Pet Training Collars

Head Collars for training, your thoughts?

Im having a bit of trouble in Dog Obedience with my 6 months old Staffy X always trying to run off and sniff the closest dogs butt or wanting to play. We've been going for about 6 weeks now!

Someone mentioned a Gentle lead head collar, but I thought they were a little cruel. Seeing as if you pull to hard you are pulling the dogs snout and head! The person did mention is really deters your dog from doing it after that first pull to straighten them up.

Your thoughts, experience and suggestions would be appreciated :o)

This is the product I was thinking about getting for him... http://www.petsplus.com.au/pet-shop.asp?id=34
Harness that goes around his chest only makes him want to pull harder!

They aren't cruel, no. They work on the principle that the dog pulls opposite to pressure. When the head collar is properly fitted and the dog pulls, he gets pressure at the base of his skull, and he pulls his head up and back. Tough to go forward that way! If the snout loop begins to tighten, he pulls his head up.

And you are right that harnesses increase, rather than decrease, pulling.

I don't think this collar could possibly used on a training class however, where you are learning how to do leash corrections. You'd do better to learn how to use the leash and collar you have for class, and to teach your dog to settle. Also, if class is the only socialization he's getting with other dogs, he's going to be harder to control in class.

Pet Training Tips: For Dog Owners

It can be a great feeling being the owner of a dog they can bring you joy and companionship and you will always have someone to come home to after a hard day at work, there is nothing better than being greeted by a wagging tail and a happy face! But are you in need of some pet training tips? When you have a dog, no matter what breed you own, it is important that your pet is well trained and behaved, and that is why it is important to begin pet training as early as you can. Your dog needs to learn pet training tips such as; house breaking, walking on a leash without pulling and coming back to you when you call him. These are all basic obedience traits that your dog needs to adopt in order to be well trained and easier to look after.

Here are some pet training tips that you should remember before you begin training your dog:

1  Try not to ask your dog to do anything that he can evade. If your dog gets frustrated by you being strict and commanding, then your dog will see this as a negative thing, so you must try to respect your dog’s behaviour and act correctly at the early stages of pet training.

2  Always remember to praise or reward your dog for any good performances that he does. This is a very important pet training tip that you must follow strictly in order to boost your dog’s confidence and so that your dog will be more willing to follow instructions that you give him and he will also develop a good relationship with you. Doing this will lead to good habits in your dog’s behaviour.

3  Try never to punish or tell your dog off during training because a punishment will act as a negative for your dog and you will find that he might not want to listen to what you are saying. Praise him for the good things he does instead.

4  Make sure to penalize your dog. This means that you should issue your dog a penalty which might be anything that your dog does not enjoy, such as ignoring him or maybe a leash jerk when he is not walking like he should on his leash remember, this is not a punishment it is a simple prod in the right direction.

Dog/Puppy Training Quick Fixes?

What is it with people today and not wanting to actually put in the time to train their pets?

Last night we had the trog who wanted to put a shock collar on an 8 week old puppy because it wasn't listening(Hello, 8 week old puppy here) and now we have the guy who wants to debark the 15 week old pup his wife brought home.

I mean come on we don't expect this kind of perfection in our young children, well some of us don't, but why are more and more people expecting to be able to fix a problem overnight?

Dog = Ornament.

I buy a Flat Screen TV. I plug it in. It works. The End.

I buy a Lawn Gnome. I put it in my yard. It's cute. It makes my yard look good. The End.

I buy a Labrador puppy. I put it in my living room. It's really cute. I let it out (because it asks to go, at 8 weeks old). People in my neighborhood ooh and ahhh over its cuteness. The End.

Dogs aren't living beings to people any more. We don't respect them as anything other than decor and sources of entertainment when we need to be entertained.
