, while some dogs living with them require little formal training. • Magic principle #1: Don’t be nuts! • Magic principle #2: Puppies are baby dogs • Magic principle #3: Exercise your dog • Magic principle #4: Give your dog a job

Clickers do help, but we need to determine exactly when they help and why. I suspect that rather than helping dogs learn faster, clickers make people better trainers. Using a clicker might help owners reward their dogs more consistently or even make owners fell like they have more control during training. We need more research to know for sure.

Hitting your puppy does nothing to help potty-train her, but what it will do is make her afraid of you. Bailey doesn’t know where she’s supposed to potty at this age, so it’s up to you to help her learn. Believe it or not, accidents in the house are people problems, not puppy problems.” “Told you,” Allison said under her breath, looking down at her hands. “Huh. So, no smacks?” Morgan shook her head vigorously. “No smacks, ever, for any reason.” Jared frowned. “Everybody’s a snowflake these days, I guess.” He leaned over in front of his puppy on the exam table. “Want to talk about your feelings, Bailey? Will that keep you from shitting in the house?” Allison laughed nervously. “Jared, stop.” “I know some excellent puppy trainers I can refer you to,” Morgan said, looking at Allison. “They can help you with potty-training.” She glanced at Jared. “Manners too.

and by moving very slowly and gradually from one stage on the hierarchy of intensity to the next, the trainer may be able to teach his/her dog to eventually exhibit little fear in the presence of even very intense stimuli.

As the famous trainer Ivan Balabanov once said, it is the ultimate form of cooperation. Developing a play relationship with your dog creates trust and opens the door to the dog’s emotions. It gives you the ability to either give the ultimate high-value reward or help him regulate himself emotionally after a scary or stressful event.

Still, nothing prepared the couple for Wendy’s ingenuity the afternoon when Richard was working at the computer and suddenly found himself on the floor. As he later learned, he had suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed. “I remember Wendy trying to drag me into the living room, and somehow I got up into my chair there,” he says. “That's when she brought me the telephone.” Wendy is trained to fetch the phone, but only when asked, and what happened next was something her trainer says she never could have taught her; When Wendy saw that Richard couldn’t dial with the hand, she had placed the telephone in, she moved it to the other hand so he could call his wife.

Some dogs will whine or bark in their crates when you disappear from their view. If this happens, do not reappear when she’s making noise, as you do not want to teach her that whining brings a reward (your return). Instead, wait until she settles down and stops whining, and then reappear quietly. Make notes in your logbook about how much time elapsed before she started whining, so that the next time you do this exercise, you can be sure to return more quickly, before she has a chance to get going. If your dog barks or whines for a very long time, you may need to bring in a trainer or behaviorist to determine if it’s the beginning of true separation anxiety, or simply part of your dog getting used to her new home. It’s

ON NOT REINVENTING THE 'OTHER DOG SPORTS' WHEEL Most people compartmentalise dog sports. Instead, I would encourage you to think of (excellent training', generally — regardless of the sport involved. You never know when a skill or a behaviour you have learnt in application to another sport, could help you in gundog training. And force-free gundog training needs this cross-fertilisation. Other dog sports are light years ahead of gundog training when it comes to having developed effective force-free training solutions. Rather than reinventing the wheel (again), it makes sense to learn as much as possible from top force-free trainers in other dog sports.

As trainers, we regularly work with food as reinforcement for desired behavior, so it truly feels strange not to use some sort of edible reward or feeding toy during training. I have found, however, that straight desensitization is incredibly powerful in separation anxiety cases. Time and time again, I have seen dogs realize success through the process of systematic desensitization. I urge you not to get stuck or create a false sense of security, as so many trainers and guardians do, by providing “comfort” food. Perhaps if we more accurately called it “distraction” food, we would rely on it less.

In gundog heelwork, you won't score points for any trotting or fanciness. In fact, People would probably laugh! Meanwhile, gundogs — especially retrievers — must maintain heel position not for minutes, but for hours. Often all day. Gundog heelwork is comparatively low energy. (Because we want the dog to conserve energy for hunting and retrieving.) And the concept of bursting-with-energy heelwork would be a bit risky to most gundog trainers: It hints at a lack of It hints at a lack of steadiness — a heinous crime. Instead, gundog trainers would rather see a lot of self-restraint at heel.

The first step is all about trust. Without this essential element in your relationship with your dog, you cannot be an effective trainer.

One of the Schnoodle’s best traits is its intelligence. The Schnoodle is an incredibly smart dog, which makes it easy to train. Who says that dogs can’t be both cute and smart? The Schnoodle is so smart because it is bred from two of the most intelligent dog breeds in the world: the Schnauzer and the Poodle. In Stanley Coren’s famed book, The Intelligence of Dogs, the author gathered information and performed tests to rank different breeds of dogs regarding their intelligence. Over time, Mr. Coren’s findings became more or less commonly accepted by most breeders, trainers, and dog enthusiasts as a viable tool to measure dog intelligence.

