Considerations When Buying Dog Training Equipment

The pet super stores are full of products aimed at dog owners. How much value all these products have when is sometimes unknown, but for most people there is nothing to good for their dog. When it comes to dog training equipment it is often hard to know what works and what doesn't. Before going out and buying all the latest training aids and gizmos it is best to stop and think about what your goals are for your dog. The first thing to consider is the breed of dog you have. Every dog is different and so are the various breeds. Some are better at doing some things while others are better at other things. Do research on the type of dog you have. Visit your local book store and find a good book that covers everything you might need to know about your dog. You can also find valuable information on the internet about caring for and training your particular dog. By doing research before hand you will have a good idea which type of dog training equipment will work best for you. Everybody has different goals when it comes to training their dog. You will have to decide what you want to teach them and how to best go about doing that. The methods used are vastly different if you're just interested in having a well behaved family pet as compared to a hunting dog. Even then there are different levels of training among dogs doing specific types of activities. There can even be differences in the way different breeds of dogs are trained to do essentially the same tasks. The amount of training and equipment needed will be different for the different needs of dog owners. One thing to remember is that for thousands of years dogs have been trained in pretty much the same way. With a leash and collar, lots of praise and giving them treats for a job well done. With all the modern training aids that are supposed to make the job easier one has to wonder if maybe we are making it more difficult then need be. Buying dog training equipment may give you a sense of accomplishment if it does what it is advertised to, but sometimes its hard to forget that for all our modern sophistication dogs are still relatively simple creature who respond to the simplest of methods.

Working Dog Training

working dog training
Does Anyone know how to get involved with working for training dogs? Working Dogs.?

Im interested in training dogs that help blind people or hearing impaired. I have no idea on how to get involved with that, but would love too. Im from Toronto.


The best thing to do would be contact guide and service dog schools in your area ( a quick google search should help you find them) and see what their requirements are for someone who whats to train. See if they have an internship if you are old enough to participate in one. If you are not old enough but live close see if they perhaps have a volunteer position that would help give you some experience or at least give you the opportunity to observe the trainers working.

Working Dog Training

Are you training your dog for herding?

What breed do you train?

What kind of livestock are you training on and/or for?

Have you trialed? If so, what venues? Any titles or wins?

Ever done a seminar or clinic? Who?

Why do you do it? Do you have a farm and a specific need for a good working dog, or do you do it as a hobby?

I train my Border Collies for herding mostly on sheep. I wondered if anyone else trained in herding and what were the specifics of that.


I'm thinking of getting my own sheep to let my GSDs exercise themselves. Never trialed, I have let one of my studs "play" with my friend's mini horses which was quite amusing. Maybe I'll start a sheep farm....ranch thing. Sounds fun right?
