[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Two trainers to choose from...?
Okay from opinions on here (thanks) and my own research, I have narrowed it down to two obedience trainers in my area to take our APBT Max to. He's dog aggressive, listens to the basic obedience commands but only follows them 1/2 the time.
Just looking for opinions/suggestions between these two
Neither of them list prices... thats a big sign they are going to cost some money, hm? Both prefer one on one training with the dog which is great, but I also know Max needs to be socialized more in a controlled enviormnent. And money isnt the big issue, it will be well spent. I just want help in managing the dog aggressive behavior, i don't expect to get it out of him, i don't want that. I just want help in managing it with him a little better.
Patient Paws... want to come to GA to train him for me? ;)
Most of the time when a trainer doesn't list a price it means they do it individually. I do this. If an animal comes to me and doesn't need a lot of work, it won't be a very hefty price tag unless the owner wants something specific trained in. If a dog (like yours) is highly aggressive and poses a moderate challenge, I'll evaluate what needs to be done, place a time estimate on it, and calculate the cost.
I personally don't like the look of the second website, but thats all I've seen so far. They used the wrong context of "You're", which is a red flag. How can you expect customers to respect you as an intelligent dog trainer when you can't spell things correctly? They also SELL dogs? The second one also seems like a ILTC (intensive learning training center), which is more for dogs that will be used as service dogs. From what I've seen on there, they don't even list the type of training certificates that have been approved for them to do what they do. I don't see anything that would lay me to rest that these people are qualified trainers.
The first one I've actually heard of, but haven't had any personal experience with. I've never had a dog come to me who had previously been to the SMSDTC.
I personally would do more research on training centers around your area before making a set decision.
Most APBT's are dog aggressive, thats a natural apt that the majority of them suffer from. I train them and rehabilitate them and I've only run into ONE dog that didn't have aggression problems with strange dogs. If a client came to me with a dog-aggressive dog, it would be a hefty price tag. I use my dogs to train other dogs (show by example learning). I am putting my own dogs at risk when I'm training their dogs, so it would indeed be a higher tag.
If those are the only two training centers you have, or you've narrowed it down to these two ONLY, I would go with the first.

R. M. Smythe & Company to Offer Part 13 of the Schingoethe Obsolete Currency Collection, December 12-13, 2007
Manhattan, New York - December 4, 2007 – R. M. Smythe & Company (http://www.Smytheonline.com) to offer Part 13 of the Schingoethe obsolete currency collection December 12-13, 2007. The sale will contain 1162 lots of obsolete notes to be auctioned over 2 days.
When it came to coins and paper money Herb Schingoethe collected almost everything, but it was obsolete currency that his wife Martha liked to collect most of all. She fell in love with the incredible diversity of issuers, and with the artistic quality of the vignettes on the notes. She enjoyed meeting and dealing with the people who bought and and sold obsolete currency. She had the skills and the energy required to organize and maintain everything they acquired. Her husband Herb had the passion to collect on a grand scale. Together they created what is now known as the Schingoethe collection.
From December 12-13, 2007 R. M. Smythe & Co. will be offering part 13 of this groundbreaking collection, with exceptional rarities and choice notes from many diverse series’. This sale features a section of Illinois notes from Herb’s core Illinois collection that were treasured by Herb and Martha. This sale also contains notes from the North, South and Midwest, including many pieces from Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin. Many well vignetted and choice proof notes that Herb and Martha prized are also featured.
