Most dogs are naturally loving animals, and they want to please their owners, but things like walking on a leash without pulling, house training, or keeping barking under control are not behaviors that come naturally. This is why dog obedience training is so important for all dogs, no matter what size, breed, or temperament.
Obedience training for dogs requires that you form a partnership with your pet: you have to be willing to participate and work at it too. It does take a lot of work and determination, but the upside is that you form a great bond with your dog. He will learn to trust you and communicate with you through this process. Dog obedience training focuses on five key commands: sit, stay, come, down, and drop-it. These commands are vital to your dog’s everyday behavior and can make your daily interactions fun and stress-free.
Because dog training can be overwhelming and you may not know where to start, here are some tips and reminders to get you started: Continue Reading »

If you are the proud owner of a new dog or puppy or you just feel that your dog could use some more training, you may be wondering how to approach the teaching process. Many people overlook the use of dog training collars because they feel they are unsafe and inhumane. In fact, these collars can be invaluable tools and can help you train your dog more quickly and efficiently.
Keith Benson is the general manager of Triple Crown Dog Academy, a premier dog training, boarding and event center in Hutto, Texas. He says of training collars for dogs:
“[They] are very safe and effective when used in the right manner. With a good training program and understanding of proper use, the collars become very easy to use and very effective.” The proper use of dog training collars is key to both their efficacy and their safety. Proper use involves:
* Having a collar that is the right size the fits correctly on your dog.
* Using dog training collars in conjunction with other training methods, such as rewards and praising.

Originally Published here: Electric Dog Training Collars
Electric dog training collars are controversial. They have a small electronic device attached to the collar through which the owner can use to remotely send a mild shock to the dog to modify behaviors like digging, chewing, jumping, or barking. Many people think that training with electric dog collar is inhumane because of the shock. To dispel that idea, the “shock” on modern electric dog training collars is an unpleasant correction, more akin to a vibration or vibrating sound than an electric shock. Advances in technology have made these collars safe and effective.
When you are in the process of training your dog, electric training collars can be very beneficial. They work by having the dog associate a behavior, like barking, with an unpleasant side effect. Soon, they learn to avoid the behavior in order to avoid the unpleasant sound or sensation. For those people considering using electric dog training collars, safety is the first priority. Here are some tips to make using the collar a positive experience for everyone. Continue Reading »
Originally Published here: Remote Dog Training Collars
Opinions of remote dog training collars range from enthusiastic supporters to bitter opponents. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that these collars are also referred to as electric shock collars and work by administering either a shock or a high-pitched sound to your dog when you are in the training process. Remote dog training collars, however, are proven to be safe and effective when used properly.
Remote shock dog training collars work by allowing the trainer or owner to administer a shock from the handheld remote to the receiver in the collar. Many people object to the word “shock,” and it does seem scary. Is this necessary? A harsh, painful shock is definitely not necessary, nor is it part of the remote dog training collar. The “shock” that the dog feels is no worse (and can even be less severe) than that which you receive from static electricity. Here, shock is a misnomer because it is more of a correction, meant to be unpleasant but by no means painful.
Here are some ways to make sure you are using your remote dog training collar safely and effectively: Continue Reading »

Originally Published here: Pinch Collars for Dog Training
Pinch collars, also known as prong collars, are one of many controversial tools for dog training. The collar is made of interlocking steel links which pinch down on the dog’s neck when pressure is applied to the leash. It works on the same principle as a choke collar. Are these pinch collars for dog training humane? Do they work?
First, the most important question for dog owners - are pinch collars safe? The pinch felt by the dog is meant to mimic one a mother dog would give her baby when he misbehaved. Mama dogs often give a little nip to the neck that is gentle enough not to hurt but nevertheless presents a reminder that her baby needs to behave himself. The safety question depends on the trainer and the dog.
There is the risk of injury to your pet if you put the collar on incorrectly, as is true for any dog collar. To ensure a proper fit and to eliminate the possibility of injury, the collar should have the appropriate size prong. This is what is meant by “size” when you are thinking of buying a pinch collar for dog training. A small prong, obviously, is meant for a small dog.
You also need to consider the “fit,” or how the pinch collar fits around your dog’s neck. You should have enough about a half of finger width space between the collar and your dog’s neck. If you think it’s more humane to loosen it, you are actually harming your dog. If it is loose, you have to administer, three or four times as many tugs and this can cause the collar to wear at your dog’s fur and irritate his neck.
Another complaint about dog pinch collars for training is that Continue Reading »

While it does take time and effort, these great dog obedience tips will help get you on your way to great behavior:
* Be consistent. This is one of the most important tips for dog training. Your dog needs to be corrected every time he engages in an undesirable behavior.

* Keep it short. Dogs have very short attention spans – with ten minutes being the maximum that they can focus. Keep your training sessions short and frequent to make sure your dog doesn’t get bored or distracted. This will give you optimal results.
* Crate train. One of the most at home dog training tips is to crate train. Dogs like to feel safe and secure in their own place, and crates let them do this. The benefits are enormous: Continue Reading »

Originally Published here: Dog Barking Collar
Dogs bark to communicate with us – maybe they have to go outside; perhaps they see another animal; it could be that they have spotted an unfamiliar person near your home. This type of barking is beneficial for both dogs and their owners. It lets them “tell” you what they want or need, and you can respond. Sometimes, however, the barking can become excessive and unnecessary. About one-third of dog owners struggle to deal with extreme barking. If you find yourself in this situation, a dog barking collar can be man’s second best friend.
A dog barking collar, or more accurately, an anti barking collar, is an effective tool in teaching your dog acceptable barking. Most importantly for dog owners, they are also safe and humane. Your pet won’t be harmed when using one of these dog barking collars. How do they work, and which is right for you?