I’ve tested half of them. And of the number I’ve tested I have disqualified one pit bull because of aggressive tendencies. They have done extremely well. They have a good temperament. They are very good with children.” It can even be argued that the same traits that make the pit bull so aggressive toward other dogs are what make it so nice to humans. “There are a lot of pit bulls these days who are licensed therapy dogs,” the writer Vicki Hearne points out. “Their stability and resoluteness make them excellent for work with people who might not like a more bouncy, flibbertigibbet sort of dog. When pit bulls set out to provide comfort, they are as resolute as they are when they fight, but what they are resolute about is being gentle. And, because they are fearless, they can be gentle with anybody.” Then which are the pit bulls that get into trouble? “The ones that the legislation is geared toward have aggressive tendencies that are either bred in by the breeder, trained in by the trainer, or reinforced in by the owner,” Herkstroeter says. A mean pit bull is a dog that has been turned mean, by selective breeding, by being cross-bred with a bigger, human-aggressive breed like German shepherds or Rottweilers, or by being conditioned in such a way that it begins to express hostility to human beings. A pit bull is dangerous to people, then, not to the extent that it expresses its essential pit bull-ness but to the extent that it deviates from it. A pit-bull ban is a generalization about a generalization about a trait that is not, in fact, general. That’s a category problem. 4.

At the end of the day, we are trainers and our focus is on the behaviour of an animal. Vets, nutritionists, dieticians and breeders will be able to provide a wealth of additional and important information when it comes to types of foods and ideal weights. What we can advise on are the best ways to offer your dog her food to ensure she doesn't become fussy, and enjoys meal time and food-based training sessions.

There is a parable that allows us to understand better the relationship between the government and non-government sector. Imagine a small community comprising 100 dogs. Each morning they set off into the field to dig for bones. If there are enough bones for all the dogs buried in the field then they would each succeed in their search no matter how fast or dexterous they were. Now imagine that one day the 100 dogs set off for the field as usual, but this time they find there are only 90 bones buried. As a matter of accounting, at least ten dogs will return home bone-less. Now imagine that the government decides that this is unsustainable and decides that it is the skills and motivation of the bone-less dogs that is the problem. They are not skilled enough. They are idlers, skivers and just need to ‘bone-seek’ harder. So, a range of dog psychologists and dog trainers are called in to work on the attitudes and skills of the bone-less dogs. The dogs undergo assessment and are assigned case managers. They are told that unless they undergo training they will miss out on their nightly bowl of food that the government provides to them while bone-less. They feel despondent. Anyway, after running and digging skills are imparted to the bone-less dogs, things start to change. Each day, as the 100 dogs go in search of 90 bones, we start to observe different dogs coming back bone-less. The composition of the bone-less queue changes. However, on any particular day, there are still 100 dogs running into the field and only 90 bones buried there. At least ten dogs will always return bone-less. The only way for all dogs to get a bone is for the government to increase the number of bones.

Any time you ask a dog to do anything, you are putting pressure on the dog. It does not matter if you are the most positive trainer in the universe; any social interaction puts some measure of pressure on the social beings involved.

PARTNER, PENTA, AND FERAL FATE, TWO BLACK LABS AND A BELGIAN Malinois, stood at the foot of Crownsville’s grounds, taking in a massive scent pool. The hospital’s remaining 485 acres still stretch out of sight. For dogs trained to find cadavers and human tissue, this was a gold mine. “It’s kind of like going into a disaster. It’s a multiple-fatalities disaster so it smells everywhere,” their trainer told me. At just nine months old, Feral Fate was the youngest and least experienced on the team that day. Together, the three took pause to acclimate to the powerful odor.

What was most compelling to me was that on the training field, whenever a dog was having difficulty with an exercise, a good Schutzhund trainer always worked the problem down to the insecurity or the element of confusion that was invariably the root cause. Very often a dog’s difficulties were shown to be caused by its handler.

The article concludes by describing a phone conversation Ms. Holt had with Mathilde DeCagney, the trainer of Moose, the Jack Russell Terrier who played Eddie on the TV show Frasier. [Kiley] has nothing wrong with him,” she said, her French accent softening the sharp words. “It’s all you.” I winced, but I knew she was right. She listed the reasons: Kiley is a working dog without a job; he’s a social dog without enough companionship; he’s a smart dog without enough mental stimulation; and he’s a hyper dog without enough exercise. In other words, Kiley has needs!

I expand on this “fifty rewards a day” protocol by giving my clients information about how to be successful behavior engineers. I suggest that they “Get SMART” —that is, that they practice “See, Mark And Reward Training.” Those three components—seeing good behavior, marking good behavior (often with a click or a “yes”) and rewarding good behavior—are the core competencies of successful trainers. This trio of skills comprises the technique called “capturing” (or “scanning” by some marine-mammal trainers): capitalizing on the numerous desirable behaviors an animal performs over the course of an average day by: 1) noticing them, 2) pointing them out to the animal, and 3) then giving the animal a reward in order to increase the strength of those behaviors. We make efforts to reinforce behaviors we like so those behaviors become more frequent, more intense and longer.