Some of the more interesting notes being offered at this sale include:
Lot # 426 MA. Lynn, Nantucket, Newburyport, Pittsfield, Plymouth, Roxbury, Salem, S. Boston, S. Reading, Stockbridge, Uxbridge, Ware, Westfield, Worcester. Assortment of notes, most G-Fine. At least one altered, and many with color and nice vignettes. Some missing corners, tears, repairs, red, green overprints, Denominations: $1 - $5 & a $10. [19] Estimate $1000 - $1500
Lot # 436 MI. Brest. Monroe & Ypsilanti Railroad Co. $1. Nov. 1, 1838. (L-BRE-2-1 (Lee Plate Note); Haxby MI-90 G2; Bowen 1). Black. Train at wharf, center; statue of Washington at left, 1 below; Justice seated at right. The only denomination of this series not plated in either Haxby or Bowen, this $1 rarity will not go unnoticed by Michigan specialists. This example is from the collection of Dr. Wallace Lee, who was known for assembling rarity and quality. The fact that this note grades on the low end is a testament to its rarity. Follow the example of Dr. Lee and don't let grade stand in the way of acquiring what is perhaps the only note available. Fair, numerous taped splits. Estimate $1000 - $1200
Lot # 491 MI. Saranac. A Pair of G. A. Cotton Scrip. 1) 10¢. Oct. 27, 1862. (L-SAR-1-1 Lee Plate Note; Bowen 1). Green. Fine, with some age toning, trimmed close at sides. 2) 25¢. Oct. 27, 1862. (L-SAR-1-2 (Lee Plate Note); Bowen 2). Green. Blue on white. Typeset; both of similar design, with location and date at the center, flanked by denomination in bold font. An extraordinary pair of Michigan scrip, these two notes represent all the listed numbers in Bowen. Both are properly issued, signed by Gilbert A. Cotton, owner of a general store in Saranac in Ionia County. Cotton was likely also the postmaster of this location as both pieces bear a Post Office CDS (Circular Date Stamp) on the verso, with the same date as printed on the face of the notes. From the Dr. Lee Collection, these pieces virtually scream of their utter rarity. Estimate $1,000-1,500

Dog training will transform the dog's mannerisms, from a dog that will not do as he is told by you to a dog that will pay attention to your orders, from a dog that is annoying the neighbors into a calm one, from a dog that is at all times scampering from you into a dog that will remain at a halt at your order. Just like in any other training scheme, there are some methods to be followed.
The dog has got to be familiar with his name, so he can act in response to the master's instructions. When he is familiar with his own name, you can begin teaching with the check lead and instruct "here" or "come". You can begin all this in the house, but initially, he has to be able to make out his own name. If you would like the puppy to pay attention just to you, then do not permit him to play with other people. If you will allow him to play too much, he will begin to snarl and bark every time you take his playthings away.
One more essential feature of dog training is that you have to teach your pet, so no one will get harmed when you are out with him and people are all about him. By making use of the dog training instructions correctly, you do not have to be anxious that he will bite off someone or he will scamper off. Even if you have trained your dog to be compliant and pay heed you, you should admire him as well since after all, you selected him, he could not select you, and if you will not take care of him properly, he will in all probability run away, or he will be miserable. The fundamental dog training instructions that a dog should act in response to are: fetch, stay close, here, sit and come.
- Begin teaching the dog whilst he is still a puppy - this makes sure of much better achievement rates even for starting out dog trainers.
- Put up some information on dog training and only then acquire a new puppy.
- Free dog obedience training programs ought to be modified to the precise necessities of your dog breed. Please see our collection of precise dog breed training techniques in order to get more understanding on this subject.
- Make certain that the puppy is in high spirits and has an adequate amount of energy to try out training.
- Be inventive, by no means let the puppy get fed up and coach the dog where the limits are set.
PDSA recommends that all dog owners train their four-legged friends as early as possible to help stop them injuring themselves or other members of the public.
Sean Wensley, Senior Veterinary Surgeon, says: “We recommend that new dog owners ask their vet for advice on training as soon as they get their new puppy. Training, using kind methods, is an important part of responsible pet ownership, and just as important as getting them vaccinated.
Training can help protect your dog from potential dangers and risks. Sean explains: “If your dog accidentally slips its lead and runs off towards a busy road, the ‘come’ command could help prevent a serious accident which could endanger the life of your dog and others. Or, obeying the ‘drop’ command could stop your dog hurting itself if it picks up an unsafe object.”
The most common and useful skills to teach your dog are walking to heel, sitting, lying down, staying, coming, leaving and dropping. PDSA advocates using an effective and kind method of training called ‘positive reinforcement’. This means rewarding good behaviour with healthy treats, praise or play, so that the dog will want to repeat the behaviour. This technique makes it easier for them to understand what their owner wants them to do, which improves learning.
