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...

http://www.sitmeanssit.com This was taken at a ‘live’ event in Pueblo Colorado with Fred Hassen. Various dogs were brought out of the audience, never before seen by any of the Sit Means Sit staff in attendance, and in front of everyone remarkable changes were seen using the Sit Means Sit remote training system.

This video shows the beginning of one of the demonstration where a family was pulled out of the audience to feel the Sit Means Sit remote dog training collar. We always pull people of various ages out, so people can just see that it is adjustable and everyone feels things differently as do individual dogs. There is no such thing as a ‘high’ level, or a ‘low’ level as you will see demonstrated in this video. What is ‘high’ to one person, may not be ‘high’ to someone else etc.

Children are usuallly brought out because they have no preconceived notion of what they are about to feel, so you usually get a fairer analysis. Sit Means Sit dog training is the largest and most successful U.S. based dog training company in the history of the United States and does demonstrations daily in public settings.

Training high drive dogs- clicker dog training

The dogs featured in this video belong to my friend youtube user: alomaro

There is a myth going around that is not founded in science, but is mere opinion, that high drive dogs need to be physically and psychologically intimidated in order to be trained. By using Progressive Reinforcement Training which involves no forms of physical or psychological intimidation, you can train high drive dogs the right level of arousal as well as reliable behaviors, and how to be friendly and calm around other dogs and people.

To learn exactly what Progressive Reinforcement is go here:

The Need for a New Term:

A type of animal training exists that involves no forms of intimidation, confrontation, violence, reprimands, or domination.

This non-violent type of training has gone under many names: “Clicker Training,” “Positive Training,” “Positive Reinforcement Training,” and “Reward Training,” among others. There is a need for a more specific, more accurate, more inspirational term. The above terms have been used so loosely in recent years that they have lost their original meanings. How has this happened? Trainers who use compulsion methods may incorporate a clicker (a noise maker to mark desirable behavior) and refer to themselves as a “Clicker Trainers.” Trainers who use painful or intimidating methods may include food or toy rewards in their training and refer to themselves as “Reward Trainers” or “Positive Reinforcement Trainers.” It is already possible that a member of the public may seek the guidance of a trainer who claims to be “Positive,” only to find out that this trainer routinely uses physical violence towards animals.

Progressive Reinforcement Training is a training system that is not only humane, compassionate, and reliable, but is also based on the latest scientific studies. Because this form of training constantly incorporates the latest and most reliable scientific findings, and because it furthers an evolutionary progress toward a more harmonious relationship between humans and the animals who live with them, it shall be referred to as Progressive Reinforcement Training.

Progressive Reinforcement Training essentially means teaching animals by rewarding desired behaviors and excluding the intentional use of physical or psychological intimidation.
