Dog Training Techniques Reviews

I've been mainly reviewing DVDs recently but whilst browsing through some other reviews I stumbled across this section regarding dog training, so, considering I have managed to train a few dogs in my time, (no jokes here please, they may offend members), I thought I'd give my bit of advice, (although it does seem to be more than a bit), in the art ...  Read the complete review

Dog training is a subject very close to my heart. Whilst I absolutely adore dogs, they're the best animals in the world as far as I'm concerned, there is nothing that annoys me more than seeing an aggressive, untrained and unsociable dog. They are a danger to both humans and other dogs alike and are a real nuisance and pain to be around, they also ...  Read the complete review

I am no expert at all and have only ever owned one dog - my current dog for just over three years. I just wanted to write in this review section for people like me who may have a dog and love it but haven't read all the books on training, have maybe had a few issues with their dogs and maybe need to build their confidence with dogs. I ...  Read the complete review

As people who had read my other reviews will know, I love my animals and have two Border Collies. I got both my dogs from puppies and a very important part of their early life is to get them toilet trained. In this review, I will explain how I do this. If you get your puppy from a young age (6 weeks upwards) there is no excuse for bad ...  Read the complete review

Nearly everyone loves a puppy. They're cute, cuddly bundles of fun. However, they are also extremely hard work. Despite Bolly (my eight year golden retriever bitch) being one of the most gorgeous puppies in the world (not that I'm biased at all…), I would not swap the grown up well-behaved dog that she is now for the puppy she was eight years ago. ...  Read the complete review

I am not going to preach about the dos and don'ts of purchasing a pup, as you will already have wrestled with your conscience about that for yourself. What I am going to do is help you train your pup in what can be a sticky subject for most new owners. Toilet Training. ***************** Your first port of call should be to ...  Read the complete review

As soon as you decide to buy a dog you must accept that there is a hard journey ahead of you. Dogs just dont come pre trained with an instruction manual, although it would be nice. I stongly believe that there is a method best suited to a dog, they all have different personalities so they will work better with different training ...  Read the complete review

. FOREWORD: When I consider the tragic plight of the perhaps millions of souls, worldwide, who live in perpetual fear of their improperly-raised/handled canine house-pets turned Hitler-pooches, I truly regret that the only people who will ever be able to benefit from the sublime canine-control wisdom that follows hereunder, are my ...  Read the complete review

OK, I?ll admit right now that I?m no expert dog-trainer, far from it, in fact. However, through trial and error (and through the patience of my own very long-suffering dogs) I have managed to glean a few tricks that?ve worked for us that I?d like to share with you all. This is more of a ?what not to do with your new ...  Read the complete review

One thing I have to say at the outset is that I do not train dogs, my wife does though, and blooming does it well. I know because I support her in her hobby and phew, that's been for the last 30 years. She did dog 'showing' at first, attending all the local dog shows and entering our Sheltie with some success. However, she ...  Read the complete review

I am the proud owner or rather I am the proud partner to a Border collie, she goes by the name of Zola and she has to be one of the best things that have ever come into my life. Not forgetting my wife of course, have to say that in case she reads this. Zola was a farm dog and part of a litter of fourteen dogs, why I chose her was purely a ...  Read the complete review

Before I get to the main part of my opinion, I think it's best to establish what we mean when we say "dog". Dogs are easily identifiable. If you've got a pet then there's a good chance it's a dog. In order to ascertain whether the animal in your house is a dog, ask yourself these questions: 1. DOES IT ...  Read the complete review

I was screaming hysterically, frozen with an uncontrollable fear of Kleintjie?s next move. An incident I remember oh so vividly to this day, though I was only 11 years old at the time. Kleintjie, pronounced, ?Klein-ki? means ?small?, and was my Dad?s watchdog, a cross Ridgeback/Bulldog. He mysteriously ...  Read the complete review

Whips, chains, leather and collars Yes, this opinion is about heaving chests, big doe eyes staring back at you, nibbles, bites, chains, leather and more. However, for all you sick perverts who think I'm talking about S&M, feel free to leave a VU and depart the opinion now, because this has nothing to do with bondage. In fact, I was ...  Read the complete review

It’s early morning. The grass is still damp and several men are busy erecting what might easily be mistaken for a transportable children’s play-park. Isn’t that a see-saw there? And a long, winding tunnel to crawl through? But why the high jumps? And surely that old tyre can’t be a swing, the frame’s too low! ...  Read the complete review

Now, I don’t profess to be any kind of “expert” where dog training is concerned. However, I grew up with a dog in the family and now have my own, so I feel that I have at least a bit of experience to impart your way. Hopefully, it will make your life, and the dogs, a hell of a lot easier, enabling you to have many ...  Read the complete review

We’ve got two dogs. Luce came to us as a rescue dog five years ago at the age of about eight and was already a tad set in her habits. Rosie arrived as a pup a couple of years ago and she’s got a totally different temperament. When Luce first came she would start to go demented at the first indication that there was to be a ...  Read the complete review

I know this might not be the best place to put this as it is more about been trained not being trained but I hope you will forgive me putting it here. I am a dog owner. A good one I think. Today I took my dog down the shops on his lead. Outside the shop I tied him up. There was also another well trained dog there just ...  Read the complete review

I have got a Rhodesian Ridgeback dog who is getting on a bit now, he's twelve to be precise. Everytime we leave the house, we come back to a pile of doggie poop on the carpet. I have worked out that he only does this when we leave him on his own. The other day I went to the newsagents two doors down, and was gone only ...  Read the complete review
