Old vs New Training - Page 2

The tone of my voice, persistent training, choke collars, and lots of praise is how I trained my Shepherds.

beetree,

Is it the same or different??   My guess is the same.

I have a pup (1yearold) who will get into the garbage,  I never catch him in the act.

I show him the mess and ask ( DID YOU DO THAT !!) and throw in a (BAD DOG! ) he know's what I'm talking about.

I make him sit and watch me clean up the mess, he feel's my anger and tone.   This work's for a few day's, or until something is there that he just can't resist.    My next trick will be a boot in the arse !!

I agree electronic devices are useful tool's,  just be very smart in how you use them.  

Parimeter device's and barking device's are not the same as a hand held user activated device.   The rules are different.

A harsh word and a boot in the arse is quicker and cheaper..LOL

Moon's.

Two Moons...LOL!

Nice to know someone else is having the same difficulties I'm having.

The other night, I baked a loaf of banana bread. My room mate, her son, and myself all had a piece for dessert. After cleaning up the dishes, I went upstairs for a bit, maybe 10 minutes or so. When I came back, there was an empty plastic bag on the kitchen floor, and two very innocent looking mutts chilling on the rug in the den. My roomie and I have been living together only 6 weeks: she hasn't yet caught on to the fact that my guys loooove sweet stuff, and you practically have to put it under lock and key. You definitely can't leave it on the counter. I was really really ticked, because I'd planned to take the rest of the loaf to a meeting for snacks.

As I was cleaning up the crumbs, Ranger got a whack with the broom when he got too close to me. Star had wisely already retreated upstairs to her crate, after a tongue-lashing.
