The Power of Positive Dog Training Review

with two very rambunctious border collie puppies any advice was good advice. or so i thought until i read pat millers' positive dog training book. she doesn't preach but gently guides newcomer puppy owners. her book is full of encouragement and practical training tips to help ease the daily frustrations and defeats faced when dealing with two highly intelligent and at times challenging puppies. I highly recommend this book for not only reassuring new dog owners but also in helping to reinforce that behavioural change can occur without cruelty but with lots of love and kindness.
well done pat!

BASIC CLICKER TRAINING TECHNIQUES - KAAREN REICHE - NORTH BEND OR
I am planning to adopt a puppy soon. Having never had a dog I know I'm going to need help with training. I'm planning to take my puppy to training classes but feel I should prepare myself prior to getting the puppy. This book does this. It's well written by a professional dog trainer. It is a reward system utilizing a "clicker." It covers everything, including dreaded potty training. I'm going to use it for planning and as a reference. As the author says it's easier to train the dog right the first time rather than trying to delete an unwanted behavior.



Basically Let's Just Give All Dogs Treats Just For Being Alive!!! - Zedicus - New York, USA
Any moron can bribe a dog with treats constantly and call it dog training. Your dog should listen because you said so. He needs to respond because of your love, technique and proper knowledge, not hot dogs, cheese, beggin strips or salami. Where is your common sense you guys?

Also, it's best to use treats for obedience competitions or if you are dealing with an extremely fearful dog. Is that really you?!?! Is your dog that afraid of you that the minute he sees you, he pees himself or is nowhere to be found? I seriously doubt it.

Again, you can bribe your dog yourself. You don't need to read this book or even work with some cookie trainer. Here's how I will make you think twice. Would you call this method practical, smart or even natural?

Reality Check: Give your dog treats, but at the very "end" of your training sessions and once in a while. If your dog sees or even smells the treats in your hands, sorry, you are relying on treats instead of your bond, love and your leadership. If you honestly think that dogs love to please, you wouldn't need to use a milk bone every single time.

Face it. It doesn't take much skill or talent to give a dog treats for everything. We didn't teach our kids this way. Did you learn your ABC's with Twinkies and Kit Kats? I hope not.

Conclusion: This positive reinforcement got me negative outcome. A fat dog with explosive diarrhea that licks his mouth and looks in my hand every time I ask him to sit. Kudos to the author.






Great training book! - greenshutters - San Francisco
I've read many training books and used many training techniques, and I recommend this one because of its emotional approach. It gets you to think like your dog instead of getting frustrated figuring out what your dog is trying to do - very helpful and different than other books (if you like Cesar Millan you will like this one). And it's a great read!
