Pratt asked:


I want to get a dog from the Humane Society and will opt towards an easily trainable dog and/or one who is already trained. If he is already trained, what will I personally have to do to so he responds to me? Also, what exactly are the things I would train him? Basically, if he listens to me and can understand the commands, he will be able to understand most of what I want him to do, right?

taylor asked:


i am 16 and i am 100% sure that i want to be a dog trainer but nobody will give me a chance. i grew up around dogs and i am wanting to find someone that will allow me to learn hands on with them. i am willing to do anything i have one more year of school left.
i am also planning to go to collage for dog training. i would like to have some hands on experience before i go. it would really mean a lot to me if someone would do this for me.
thank you,

What’s the best way for dog obedience training?

aageezen asked:


It seems like the positive training methods only get you so far. It’s a great method to communicate with the dog - have him think and problem solve. But in presence of distractions and other temptations, it doesn’t necessarily instill reliable obedience.

Please suggest methods, advice, books or courses. Thanks!

MG asked:


I will be training a 5 month old lab how to sit, walk on a leash without tugging, drop it, down, and house breaking her. I will be doing this for about 8 hours a day for 5 days. This is my first time doing anything like this, but i have worked with dogs for 7 years now.

Any ideas on how much I should charge for the week or per hour?
Keep in mind that this isnt a consitant 8 hours it’s dogsitting and doing these things along the way.

I am currently looking to get my dog training license, and I don’t know if I just retarded but I can’t find any information on how get it anywhere.

I’m just trying to figure out where to get it, the cost, all that nonsense.
Sorry, I guess I meant my business license. I would like to start my own pet care/training business. I assume I need a license for that…

marmenta44 asked:


I only got my first two dogs 6 months ago and have really enjoyed transforming them into generally good citizens and am even interested in perhaps making it a career. How do I go about becoming a professional dog trainer? And maybe even walking dogs?
For clarification, I want to train for good behavior and solve behavioral issues

Dog training class requiring “training collar” - what do you think?

December 17th, 2009

a gal and her dog asked:


They haven’t met my dog, and didn’t specify what kind of training collar was required. My dog is rather sensitive to corrections, except on-leash ones.

What do you think?
The class is intermediate obedience, and my dog isn’t too sensitive to light corrections (quick tug on the leash, verbal “no” corrections). I took her for a test run with the choke chain (it was pictured in the brochure with correct instructions) last night and she was fine. If I can find the Martingale we used before I lost it, I think I’ll go with that. Thanks everyone!

HeatherE asked:


Where is the best place to take your dog for Dog training? I have lots of family with lots of animals and they all say something different. Should I get a one on one trainer that will come to my house? Or should I go somewhere like Pets Mart and take the 6 week class? Thanks All nice comments welcome