Puppies have the greatest potential for learning, but it’s never too late to start training a dog. However, puppies have short attention spans, so it is best to train them for short periods on a regular basis. It is best not to try to teach them lots of skills at once, as this can be confusing. Instead, they should be taught one skill until they’ve learnt it and then move on to the next one. For more advice why not pick up a free copy of PDSA’s Dog Training leaflet, which gives an introduction to the most useful commands and effective training techniques. The leaflet forms part of a larger range of Responsible Pet Care leaflets produced by PDSA which cover topics including First Aid, Diet and Nutrition and Vaccinations. The leaflets are available from PDSA PetAid hospitals and charity shops nationwide or by logging onto www.pdsa.org.uk.

Glimpsed yourself in the mirror lately? A little upset at the person you saw looking back at you? A bit more belly fat than you had thought? Well do not let yourself get too down, the cause is far from lost, there are many great ways to burn belly fat fast and here are a few of them:
1) Interval Training. This is a highly effective method of working out, here is what you ought to do. Mount a treadmill and do a quick 2-3 minute warm-up then do a short burst of 2 minutes at 90% of your maximum effort and follow this by doing a further 1 minute at 50% of your maximum effort. Try to keep repeating this cycle for a minimum of twenty minutes. Not only is this going to dramatically increase your aerobic fitness, it will also give your metabolism a massive boost that will ensure your body keeps burning through those calories well after the workout has finished.
2) Do weight training sessions. Two or three times every week try to do a weight training session. The reason for that is that muscle tissue needs more calories to keep it functioning properly than fat tissue does. This means that the more muscle you have the more calories you will burn even when at rest. Make sure you include the major compound exercises such as squats, bench presses, pull-ups and dead lifts; these will give your metabolic rate a real boost!
3) Walk. Simple yet effective a brisk walk around the park, home from the shops, with the dog or even a day out walking in the hills, these are all really great for burning calories. They are ideal for people who are not fans of the gym or intense exercise and also double up as very relaxing activities where you can gather your thoughts a little.
4) It doesn't really matter what form of activity you do so long as you do some, be it swimming/rowing/running. Of course some exercises a re more intense than others and will use up a greater number of calories but the main point is to ensure that you are exercising frequently. Swimming is a great way to get around the problem of jarring your joints that often occurs in some activities.
5) Play sports. Get yourself signed up with a local sports club. Why not rediscover the passion for a former hobby although anything will suffice. Maybe get involved with 5 a side soccer, squash, badminton anything you like really. Becoming part of a team is highly motivating and can make exercise seem less like a chore a more like something you just do with your mates.
Of course try to keep your diet free of fast foods and all the usual sweets and so on, drink plenty of water and get lots of rest, more great nutrition guidleins can be found here: Turbulence Training Fat Loss Nutrition Guidelines. Following these tips will allow you to burn belly fat consistently but it is up to you, good luck and if you want more detailed information on any of this then I highly recommend checking out the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Handbook and also the Fat Loss 4 Idiots Feedback to see if it is right for you or not!
[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Do you agree with the Clicker Training Method?
Why/why not? Do you think it is a successful way to train dogs?
If not, what dog training method do you prefer and use? I use clicker training myself with my dog. In fact, I actually started clicker training when I discovered zsianz1 and kikopup's channels.
People seem to have th wrong idea about clicer training. The clicker sound doesn't /replace/ the reward (food, toy, walk, whatever) it just lets the dog know EXACTLY what earned the reward (as you can mark an exact moment in time) and lets him know that a reward is coming within a few seconds.
The problem with just using treats is that you can sometime reward a few seconds too late and so reward the wrong behaviour. Imagine you're teaching your dog to stand. You lure him up from a sit, he walks forwards, sighs and you give him a treat. You've just reinforced the sigh.
If you do the same thing in clicker training you lure him up and click as he straightens his back legs, he can than walk and sigh all he wants before you treat, you've still reinforced the standing, rather than the sighing because THAT'S when you clicked.
With clicker training you can also reward the tiniest of behaviours. I was having trouble getting my dog to learn to spin by luring him around in a circle. So I sat down with my clicker and waited. When he looked to the left I clicked and followed it with a treat. Next time he looked to the left I clicked and followed it with a treat. Soon he was looking to the left every few seconds so then I stopped clicking that everytime and started only clicking if he turned slightly. Within half an hour he was spinning round in a complete circle without me luring him at all.
