Havn’t found any useful websites or anything so was wondering if someone could recommend a book or video or website on drug detection dog training.

I remember a time when the “rolled up newspaper” method of dog training was the accepted norm. Back then, many trainers taught their dogs to do amazing things (and do them quite well) using methods that most folks today would consider “cruel”. I’m not advocating any particular school of training here, but I was wondering: What happened that most people changed their training habits? How did positive reinforcement start, and do you think it will continue to be the preferred method of dog training?
Does anybody here really believe that folks who trained their dogs using harsh methods actually loved their dogs any less?
Is it really so bad to learn out of fear? Once again, I’m not advocating a particular training method, but if it works is it such a bad thing?
St. Lady raises a good point … I too learned many things out of fear of my parents’ reactions to things I did when I was younger. I learned right from wrong because I knew that wrong behaviors had negative consequences. I think I turned out OK. Couldn’t a dog?
Anybody who wants to read a good article about how Ian Dinbar started positive reinforcement and how he compares to Caesar Milan’s methods should definately click DogJudge’s link.

I bought a dog training clicker today and noticed that there is no lanyard (wrist strap). I was wondering if any other Yahoo Answers users could tell me where I might find one that would be for a StartMark brand clicker http://aboutdogtraining.sitestreet.com/185/StarMark_Clicker.htm

No smart alick answers please.

Similar to the Divine Canine show on Animal Planet. People send their out of contorl pets to a monastery where the monks there who happen to be dog trainers train the dog for a month and then give your perfectly behaved dog back.

I am considering using a training collar to teach my dog boundaries. I need to be able to keep her off leash, but she runs off if I let her off the leash. A fence, even an invisible fence, is out of the question as its not my house. I’ve tried teaching her boundaries for the last 5 months but it is not working well. She won’t respond to “come” unless she’s in the mood. I want to use a shock collar but I worry it may be inhumane. Are they effective and are they safe to use?

Have a lab puppy. Need some tips. He’s house trained, that wasn’t hard. But I’m having trouble with him nipping peoples hands while playing. It’s not fear biting or even a bite. when you play with him he will nip at your hands. Tail wagging and all that .Friendly dog I just don’t want him putting teeth on people.

I read Cesar’s Way and Be the Pack Leader by Cesar Millan, and let me tell you, I have zero experience with training but his books taught me how to transform my insecure yappy pug into my dream dog- a stable, happy and calm pug.

Hey, I’m in the process of putting together a website full of free articles regarding dog training. One of my stupid New Year resolutions.

I was going to concentrate on providing tips for people with problem dogs (mainly adults, because people love puppies). The feedback I have from friends is that I should target Puppy training issues ?

So what do I concentrate on - Puppies or Adult Dogs ?
Sorry, here’s what I’ve got so far, I think it’s coming on : http://www.advicedogtraining.com.
