Training Dogs with Methods Dogs Like!
 

There's an exciting shift going on in the world of dog training... and the dogs love it.

We are training dogs effectively with pain-free methods.

This website draws on the work of Dr. Ian Dunbar, clicker trainer Karen Pryor, Linda Tellington-Jones, and many other dog training experts. (I am not an expert myself... see below.)

More and more dog trainers have begun using these methods. That is what this website focuses on: the positive approaches to training dogs, ones that enhance your dogs' natural trust and willingness. Whether you are starting from scratch or already experienced, TRAINING-DOGS.COM offers you useful tips, tools, and tactics that have been proven by many people's training experience, with dogs and with other animals.

There are thoughtful people who advocate the careful use of devices that do cause pain in training dogs, especially when the problem seems intractable. I believe that in training dogs, many methods will work and I generally respect others' beliefs. But many dog trainers have crossed over to using only pain-free methods of training dogs. And that is what this website emphasizes. Most of these methods are based on scientific research into the use of positive reinforcement, while others are more intuitive. I've also lately become fascinated with the effects of dog food on dog behavior, and am writing about that as I learn more.

Rosana's Ramblings:

At training-dogs.com, here and there you will come across sections like this one....

If you are in a hurry, you can skip these.

Sometimes they may be a bit off topic, other times they will be stories of of dog training with my own animals, or life with them.

I wanted this website to have a personal flavor while providing you with lots of clear information on dog training.

You will see dogs referred to as he or she, though rarely if ever as it. I mix up the genders in no particular way.

I do not work as a professional dog trainer myself. I am a lifelong dog lover who has owned one or two dogs at a time for over 30 years. I have trained them all, with varying degrees of success, and I have helped others with their dog training.

I also trained our llamas when my husband and I had a llama ranch. My husband Kelly and I have produced videos on llamas and on the work of Linda Tellington-Jones and Penelope Smith. I'm chiefly a writer and I used to be a librarian, so I have a lot of experience in evaluating books, DVDs, and other information. Now I enjoy applying this to one of my favorite topics: dog training.