You couldn't distinguish such small movements with ordinary training. Your dog would have no idea what it was being rewarded for, with the clicker however (as long as your timing is good enough) you can mark things as small as a shift in weight, a flick of an eye, a tail movement. As long as there's some small behaviour to start off with you can build huge chains of behaviour that are nothing like the original behaviour you started from. Example: I went from clicking my dog for looking at a book to having him do a handstand with his back feet against a wall!
The part where people go wrong in clcker training is they think the clicker /becomes/ a reward, it doesn't, it just becomes a /promise/ of a reward. It says to the dog "I like what you just did, and now I'm going to get you a treat".
You don't /have/ to use a clicker, you can use voice signals too. Both my dogs know that "YES!" also means a treat is coming (useful for when I don't have my clicker to hand). My friends' deaf dog is trained to a flash in the eyes with a torch and a hand clap (as long as he can see it). The thing with the clicker is that it's shorter and sharper so there's less chance of you inadvertantly marking more than one behaviour with it.
I'd reccomend reading "Click for Joy!" by Melissa Alexander. It goes over how the clicker works, how to prime the clicker and how to use it to solve common dog problems and train puppies in basic obedience. It's written in a Q&A format, so it's easy to dip back into when you need reminded of something.
For fun tricks I'd reccomend checking out the users Kikopup and zsianz1 on Youtube. They're both brilliant trainers and their dogs are all 100% clicker trained!

Dog Training Chewing – How to Stop Excessive Chewing and Save Money
I was surfing the net recently and came across this horrible dog training chewing method. See, this method requires the use of a highly negative training tool in order to stop your dog's excessive chewing behavior. What sort of negative training tool am I talking about here?
Well, shock collars of course! The website claims that this stupid tool effectively renders any other dog training chewing methods "obsolete."
That is absolutely preposterous!
Listen, you don't have to use this tool to stop your dog's chewing behavior. The fact is with proper home training techniques, you can not only prevent your dog from leaving his teeth marks all over your belongings, but you can also "program" him to perform desirable behaviors in near effortless manner.
Also, using proper home training techniques, you can save money because you don't have to hire a professional dog trainer and your belongings won't get chewed anymore. You know, my Lab dog Cheeku chewed on my $100+ toaster power cord and we had to replace the whole unit!
But, this won't be happening to you (at least, not anymore)!
Let me share with you my dog training chewing methods which are very positive. And if you need more training techniques, check out the link below for a clicker course which covers about 30 different behaviors. I've successfully implemented several positive training techniques using this course as my step-by-step reference guide.
Alright! Here's how you stop your dog's chewing habit…
Dogs chew primarily because they are bored and anxiety may be the cause as well. So what you should do is set up an area where he may chew only appropriate items e.g. chewing and interactive toys. Items that aren't allowed to be chewed must be kept out of this area!
This sort of area is vital especially when you're not around to supervise him. And another important thing is to ensure that you leave at least 3 to 5 of his favorite toys in this area.
Now, whenever your dog chews inappropriately, you must promptly stop him and then redirect his attention to his favorite chewing toy. I used a clicker to full reinforce this action. As soon as I redirect his attention, I immediately click the clicker.
Dog training chewing can easily be done using a $2 clicker which you can purchase from your local pet store. No negative tools required!
And if you need a clicker manual with clearly explained instructions, follow the download details link below.
You may be surprised to know that there are many uncommon clicker training methods for shaping desirable behaviors in your dog. Clicker training is not only for teaching dogs cheesy circus tricks like most people think ya know?
There are advanced methods like backchaining and stimulus control for positive behavior development.
[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Question about buying a blank firing pistol (for training dogs)?
I saw them at gander mtn., they are pistols that are ment to train hunting dogs, they just only fire blanks. I need to get one of these so I can train with my dogs. My question is can I get one? The reason I ask is because I am 16. I know some people (mostly the ones at the check out at gander mtn) would think that since I am a teenager I would use it to rob a bank or something.
But i check the regulations on this and you do not need a permit to posses them. So could I buy one even though I am 16? (i am in MN).
A blank pistol is not considered a firearm since it does not fire a projectile under the force of an explosion. You shouldn't have any problem but you never know the eductation level of the clerk is or what the policy of the store is.
