I use the momentary with the tri-tronics collar.

Just enjoy all the frustrations and play of the puppy! It only lasts for so long. Good luck!

I second Total Retriever Training, 2d ed, by Mike Lardy. I asked my local Library to purchase this program and they were willing to do so since they don't have extensive material in dog training. I...

How well trained is your dog in retrieving? If it is good at it, snow may add to the challenge. The hard part is for you to remember where you threw them so that you can point your dog in the right...

What I like to do to turn my dogs onto feathers is to tie a 6 foot string to a wing or bird and basically play keep away from the chasing dog. He chases it and you try to keep it away. If he catches...

Thank you. I am definitely going to wait on the dead animals. I have a ton of super tempting treats(i.e. steak) that I can continue working with and then when I see he is flawless with those, I will...

I am not a professional by any means but I really like to use both types of learning. Treats and play when things go right but there are also times when I need to correct my dogs with an e collar. I...

Hello all,
I am just wondering if you have an opinion about what flea and tick prevention to use? I've looked at all the different types from natural oils to the veterinarian recommended brands and...
