Training Tools

Working with a 2 1/2 year old kennel dog who was virtually abandoned by her very ill breeder and found that lure reward worked very well to get her started. Used Training the Adult Dog and Training the Companion Dog DVD's and phased out food with mastery of each of the behaviors. In order to increase socialization, we are now in AKC Novice Obedience, and I hear from other owners that they are in the class because Sirius Puppy Training didn't work because it relies on food. Stay on message Ian!

Same thing happens when treiners leave a tug toy dangling by their side in a recall. Great videos, loved it

...which is why I don't use a food pouch.

I agree with all that is said but a bribe is technically something that is done that benefits only the giver (the briber). If a mum gives a child an ice cream after finishing the sprouts, then that is not a bribe because the nutritional goodness in the sprouts will benefit the child. So, surely if the dog gets a small piece of his meal after a recall that is not a bribe either?
