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.

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.

http://www.sitmeanssit.com Train your dog using a wire crate. In part 2, I show a few more things you can do but I am using a different dog and it’s shown for a different dog sport that deals with protection and police dogs with a Belgian Malinois. You can see how sports can correlate as part 1 dealt with a similar thing, but with a Labrador Retriever. You can adapt this crate and Sit Means Sit dog training to anything.
Puppy trainiing is always exciting and can be very interesting as well. This is a 9 wk old Belgian Malinois puppy named ‘Simon’ that is owned by Dave Skoletsky of Sit Means Sit Dog Training and he is having fun retrieving a hula hoop in this video.
This video shows a police k9 demonstration of a dog taken in and out of commands very, very quickly. http://www.sitmeanssit.com/police/k9/school Fred Hassen of Sit Means Sit Police K9 school is seen here at the 2010 Invictus Law Dog International Police dog seminar demonstrating his dog doing multiple tasks at once while still maintaining much desire and spirit.
