 Originally Posted By: GSD07 I have seen first hand 99.9% recall reliable 8 year old dog been kicked by a horse because the dog ran towards the horse and underneath. Actually when I said that 99% I was talking about what is done during training-- calling the dog when you are 99% sure they will respond. However that 99% still applies to any recall with a fully trained dog as well. No dog is 100% reliable, no matter if they were...

Just wanted to say you guys have been a ton of help for me and giving me the inspiration to do this also. I too will agree that I need to use the positive training as of right now and later in life with her will add some compulsion back in when she is ready and I feel her confidence is rebuilt. Thanks again for all the great suggestions too as far as books, dvds etc.. I will keep you updated with our ups and downs as I go. I am sure I will...

I don't get that analagy at all but whatever. I agree with Kelly, is good to have flexibility with anything. The puff puff trainers only assisted in making my dog worse. I am so thankful for the people that really took Paige on-individually and changed the course of her life. Like I have said before-I must have a very unique GSD.

 Originally Posted By: Chicagocanine If you use use corrections for the recall such as: you call the dog, the dog does not respond, the dog is corrected- you are associating the command with the correction.

 Originally Posted By: Liesje I use to be "positive only" but now having a sound, more confident dog and using all different types of tools and methods in various contexts, I truly believe that a sound dog benefits from a balance of training methods and that sometimes includes corrections, positive punishment, compulsion, negative reinforcement or whatever you like to call it (but an unsound dog, maybe not appropriate). I...

Dominance theory I think gives too many easy answers when, in reality, relationships, even with our animals, are more complicated.

I think also, when we as owners, are always on 'high alert', that can send this message right down the leash. I've learned to trust my dog much more, and while I am still vigilant, (with all mydogs), I am more relaxed when going into situations..

Good things can also happen when your dog runs AWAY from you! LOL like squirrels, bunnies, deer, other dogs, people, etc etc. At some point in training (like Oksana said after the teaching phase) you need to proof, which depending on the dog, requires corrections.

 Originally Posted By: GSD07 That's a teaching recall stage. How do you proof it? It sounds like the OP needs to go back to the basics, and correcting the dog (ala Leerburg) won't help that. In addition to what I posted above, and to answer your question... If you have to turn and run away, he needs more training. When he is coming to you every time, with the long lead on, take him to a safe location (fenced) and try it on...

Would you be interested in using a clicker? as in clicker training? I would probably start there if I were you. I like Peggy Tilmans Clicking with your Dog. it's an easy read, gives you tons of examples on training a behavior in detail using a clicker. I think if I were you, I would just tell your husband,,you train Kahn the way you want, I'll train Bella the way I want..doesn't have to be an ...

Yikes! I would NEVER advice a client to do this! Instead, lavishly reward when your dog comes to you. Keep him on a long lead (or a long, light lead, like a clothesline with a snap). If he doesn't come to you, turn and run away from your dog, making funny noises to attract his attention.

Ken is good guy, I've been to 2 seminars @ Wolfpark with him... a lot of fun, too. He was one of the folks most upset with the growing popularity of Cesar and his old school ways, and felt it was taking us backwards decades in terms of using knowledge we have gained through studying behaviors and developing positive methods of training. I saw him work with a wolf he had worked with as a pup ...

When Jax took her cgc, the instructor took the leash and I walked away. You might want to check on that. I think she passed only because my obedience instructor was sitting right there. LOL If you find out it's different than Jax's the only suggestion I would make is start having alot of other ppl handle him.

Next time he pees/poops say "bathroom" (or whatever word you choose). Tell him good boy when hes done. Bring him in. ONLY BRING HIM OUT WHEN YOU CHOOSE. When you bring him out....say the word....give him like 2 min, if he doesnt go, bring him right in. (Use a leash & stand in one place) My boy started doing this also. I bring him out every 2-3 hours.(depends on your dog.) Except at night (he can...

I don't use a bridge word unless I am working on long stays and want to reinforce the stay in the middle without releasing. I do use the click as being both the marker and the end of the behavior, so if I clicked during a stay it would mean the exercise is done. It's much quicker IMO to use the click=release rather than to have to give a separate release word all the time. However I also teach "...
