THIS IS AWESOME! My favorite dog trainer and dog whisperer of all time has just released a free video online explaining how to eliminate 94% of all unwanted behavior in ANY dog. Her name is Krista Cantrell and I absolutely LOVE the way she teaches. Click on the video to watch. You'll be glad you did...

This is a video of me working on some ideas for a double dog routine with Splash and Tug. Splash is 2 years old and Tug is about 9-10 months. I have had Tug for 5 months now, and he is simply brilliant, and really shows how only using Positive reinforcement really WORKS! I do not use any form of positive punishment with my dogs. Meaning they can never get anything wrong…

Does your dog react to people, dogs, cats, or things by barking, lunging, or growling at them?

Well, this game can help keep your dog from reacting and it will help build a positive association to all those scary, awful things that your dog is either unsure of or does not like. This game will help change the emotional response and how your dog feels about those things. Your dog say, “Hmmmm yummy treats appear every time a scary dog does, cool; I hope more dogs show up.”

Have a wonderful day and if you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Thanks for watching and do not forget to subscribe.

My wild Border Collie “Buzz” performs his favourite demo showing how many ‘driven’ dogs are created through bad dog training habits. Buzzy is the subject of my book “Shaping Success” (Dog Writers of America Choice for Dog Training Book of the Year in 2005).

The mother of these puppies was abandoned about a week before giving birth. She was a German Shepherd, and unfortunately after giving birth to eight puppies (four boys, four girls), she died shortly after. A neighbor found them, put them in her laundry basket, and took them into my work, a vet hospital.

I hadn’t the slightest clue how to raise a litter of puppies, so a more knowledgeable co-worker of mine took them in for the first three days, at the same time teaching me a bit on how to care for them. After she lost one of the males overnight, I offered to take them all in, but another co-worker wanted three. Long story short, I took four and the three remaining puppies were not taken care of properly. They weren’t fed regularly and were literally forgotten about several times. When I was able to finally get my hands on them to be reunited with their littermates, they were starving. They all ate a big meal that night and slept soundly.

The next day, the male of the three abandoned puppies wasn’t acting right. Again, long story short, we discovered he developed terrible pneumonia and had to be euthanized the next morning. He declined so fast that there was just no way to save him. Watching him suffer is something I will never forget, and something I will never forgive the people who supposedly “took care of him” those two days.

I am so grateful the two females lived, as our four continued to thrive. Unfortunately, they soon all came down with the beginning stages of pneumonia. After several treatments of fluids and weeks of antibiotics, these tough little puppies pulled through like champs. We were prepared to lose them all they looked so terrible.

With that, this video is their first four weeks of life.

Leda’s 1st time playing the 2 Cone Game. We’ve been working with 1 Cone for a few days with great success and enthusiasm so I thought it might be fun to introduce her to some double cone fun!
I do not post all of my training sessions on YT, only a small fraction of them as it is not convenient to set up a tripod several times a day.
Leda worked many , many sessions with great delight on 1 cone before I went to two. I do not want to do too much too soon, she has to absolutely LOVE the game we are playing together or any progression is a no go.

Sorry for the darkness, this was later in the day & sun wasn’t shining so well, plus the lights were off in the training building.

Leda is 13 weeks old.
