WHOSE DOG IS IT?
Please note that WE do not train the puppies or teens - YOU train them! This training is designed to show YOU how to train in the areas that matter most to pet owners: barking, biting, house training (aka "potty" training), walking on a loose leash.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR
Also - our training is designed primarily for dogs that live most of the time inside the house. If your dog is kept outside 24/7 then this kind of training may not be suitable for you or your dog. There are many others offering dog training in KL - two nearby centers are here: G-Pet and K9 Academy
Dima has many more examples of "afterwards":
From the Good Boy Dog School UK, run by the Russian dog trainer, Dima Yeremenko, MSc.
1) NO BREAKFAST for your dog (water, yes of course)
2) Bring GREAT TREATS (meaning something your dog is REALLY excited about - chicken, sausage, cooked liver etc. - not dry biscuits!)
3) COLLAR & LEASH for arriving and leaving (and for some class exercises). NOTE: if you usually use a harness, then if possible, please bring a collar as well!
4) VACCINATIONS please double-check your puppy has had at least two - the second at least 10 days before class starts!
5) YOUR CLOTHING - please be aware that on occasion you'll be sitting on the floor with your dog on your lap. Wear appropriate clothing.
6) YOUR DOG'S CLOTHING - None! And no diapers!
Last class for both the Puppies and the Teens is a Group Walk. This is one of the Teen Class walks, which then joins up with the Puppy Class walk at the end. About 30 dogs (and even more owners) happily co-existing!!
We don't have the time, space, or energy to cover all the myths about dog training, but here are a few to amuse you!
... before six months old!
Nonsense! Wait until then, and you'll have double the work untraining behaviours you don't want PLUS training the behaviours you do want! The truth is that your dog is starting to learn from you the moment s/he arrives in your home. It's up to you to decide WHAT the puppy learns!
This myth probably originated in the days when "old school" training methods with heavy collar corrections were used and the young dogs needed to be old enough to withstand the abuse.
Luckily, we don't do that any more!
...new tricks!
Older dogs are not the problem... however, older OWNERS are quite difficult to (re)train... but we try!
In fact, some would say (me, for instance!) that training an older dog is easier than training a puppy. Older dogs are generally calmer than young puppies and so have better focus and attention.
Duke turned up and "adopted" us when he was about six years old. You can see the results here.
...is bribery!
"Bribery" is a human term and implies something illegal (as we know from politics)! Actually, food is a "marker" - it's a signal something has been done correctly. In humans this could be an A+ from a teacher, or a paycheck or bonus from your job! We all "work” for reinforcements and dogs are no different.
We usually use food because most dogs love food, but it can be ANYTHING your dog loves - toys, play, work, petting, happy talk etc.
... and you'll never get their attention later!
When we start reward-based training, our dogs are on a CONTINUOUS reward system. The dog is rewarded every time it performs something correctly - or even just for TRYING! Rubini calls it being an ATM - an Automatic Treat Machine!
Once the dog has more or less got it, we move quickly onto VARIABLE and RANDOM reward system. This is similar to a Genting slot-machine - you know you won't win every time or how much, but next time...
Nils shows us everything you need to know about dog training...?
Note: No leash. Only one verbal command - "Heel". Zero shouting.
Very nice article by Dr. Suzanne Clothier on dog "attacks"!
Dealing with the Fool Factor is a reality of life with dogs and spaces shared with other humans. You won’t escape the fools, but you can learn what to do…/MORE
"I've always felt that the primary focus of most of the dog owners taking their dogs to classes here in Malaysia was not to enter competitions but simply to learn how to enjoy their pet as a pet, a friend and a companion. We started Puppy Training @ The School by Jaya One in 2011 based on Dr. Ian Dunbar's positive reinforcement puppy training with the aim of turning prisoners into pets - one dog at a time!"
Richard has had dogs all his life, some of which have appeared on TV, film and stage. Two of them are here and here.
“I use Positive Reinforcement Methods. This form of training is still very new in Malaysia. What this basically means, is that I don't use any harsh methods to train the dogs. No choke chains, collars, pulling, jerking or yelling at the dogs. Instead I use high value motivation rewards to encourage them to perform the commands.”
