How many of you on this board do any table training for bitework or any other reasons? Do any of you do this training yourself on your own dogs?

We have used a table in training correct position
with puppies/young dogs ie: sitz/platz etc.

Also for achieving a calm hold with a dumb bell.
We have never had a need to use
one for bitework yet, but would not rule it out.

As far as using for obedience, it certainly has saved
our wore out old backs and knees from bending
over so much!

I have seen it used and have had my male on it twice...didn't seem to enhance anything already being done. Not saying it's not a valuable tool...just that my experience is very limited:-)

I,d contact Gene England if I were intrested in table training.

Most of our work is done using the tables in Tracking, Protection and to a degree obedience. For us, it is the best way to build a balanced, controllable, confident, powerful dog.

Agree with Bob, Unless you contact Gene or someone that you know for a fact works closely with him on a continuous basis and knows and UNDERSTANDS the table work you will get many incorrectly skewed opinions and instructions on how to properly implement the tables. This is absolutely not something that can be explained or learned via the internet or a thread.

We use it at my club. My helper learned it from Gene and from what I see it is used for everything and not just bitework. I use it on my 20 month old and I have a 6 month old who will get her first session sometime this month. I remember first hearing about it and was unsure of it but after reading up and learning from my club helper I see nothing wrong with it. As Bob & Uglyk9 said, make sure you get with someone who knows what they are doing...that is the hard part.

One thing is true...it will save your back. lol!

here is a youtube video of Gene.

I have been using it for the gripps and for frustraiting the young dogs in bitework. Has anyone used it to frustrait the young dogs to increase ball drive.

I use it with our Police K-9's. I also went to Gene's, it was very interesting and I have implemented the training for our unit.
