Self help dog training

The correct term for training one s own service dog or one for an immediate member of your family is owner training because the dog is being trained by the owner instead of by a professional trainer or service dog program. Self-training is incorrect, because the dog is not training himself. Dogs start out as service dog candidates or puppy candidates while they are doing socialization and learning core obedience skills. They become service [...]

I ve been training with Bryan for about a year and a half with my first sport dog JT. He earned his BH & we re working towards his IPO 1. Bryan has been patient with me as an inexperienced handler and had no problem with training an alternate breed for the sport (JT is an American Bulldog). After training with Bryan I ve found that I really enjoy the obedience portion of the sport that I used to find tedious. I can t recommend Bryan enough [...]

You’re walking your dog when an off-leash Lab puppy comes sprinting your way. Knowing that your dog is about to freak out, you shout, “Call your dog!” in the vain hope that the caregiver will (a) call her puppy and (b) actually be able to get the puppy under control. The common response, “Don’t worry, she’s friendly!” sends your pulse soaring. It’s meant to reassure you, but few phrases are more terrifying when you know your dog is going to bark [...]

Dogs of every breed, size and shape are jumping hurdles, running up A-frames, scampering across elevated walkways and diving through tunnels. So as not to get lost on the course, each dog [...]

But off leash obedience takes a lot of hard work, consistency, patience and training.

For more on getting great obedience on leash click here and [...]

My father, who owns a plumbing company, despises garbage disposals because he says they are nothing but trouble waiting to happen (stopped up drain). A professional firefighter friend doesn’t have any power strips in her house (fire hazard). Professional dog trainers, too, do a lot of things very differently than pet owners. Why do professionals do things differently than non-professionals? I think it’s because professionals see so much more in their [...]
