barking and agressive behaviour - Page 3

"If you need this to train you have already lost the argument."

LMFAO!  We are clearly not even talking about the same breed of dog.

What was your great advice for felleke again Keith?
And can you answer the question or not?
You can laugh all you like if it makes you feel better.

What are the chances that this dog will redirect aggression on the handler with a pinch? That would be my biggest worry.
If the handler is inexperienced, then I don't think a pinch is the right tool. IMO, rock solid obedience without the distraction
comes first. Then and only then would I even think about adding a distraction. It needs to be done in a controlled environment.
You should start desensitizing her just at her threshold with the presented behavior, be it 50ft, 100ft etc... then, as her obedience
improves with the distraction at a distance, decrease the space very slightly. If she is too focused on the other dog/person,
back up to the point that she is just mildly distracted.

I myself would be comfortable using a pinch after much bonding and obedience without distractions. If the dog defies a command
that has been given, a correction is in order after it knows the correct response.

Again, .02
What works for one may not work for another. I would encourage the OP to seek a qualified trainer.

What you are dealing with is pain, that is not a training tool.

Ok now iam sure the answer for the op will show up soon i hope.

Pleaseeeeeeee....never mind!......@OP....go back to first post of Isaach.....there is good information there.

From someone that does this for a living, I agree with Keith- but OP needs a trainer to show them how to do it the right way.

Come on people, if a fair, well-timed correction is going to emotionally crush your dog and ruin their bond with you, destroy their drive, etc., etc., your dog is pretty damn soft, and guess what? Those dogs aren't running their mouth at other dogs. The strong ones are.

OP: Get off the internet and find a real trainer.

I would not put a prong on a dog that young JMHO

Its not easy finding a good trainer. Someone might want to guide them in finding a "real trainer" cause most aren't real.

Felleke, I have watched many of the Cesar Milan tv shows and he gives a lot of solutions to a lot of problems.  I try to learn the principal he is using.  I have had good success with his principals.  He is on the National
Geographic Channel.  With regard to barking and aggressive behavior , I have seen him stop both it in a little of no-time.   Good luck.  ecs 

Now that's the answer, Cesar Milan...jesus!

How about William Koehler?
It's a great method for beginners and his books are readily available in libraries.

felleke has not returned by the way.

This is turning into who's training methods are best suited to felleke's needs.
It's not a prong collar I am certain.

Felleke was given some good advice at the onset, train the dog from the beginning, bond and do the puppy work then move on to other things.
The dog must get to stage one before anything can be accomplished.

Someone has said there is a problem with getting good information on this site due to evil nasty mean wicked remarks.
Arguing over training methods is none of those things, even if you don't particularly like the tone.
